01/28 - Surprise Sunday!

[Evergreen Queen]

I'm doing that now. I'm not sure I want to work for a requester who does shit like this though.

I have done hundreds of his other HITs and they've all approved. All he had to do was not grant me the superstar qual and move on. This was beyond rude.

I totally agree with you. And even if you don’t want to work on his HITs, you can just ask him to unblock you and take away your qual.

I edited my previous post to say that you should explain what blocking workers does to their accounts. If he doesn’t know, he may reconsider.

Either way, I’m sorry you have to deal with this.

But I have booze.

You may live until the booze runs out.

Nah no psychological thing here.....it's just that I prefer putting hot sauce on (literally) everything instead. :thumbup:

I won't even eat a banana the long way.

Is that true?

Thank you. What he did was grant me the "did not read instructions" qual, which prevents me from being able to do his HITs.

I don't even know what to say to him. The two qual HITs are still pending, he could reject them too. All he had to do was NOT grant me the super star qual and call it a day. Why he gave me the qual to exclude me from doing his HITs I don't understand.

I don't know what to say to him.

 

[micky]

You sure it's a legit block?

I haven't known him to do that, only pull quals.
Though from what I hear different people may be running that account at different times.

He just granted me the "did not read instructions" qual which prevents me from doing his HITs. I consider that a block. So I have the "spray superstar" qual still and then this. The "spray superstar" qual is a totally different HIT. So now he's preventing me from doing that or qualifying for any of his other HITs ever again.

Bright side is that's not something that will hurt your account though.

I have the plant superstar Jeffrey Du qual and I always do his plant spray HITs. Today I tried the qualification for the weeds and cotton HITs. I did two, I personally had a hard time with them and figured I would not get the qual for those HITs.

Well, not only did I not get the qual, Jeffrey Du blocked me from doing ANY of his HITs. So now I can’t do the plant ones I have been doing anymore.

I’m super pissed, that was incredibly unnecessary and really mean of him to do.

G**, mickey, that SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! The BIG one!!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, the booze never runs out. It's pretty much the only reason I turk. As long as there are liquor stores that sell questionable canadian whiskeys is plastic bottles, the booze will never run out.

Hurts me financially because I do a lot of his other HITs.

Why am I the only one he would do this to?

 

[Lucille Jones]

Whatever happened to that really kind and earnest guy who used to make so much money working endless HITS that nobody else would touch too much? I can't remember his name, but he had a cartoon for an avatar?

Oh okay, sorry I misunderstood. At least it isn’t a hard block, although I totally understand your frustration. It doesn’t make sense to me either.

I would take a step back until you aren’t as angry and then message him (that’s what I have to do when dealing with stupid shit like this).

Good luck!

Not sure but writing a message will help hopefully.
Though if it was me....I would wait a few days until whoever is behind that computer isn't in a piss mood or whatever their reasoning was.

JEFFREY DU is a drinker I think. I did those cotton ones a bunch of them no problem. Then one day I couldn't do them any more. Then yesterday I get an email that I was qualified, or maybe it was friday and it said I had the qual but I still couldn't do the HITS. On Turkoptican there's similar stories.

By the way I am a Master Gardener and can tell a weed from a cotton plant at 20 yards.
