If they feel it brings retribution, maybe they could just create a special qual that "blocks" the worker instead.
Lemme find the link. I think he also complained that such a qual was "too much work"

While it's dead and I'm watching malpractice, there's one requester who's complaining on the AWS board that he doesn't think workers should know who blocked them. Says it's none of our business and just invites retribution. Thoughts?
If someone I work for doesn't like the work I do and wants to block me from doing further work for them, I think that is my business.

Maybe if MTurk had some kind of system where you knew how many blocks led to suspension and you could check your account status, appeal unfair blocks, and communicate with MTurk about your account standing, then it would be possibly okay to not have the requester's name fully visible. But since that's not the type of system we have, then nope.

I don't trust these. Until I hear back from the requester. The work is shoddy, and alot of the profiles will show No info or limited info because of FB privacy settings.
