Hi everyone! My account just got suspended (on my birthday, no less) and I honestly don't know why it happened. I'm an American, but I'm currently outside the states. I changed my location on my account when I left the states, so it doesn't still say I'm there. But MTurk is saying I violated the Participation Agreement. This was my only form of income, and they are saying they won't reverse the suspension. I also can't figure out how to make another account without deleting my Amazon account and making a new one.

What can I do? Thank you in advance for any advice!

There's always a chance your account will get suspended turking outside of US borders

So there's no hope to restore it? What about when I get back stateside, will they un-suspend it then?

If yall are wondering why I'm always posting about usertesting.com, there are a lot of reasons. And one of the main ones is that they do a much better job than mturk of protecting people from scammers like the Andy requester. If someone gives me a 1-2 star on usertesting, its always reviewed by someone and the rating is reversed when they see that the client was trying to scam... I don't have to do anything. Even with broken tests, if I spend more than 2 minutes on it, they will pay me for that time.

mturk could actually do that. They have the money to do that. They just won't because they don't care about the workers.

I really need to try usertesting again now that I got a new laptop, but my son has been home and it's way too loud. Maybe if he goes back to school in Fall.

Once your account is suspended there's basically no way for it to get unsuspended.

Actually, that's not true. Sometimes it's a mistake on their end and you just have to jump through their hoops again. But working outside the country could pose some problems.

I don't have a webcam, but I bought a decent mic for $20 on Amazon a few years ago, so I can do those easy audio recording HITs.
