10/22 - Slamming Sunday!

What I'm saying is that now they might have the software set up to punish you by greater and greater amounts the more PREs you generate.

 

If that was the case we would see at least one person reporting having done a ton of CIs without any issues.

 

I don't follow your reasoning.

 

Mine were throttled from the get go before turning on pandas and I haven't done any HITs at all today before these - so if that were the case, it would be from historical excessive PREs

 

That's what I was getting at.

 

I doubt it, but I suppose ya never know. Anyone new to mTurk here doing them?

 

Yeah exactly if that was the case we would have some rando newbie being like "I'm not having any issues"

 

How many rando newbies on TurkerHub at 1am eastern?

 

What about someone who hasn't done any work on mturk in about 3 years before the last week? I was getting throttled as well.

 

The batch has been up for awhile and ana had her brother work on them. He had throttling issues as well.

 

Gotcha.

 

I seem to be catching 1 for about every 5 requests.

 

Would they be that underhanded where they'd slow us all down because people are using stuff they've now made against the ToS? I don't know how Mturk usually operates.

 

Bad math, more like 1 for every 6.

 

10pm West Coast Amazon Time.

 

Honestly I could totally see them doing that.

 

I'm gonna try slowing my cycler and see what happens.
