09/07 - Fumbled Friday!

Is that the serious kind of block? Is that how that works, or a softblock. I've no idea the difference as I have never had a problem with him or anyone else.

 

There is no such thing as a soft block. This is the serious kind of block, but don't run around screaming or anything just yet.

I have well over 10 blocks that I am aware of, and god knows how many more. I'm still here, and while not ideal its not the end of the world. As long as you are not truly scamming requesters you should be okay, so don't freak out!

maybe it will take awhile for the block to go away? I doubt it though. maybe he unblocked someone else by mistake. emailing your mturk ID and asking him to unblock you might help.

 

Noah has been known to unblock people, just message him and ask for clarity

 

No scamming, his hit interface wasn't working. I tried to be helpful and emailed a screen shot of how it was messed up. Then I emailed again when the directions game was stopping mid hit, I had suggested a qual hit to get used to it before diving in to the real thing. We seemed to have a good convo going on, until he said sorry you did not like the hit. wasn't the case at all as I actually enjoy the hit, I was curious if certain browsers were better than others. Done a ton of work and had many bonuses from him above the normal bonuses with wonderful feedback. So this is odd.

 

Thanks for the info guys, I emailed and apologized for bothering him if I had and told him if he lifted the block I would stay away from those hits going forward.

this will be your best bet, good luck!

 

He's blocking people who did the RTS coach hits too quickly on the batches today

 

Is this block talk about Noah again? This is why he has been blocked by most of us for well over a year lol

 

yeah noah again lol

With the wave of mturk banningingings its troublesome tho

 

It's exactly why I blocked him the first mention of blocks back when....I do that to any req giving out blocks because it is the fast train to no account.
