Did anyone get that hard block from requester l2w today? The TO on them is going wild about hard blocks for no reason. I've been dwelling on it too long today but it's my first one and the email said my account could be suspended.
3 in 6 months. Then after a year they get taken off and will not count against you. Other then when it comes to getting masters.
No TO batch. Seems like there may be some interest here...

I'm having the same thing happen. even tried a second browser before I cleared out my main one, same thing happened and halted a second time.
That's apparently out of date and no longer the rule. Earlier today (or last week?) there was a link to a requester discussion thread, and the Amazon workers specifically said "yes, you should use blocks to prevent duplicate surveys." They made it clear that it was how things were supposed to work, although according to this post from last week, it's not supposed to send out a threatening email unless the reason for the block is poor performance. From Amazon's side of things, there's no such thing as "hard" or "soft" blocks - just blocks, that requesters fill in a reason for. They said they review all the blocks and the reasons behind them before suspending anybody's account. TL;DR - if you didn't get your block from L2W along with rejections, you're probably fine. Still not a bad idea to let Amazon know you're concerned about the threatening sounding email, though. I did.
About 4 mins, not very profitable but if you like food...eta TO is from a previous survey, the issue relayed there has been resolved (I got a code) Title: <No Korean participation>A short academic survey on the "Ethnic Food Ad" Requester: Donghee Kim [A1ZS6HB3TLID2K] (TO) Description: Earn $.20 for participating in a short and easy study that takes 5 minutes to complete.

I cleared cache, rebooted, and tried it again, first in FF (didn't work), tried it in chrome again and it worked.
Right but thats from 2011 and Amazon has ALWAYS given conflicting info about blocks. TL;DR There is no way to know because Amazon never discloses shit and just does whatever they want. my tldr is longer than my sentence. I fail
