It is likely that my curses for the numerous injustices and discriminations of this platform (see the deeply discriminatory system of granting the "master" status) took effect, including my totally incorrect and abusive exclusion from the turkerview forum, ordered by this miserable christurk!

I got suspended. Now they are giving me the 'broken' message (but it's still suspended). They say I have a problem with my payments account (I don't have one. I transfer money to a bank account).

Sigh

I didn't go. I emailed them and told them my situation and skipped the mtg.

You need to follow the proper procedure. First unplug it(it might be cheating), swear at it(very helpful and absolutely necessary), then plug it back in and turn it on....of course this almost never works, but the experts say to do it, so we do it. Now you can swear at the experts.

Nah. They'd just shut down and not tell anyone. We'd find out by trying to log on.

 

[SininStyle]

So is this an everyone thing, or just a select few lucky winners?

 

[cassius]

Nah. They'd just shut down and not tell anyone. We'd find out by trying to log on.
