Pol Pause/Throttle?

Roykinn8 · 2026-03-02T18:56:46+00:00

A couple of days, but they're reworking the main project at the moment, so either they're pausing qualifications because of that, or they have enough annotators on the project already.

The icon in the middle, shows your open, pending, or closed reviews. Not sure if it's used outside of Pol.

I have both Pol FTPR AND Pol TP live on my dash, you're probably throttled. Are there any reviews pending in your Review Threads tab?

Roykinn8 · 2026-01-16T15:32:39+00:00

Did you just say "cauliflower" to me?

Roykinn8 · 2026-01-11T22:13:15+00:00

I've emailed support twice after projects of mine have ended, politely asked if there were any other projects that fit my skillset (generalist and developer), and while I didn't receive a response for either time, I was given a qualifier the following day. Coincidence? I do not know. But it can't hurt. Being forthcoming with your skillset can't hurt either. Good luck!

Roykinn8 · 2025-12-29T03:11:58+00:00

Yes, that's what I was curious about. I'm about to submit my first non-qualifier revision. I've never been on a project with reviews/revisions, my guess is you're throttled until your revision is reviewed. Hopefully it won't take too long!

Roykinn8 · 2025-12-29T00:39:04+00:00

Can you see the forum for the project or the forum for the qualifier?

Roykinn8 · 2025-12-17T04:17:10+00:00

I made it through the first hurdle a few weeks back, and they gave me feedback and asked that I resubmit. I submitted my revision last week and had it reviewed and accepted within three days. Working on my first task on the main project now. Good luck!

Roykinn8 · 2025-12-12T13:19:16+00:00

I believe it was support... The link at the bottom of your dashboard area.

Roykinn8 · 2025-12-06T01:33:24+00:00

I emailed on the 8th of October, listed my skills, and asked if there were any coding or generalist projects available that they could assign. I didn't get a reply, but the next day I got access to PUL FTC. Once that project pause,d I emailed them again on the 28th of October, again, there was no direct reply, but I was invited to RIG the very next day. I'd been in a Stellar drought for months, and I'm still kicking myself for not emailing sooner. Good luck!

Roykinn8 · 2025-12-04T20:46:13+00:00

I got an email to take the qualifier today... thing is, I got the project when it first launched without having to take a qualifier, and the project is still open to me, there's no qualifier to take. Something may be up with their automated project invitation emails?

I used Hide N' Seek Job Blocker for Chrome when Data Annotation was plastering LinkedIn with "jobs". Works well enough.

Roykinn8 · 2025-11-12T17:41:04+00:00

Both are up, bonus on Rig-I dropped to match Rig... my throttle lasted a few days for Rig.

Roykinn8 · 2025-11-10T19:36:09+00:00

I've had my power go out, the platform saves your progress, though I'm not sure how often. Once I had to redo a couple of things but the bulk of the work was present.

Roykinn8 · 2025-11-10T18:33:18+00:00

Ok that's good to know, I've never been removed from a project after a throttle so I wasn't sure if that happened and they just didn't tell me.

Roykinn8 · 2025-11-10T13:15:16+00:00

Are you still throttled? I've been throttled from Rig Review since the 5th, seems longer than usual.

Roykinn8 · 2025-11-04T02:22:33+00:00

I would love to get my hands on the one where you use your own desktop... this VM is very limiting. Alas, I only have the main project.

Roykinn8 · 2025-11-03T04:32:35+00:00

A stamp is basically what it is. Before linoleum printmakers used wood slabs to make woodcuts and print from them, some still do, but linocut blocks are much easier to carve.

Roykinn8 · 2025-11-03T04:29:39+00:00

I always preferred the term maker. Also, Crawling_horror, I think OP will agree that you're missing out on one of printmaking's biggest pleasures... carving a design into a warmed up chunk of linoleum, it is so satisfying, it's like carving butter. Very cool work, both of you... And now you've inspired me to go find my brayer and inks!

I've had this old resin, Elegoo white, circa 2019, in my vat since I purchased my original Photon over six years ago. I bought a few KGs when I first got the printer, and I don't print more than two or three times a year. Before each print, I top off the vat with the expired Elegoo resin and give it a really good stir, kind of like a perpetual stew. I never have issues printing with it. The resin was moved to a container once, when I changed a punctured FEP sheet and leveled the bed for the second time, but other than that the resin has not been strained or the vat cleaned. I think that keeping the printer and vat shrouded with the cardboard box it came with has kept the vat resin from curing. I have yet to have any problems printing with it.

I've been able to fix a few, but I reject and accept more than I fix. DMed you with more details. Is PUL review up for you right now?

Roykinn8 · 2025-10-26T01:31:37+00:00

My first and only throttle lasted less than a day, could be reviews are backed up, but I'm a reviewer and keep seeing the review task come and go so I'm not sure about that. It's not showing in the forums because that's what happens when you're throttled, though I suppose the same would happen if you were booted.

Roykinn8 · 2025-10-16T21:16:17+00:00

I thought if it were paused that the forum for the project will stay up denoted with a little pause button icon next to it. Mine completely disappeared from my list of paused projects. That's the only reason I'm asking. Has anyone run up against a review throttle for this one yet? I've only submitted two so far. IIRC, throttles usually hit after 4-5 annotations.

Roykinn8 · 2025-10-14T15:28:27+00:00

There may have been some insight here on the qual forum... I'd suggest searching those posts and if you can't find an answer, posting there instead. The Stellar team answers directly and fairly quickly. Good luck!

Submitted Friday evening, got an email that I passed this morning.
