I believe I'll be able to improve and make hella money now that I have the right tools. I've been fighting with an old laptop to do even the most simple tasks, but my new laptop came in the mail today. This is where I'll post how I'm doing. I will also be posting which HITs I've worked on, or at least which requesters. Some days may be incredibly boring and I only work for CastingWords, but what can I say? I like non-verbatim transcriptions. Current stats: Approved HITs $212.61 Bonuses $34.75 Total Earnings $247.36 HITs Accepted 1906 — ... Submitted 1672 87.7% ... Returned 226 11.9% ... Abandoned 8 0.4% HITs Submitted 1672 — ... Approved 1658 99.4% ... Rejected 10 0.6% ... Pending 4 — Now I'm off to the scripts section since I can finally use them =)

My Amazon Payment Account's been restricted. Still waiting to hear if that's the end of mturk for me.
Your Amazon Payments account has been suspended You will not be able to use Amazon Mechanical Turk until your Amazon Payments account is in good standing. Please contact customer service. Living almost off the grid for years has caught up with me. Back when I can verify who I am.
oh no and that's the part that has me pissed right the fek off. my ssn has been verified. it's my address they can't confirm. so now i have to choose one of the more than two dozen addresses I've had in the last twelve years. i'm writing to them before i just start giving out previous addys
it wasn't random. i haven't had a valid state ID or drivers license in almost 5 years. it was going to happen sometime. i didn't lie to them, they just can't verify that my address is what i say it is because it's not in a government database...like a photo ID, taxes, tags for a car, etc.
Wow. Sorry I missed that part. That has got to be a pain. Can't you just go get a state ID? Actually don't answer that it's too personal. Anyhow, sorry to hear the bad news and I hope you can get it resolved.
So sorry to hear you're having troubles Whimsy Got my fingers crossed for you that you can get it sorted out ASAP
