Good point! Clearly he thinks all workers are honest. Of course, we at MTF are but I can't vouch for the rest of the Mturk riff raff

Wow, I always just posted snarky stuff about it because of a combination of him having a weird MTF history, multiple shady requester accounts, and garbage pay. Didn't know any of it had gone as far as blocking. I guess we could always post warnings about Mungbean/Froham/Foodstamp whenever he shows up with his trash posts from now on. Hope this isn't considered bullying someone coming to the forum to post honest work for a set price. Wouldn't want anyone to have their feelings hurt.
I wonder if Flora or Cowfin can do something to ban him. Surely what he is doing is just as bad as what others have done to be banned.
As far as I know requesters are allowed to post whatever they want here if it doesn't violate the rules. It appears some of his HITs are legitimate, if you could consider the pay legitimate, and from TO at least, others sound like they aren't. I've never looked at an actual HIT because it's not worth my time, although I guess I've spent a good 20 minutes in the last 2 years or so looking at his post history and TO reviews. Oops. I wonder if he posts crap for people who pay him and that's why some of it is legit and other stuff is messed up. Who knows.
