    Whoever is running QC here has no clue about the prevalence of sarcasm on Twitter. Sigh.

    Yeah a few caught me because of that too, I think these should be like the music video ones with no quality control because it's so subjective

    If they know the answers already, why ask us?

    At first I thought is was majority rule. But I did a few others (not this particular one) within minutes of being posted and got the same kind of feedback. And I don't think they were "planted" kind of questions to catch the unattentive.

    CF lets their clients set up their own QC questions, so it could be some 17 yo yahoo intern we're dealing with here.
    They think they're making us "work better" by picking ambiguous questions/answers for QC, but really, it just dings thoughtful workers as "bad."

    They're trying to catch the scammers/spammers, but because the people setting up the Gold Standard questions are generally totally inexperienced, it fails miserably.

    I probably would have lasted longer if I WAS randomly clicking or rushing and not really comprehending what I was reading.

    Nope, wasn't just you...CF sucks...haha :)

    I was told certian tweets should have been negative...when clearly the person who tweeted was being sarcastic...and was told that it should have been positive when it was trying to market Uggs...UGH...I swear these people are out of their minds....

    The problem is that CF lets their clients make their own QC Gold Standard questions. And by "the client" it probably usually means "an intern". Literally a teenager, most of the time, I'm thinking.

    This is a fundamentally stupid system.

    It boots the BEST workers out faster than it boots the crappy workers out.
