Just got done with 6s. Eyeballing these Strs but my eyes still aren't even open yet. Titles dropped a little bit ago. Might be more later considering how early it is.

Ah, so at least I'm not missing anything I can or want to do, lol. I already blocked STR from my scraper after getting the qual, they're just not my thing at all.
There was a regular masters batch up earlier that was pretty good. Strs are hard to get a groove with. I just pick at them while waiting for other stuff to pop. General replacements aren't bad, though.
these negotiation surveys are annoying when the other person is way to freaking serious make me think its the researcher doing it
Is there really a difference though? Idk, I did a survey a few weeks ago that also used the "soft block" method, so i'm not risking it.
Now that I've been poking around the requester API, it seems there's really only one type of block, as has been suggested before. It's likely that different methods of assigning a block determine whether the big scary email gets sent. For example, I know I've gotten plenty of quals before without an email, but when I assign quals through the CLI, the email automatically gets sent and there don't seem to be flags to suppress the email.
Supposedly the email gets sent out only if you provide a reason for the block. Whether Amazon actually regards them differently as a result is the question, I guess. I would imagine people would be freaking out more frequently about "out of the blue" account suspensions if they didn't, though.
Thanks for that info. Does the requester template suggest why a requester would decide to use one method of block vs. another?
Since we have no way of seeing how many blocks we actually have and Amazon recommends that requesters block us to prevent us from doing additional surveys, I wonder if you get the email after you have been blocked every X number of times. I used to do a lot more surveys than I do now, and have only gotten the email once, from a survey but I know I was blocked by someone else for something that wasn't a survey. The whole idea of doing surveys really puts me off because I am worried about that.
Method should be whatever the requester is using. Some just go through the UI, some use the command line, some use the API through their own or third party applications. Depends a lot on what the hit requires for publishing and for processing on their end, and how technical they care to get about it.
