So my mom doesn't have a job right now and I was going to teach her how to turk. She had signed up a couple weeks ago and asked me how long it took for the account to get approved. For my husband and I it only took 1-2 business days so I wasn't sure what was taking so long for her. Last night she got this e-mail:

Hello,

We have completed our review of your Amazon Mechanical Turk Worker Account. We regret to inform you that you will not be permitted to work on Mechanical Turk.

Our account review criteria are proprietary and we cannot disclose the reason why an invitation to complete registration has been denied. If our criteria for invitation changes, you may be invited to complete registration in the future.

Thank you for your interest in Mechanical Turk.

What in the world??? I've never heard of anyone getting rejected to work on mturk before. There's nothing that would hinder her from being qualified to work on mturk ... I mean, she's an American citizen with a valid SS# living in the US. Anyone know why they would turn her down and when they started doing this?

They started doing this a week or two ago. No one knows why and Amazon's not saying anything. :pensive:

sounds like to me, some information is probably wrong or doesnt match up. Even the slightest misspelling or wrong number they will probably not let you work.

So bizarre and dang, I wish she'd signed up sooner. :( I hate that they won't tell you why they denied your application!

Yeah, I just went through this a couple months ago when my laptop crashed and I had to reformat/reinstall Windows. It took forever to get it built back up and I just finally had it back to normal. I didn't know you could back it up and I didn't know it could just disappear without warning for no reason at all. :(
You can get 50 gig of free cloud storage at mega.nz. They have a nifty app for windows that will monitor any folders that you set it to and automatically back them up every day so you don't have to worry about it. I highly recommend them because of their privacy policy. They don't even keep a copy of your password so if you ever lose it you're up shit's creek. I like that level of privacy, personally.
