Did anyone else get blocked from CMU Hits? I did a handful of hits this morning, they were all approved, left to run errands, came back to find myself blocked. Never had that happen before.

Oh no! That is AWFUL! I think he would have made it to the Hall of Fame without the steroids so I think he should be in there but this just knocked my opinion down of him just a bit. Regardless of skin color, he could have made a positive or negative impression on your life forever and he chose to do the later. It is HORRIBLE to know an adult would do that to a child.
agreed. hopefully he's calmed down some now that he's a coach.

Wow, really? CMU used to be one of the good ones, but they have been REAL shady lately. They mass rejected a few of us a few weeks back, and now they are blocking?

I did 2 of the HITs today and backed out after, I don't feel comfortable with CMU anymore. The guy who runs it is actually pretty nice, we've emailed back and forth. His name is Travis, he might lift the block, he may not know it's a bad thing for you to have on your account.

I have never thought about on-line therapy. I just found an in person therapist though. If you don't mind can you send me any information you come across for a decent on-line therapist?
I would be happy to do that for you, PhantomCatt @PhantomCatt Can you just remind me in a few days that I promised to do that?

Yeah, I've talked to him as well and he had told me they were going to be releasing 1,000's of HITs here in the near future and to watch for them. Really nice guy but it completely threw me that I was blocked. I've done a few hundred of their HITs and haven't had any rejected. Emailed him so hopefully I can find out what's up. I just like to know what I did wrong, if anything.

When I was a kid I use to always go to games to meet the players. the astrodome was really, really lax on security and encouraged it. especially if you were a kid. The giants were in town for the end of the season. 3 day and 3 games. Got to meet the whole team pretty much. On the second to last night, I spotted Barry. kids surrounded him and he was signing. Barry was a hero to me. I get up to him and it was my turn. Barry looked me dead in the eye and said sorry kid. I dont sign for white people. I was 11... reality sunk in hard how much this world sucks. yikes.
I remember hearing something similar about Bonds. He always was an asshole. Fuck him, he's cursed forever. I'd have to look up how many career HRs he hit. Can't remember if it was 762 or 763. OTOH, I can always spit out 755 for Henry Aaron. He's legit.

yeh I have HDB...but the instructions said "this batch" so I checked the HIT ID against the other one from Dec and they were different...plus the HIT was different voices...and no exclusion qual...so I figured I was good....maybe some of those points will seem logical and responsible to them....
guess I should email from now since logic doesn't go too far with most requesters :/
I probably would have done the exact same thing a couple of weeks ago. I had a similar situation - spent 30 mins doing a HIT, then on the LAST page, instead of a code, it said I'd already completed the HIT /facepalm...lesson learned.

I didn't get blocked. I just checked. I did some this morning before I got errors. thanks for warning us I will stay away from those. also can you please leave TO.

HITID are unique so there will never be a match, there is not group ID available in HITDB so you can't use that. Best you can do is check for the HIT being titled the same.
