12/28 - Tickle Thursday!

Speaking of being blocked, are we supposed to get an email when a requester blocks us? I never got one when Ben Peterson blocked me.

Not really. Most people find out when a panda changes color or they try and click on the HIT.

I just panda'd this to see if he really did block me...and he did. Not a fan.

I thought it was safe. Oh, well nobody should risk getting blocked over $0.03 every now and then.

 

[micky]

sometimes you do, sometimes you don't

It seems like sometimes you do and sometimes you don't.

Not really. Most people find out when a panda changes color or they try and click on the HIT.

So is there a way to tell if it's a hard block or a soft block? Will it effect my turk account?

as far as we know, there's no difference. hard/soft = block

possibly if you get too many in a short period, but it's all speculation

So technically we could be getting blocked by requesters left and right and never know. Hmmm. That seems rather unfair.

if you run an accept link, it'll tell you if you're blocked... that is if it doesn't redirect

Pretty much slept all day & based on HF log, I didn’t miss much.

Did the Mturk Database ever get updated?

I can't even see his HITs to try and accept them.

 

[MinkyMona]

There was just an update ... did you restart it?

Yeah. My turkmaster isn't showing up either. I don't know why my browser does this. Some times turkmaster will just disappear. HIT Finder doesn't load any hits either. I've updated my Chrome to the latest version, cleared cookies, restarted my PC. I don't know what else to do.

I did panda his HIT and saw that I don't qualify. I can't see them when they pop up on Mturk. He's clearly blocked me.

hmm. So with the redirect we can't run an old panda link to see if we've been blocked. so this sucks.
