Recompletion of assignments from banned users
If you or the system banned a performer and you want someone else to complete their tasks. This rule will help you do this automatically.
When to use
If you want to get “high-quality” performers' responses to each task in the given overlap and you don't mind paying more for this.
All pool tasks completed by this performer will be resent to other performers. Tasks completed by banned performers are reassigned, but tasks completed by paused performers are not.
- Don't use it if:
-
- You don't want to increase the overlap for tasks.
- You don't want the final budget for pool labeling to exceed the initial budget.
- You have incremental relabeling set up. This increases the maximum overlap value.

Examples of rules
Task: classify photos for a dataset across different categories. If a performer is banned by a quality control rule (for example, fast resposes) or no longer matches the skill, their responses aren't counted and their tasks are sent for re-completion to another performer.
- Resending tasks from a banned performer
-
If a performer is banned by a quality control rule, their tasks are sent for re-completion to another performer.
- Resending tasks if the performer doesn't meet the skill filter
-
If the performer no longer meets the requirements of the skill filter and their responses aren't taken into account, their tasks are sent for re-completion to another performer.

Troubleshooting
Calculate the skill for each pool separately. The current skill value is the value of the skill in the pool the user completed last. This option is convenient if:
The pools are intended for different groups of performers (for example, there are filters by city or country).
Pools are started one by one and you don't want to take into account the responses in the previous pools to calculate the skill in the current pool.
This calculation method is used by default when adding a quality control rule to a pool. For the control tasks block, leave the Recent values to use field empty.
Calculate skill based on all tasks in a project This option is good if the pools are small and you don't need to have skill calculated for each pool.
This option is available only for skills on control tasks. To use it, fill in the Recent values to use field in quality control rules in pools.
Overlap defines how many performers complete the same pool task.
The best overlap is an overlap that provides satisfying quality of results. For most tasks that are not reviewed, overlap from “3” to “5” is enough. If the tasks are simple, overlap of “3” is likely to be enough. For tasks that are reviewed, set overlap to “1”.
Yes. Open edit mode for the pool and set a new overlap value. You don't need to restart the pool. Updating the settings is usually fast, but if there are many tasks, it may take several minutes.
It is better to use one skill in a project. You can choose the way to calculate the skill:
Yes, of course — you can use the same skill for different projects. But most often, a skill is intended for a specific project. If the performer completes a certain task well, this doesn't mean that they will complete other ones successfully. Another disadvantage is that if you filter by skills that were set long ago, you will artificially limit the number of available performers.
To perform actions with users (assign a skill or ban them) based on the majority vote, add a relevant rule to the pool.
Don't forget to enable Keep task order in the pool parameters. Majority vote is used in the projects with preset options (radio buttons or checkboxes). This rule won't apply to the text entry or file upload fields.
You can create a task pool for all your performers and create performer skills in it. In this case, you can open your tasks only to the performers with the necessary skills. This won't affect their rating.
Even if you ban a performer from the project, this won't affect their rating either.
