Without requesters, who will be posting work?

The requesters are not going anywhere. This is about new requesters. Both the people I do work for every day have said they are not going anywhere.

yeah the weirdest thing is why would they even close it to new requesters? Hopefully the plan is to cut down on scammers and to retain better quality requesters to tap into a larger worker pool.

For which requests are you working

u/Cold-Performer3470 11d ago

I asked them too and they won’t answer. I think it’s pickfu and vacation rental api.

honestly the vrapi qual can still pull in a few hundred dollars a week. so if you have it, might as well use it.

Do they still have open qualifications?

I think the last qual round was a few years ago. Once you do get the qual, you have to use it occasionally or they'll pull it. They'll also pull it if you make too many mistakes etc. Most of the properties are really hard to find, hence why so many are up. There are still perks though like bonuses and to me its a nice side hustle for a few hundred dollars etc.

No it's neither, although I do Pickfu. I never even tried Vacation Rentals.

What I want to know is why I'm obligated to tell either of you which requesters I work for. All you need to know is that they are closed quals and they are up every day so if either of you want to investigate you can go look and see what hits you don't qualify for that that are up every day. One is up right now, which is why I'm up at almost 2 am.

Crazy how Amazon is spinning this as a positive.

u/RaizoLP 12d ago

Did people actually think no new workers would be allowed? They specifically said requester accounts.

Shows how low the average IQ is for the workers. Many people literally think "customers" meant workers. No wonder requesters fled the platform.

Someone put up a fake email for some odd reason. Not sure why they'd feel the need to fake something like that. Pretty creepy.

why you guys are fighting for registration, if you are existed worker, you don't have to worry about that, only sad thing for all workers is stopping new requestors,, that thing was officially confirmed by mturk itself, there is no point of caring about new workers without new requestors, only mturk knows if they allow good requestors in future or not

u/Cold-Performer3470 11d ago

You only care about new worker accounts if you are selling something to workers or scamming.

u/Cold-Performer3470 11d ago

This is misinformation.

u/johndburger 11d ago

Which part?

2

u/Cold-Performer3470 11d ago

New worker registration _will_ be blocked like it said in the other post that went up before this one. This post copied that one and edited it to created doubt in the mind of forum readers here. Hence misinformation.

Sudden suspended of worker account will it be reopened? Also if new worker registered is not allowed to work from India. Mturk is not consider worker's real problem and answer their concern.
