Apparently they did quality checks and did not like the work a lot of people were submitting. I've done a few hundred since they changed names and did not receive a message and i still have the qual.

Let's say a HIT drops at 5:35PM, it appears on HIT Finder, and you simply miss catching it. Let's say that HIT has a 2-hour timer too...

Your odds of catching that same HIT again, via Panda Crazy or Hit Catcher, are much higher at 7:35PM, when the HIT expires from the queues of those who caught it but didn't finish it, than the odds of catching it 1-2 minutes after you miss it on HIT Finder.

The strategy I employ is selectively turning off-and-on about 10-20 Watchers (I use HIT Finder) such that only 1 or 2 are on at a time, but I track the HIT timers and estimate when various HITs I missed are due to expire, then turn on the corresponding Watchers a few minutes before the HITs I missed expire.

Why this works so well? Some people are good at grabbing all of the HITs, and have such a full queue that they simply cannot finish all of them in time. Additionally, there are people who run auto-accepters and they'll catch HITs faster than you, but they're also sometimes AFK and their unattended computers are simply catching HITs that will ultimately expire.
Oh my I have a lot to learn! I know I've seen duration timers before but I see none when I click on details in Panda Crazy. Maybe I need to take a closer look at HIT Finder. Thank you for your help and your time to explain things to me on what works for you.

edited to add: I just found the duration info on HIT Finder thank you :)

Who are they now? My HF is set on a search for them in case the qual were to ever pop again. And you would think people would know the drill.

I don't think it is people being lazy or anything, they are just very subjective hits. I assume i just got lucky because some of the people who were chastised are good workers who have more experience than me at them.

I hate subjective hits and try to avoid them. It is really hard to do something for a long time that is approved over and over, think that you are doing it correctly and then find out that you were not. I'd rather get a refresher and be kept in the loop.

Hey, I am so tired of my kids not hearing me because they have their bluetooth ears in. Even my elderly mother, bless her heart, I can't get anyones attention at all. And mom shouts because her earphones are so loud. I thought we might all evolve to sign language as a result of technology. But I wonder if there is anything on the market, or if I could make a family bluetooth system that interupts whatever is playing in their ear to tell them something, or even give an alert that their attention is needed??????/
