**2018**

- [3128900-026](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-026) [mechanism/argued] -- Reputation scores clear the market on both sides: a low requester score makes workers less likely to accept that requester's offers, and a low worker score reduces the worker's likelihood of retention.
  > If requesters have a lower reputation score, workers become less likely to accept requesters' offers. In turn, low reputation scores for micro task workers result in a lower likelihood of retention for micro task work on the Semada Network.
