Yeah, he's mad at the people that (supposedly) were hoarding them. Seems to be a wash, can't do them out of queue now but they were going down slower.
He just sent out an email:
"Hey Everyone,
Thank you for going through the HITs yesterday. Today, I am focused on reviewing and cleaning up results.
I may have some small batches today, but my goal is to have significantly more batches by 2/3PM EST on Thursday onward. I will keep you posted.
Thank you for support in conducting these HITs."
So yay for continuing work, boo for not much today
