It was Kramer that sent me the first boilerplate message, telling me to go away. That was on the day that my account was suspended (last Wednesday.) That was also the last response that I got from anyone in the mturk dept. Emailing and calling like crazy does little good, unfortunately, when they either don't know what you're talking about or they just flat out ignore you.

They don't care. There's nothing in it for them to care. It's like the state quals that supposedly can't be changed. They'll jerk you around, claiming that they're working on it, but nothing will ever be done. It's not worth wasting time on them, tbh.

The last time I had an issue (not over this trivial gender qual) but about whether I could work or not, I got a boiler plate email from a different "person" every two days. They are not real people, but they want us to think they are. The only way I got it resolved, was by replying and saying, do not send me another auto response. I had to do that every time they sent me one. It took two weeks. It's really not fair when some people are dependent on the income. I also simultaneously got someone at Amazon (a supervisor who had somewhat heard, once upon a time, about something about Mturk) who said she would send a request to the Mturk support department, because they don't have emails and they don't have phones.

Good afternoon everyone!

I just got something like my 10th rejection from Ibotta. The thing is, they keep saying I didn't enter data when I know I did. The reason why I absolutely know I did is because I started entering data even if the receipt is too old. However, if that data is actually missing, then I have to submit it as an invalid receipt.

I don't really have any other requesters on Mturk anymore that I can work for anymore as many of my regulars have left the coop.

Yeah, I pretty much stated in my first email that I didn't want a canned response. They sent one anyway. So I sent it back and told them that that was exactly what I asked not to be sent. They sent another and I called them out on it again. That was Saturday. I haven't heard a peep from them since. I've even gone as far as to threaten arbitration (I sent that email to not only the contactus@mturk.com email, but also the Bezos email and one of their lawyers' emails.) Still, no response. They've essentially just put me on ignore and there's not really anything else I can do at this point, short of getting a lawyer to contact them.

Yes, I posted a HIT for another worker (idk if you remember Lot Krotan or not, from MTG.) It had a private qual on it and was literally just a text box that said "come here often?" It's actually the same template that I used to assign quals for this forum. But I guess this time they decided it was so egregious that they not only suspended me, they suspended Lot for simply doing the HIT.

There's ups and downs in mturk but consistency is key. If you make 0.00 in the next hour, then you'll be doing really well.
