    When I hit "Accept Hit" I got the following message:

    The Requester (Income Inequality) has chosen to prevent you from working on any of this Requester's HITs.
    There are a variety of reasons for Requesters to prevent particular Workers from completing their HITs.

    Is this a hard or soft block? I haven't received anything from Amazon.

    That's a hard block

    You'll get an email at some point tomorrow, I guarantee :(

    If any of you guys have got old account warning emails then check the time they were sent by selecting reply or forward and you will notice it's always the exact same time every day that you receive them. Then you will know when you get past that hour of the day you can breathe easy until tomorrow in the knowledge you don't have any blocks :rolleyes:

    edit: If the block is put in place as a prevention for duplicate surveys and not to stop you working on batch hits, then it's a soft block after all :D

    It's a soft block. I got it too from the same requester. No email, you must have done a survey for them before and they want only first-timers.

    As much as I dislike CF, one thing I dislike even more is dishonest workers that make us all look bad.

    ... Unfuckingreal. You admit to being a scammer?

    Anyone who is affected by the recent mTurk changes should voice your opinion to this [ insert expletive here because what I want to say is far too R-Rated for public forums even by my standards ] because it's people like him who are fucking it up for the rest of us.

    Word.
    No matter how horrible CF is, scamming is never ever justified. And CF pays as poorly as they do because they have a stupid system for trying to make up for workers like that. (they actually pay upwards of $7 an hour...they're just dividing that money up between 10 workers, using plurality to make up for the bogus workers.)

    This time you're spot-on, booty.
    Cam needs the ban.

    Ha.

    Yeah, I hate hate hate scam workers, too.

    And to the OP, that's a soft block, and it's nothing to worry about. It's exceedingly rare that honest workers get booted over survey blocks of this sort.

    That is sick CAM. You are the one full of it. People who click randomly affect us ALL. Don't work if you cannot do your job. People would love to have work like you- So many go without jobs and would just about die or do anything to have work and be alright. That is sick to take advantage of any job and it is SICK to get money from ANYONE when you haven't done the job- You don't deserve to be paid for work you didn't do. How would YOU like to have a company and then have no work or crappy work done for you? DO you want to pay for it and yet still not have the work done and lose your company and money? S I C K! I can't stand people who don't work when they have a job. You don't deserve pay. Go be homeless now. Because plenty of people are who don't deserve to be because idiots who don't do their job have work instead. Sick!

    You said you click stuff randomly-Which means you are not doing your job- Which also means the majority rules crap affects the rest of us since we constantly get told we got questions wrong when they are NOT wrong- Because of people like you! You need to be banned. And don't swear at Booty when you are the one who is wrong and not someone who deserves a job if all you are doing is scamming the person you are working for- Scamming IS clicking randomly and not actually DOING the job!
    You should get banned from the forum too if you are a scammer affecting the rest of our work and going around swearing at someone who posted.
    This forum needs a report button on posts.
