Besides doing work for CrowdFlower, I also work for MicroWorkers.  While reading the MW facebook page it's like deja vu when it comes to complaints about employers:

bloody idiot employer, some of them have below average IQ

and I think to myself "I hear ya"

then I read of yet another broken task on CF where the correction goes something like this:

For the question titled "blah blah blah?" You have answered "Yes" and the correct answer is "Yes"

Proof positive that employers/TAs all come from the same special gene pool

With MicroWorkers the rejection/dissatisfied rating isn't permanent.  It'll disappear after a short while and a worker's rating will be restored.

CF has a heckuva lot of nerve giving individual TAs the power to speak for ALL TAs, and making a flag stick for life no matter how intelligence-challenged a TA may be.

And one more thing - MW didn't have a hissy fit over that remark the way CF would.  It seems that MW are well aware of what the workers have to deal with, whereas CF prefers to deny deny deny.

But hey - we did get pretty new colours on the blog.

Update:

Hold the phone!

So  "For the question titled "blah blah blah?" You have answered "Yes" and the correct answer is "Yes""  was from a CF Training Job?

Why am I not surprised.

Lemme guess

It's a Training Job to become a TA

That gene pool is bigger than I thought

It's almost scary

If a worker can be marred for life for messing up on one single task for one single TA, then the whole CF employee base should be sent packing and replaced with someone a wee bit more competent

Like a worker
