    Were you accepting more than 1 hit at a time and maybe submitting them too quickly? What HITS were you working on exactly? Have you had many rejections?

    Contact Amazon and ask about it, they're usually pretty quick to respond.

    I'm afraid there's nothing you can do right now other than to contact them. They've been suspending many accounts with less than 95% approval rating in the recent past.

    The first thing you need to do is contact Amazon. Some people have been able to get accounts reactivated and get back to work. Others have lost the account and money and others have lost the account but been able to get the money out. There's no definitive answer that anybody on this forum can give you because we don't know anything about your situation.

    In short, CONTACT AMAZON!

    Wise answers given already. I'm just posting to clarify one bit that I wouldn't want anyone inexperienced to misunderstand.

    The key here is that it would be a problem if you were doing both of those things (I believe that's how true meant it, too). So I'll just emphasize that in and of itself, accepting more than 1 HIT at a time is not a problem behavior. I do it all the time, and most transcribers on Turk have good reason to---I'm sure Turkers with other approaches/specialties do, too. Amazon lets you have 25 out at a time for a reason, and it's not to trap anyone. :)

    So submitting them to fast is not a problem there is one Hit that I have 5 tabs open and I grab all that I can and answer the questions and usually they all end at the same time and I just go through and hit submit one after another. Is this a problem do you feel?

    Hi, true,

    I think you might be addressing me. :) As I was emphasizing in my post above yours, you're most likely to have a problem when you *both* accept multiple HITs at one time and then submit them at a speed that a requester *might* think is too fast. That is exactly what your example describes. So I guess I'm confused now as to what you're asking.

    Just in case your question is about whether this will definitely get your account banned, I think that always depends on the requesters' reaction. Amazon seems to make no judgments about this themselves.

    Amazon may see this as a bot.
