Its called throttling. mTurk stops people from hoarding/slamming heavily active HITs 'cause reasons (probably good-decent ones, but they don't tell us shit so :shrug: ). Just panda them in PC/MTS HC. They'll trickle in but do them from queue as quickly as possible.

Blocks on worker will throw up the "You are not qualified" message if there are HITs available but you're blocked. If the HITs aren't active it seems to revert to the "None available" message but truthfully I haven't seen super consistent behavior on it to know FOR SURE that's why it reverts :shrug:
Hmmm.... how can me clicking twice on a hit (no script involved) be related to throttling? Maybe other people are hitting it hard, you mean?

Yupp, sorry that wasn't clear but its definitely about other workers not you. When a lot of workers are trying to panda the batch (asking for HITs from it every second or less) mTurk seems to "throttle" them and only honor a small handful of requests at a time. Why? No clue tbh, since its a page request either way. But someone smarter (or at least more well paid than me) figured it was a good idea, so here we are :(

So the only way forward is for me to hit it as hard as possible ... and hope to get some... kind of adds to their problems, hehe.

thought you was gone, also have a recipe
Log in or register now. to view Spoiler content!
I tried to leave but I got a beep and came back.

This seemed like a good idea till they added all the damned leaves at the end. I get irrationally angry when people put leaves on my food. They dont' taste like anything to me and just feel weird in my mouth.

(I'm still gonna put it in my recipe folder though)

anyone know if there is a new panda for brian z?
I am wondering this as well as I have not caught any in over 24 hours. I have searched and not having anything pop up. That is what led me to your post.
