I NEED A BATCH!!!!!
Batch DANCE TIME

 

[Lauren]

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Only cleared a few captchas with them. Anyway, I just sent CopText Inc an exceptionally professional and polite message asking how to remedy the situation and I'll update you & everyone else if I have any luck getting the block reversed.

they still haven't approved 2 HITs of mine from almost 2 weeks ago

 

[The Bad Ash]

I don't know but along with my block from Neighborhood Effects the other day I'm pretty worried right now.
Only way to cure it is to take the rest of the week off and

I was thinking the same thing. With a pinterest block and that whole copytext situation i'm actually scared money.

Yeah... I'm certainly not holding my breath for any sort of response... but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

How often do you check on how much money you made for a day/week or whatever?

How often do you check on how much money you made for a day/week or whatever?

like every 5 seconds

I got this block yesterday...Never done a single hit by them. Though i was using their hits as a captcha clear.

Greetings from Mechanical Turk.

We regret to inform you that you were blocked from working on HITs by the following requester(s):

CopyText Inc.

Requesters typically block Workers who submit poor quality work.

Should additional requesters block you in the next few months, we may suspend your account.

Regards,
The Mechanical Turk Team

there isn't a single mention of this on their TO. I figured someone would have set fire to it by now.

I don't even turk, I just check to see how much money I made all day long.

For sure.
I'm not doing anything risky for a little while.

Though at the same time it's hard to tell where a block is going to come from next especially when you get stupid blocks out of nowhere like your copytext or my neighborhood effect block to prevent retakes.

I hate these 10 cent Sergeys. They're easy but I can never do more than 5 at a time for some reason.

We had a meeting earlier and decided it's ok if @The Bad Ash works on them but you're going to have to find another batch, sorry @bxpretzel

I love these....I've done 100's and all have been approved...but with all the recent blocks what I do is before I accept I check to make sure they have the information and if its there- then I accept...I've missed a few but better than being blocked for returning to many

 

[Not A Robot]

Ughh... Catching high paying HITs from PC is now so soothing and peaceful instead of abrasive. <3

That's a good point.
