Reports of Gaston Illanes blocking people from working on those HITs.

Well, the TOS prohibits requesters from accepting work done off-site. I guess they saw the $40 HIT with one question and figured that there must have been work submitted off-site, when I was really just paying $40 to answer that one question. There's nothing in the TOS about paying too much for a HIT, but it seems they have no problem with making that determination.

That is interesting because technically every Survey requester who sends us a follow up link n our emails and then bonuses us for completing it is in violation of the TOS.

I assume the bot just keeps repeating "this is awful we're all going to die" in a crisp British accent.

How very dare you, as long as we have a cup of tea glued to our palms we maintain the stiff upper lip at all times

Did the person that took the hit get his account unsuspended?

I haven't heard of any of these people...

But then I'm not really hip to the musics of today....

Blocks or qual blocks?

From TH: "The Requester (Gaston Illanes) has chosen to prevent you from working on any of this Requester's HITs."
Looks like blocks for failing his qual HITs.

Which is why I don't work on surveys, because I respect the terms of service so much.

 

[redtokyoboxers]

The potential of people losing their 5 qual over some shitty EPs is very funny/terrifying to me.

Hmm... I just emailed him back and let him know that blocking wasn't the best way to go about preventing retakes. He emailed me last night in response to a question I sent him.
