She's going to come back and everyone is going to be excited -- but it will be with garbage HITs no one wants to do that sit forever before she pulls them down and disappears forever.

Now this, I believe. lol

Yeah, except that a lot of people that got it weren't even using scripts.

Maybe there was some lazy method of detecting "bots," like checking if Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey is loaded or modifying page content.

My mturk account was started in 2011, I haven't used Tampermonkey since Turkmaster was a thing, and I haven't received an email.

They probably tweeked the system and that was sent randomly. No one is gonna have their account suspended.

guess we'll find out something is up when I'm able to catch just about everything I panda.

That part shouldn't matter because of this "We are generally OK with you using scripts and automation tools to help you search and preview Human Intelligence Tasks ("HITs") more efficiently on the MTurk website, as long as those scripts and automation tools (1) do not serve as a substitute for your human judgment to complete work, " from their acceptable-use-policy

That's why I'm worried. I TRY to use scripts like everyone else.

How fucking shitty would that be to get an email w/o even benefiting from scripts b/c I have Tampermonkey and shit? ?

well, I have Tampermonkey loaded because it is needed to run MTS and I haven't gotten a script warning message yet...

Hey I just wanna pop in and say I might have a clue why some people are getting the warning message in their emails from Mturk, I think its related to the recent A9 data validation batch, since its run by amazon they probably have ways to see where people click on these and I know a lot of people use scripts to click the bubbles in these to make em faster. Those of you who got the message did you recently do a ton of A9 data validation HIT's?

[C to the J]

I did but I haven't gotten very far. Apparently the version I have is gimped and doesn't have multiplayer or one of the dlcs (apparently the best one.)

Also this post was hidden because I turned on hide PE posts and you quoted one

I wasn't one of the people who worked on these hits and got the email

Same. I don't believe I've ever done a hit for that requester.

I haven't done anything from any of the Amazon requesters since probably barcodes, and they stopped posting like a year and a half ago.

I miss them so much

Speaking to several people that got the email, there's not a single hit / batch / requester in common.

It's either gotta be an account-level thing, or a straight up mistake.
