I got banned for reporting a scammy researcher. Unlike Prolific, participants have no rights or recourse here. Cloud is owned by Amazon and they have the same ethics. All workers are disposable.

They are mass 'waitlisting' people who have had no rejections and 5 star ratings out of nowhere, with no justification or notification whatsoever. There are long reddit threads about this site just banning people out of nowhere. The ban is permanent and there is no way to reverse it. Nobody even knows what they have done to deserve getting banned. Don't even bother. It doesn't pay much anyway.

I have been a member of Cloud Connect for about a month now. I have a near perfect score (838/850 and 5 out of 5 stars) and zero rejections. I give every project my full attention and make sure to adhere to all guidelines. This morning I woke up to find that I had been "waitlisted" (which means you have been banned from the platform). I emailed them to find out why. Their reply to me is below, to which they never followed up with any specifics when I asked for more detail. This is absolutely ridiculous. Apparently they did a large wave of bans today for which they gave the same reason, also without specifics. I believe they want to make room for newer, more "naive" participants, which is a shame, and a poor way to treat loyal participants. Hi, It's not a mistake.
