    Hi! Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I've been turking casually for quite a while. I used to frequent another forum, but there have been many changes there that prevents new or casual turkers from seeing anything useful, so I set out today to find a new forum that I could be a part of. I love to share when I find a good Hit or Requester and I love being able to see other's experiences as well. It makes the turking experience much more pleasant and profitable :)

    Why is that I feel you are referring to TN!
    Start a new thread.

    To answer your query, number of rejections doesn't translate directly into a block. Though a requester might reject your work and block you too.

    If you have a block from a requester, take it as a warning sign. Be extra careful in your work. Do the ones you can. Return the ones you are not sure of. Another one or two blocks, you will be kissing your money and account good bye.

    Welcome JillyBean!

    I think the site you're referring to is in fact TN. I used to lurk on their old site as well, had pages bookmarked, and now no longer have access. I didn't realize that in only taking info while not giving anything back, I was being a bad turker. We need to stick together and help each other because if we don't, mturk has the potential to be extremely exploitative of turkers.

    Now that I have more experience, I'm a member of their new site, this one, and I also post on Turkopticon under this name. I think all three are excellent resources for turkers, and now I know to give back as much info as I take. So you're on the right track by already by doing both. :)

    I think you'll find this site is a great resource, so dive right in! I've found some very helpful info here (while giving some back!) that has helped earn me more $$.

    Good luck and happy turking!
