Why are people freaking out over soft blocks?

There is no such thing as a soft vs hard block.
A block is a block

Been turking since 2008. And pretty much the whole time the community has been telling people not to worry about soft blocks. Now everyone is worried?

The requester used actual blocks, not qual blocks.

It's an account block. There's no "hard block" or "soft block". There's no need to freak out when people get prevented from doing HITs by a requester applying a qual on a HIT but when the requester presses the "block this worker" button on the requester interface, it's a block on your account. No one knows why an email gets triggered sometimes and other times not, but an account block is an account block, and is worrisome because Amazon says they count those toward suspension.

How do we know that Amazon doesn't see a difference between a soft and hard block? Did they say so? Just because it shows just one option for requesters doesn't mean Amazon doesn't have some way of telling the difference on their end. That is unless like I said they did say something and I just wasn't around for the news.

Because there is no "soft block" or "hard block" button. There is "block worker" button.
