Is this a block?

The Requester (NAME NOT SHOWN) 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.


Got this on a survey hit.
Juts wonder if this is a hard block.
I hear if you get 3 blocks they suspend your account.


Thanks

 

Thanks..

I was thinking it wasnt a hard block.
I mean no one can keep up with every survey they have taken to not inadvertently do one twice now and then.

 

Found this on that thread:

To jluchkiw:The block applied by "Gary H" does nothing to put your account in risk of suspension. There are no negative connotations for Workers when Requesters use blocks to prevent duplicates. We recommend this to Requesters on a regular basis.

To JMucktuker: 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.
Found this on that thread:
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.
