Sorry to hear about everyone getting flagged.

Just to make people aware when you are looking for flags you have to manually check each page, as clicking the filter button doesn't filter all pages for flags, just the one you are on (making it pointless as you can see the page you're on anyway).

So if they say you have a flag it could be literally 100s of pages back.

The only thing you can do is raise a ticket on your flag and wait for a reply. They are on US time so it is about now they'll be working I imagine.

Also how can you get a bonus from a task and then flagged for the same one.

It makes no sense at all.

Its hard to tell though what the safe tasks are. I thought the PSychological experiment on causal induction was ok, if I can remember correctly all we had to do was answer some questions.

Also how can you get a bonus from a task and then flagged for the same one. Its a joke, at his rate CF won't have any workers left to do the tasks.

True.There is no sense to it at all especially if you get a bonus for a task then get flagged for it.
CF will be losing lots of workers if the flagging continues at the rate it is at the moment. Then they will have trouble getting any of the jobs completed. No one is going to carry on tasking when they keep getting flagged.
No task is going to be completely safe. All you can do is to the pick the tasks that you enjoy doing the most and hope for the best and be prepared to dispute any you do get.

I'm having a difficult time with "What Does the Sentence Tell Us?" It doesn't give me reasonable options to make questions from. Has anyone else had any success with it?

I'm another one who's been flagged and lost levels on the causal induction task. I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth doing the tasks any more - I don't do many these days as most of them seem to be a lot of work for a pittance. If I have to keep putting tickets in.....

Can I join in the "i've been flagged for the causal task" club ! Never been flagged before - hope they get it sorted soon. I couldn't even dispute it as the dispute button wouldn't let me click on it - so have had to put in a ticket.

Just purely out of interest, does anyone know of anything similar to Crowdflower? And have you been a member of it?..

If katy is around could she answer regarding what bryan said as far as level 3 taskers what i understood is that if your flagged you don't lose all levels just level 3. Does this include admin flag which mine and others are ? If it doesn't include admin flag then there is no real difference for level 3 taskers because all task authors will do is to admin flag you rather than major or minor flag you.

I'm lurking haha.

This is a copy and paste from the message:

If you are in Level 3 and receive a Flag, you just go down to Level 2. We need to have higher standards for Contributors at the highest tier.

(From Brian)



Now my tuppence:

You are not allowed an admin flag at any level. This is documented here:

Hope it helps x

Your Flag on Job 681910 was removed after a job owner or CrowdFlower Community member thoroughly reviewed your ticket.

The Flag should no longer be visible on your Job History and you may continue working on this Job if it is still running. We apologize for any inconvenience.

hope others get this too
