yeah, i gotta get the toggle of the export buttons done before that since its a bigger impact.

If I knew anything about programming I would help. I've been thinking about taking some of those free MIT courses or maybe even some IT courses in general but I'm not sure exactly where my interest lies with computers. I think programming would be interesting because that could open me up to robots and stuff .

E-mail them, it's what I did. Reddit has a lot of bs on it, but getting the answer directly from Mturk helped a lot.

It's why people have so many "soft blocks" - aka requesters not leaving a comment. Each one goes through to Mturk, and if it has no comment how can they decypher if it's worthy of being banned over? Or simply using there feature for one of its intended purposes?

According to Amazon's Mechanical Turk Requester Best Practices Guide, the intended purpose of a block is to prevent bad workers from continuing to do your work. (Source [PDF])

Blocking Workers
If a Worker continually submits unacceptable answers you should block the Worker. Blocking a Worker
will prevent that Worker from completing any more HITs for you. This can be important when you find a
particularly inaccurate Worker, or a Worker who is not responding to feedback, training, or other
communication.

When you block a Worker who is a poor performer, you are helping all Requesters by providing
valuable feedback to Mechanical Turk about the Worker. A Worker who receives multiple blocks
from different Requesters will be suspended from working on Mechanical Turk.

True. I still feel it's not a bad way to stop people from doing your survey when you're ignorant to Mturk.

Hence why Mturk's leniency on the subject, as I'd be banned long ago.

One day, you probably will, and then you realize, you need to be more careful of what you wish for.

Bookmarked!

So I guess I want to learn javascript then? I might do well to try a couple of different things and see what my old man brain grabs onto the easiest.
