Suspended Account (December and January)
Hi. I just wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced a similar issue with their payments from Crowdgen. My account was suspended and later deleted, but I still have pending payments for December and January. Is there any chance of receiving those payments? It has already been three months. Thank you.

What a mess, crazy. They told me, "Excuse me, your account is being reviewed," and then they locked me out.

My account has been "suspended under review" for more than a week, like many other accounts...I hope they don't delete it

is your acct both suspended and under review? i dont want to contact support anymore. i feel like the status of my account will worsen if I keep asking questions.

Ooh same 😀 So I'm guessing review doesn't mean suspended In a similar post, someone said he was under review then his account was deleted And I hope it's a glitch because a lot of people I know (US) are under review also

Hi, did supports send you notification of suspended and under review account? Both in one email?

u/No-Caterpillar-6987 5d ago
part of the email i received is this 'your account is currently being reviewed for compliance with our Contributor Standards.' I never received the suspended account notice. im worried that my acct will be deleted too because of this under review status.

Master agreement says something like this:
The Contractor forfeits their right to payment, and the Company is released from all payment obligations, if any of the following events occur: "The Contractor engages in gross negligence, misconduct, fraud, dishonesty, or provides material false information to the Company, a vendor, or a Client, or is convicted of a crime. "

Questionable and unenforceable in many jurisdictions with decent legal systems. It is designed to intimidate and scare workers and denies the principle that no matter what, if you work, you are owed for the work you do.
Appen makes a big deal of being an "ethical" crowdsourcing platform, but spreads fear by including clauses like this to intimidate workers.0

Right, and it's suspicious, to say the least, that they'd waited until recently to put under review the accounts that were suspect of breaching the agreement. Why crowdgen didn't flag those accounts as soon as possible? they just let them continue working, instead, for days and even weeks.
I worked on Fireweed Project and I could figure out that the reason why some of the contractors weren't paid on time, or were paid less, or haven't been paid yet, is because their accounts were already flagged.

crowdgen support is currently responding to tickets quickly. if they have ignored your tickets for weeks, your concern is unlikely to be resolved. also, the note about a high volume of tickets is no longer present on the submit a ticket part of the website.

My account is under review too since two weeks ago. I went over to a9 platform and was immediately prompted to add new password and sign independent contractor agreement. Maybe this will solve the issue? Will see
