Hey, Im new to amazon Turk and I have a question, under assigned qualifications I have two different hits that i've done surveys for, and they are also in my pending qualifications but I am unable to do any of their work anymore, does that mean they blocked me?

No that just means they assigned you a qual to prevent retakes. It is common. If you were blocked you would get a message saying so when you tried to preview the hit.

They are probably exclusion qualifications to stop you being able to do the survey a second time. Some requesters block from individual HITS, some block linked HITS and some their whole project. It varies. And sometimes, you'll get an email from Amazon saying you've had a qual revoked and it's the requester doing housekeeping and removing all their old exclusion quals.

Do you still? I thought I saw @electrolyte mention that it no longer tells you you're blocked since the site change, it just says there's no HITs available to you. I may be misremembering.

not anymore, it just says requires qual as if you were non-qualled.

Well damn, i thought they just got rid of the email notifications. That really blows.

Do we know if PC still goes black when trying to grab a hit you are blocked on?

 

[lolkatB]

I thought if you were blocked , you couldn't find them in a search. But as I think i've been blocked by only 1 requester I have no clue.

Purple but that's the same as not qual'd.

That's what I was afraid of. I don't have any blocks, that I know of so i could not test for myself. Thanks.

I'm glad to see video card prices coming down finally. I'm probably going to build a new computer in the next few months

I'm still waiting for Ram prices to drop and from what I've read, I'll be waiting for a long time.

It's cause the manufacturers are overloaded with having to make ram for cell phones as well, right?
