I guess my logic when it comes to blocks is -- yes I know there's only one block button -- that half the time emails aren't sent it seems. The only reason I found out about this is that I had i on my Panda. How many one-off surveys have I done? Thousands. How many random little batches have I done? Hundreds probably. Who knows how many random ass blocks have I gotten from a requester who doesn't know it's a no-no? Probably a bunch, and I have no idea. So, I'm not gonna stress it, or I would stress about everything.

Maybe the blocks that are not sent by email do not have a reason for it, so they would not count.

I didn't get an email on the Polar one

People have played around with this and put reasons, not put reasons, put "terrible worker" etc and block emails didn't come out. I think /usually/ the emails are triggered on mass blocks, but it's completely speculation and even mTurk doesn't know why the emails do or do not generate.

I am so glad I didn't start working on any Polar. I've been a bit tempted seeing many of you are working on it, but didn't have enough time luckily. Hope he is going to reverse all the blocks and rejections. It's not nice to do that right before the New Years Eve . Nasty requester.

Sorry just jumped back in thread. Should probably scroll up and see if people are discussing this already.
Sorry that happened to you.

New Year's resolutions:

1. Don't work on Polar
2. Don't work in general.

Normally I'd agree, but I had 2 approved this morning and 1 rejected with this reason;

Insufficient exploration of the subject app. 2 app activity triggered: [u'com.duolingo/.app.LoginActivity', u'com.duolingo/.app.LoginActivity']

Bullshit. I spent 10 minutes on the app, did 2 rounds of Italian practice and generated 800 lines of logs. Done with them.

I am too new to start risking yet . I still have a hope that I will get masters one day, hahaha, so I am going to stick with safe requesters I guess.
