People who pay enough to make kryss @kryssyy consider working on their tasks are almost never the ones doing shady shit. Every horror story on here is from some low paying garbage tier requester that desperate people are working for (not a criticism, most of us have been there). Every high paying one-off batch that people are like "scared money oh no what if they reject" always approves.

Specific to this, communication adds a lot to the cost of the work for the requester. Their time is valuable, and probably more valuable than ours, because they're paying us, not the other way around. A decent paying requester that blocks you probably had a reason and explaining it is probably not worth the time when there's more workers out there doing the tasks the way you want. I'd prefer they didn't block, but like I said, it's one block, who gives a fuck.

I should write an angry anti-worker mturk manifesto.

Edit: I mean a longer one than that.
instead of red panda, now you are a crocodile! rawr. I agree with you. Just seems like requesters have been extra harsh? maybe wrong word. lately. I dunno.

I just want to let everyone know that we're going to rig the survivor thing so that Vanyanka @Vanyanka wins. So you may as well just put one of these buttons in your signature so that you all can rest assured that you're on the winning team.

Well as a believer in the democratic way, this crosses Vanyanka off my list!

I default to siding with the requesters in almost all cases if they're paying well, because we've seen the trash people submit every time we review work.

Agreed. Why I dont do zoltars. Felt like I was screwing up. Just sucks if thats what people base alot of their income on.

Related to this, electrolyte @electrolyte do you have some sense of how many workers there are in total on mturk vs. how many use this forum?
