My accuracy level is 85.1% so it's not that.

However I just checked my dashboard it seems I incurred a minor flag on the task: Psychological experiment on learning causal relationships but I legitimately do not know why I have been flagged for it. Why is there no reason given? How am I supposed to know if I can dispute the flag if I don't know why it's there? I feel terribly frustrated right now. I've been a level 3 contributor for about 8 months and even if I somehow I made a mistake on the task this seems like a harsh punishment.

Everyone seems to have been flagged on that task. I have been. Hopefully it is a simple error somewhere and they will reverse it. Fingers crossed, but send a ticket disputing it anyway.

This sounds familiar, I think if you check back 1 or 2 pages on the thread it seems that almost everyone here who did it was flagged. So perhaps either an over zealous task author or an error. Definitely worth messaging them! Good luck to you. I was banned (twice) before, and one time it took six weeks for them to apologise and sort it out, all because of a task author

Really? :eek: So I should dispute it? Did you get your decision reversed? Sorry for all the questions, but thank you for the information!

System

Always dispute a flag It seems that everyone here does and they get removed (usually)

shiarafan

Thank you Katy and ElefantEd I have disputed. I just hope I get my level 2 and 3 status back soon! I worked damn hard to get them last year and to see them go without so much as a warning before hand is a real punch to the gut.

That is done automatically unfortunately. I personally think they need someone to check flags manually, but they just don't have the manpower. There aren't many employees at CF that deal with the contributor side of things sadly.

shiarafan

Yeah that sounds like a flawed system.

And I just read that Ann Kirkbride has died. This evening is not going well.

Sad news isn't it. It was only yesterday that I was saying to my husband she had been off work for months now and maybe she had an illness

shiarafan

Yeah I was wondering that myself. I was beginning to think maybe it was the heavy smoking catching up with her or something along those lines.

System

It said it was a short illness and she passed away in hospital, so sad as she wasn't even old was she.
