05/10 - Wasabi Wednesday!

I could certainly use a break.

 

[MindNumbing]

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.

Do you get to withdraw any money you had or is that locked as well?

I've been gone for awhile and I am so upset to hear this. This is shocking. I mean it's mturk so not really but jfc. I'm so sorry.

I wasn't around to see this when it first happened but I've read back now and I want you to know I am ready and willing to write a strongly worded letter in your defense.

Also, hi.

Also this is so dumb and I hope it gets resolved ASAP.

Thankfully, I didn't have any money in my account, aside from like $50 in pending HITs, because I had stopped working a couple months ago to deal with moving. I of course lost whatever was pending, though.

But what's strange is that I can still use Amazon Payments. Every time I've heard of people being suspended, they always mentioned being locked out of AP, too, within a few days of being suspended. My AP account seems completely fine. idk.

I appreciate the offer, and you're welcome to if you like. But it's okay if you don't. This whole experience has been incredibly emotionally draining for me and I seriously considering just throwing in the towel at this point, so I can start to move on and plan my next step.

It would be one thing if I were actually getting responses, boilerplate or not, but I've been getting nothing. It's like I wake up every morning and spend an hour writing out these long heartfelt messages, pleading with them while I'm fighting back tears, only to have them just seemingly get lost in a void somewhere. It's discouraging and it's upsetting. I can't do it anymore.

Oops...how can they give partial credit though? Can they change the HIT amount after it's been completed?
