Delays in settlement
I know that your staff is still rather small. And of course nobody can be available 24 hours / day, but nevertheless I must mention that it currently ain't satisfying.
I have for example, pretty much exactly 2/3 of my cash in this question:
http://www.hubdub.com/e/Market/Will_t...
This was shut down about 6 hours ago, 3 hours ago I requested settlement with 2 links to news which clarified that the capital didn't fell and the rebels fleed instead even further away.
So my problem: I can't cash in without losing almost all of my expected win, as most of the activity on that question was caused by myself.
On the other hand I remain forced to minimum activity while I found another soon to be settled question that is ... well pretty much pure gold, with current standing at 80% and a probability of 99%.
So please, there is obviously not each day time / time zone equally covered atm. It's really disappointing if you are handicapped because most part of the staff is asleep, at work or whatever.

Inappropriate?Damn, NASDAQ offers such a great opportunity with a late turnaround and my cash is "prisoned" in MIBTEL since 4 hours :( -
Inappropriate?I was able to make +598$ ( spread over 3 bets ) with the 88 bucks I had available. Just a hint how much more I could have reached with my 20.000$ stuck elsewhere.
And the NASDAQ question was settled just within few minutes, while I had to wait hours and hours at the italian index, even as I offered all the necessary links just within few seconds.
So it's probably not like nobody from the staff is available, it's more about which questions get higher priority and which don't ?
Perhaps I should create a hubdub question. I pick 4-5 other questions and let the people guess which one of those will suffer most from the settlement delay :P
I’m one step nearer to insanity

Inappropriate?Hi guys, we recognize the current system (i.e. relying on us to settle questions) doesn't scale well and is already causing delays and frustration that we want to eliminate asap.
Our solution in the pipeline is again to empower top users that have proven their trustworthiness and ability to settle questions themselves, hence speeding up response times and allowing the site to carry a greater number and variety of questions.
There's clearly potential for much controversy here though and so we're still working how to do this best. As ever, we'll endeavour to keep everyone up to date via Get Satisfaction, and a new notice board feature we're putting live soon.
Thanks for all your comments in the meantime.

I’m excited

Inappropriate?if a user is settling questions, i hope they can't predict on those questions, and maybe not predict in that category. also, it would have to be transparent, not the honour system. it's okay for editors and admins to do it on trust. it's not worth your while to damage the image of hubdub for personal gain and glory. but other users would have to submit to scrutiny, i think, if they're settling questions.

Inappropriate?Can someone settle this soon?
(I know it's weekend ;-)

Inappropriate?Settleing most questions is just a matter of finding a major link and then using that link to settl equestion. Hubdubbers have gotten good aadding links when they requestion settlement. I would like to see the question creator have a link for a news source to be used. I don't think we have any problems people settling questions with justifiable sources. I know for me I have my hands in about 150 markets, but would be just as willing to settle against myself as for it, depending on the news, if there is any question then the question can be flagged to the next level of category editors. What we are hoping for is the ability to people to sovle questions with minimum waiting time.
I believe we should have a group that reviews all new questions before they are alive and give them thumbs up or down, if not in agreement let category editor review. You have tons of people with amazing skills on this website. All of us want it to be fair.
