Interesting quotes from workers who are getting fed up with CF and their ridiculous flag system:

Something has to be done for contributors to regain their status if Task Authors can just ZAP us without any review or feedback or even consequences for Task Authors.

It seems that CF will penalize Contributors quicker than Task Authors.


If a TA doesn't want you to work on their tasks, there should be some way to exclude you - other than a ban! If there is absolute solid proof that one has cheated, then that's a different story. But this is way too harsh - how do you prove that you didn't do anything wrong? Very hard to prove a negative!

I don't think that bans should last forever! Just plain wrong.


it is not fair to work and maintain a high accuracy and some idiot flags you and you lose all your progress. 

Makes you wonder what CF's angle is.  It certainly is not one of integrity and fairness.


And you know what?  I think CF is AFRAID to allow workers to give ratings to individual TAs like on mTurk because they know there would be very few with a good rating.
