I suspect the flags will be generated if the task author reports that you are rushing through, or deliberately not trying - like the image keyword task, where in the second stage on reviewing the words, quite a few were just random keystrokes. I hope that we won't get a flag just for getting test questions wrong, or misunderstanding a task so you get a lot of questions wrong.

I would also hope that there would be a delay in between getting a flag and the penalty being imposed to give you a chance to defend yourself. But I wouldn't bet on it. Also, if the flags last indefinitely, does that mean that someone getting a minor flag would never ever be able to regain level 2 or 3 again? Seems unduly harsh, and likely to lose them all their best workers over time.

Well yes, I was wondering what sort of things we could be flagged for. I think you may be right for that keywords task, people were trying all sorts of methods just to get through the task if they couldn't think of suitable keywords. So I'd imagine if someone persisted in putting in random answers, they'd be flagged. Though at the same time, I don't know what they expected us to do for some of them, cause for the occasional image with very little in it that already had 25 keywords done, it could be near impossible to come up with anything, and of course they provide no guidance on what to do if you can't come up with any more for any given image.

But like you say, it would be ridiculously harsh if workers were flagged because they misunderstood a task and got a few test qs wrong in quiz mode, cause while the majority of tasks are straightforward enough, there's always the odd one where I'm not quite sure what they want from me and the sort of answers they want, and of course you can't always rely on them to provide sufficient instructions either.

And I'd assume (or maybe hope!) that if you did receive a minor flag, then that wouldn't be it for you indefinitely, I think the best course of action would just to be to restrict that worker's access from level 2 and 3 tasks for a period of time, cause it would be crazy to ban them forever on one minor flag. Though I may be wrong.

Well if anything, it's going to put people like me off attempting a new task in case of being rubbish at it and getting too low an accuracy and surely they want more people to attempt more tasks?

Yeah, if there's a task I'm not sure of, I will be staying away from it under these rules.

I see CF are really cracking down on poor task workers, on one of the tag images task there's a CF message at the start -

Dear Contributor,
You must select all the appropriate tags to get the test questions correct.

Many of you are only picking one tag. For example, when it is a picture of a city at night, you only pick built environment and NOT nighttime. Please pick both!
* Tags most forgotten are nighttime, snow, and sunset/sunrise.*

So, please be careful and diligent while answering. If deviant behavior is found, action *will* be taken.

Thanks a lot for your help and Good Luck!

Note the last line, I'm not sure what 'deviant behaviour' could be on this particular task, you either get it right, or you don't and its not one of those ones where you could cheat or anything, but you can really tell at the moment that they're getting stricter with the tasks.

System

That message, or one basically identical to that, has been on that job for as long as I can remember.

Not that I've tasked for a week or so anyway :rotfl: really can't be arsed with CF now.
