    Good morning! Was able to have a bit of a lay-in this morning, which was nice. Wife coming in from Vegas (she's been at a conference all week - I guess I better get rid of the dancing girls and do the dishes, right?) late today... although she is meant to be flying via Dallas, I believe - anyone know how the flooding is affecting flights?

    Good morning. My husband is in Africa visiting family and trying to get his business issues smoothed out. I was also thinking I need to clean the house before he gets home... hope flights are not affected for your wife

    Thanks! It has been a bit challenging with both my 11-year-old daughter and the dog adjusting to new routines. TBH, I think my daughter adjusted better than the dog, who's used to very late-night walks with my Wife (who works late hours). I took the dog out at about 10 last night and she was going really slow, as if to say "let's just stay out here for a few hours"... while I was ready to crash!

    But there are a few things that were set down just before my Wife left that are still where they were set down, so I'd better move things around a bit, right? ;)

    BTW: just got a text from my Wife saying that her 1st flight (Vegas to Dallas) already has a 40 minute delay. Not boding too well!

    I'd say make the dancing girls do the dishes, then ask them to leave. #2birdsonestone

    YCEI Lab...I did this survey yesterday. I had the impression that there would be some sort of follow up that may need to completed. Did anyone get an email or anything?

    Greetings from Mechanical Turk.

    We regret to inform you that you were blocked from working on HITs by the following requester(s):

    John Smith

    Requesters typically block Workers who submit poor quality work.

    Should additional requesters block you in the next few months, we may suspend your account.

    Regards,
    The Mechanical Turk Team


    Wow, after 2500 approved hits just from this requester, a hard block with no reason. Guess there's a first time for everything!

    Anyone else got this lovely email this morning?

    Not a good way to wake up.

    I haven't gotten that e-mail yet but now I'm worried about it. Sorry about the block.

    I also heard yesterday that his new alter-ego, "Matt" (who is submitting identical hits) is also hard-blocking Turkers who John Smith blocked - even without having done a hit. 3 hard blocks in 6 months is all you need to get suspended.

    Do not even accept a hit from "Matt" (same app annotation). They are either John Smith as well or he works with Smith, and everyone that was blocked by John Smith in the past was auto-blocked by Matt yesterday, even if they didn't do any of his hits! You may be safe because you were blocked by Smith AFTER Matt posted his hits.

    MyLikes are easy to do in between other hits, but I'm getting sick of so many skanky pics.

    When I logged in yesterday (maybe around 7:30 pm) people were talking about him and Matt something (think it is the same requester) blocking people. I think I have only done a few of the hits a couple of weeks ago so I did not pay that much attention (hits just were not my cup of tea)
