Is a deferral of 1 hour really necessary? We can't make it 5 or 10 minutes? | |

They put out a very limited amount of work and they want everyone to get a chance to grab some. It has always been this way. | |

I beg to differ. Although with the newer backend code it now communications differently with the client code and you may notice things more. Search the fora, there are others who have complained about the long time. | |

previously that was 15 minutes ... In the old days when they were doing testing for other projects, yes. Today this is just a fun nonsensical project, so he has it throttled just to let people have a little fun once in a while. ____________ | |

what if we lower the time limit for users who solve mechanical turks ? I like this idea. Or something similar. It might be that it's lowered just if you have done recent work on the Turk. I may not have time to code it right now, but I'm going to give it some thought and see what might work. I had set the deferral very long because there was no work. (There is meaning to the interval, in case someone cares to try to figure it out.) I set it to 1 hr to give everyone a chance when there is work, but not much of it all at once. But if the remaining crew is smaller then I may be able to lower it without raising the load on the server. ____________ -- Eric Myers "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." -- William Butler Yeats | |
