It’s that time of year again when they wish us Happy Holidays, and then fire people. For some added fun this year, a select few were offered 40 hours, but still wound up with periods of NTA. If you happen to be one of the people who emailed them to complain, you got this email response which was so typically unhelpful.

And every rater got this email to remind us that there's nothing wrong with our accounts, we should have access to tasks, and we needn't worry about NTA looming. If you believed this, then please watch this video.

And Factuality raters learned an important lesson about how to decide on a rating. All you needed to do was take the "Spot the Difference" quiz and finish in 10 minutes, and poof, you're no longer a Rotten Rater. This quiz had a due date of Christmas Eve, of course. And if you asked your fellow raters for help, you learned that they cared more about their standing with TI than being helpful. "You can easily find the answers if you search, that is your job."

This quiz consisted of 6 images, where we had to spot the differences or similarities between two "like" images. Several of these images had more than 10 differences to find. For the second part of the quiz, we suffered through four extremely subjective questions. So if you're not the perfect rater after having taken this quiz, there truly is no help for you, in'nit? The average score on this quiz was around 6/10.
Train Rat
User Query: [paris attractions]
Target Sentence: The Eiffel Tower is a pyramid-shaped building, now home to Europe's largest train museum.
