    I saw that CF announcement about authors being able to flag people for poor work and get levels removed.

    I can only foresee a complete disaster! Given the track record of task authors at generating absurdly wrong test questions, although this will eliminate people who aren't doing tasks properly it will also wipe out people who are just unlucky or the victims of poorly prepared tests. I hope that CF support is prepared for a tsunami of complaints, tickets and requests for reviews, because I suspect these would multiply tenfold overnight.

    How many people work hard and carefully to gain levels and then go bonkers and just try and speed through tasks once they've got to a stage where the tasks are worth it?

    There should also be a flag system for authors, from users! At the very least, any task where more than a certain percentage of workers get the test questions wrong should automatically be excluded from these new calculations.

    Completely agree, I was annoyed about seeing that as well and looks like it'll be another system that'll probably end up wrongly penalising good workers. Sure, I probably shouldn't expect much from CF, who are notorious for treating their workers like crap, but still, what are they going to do about the poor test questions made by these useless, incompetent task authors over and over again, if there's going to be a flag system for workers, there should be a flag system for poor task authors as well.

    It has temporarily gone, just refreshed my open task (Work completed) and it's changed to 28C, good old CF.

    Strange, 2 days ago it was 29c, the next day it was 42c, now its back down to 28c. Had a look at it and wasn't too sure tbh, looks like it would be too easy to miss something and get several test Qs wrong.

    It was a doddle. I did 50 ish with just two test questions flagging, I upvoted comments and they corrected my accuracy :)
