I really should do some work.

Struggling to focus on turking today. I'm more just on the forum for a distraction today I think.
My boyfriend found out his moms husband passed away this morning. He was just diagnosed with cancer 3 weeks ago.

I'm so sorry :disappointed:

What the crap does this mean????

There is a thread where @Metallica helps deal with susepensions. You might want to post there but this will get his attention if he's seen this before he might have more answers for you.

Are we supposed to do this more than once?

I did this a day or so ago and didn't get the qual to block me from doing it again or a qual to do the ones that come after.

Did it time out while it was waiting for a partner to show up? If it did you can do it again.
That happened to me on the third one and I've been getting about two Emails a day (more?) from them asking me to do the third one again.

Has anyone seen any of the, "Trace Object Boundaries," HITs since yesterday when they all just disappeared? I'm wondering if I got blocked or if they've disappeared for everyone. Do you know of any way I can figure this kind of thing out on my own? If they soft-banned me, wouldn't I get a new qual. message?

I know, I'm sick, I really enjoyed those HITs. Don't ask me why... The pay really isn't awesome on them but they are... Soothing?

No it's just the tutorial without a real partner and I had thrown it back the very first time because it was confusing, so I've accepted it 3 times now (only submitted once) and it was identical all three times so I'm assuming that at least the first one is just a tutorial we can only do once.

The HIT expired last night around 7:00 pm eastern, there are none up right now.

Has anyone heard about GeoHive quals yet?

@KYKITTY that message is part of their "initiative" to let workers know if they're in trouble, at least according to what Electrolyte was told in 2017(?). So basically they just try to let you know you might get suspended soon, instead of outright giving you the boot. I helped a guy on Reddit a few weeks back that got that message; he contacted Amazon about it and they just gave him some dumb copypasta about working correctly or whatever. He just kept doing his thing, and as far as I know, he hasn't been suspended. If you'd like, I'll give you a contact address to see if it will help things.

Not yet, super nervous tho

 

[Mr_AvocadoMan]

I'm not catching anything

 

[Sondi]

Feels like I'm working doggedly today but I've only made $16

I think they pulled the rest of the batch last night. They went from a little over 5000 to 0 within about 30ish minutes. Not sure why. I sort of thought they'd repost a batch last night, but they didn't. Hoping to see some new ones today.

Guess today will be like the rest of this week where all the work pops up at 5pm

I haven't completed one hit at all.

Was hoping for some magic batch to drop.

My PE sucks, but my 2 hour nap felt great. I just smoked and now it's time to count some circles.

The HIT was set to expire last night, not sure why they set it to expire in 2 days (i think) considering the last batch before this took forever to get done(and didnt require a qual). I am hoping that they post more today too since there isn't much else to work on ATM.

I was just thinking the same thing.

I didn't even notice that they were set to expire last night. That makes more sense than them pulling the rest of the batch for no reason, like I assumed. I hope they post today. I'm just a little addicted to them.
