So requesters can see when you skip/return their HITs??
I dunno I have heard of someone getting block from Jon brelig or someone back in the day for using them for captcha and returning them.. I would say it was from cherry picking the broken ones rather then actually skpping them.. I dunno though.

Not exactly, but if they look at a worker's responses and all of those responses say "not found" or whatever, they may think that that person was just subbing those without checking.
That makes more sense. Thx ladies (i think?)

There was like one person on MTF back in the day that claimed that happened with Oscar Smith. I don't think there was any truth to it, though. I think, knowing that Oscar was what everyone used to clear captchas back then, they were just trolling. But some people chose to believe it and kept spreading that rumor around.

Yes, but only with obscure API commands, and very very few of them have ever been known to use that.

I think you're thinking of Oscar Smith. Brelig doesn't give a shit.

Yes, it seems clear to me that the issue was submitting entirely N/A-equivalent answers without any of substance.

This is the requester E @Elias was talking about; the reviews indicate they have very strict expectations, and have given rejections accordingly to multiple people, though I think this is the first block I've heard of from them.

can a requester block a user that doesn't do their hits?
