Managing Your Reputation

Data quality is the heartbeat of MobLab Research. Because we value high-quality insights, we are updating how we distribute studies. We are rolling out the Account Reputation to prioritize participants who help us maintain our standards. If you hold "High" status, you will be first in line for new earning opportunities. Your Account Reputation is the key to unlocking study opportunities.

Account Reputation

Your overall standing is summarized by your Account Reputation, which determines your access level to new studies:

  • High (Outstanding): You have priority access to new study invitations. Keep up the great work!
  • Medium (Reliable): You have standard access to studies. Maintain your badges and approval rates to ensure a stable flow of invitations.
  • Low (Restricted): Your access to studies is currently restricted. You need to address missing badges or low approval rates to regain full access.

Core Badges

Your reputation is built on three core pillars.

Badge What it Measures How to Lose It How to Restore It
Verified Human No AI usage Using AI tools like ChatGPT 10 consecutive submissions without AI flags
High Focus Attention to detail Failing attention checks 10 consecutive submissions without low focus flags
Punctuality Pro Reliability for live sessions No-show for a reserved live study 10 consecutive on-time submissions

Approval Rate Metrics

In addition to badges, we track your history of approved work. Maintaining high approval rates ensures your account remains in good standing.

Metric What it Measures How to Maintain It
Recent Approval Your approval rate over your last 10 submissions. Submit error-free work in your next few studies to quickly recover.
Lifetime Approval Your overall approval rate across your entire history. Consistently maintain high quality over the long term.

Restoring Your Reputation

Our system is built to help you succeed. It is highly weighted toward your most recent 10 submissions, allowing for quick recovery from mistakes.

If your status drops, simply focus on providing excellent work in your next few studies. As you complete 10 consecutive valid submissions, old negative flags are cleared, badges are restored, and your Invitation Status will rise back to High.

Tips for Maintaining a Strong Reputation

We value participants who take your contributions seriously. By consistently providing high-quality work, you help researchers gather meaningful data while securing your own access to future earning opportunities.

To ensure success:

  • Read Instructions Carefully: Take your time to understand the task before starting. Rushing often leads to missed attention checks.
  • Be Authentic: Your unique human perspective is what researchers are paying for. Never use AI or copy answers.
  • Communicate Issues: If you face a technical problem, reach out to support instead of submitting incomplete work.

By following these simple guidelines, you will naturally maintain your account status and keep your study queue full.
