It seems the robot should grade ungraded questions exactly in 2 weeks.

It seems the kudoZ robot does not work at all between Saturdays and Sundays. It just does not grade questions at these days.

Moreover, I remember that before the robot had checked -- on Saturdays-Sundays -- old ungraded questions (those which were not graded after 14 days) and graded them. Not now, as far as I see. For many months.

I'll find out Aug 24, 2003

Maybe the robot has been slacking on the weekends.

Rowan supplied some specific examples of ungraded questions, so I know some are getting missed. I will correct it.

Thanks.

Robots are like humans.

I could also provide specific examples if necessary. Just let me know, pls.

No surprise it's gone AWOL Aug 24, 2003

I hope you agree with me, "grading robot" sounds awful for this poor guy with so much work to do, and such an important work too! Don't you think we could come out with a nicer name for it, such as "justice maker", "the last hope of forgotten questions" or something of the like?

Mmmh, too late to be working on a Sunday Evening I guess...

Grading brought up to date Aug 25, 2003

I corrected the problem with the robot, which had caused a portion of auto-gradable answers to remain ungraded. I then ran it over the database of questions, causing about 900 questions to be retroactively graded. Questions newer than 3 weeks were not addressed.

The robot will now access the entire database each day (instead of weekly).

Thanks for the bug report. I'll think about a new name... unless you all have suggestions!
