Snapshot Serengeti Talk

Are we penalised for giving the wrong answer?

  • Nye by Nye

    Just now I had a long run of "nothing here" images and when I finally got one with a wildebeest in it - http://talk.snapshotserengeti.org/#/subjects/ASG000augq - I automatically clicked "nothing here" and "finish" again. I'm just wondering if the program perhaps recognises that I gave an obviously "wrong" answer (by comparing my answer to others', since nobody else would have tagged this image as "nothing here") and might decide that I'm deliberately trolling and start ignoring my answers.

    I realise I'm overthinking this, but I'm curious 😃 Thanks for the fun project.

    You, as a person, won't be penalized. For example, we won't start showing you nothing but grass. But if we detect someone making lots and lots of wrong (and obviously wrong) classifications, we can just ignore their answers. An occasional wrong answer (like yours) is nothing to worry about.
