But there's really no excuse for a system which doesn't privilege it's best users--or at least protect them from the typical frustrations. <br /><br />It seems pretty clear that there are ways which would let Amazon handle blocks and bans which wouldn't step on the good toes. You're probably right about them being underfunded, but when you slap your name on something, and it gets hailed as the future of global employment, the bar is pretty high, and I don't think they're meeting it. As I hope is clear, Amazon will fix this problem when they decide it benefits them to do so, or costs them too much to not. <br /><br />Meanwhile, we are lucky they listen to you. The question is, despite your ardent advocacy, why should your position exist at all. I think you know what I mean. You do great work that ideally shouldn't need to be done at all.BrokenTurkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050336263859583722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515778055962384422.post-4003914466504444062010-11-01T11:11:11.106-07:002010-11-01T11:11:11.106-07:00LOL!

Thanks, I think :) We do have to have *some* consideration for the other side of the coin - hundreds of accounts are suspended every week, and 99.9% of them are total douchebags. Amazon does care about workers, but (and this is just my perception of the situation) they're totally overworked and underpaid at mTurk. I have a feeling they keep taking funds from mTurk and they're sort of left high and dry as far as staffing is concerned. I think we're lucky that they listen to me at all :)Spamgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605259587304333737noreply@blogger.com
