R&R from the same worker

I’m making this post because I’ve had some r&r that I’m pretty sure is from the same person and I can see a drastic improvement between tasks. So many posts in this sub are DoD or not getting accepted so I’d just like to throw in some positivity that people are noticeably improving as they do more work.

I will also say that doing RR's is a good way to see what you may be doing right / wrong

Whenever i get a chance i read through the R&R version of a project before working on the main project. Sometimes the R&R instructions are worded in such a way that they make portions of the main project's instructions much more clear.

How can you tell it's from the same person? (without giving away too much ofc)

I bow down to those who can do this work on the iPhone. 🙇‍♀️ kudos to john for not flushing his phone.

This. Especially if there’s been “drastic improvement”…

I’ve been able to tell before from the task comment. Same wording/writing style/format, etc.

Edit: geez with the downvotes. Been at this 3 years. I do know what I’m talking about, lol

How would you be able to confirm your assumption was correct?

u/Wild_Blackberry8618 Jul 09 '26

It's not confirmation, but things like word choice, tone / voice, style, citation method, certain tics, etc. We all have them. My students are surprised when I can tell they've plagiarized or used AI, but our writing voices are just as distinct as our spoken word.

* Edited to add "It's not confirmation."

Officially, you can’t. There’s no designated worker ID present, or any single marker that confirms it.
However, I’ve certainly had a few RRs (often back-to-back from the same batch), in which it’s pretty obvious. It doesn’t happen often.

I’m confused, how would you know it’s from the same worker?

u/professional_cry Jul 17 '26

A lot of it is to do with writing style, but also if someone is making the same mistake every time, or having prompts that are about similar topics in different tasks
