    Mturk just suspended my account without giving me any reason. I called Amazon, all they did was e-mail the mturk people. Why would my account be suspended?

    How many accounts. They more than likely thought that it is impossible to make 1200 dollars in a 3 month period of time. That would send flags up. Then the fact that you more than likely submitting a lot of HITS that is another red flag. That sounds like a automated script doing the work. This is more than likely why you got suspended. I get days where I can do 25 HITS and then the last few days been getting over 2-300 HITS completed a day. This is not my max but I just do enough to make the extra chump change I need for gas, and Christmas Shopping this year. I then deposit into the checking account and then into the Saving's account and viola it earns some interest for Christmas Season.

    Hello. My account was suspended too, today, and I don't know why. I was clean, not having multiple accounts, nor been rejected by any requester.

    who's HITS had you been working on? figure that out and then post it and we can help you figure it out. Had you been doing a lot of the writing HITS?

    I usualy do HITs from Classify This, TransTest, Jessica Hullman, some of Dolores Labs. I never did writing HITs (write an article, write a question/answer etc).
    Other problem I think it could be, is that when I signed up, in the address field I wrote something like "dfgjhsdgf", not my real physical address. I was thinking that I would change it after registration, but forgot about it.

    Also, when I registered, I made my mTurk account with an email address, and amazon.com with a different email address. After a few days, I realized that the mTurk and amazon.com accounts have to be registered on the same email address. Then I tried to change the email on mTurk, and I don't know how it made me a new account, but I never worked HITs from that account.

    I also made an account from my computer for a friend, but with completely different name, email address, physical address, phone number etc.

    Before my account was suspended, I had approximately 10000 HITs submitted, with an approval rate above 97%.

    Sorry for my english, but it is not my native language. I'm from Romania, Eastern Europe.

    If you haven't already (though I guess you must have) contacted mturk about this, do that this very moment.

    That's fine. Tell you what? It's better than some of the native speakers I've known ;). Pity they can't have that excuse at their disposal.

    I wonder why you got suspended. See I don't work for Jessica Hullman or Transtest I do some Delores Labs. I wonder which three of them had banned you. I wonder if they are only banning the non American accounts cause they realize it is costing them more to send ship for checks and it is not worth it for them. I have no idea just speculating.

    How many rejections did you have in all. I have only 59 rejections so far and I have done 21,406 HITS Submitted and a 99.7% Acceptance rate so far. I am selective of who I work for during these times.

    I think of that too. As I said, when I tried to change my email address on mturk, it made me another account. I thought that doing this will just change my email with which I sign in, but instead, I repeat, it made me a new account.
    Since then, I never signed in to the new account. I worked only from my first account.
    Is there any chance to convince them to enable my account?

    You may want to contact them and explain to them what exactly happened. I have read that a lot of the people from India are getting the ban's and no I don't know why. If you have multiple accounts that could be why. I am just curious as well.

    That's strange! I've changed my email address couple of times without any problem.

    I sent them a message explaining what I think I did wrong, and asking (mostly begging :eek:) for reactivation. Hope they will understand me.

    Well, they didn't want to reactivate my account :(. I guess that's it. What I hate most, is they don't want to say why they suspend you. They only say that you violated the Participation Agreement/Conditions of Use (what a surprise! I never thought this was the reason why I was suspended). They won't tell you what part of Part. Agr./CoU did you violated.
    Thank God, that are some mTruk alternatives. Not so good as MTurk, but they are at the beginning.
    Good luck to everyone!
