hello, how many blocks can a account have? can they just shut down your account over blocks?

No one really knows. The rough estimate is three over the course of a few months but Amazon hasn't published any kind of firm policy.

It's 67 degrees here and I want to die. I need to move to a really cold place, like Neptune or something.

Yes, accounts can be suspended because of blocks, but it may or may not have more to do with the reasons for those blocks rather than the quantity. As far as how many an account can have, no one knows.

Also, many people like to think that you can get 3 blocks or something in a given amount of time, but that's purely speculation. Pretty much everything involving blocks is just speculation because Amazon has never really been up front about anything.

Yeah, they put in 30+ videos for 10 cents. That has to be an error.

if you returned one at all you need to let the one you're getting an error on expire.

Never attribute to incompetence that which is adequately explained by the malice of a requester.

No, I'm on board with all that. People make up shit all the time about mturk because there's basically no evidence.

Yes, that's a block. I wouldn't worry too much about 1 or 2, honestly. As long as you're submitting quality work, I don't think there's really anything to worry about. It seems like the vast majority of suspensions happen to people that are getting blocks for doing sketchy stuff.

I feel this would be something that would be said before a game of thrones death.
