Queue Weighting
I've just submitted a couple of problems, and then checked their status, one as a queue weight of 1, the other of 5, what does this mean? and who decides?
BTW great site!!!! |

Re: Queue Weighting
In order to prevent a few submitters from tying up the queue, so as to allow newcomers a better opportunity to advance their problems, the first two puzzles a given person has in the queue at a given time are given QW 1. The rest, I understand, have QW 2. I hadn't heard of QW 5. Also I don't know why both are not QW 1, unless there is a temporary queue weight assigned on the day you enter the puzzle. Are they the same today?

Re: Queue Weighting
BTW, the way the QW is supposed to help is that even though others may have many puzzles ahead of yours in the queue, only the ones with QW 1 appear in the voting queue, eligible for posting. As each one is posted or rejected, subsequent ones become QW 1 for that submitter, but again, only two can be such at a time for each submitter. |

Re: Queue Weighting
Charlie: I've just checked again, they are both QW1 now, thanks for the explanation. |
