Are Hit Catcher and Tracker considered something against TOS? Or just modification to the webpage via scripting?

They're allowed. The TOS only prohibits using scripts that automate the decision-making when doing HITs (or scripts that intentionally break the site).

Did you work on the last Amazon Requester inc. RVD team batch? I got the same 2 emails.

Amazon requesters are the scariest.

Yeah thats what im hoping, like if it was a few years ago when there was shit you could sub fast AF i could see getting a warning but that just ain't the case anymore. with all the throttling and shit like that you really can't.

 

[XWarrior]

Anyone else just get an account warning for scripts?

This message has nothing to do with the common tools (mts, catcher, tracker..) this in essence is saying you are using an automated process while doing actual hits. Such as scripts randomly picking answers, canned responses or what is called “lazy tasking,” ,,,partially using scripts and auto fillers but watching over the task with occasional interaction. As another mentioned it can be a requester you had issues with (communication back and forth, that believes you were just randomly picking answers or some automation to partially do the task)….. Go ahead and email Amz about the flagging and ask for explanation in a nice way, it might not ever be answered but also be sure to send nice follow ups anyway. Unfortunately we are at the mercy of ill advised or just plain unethical requester’s at times, but that is rare for the most part. Just focus on your tasks, only use tools that you need and at a minimum, avoid ANY even innocent automation during tasks. You should be fine really, if Amz had proof of it, they would have suspended you right out.
