# Client Reputation

## What is a client?

A client is a user who asks for a specific task to be executed by users from the crowd. This can be the creator of the dApp, but Curator also allows a multi-tier client approach, where multiple users can post tasks in a dApp.

It is up to the dApp builder to decide how this will be integrated into the application. Optionally, clients can do a final check on accepted contributions and can ask for additional reviews of a contribution when faulty acceptance is suspected.

## Reputation Scores for Clients

Clients also receive a reputation score to avoid them trying to game the system. An example of gaming the system as a client could be: rejecting issues and continuously asking for additional reviews on purpose in order to save costs.

## Rejection Loopback

Rejected issues by clients are always checked by reviewers. The outcome of these checks has an impact on the reputation score of the user as a client in the specific dApp, but it can also reflect back on the reputation score of the initial contributor and previous reviewers.
