What's up guys?

I've been getting a shitload of PRE's in Panda Crazy the last couple of days -- way more than usual. Anyone else?

WHen I was turking I would notice some days I would just have awful PREs, I never really found a way around it, though.

Gotcha. I was thinking there may have been some change on Amazon's side. I'll wait it out and see if it goes back to normal. Thanks guys.

PANDA THIS! easy and fun. I've noticed he posts a 6.00 and a 4.00 last several days. Grab, grab. Watch for a change in GID's sometimes. I don't know my time, but fairly quick--I did a bunch of Binders first.
Not painful at all. Very well laid out and extremely doable.

pre?

A PRES is a brief "time-out" that the MTurk server gives you for performing too many actions on the MTurk website too quickly. For example, trying to refresh the list of HITs too quickly by rapidly striking the F5 key.

In practice, this is what limits tools like Panda Crazy and MTS from being able to be run insanely fast so that you catch every HIT. Imagine if you and 10,000 other people were all running scripts that refreshed the MTurk website 100/second... Their servers would crash hard.

So PREs are sort of a protective measure for the MTurk server.
