Using HIT Forker now and I'm noticing that you get panda buttons on the HITs page if none are available, just like how it works with the HIT Finder & Catcher
I do like the Panda and Once buttons a lot. Now I'm trying to figure out what to set the search delay on. I don't want to miss any hits, but if I set it to 1 hits are flying so fast I get a bit dizzy. :wacky:

Actually I use Hit catcher for panda's now and Panda Crazy for search jobs only. The search jobs seems to be on a different timer than Panda's so it doesn't cause more pre's in my testing. I use overwatch for alerting to special requesters. Hit finder I'll use when I have a bad day and I need more hits. Hit Finder is a great way to find more requesters with batches. Just let it run for a few hours per day and then check the logged hits for any interesting batches that occur every day.
Don't see you around a lot! Good to see your avatar, sir. :)

Yes that is how it works. But when the new mturk changes happened last year they change something so that panda's and searches won't interfere with each other and cause PRE's. I found this out last year around August by accident. I am sure if running too many searches at once will cause PRE's but it seems to have it's own limits now.

So if you run a search on a batch that runs all day then yes you would be correct that you'll be getting more PRE's which would defeat the purpose because it would be running panda's all the time interfering with other panda's. Now I have one Panda Crazy window on my second computer that runs only searches for stuff that comes out once or twice a day sometimes like C-sats, pinterest or ipsoft. At the same time I have Hit Catcher run on my main computer at a speed of 1000ms on a batch that runs all day. The PRE's on Panda Crazy shows 0. Hit Catcher shows less than 50 but I've been trying to catch some surverys today too. I even tested Panda Crazy running only searches at 700ms and still get no PRE's or very few.

Of course when the searches find hits than the PRE's will start causing problems and it's best to turn off Panda's at that time if you can. Many times I don't and understand I might get less.
:o

Damn thanks for the info, I thought it'd be way worse than that in practice but I've never had a reason to test it.

Workflows of Turkers are actually something someone somewhere should study (...ssssss). Not me, mind you, but y'know someone haha.

Thanks for the info :)

The TO colors on HIT Forker are different to say the least. The blue text is difficult to read on all the variations of colors.

I think most people hide the top section and just use the logged hits area since it only inserts new HITs into the table. Use the include list for batches so you don't miss them if they repost but otherwise it seems a lot of folks think the top half is too hectic to fuss with.

Forker has various color things in advanced settings IIRC

They'll reject if you're clearly not paying any attention at all, but they're generally safe. I don't believe they ever put limits on their batches.

We need a TVBot that can just dump that info whenever that question is asked.
Please work on that tonight and have it on my desk in the morning, thank you.

I've been rejected, but that was my own stupid fault for not paying attention; I don't think they reject unreasonably. I don't think they have a limit.
