    1 I notice it seems to be all men who get banned
    2 Banning is based upon arbitrary reasons

    For Instance
    I had a whole bunch of women attacking me for being audacious enough to disagree with a poster who started a pity party thread saying her Boyfreind said she should get a real job. I am sure you can make money off of Mturk
    But this woman was making 20 bucks a day

    After saying I agree with the boyfreind. I had women telling me I was on their bad side
    And they implied this would be a bad thing for me. And it was:D.

    I do not think they want to share any information over at ************. I also think They are biased against men and free speech which is funny since they have a stop censorship label pasted over their logo

    Also if you want to know what Spamgirl thinks about this Board. When you get banned she redirects banned users here.:rolleyes:

    I'm female, and I was banned at **.

    I think Spamgirl is just a bitch on a power trip. Plain and simple. She doesn't like men or other alpha females, so she kicks them out.

    And FYI---Any private establishment is not protected by "free speech". "free speech" only applies to public places and government institutions. If you are on a private forum, the owner of said forum can kick you off at any time for any reason. Even if their reasons are utter bullshit.

    Well I do understand that private forums are at the will of the Owner
    However
    Promoting free speech and banning people for voicing their opinons are two contradictary ideas
    I had posters telling me I was on their bad side and that bad things would happen to me
    Seems to be a lot of power trippers over their.
    BTW spamgirl.
    I am still on your site under a different name, Guess which one? Ever heard of VPN?

    I don’t have a problem with private forums. If you want to pass high-dollar survey HITs to each other before the broader base of workers gets them, that is one thing.

    But I do have a problem when private forums invite requesters to set up forums there and then start blocking Turkers out. You can’t claim to speak for “Turker Nation” when you are running a clique with a clear in-group / out-group dynamic.

    This is a huge conflict of interest and it needs to be addressed by AMT.

    I have complained to Amazon about this sort of behavior. I have also asked them to set up a forum where all requestors & workers can speak without having to stay in the good graces of a third party.

    Perhaps more people should petition AMT to set up a forum of their own for requester / worker communication: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/contactus

    Well I understand from the Get go that there is some conflict of interest issues plagueing Turkeynation
    But then again I figured that if I got in their good graces then I would have access to the good stuff we all know they share at the higher levels
    I mentioned I had a day job and spazgirl told me straight out. Why are you coming here and trying to take our jobs?

    I doubt very much that it was the fact that you are male that led to you dismissal. It seems to me that both men and women are treated equally at **.

    I have no idea why the last four people were banned or what rules they violated. All I was saying is that it seems to me that both male and females are treated equally over there. Please if you have inside information then enlighten us with it.

    Hi nivedihita.... are you blocked from certain requesters or just don't have the qualifications to do their hits?

    In the past there have been a few requesters who will pay for work that is not up to their standards yet still block the worker. This is both good and bad in my opinion. It is good because it does not affect your approval rating and you get paid. Yet it is bad because, if you get a few blocks your account will be suspended (nobody really knows how many you need for a suspension). I guess it is just a matter of what the requester wants to do. Sorry.

    nivedhita---

    This thread is talking about being banned from another forum, not requesters.


    cobeyug--

    That takes talent! How did you accomplish that?
