    I modified the 'Block Requesters' script to allow you to block individual HITs in the same manner. After you've installed the script, if you have any mturk search pages open, refresh them and you should see a small 'x' next to the 'View a HIT in this group' button. Click that and the page will refresh with the selected HIT hidden. If you want to view your blocked HITs for a given page, you will see a link that says 'Show X rBlocked' where X is the number of HITs which you've hidden on that page. Click that link and the page will refresh with the hidden HITs now visible and an option to unblock them. Pretty easy!

    Notes:
    • This is still in what you would call 'beta' mode, as I've only tested it out on Firefox with Greasemonkey. If anyone is using other user-script-compatible browsers, let me know if everything appears to be working.
    • This does not replace the 'Block Requesters' script, nor does it require it, so they should have no problem working together or separately. If you block a HIT AND its requester, you will have to unblock them both in order to completely unblock the HIT.
    • 'rBlock' doesn't mean anything in particular, it's just to distinguish individually blocked HITs from ones blocked due to requester.
    • The vast majority of the credit for this goes to the author of the original script, all I did was modify a few lines of code to switch the focus from requesters to requests.

    Please post any questions, comments, errors and suggestions in this thread. I will be working on improving the script a bit and will announce updates when applicable. I hope this helps your turking, I know it will definitely help mine!

    You're welcome!
    Every little bit of convenience/time-saving helps, I breeze through the search pages now, though I guess I wish there were a lot fewer that I needed to hide!
    :D

    ok I downloaded it and it gave me a new toolbar. How do I actually use this to block requesters or hits that I dont want to see?

    you need to use tampermonkey or whatever the greasemonkey equivalent is for chrome

    this shouldn't have given you any toolbar. all it does is add an 'x' next to 'view this hit' so that you can hide it from your search results...

    I know I'm really late to the party, but does this script still work?

    I downloaded it today & when I click the x to block a HIT, the page doesn't refresh & it does not block it.

    Anyone know anything about this?
