so guys i was suspended and reinstated within 24 hours. long story and i have email proof but we have to remember our accounts totally depends on the requesters. i did not hesitate to contact not only the mechanical team but jeff bezos as well. i thanked the person who i think might be his secretary or the person who skims his emails. i had $419 in my account and ignored you guys about withdrawing it everyday . Thankfully everything worked out ok and im back on mturk. Questions welcomed.

I think the submission rate would still show how fast I'mg really doing them though...
Yes it would. The original reason we started advocating for people to cook their hits wasn't facilitate hiding how little time they spend on the hits (even though that was the eventual side effect)... what we were actually most concerned about was the giant blinking neon sign mturk had set up on the web client telling requesters they should lower the pay...

Glad you got it straightened out!!
This is like my worst nightmare, except the reinstating part. Which I guess is really sad when I think about it too hard. So I won't. :cautious:

And you gotta spend 30-45 seconds on each one. Ehh I'm already done
Wow. I read that missing the work 'seconds' or read it as cents, anyway I couldn't think how they'd make you pay each time.
Edit: sorry id stuck to posts together...fixed.
Edit 2: and fixed the part where i screwed up with wrong word. ok i quit.

Wow, what a nightmare. Did a requester block you and that's what caused it to happen?

Can we get a little more information? :eek: I gotta know what to avoid.

Like who caused it, what you had to email as proof, whatnot and stuff.

I think it's essential to work from queue or 25 tabs, not to skirt a requesters directions, but to try and circumvent pay being lowered.

I don't think we are talking about surveys, but we need to be careful when we all cook surveys, because then the ones who don't get punished for going "too fast".
