requesters block

i have been prevented by a requestor . in general the blocks have any time period or it is a permanent for ever ?

 

I think it is permanent... and if you get too many locks Amazon bans you, I think, so be cautious. Others who have experience of blocks will no doubt be along soon to help you more.

 

Did u get the amazon warning mail after the block ? If so its of concern else it must be a soft block only..

 

What is the difference between soft and hard block? Apologies if this is answered elsewhere.

 

good question

 

A soft block is something where a requester prevents u from working on their HITs but that is not official where u r just revoked by the requester and u might be notified of that when u try to do their task.Just sounds like disqualifying u from it

A hard block is where a requester reports your work as worthless or spam and puts your worker ID in their blocked list followed by a warning mail from Amazon stating that your account is prone to permanent suspension incase u r blocked by multiple requesters.


What i've learnt from this forum is that the max blocks allowed wud be 3.

 

That's harsh ... 3? Ouch. I better start being nice to people

 

It wud seem harsh when u get the warning mail from mturk just after your very first block

 

ok thanku. its soft lock for me.

 

Is there any time limit like , within six months if u get three blocks u will be banned from mturk or u have only three lifelines for ur account.

 

Yep...multiple(3 as ppl usually say it) blocks on our account in three months time and Mturk suspends our account

So 1 block and we gota be very cautious for the next 3 months

 

I think Amazon emails you if you get a block.

 

am new worker of mturk. can u help me to earn high?

 

am new worker of mturk. Can u guide me to earn high income, my id: indirani.balu02@gmail.com

 

Please try to get knowledge from the posts in the threads on this forum rather than spamming on every topic....

Almost all guidances u require happen to exist here...

 

ask the requestor to unblock you

Even I once blocked by a major requester on Mturk but after that I contacted the requester and offered my apologies and promised that I won't repeat the mistakes again. The requester unblocked me in a few days.

 

Lucky you

 

They are supposed to -- doesn't always happen. The best way to find out is to email Amazon directly.
