Anyone having issues getting to google-y stuff? (drive, gmail, etc)

edit: Actually I can get to gmail fine, but I can't get to any settings/google drive/hangouts)
Mm I got an email that I didn't get a notification for on my phone so that might indicate a problem with their push system. Beyond that, I don't think so.

"You previuously worked on a HIT for us that related ot social network analysis. Thank you again for your work. We are about to deploy a new HIT that contains the identical set of graphs. Since you have already seen this data we are restricting this HIT to workers who have not seen the data before. You will not be able to do thus HIT but we will be deploying a fresh set in the near future.
Thanks!"

I've never gotten an email from a requester specifically asking me not to work on their HIT.

Re: blocks, here's what Isaac from AWS said -

...there is not a functional difference between what you call a "hard" or "soft" block. Therefore blocks put in place to "prevent duplicates" would be reported to the worker via the email system. Some workers literally have dozens of blocks on their accounts for this use case and it does no harm to them as a worker on Mechanical Turk.

...There are no negative connotations for Workers when Requesters use blocks to prevent duplicates. We recommend this to Requesters on a regular basis.

...As cited above when you get the email notifying you the Requester has blocked your account it usually contains a reason for the block if one is entered by a Requester. We ignore blocks without any specific cause for purposes of worker quality.

Therefore it cannot lead to account suspension for workers. This is why we freely recommend Requesters use blocks as a way to limit their worker population because it has no negative effect for the workers account.

Please note we do have a thorough process of review and appeal for Workers who's accounts were suspended for Requester Complaint. If you are concerned about the blocks on your account please contact us via the web form and we will be happy to review them for you.
