    Does anyone know if there is a limited time that the requester has to accept or reject a hit? For example at minuteworkers.com after 7 days if they don't do anything then your work is automatically accepted. I know it's not 7 days but my question is does M-Turk have a similar rule? is so, how long do the requester's have?

    I believe that is the default also.

    Requesters can make that time shorter. If you read the source code of the HIT page, you will find a line like this:

    Code:
    <input type="hidden" name="hitAutoAppDelayInSeconds" value="864000">
    The "value" is the length of time in seconds.

    864000 / 60 seconds = 14400 minutes
    14400 minutes / 60 minutes = 240 hours
    240 hours / 24 = 10 days until the HIT autopays (or just divide by 86400 in one step).

    The requestor can pay sooner, if they wish.

    Thank You Nadiya Turker, and thank you Khalinov. I check out that source code trick, that's pretty crafty. I Looked at the source code on mirflickr-block2 and found 86400 and divided it in one step lol.

    Yes. You are right. But If the requester didn't mentioned the time limit. Then that will be 30 days.
