    You could say a deadline of a fortnight is user-friendly, but it is not. Sometimes people detach from a project without aborting the remaining tasks. The wingmen of these tasks will have to wait for two weeks before the lost tasks will be resent.

    Unfortunately I did something like that. I had to reinstall a Linux boot stick and I did this without aborting tasks first. I didn't realise I had 5400+ of them. :|

    Really no need to have 14 days of a deadline with tasks that can be finished in 5 minutes on a modern machine.

      The credits are worthless. 1,000,000 credits is the same as 0 credits. Why does it matter if you receive 0 in 14 days or receive 0 today?
