    Hello,

    I'm wondering in the event a Requester is suspended, perhaps indefinitely, is the prepaid balance used to fund the jobs lost as well? Or can these funds be returned?

    For the record, I have only been warned...twice...over a long period of time. I'm a webmaster and the only job that I use mturk for is a file upload request (it's 100% safe, but I decided to be vague about it here).

    9 of 10 times there is no problem, but every now and then I get a warning. I've accumulated two warnings now, #1 was 10/25 and #2 was last week.

    Before someone eager to state the obvious tells me "well stop posting that type of HIT", I do it because A) I already have prepaid funds B) I have no other use for mturk as a requester but this... and believe me I have tried to think of some other job to ask for instead, but this is the only thing I need for my sites... and mturk is the only place I can easily find people for the job (sometimes within minutes my job requests are complete).

    btw...if anyone out there has a DSL modem or a way to change your IP address and is willing to upload short 5-10 megabyte videos, hit me up!

    Thanks in advance for your answers and for reading my thread :)

    I don't know, but do you think they should be? Are you rejecting people when you shouldn't?
