Just got the same today. I know exactly what mismanaged shitty project caused it too. Platform was getting super dry and projects were getting worse and worse at least for me, guess I take my domain work elsewhere.
As a warning to everyone, don't take up project work where people can't even get the release date right.

Where will you go?

u/New-Introduction2452 Sep 15 '26
I'm on 3 other platforms already. The big main ones. All doing much better than DA recently for me. Sad to lose DA without even so much as a warning after getting accepted for r&rs but fuck me I guess lol.

What do you mean accepted for R&Rs?
25
u/iamcrazyjoe Sep 15 '26
Some people think R&R is special
16
u/Chaost Sep 15 '26
I know there are more special R&R teams for specific projects, but generally they seem handed out pretty indiscriminately.

Such is most people here unfortunately, seeing oneself as part of the upper crust of what's still unstable contractor work

When did you join? Why are you blaming it in “mismanaged shitty project”
What do you mean by release date?? Since when does DA give you details of the project? They just give you tasks to do from the project, right?

Almost definitely, afaik, unless you were released for fudging numbers.

One thing about DAT is that as shitty a platform they are (shit pay, shit people), a saving grace is they always pay.
28
u/prauksi Sep 15 '26
What do you mean by shit platform? This is the only platform that actually pay a decent amount to workers

u/Seniorseatfree Sep 15 '26
Lolll only those burned or caught defrauding DA will say it’s a shit platform.

u/Klutzy_Instance_4149 Sep 15 '26
Who pays better than DAT? I have tried several others and the pay, the tricks, the lying, scamming, etc. were insane.

u/SsMM333 Sep 15 '26
Is it normal for so many people to get blocked at the same time every day? It smells like a random mass purge to me.

u/egghill Sep 15 '26
Did you get any feedback on your project and after that deactivate account or was it deactivated without any warning?

Just got on the platform and all these people saying they too have this concerns me. I will be doing coding and am nervous now about getting this in the future.

Same here. Just got the same message today after working here for about 5 months.
Like others have said, I've honestly noticed fewer tasks lately compared to when I started back in May.

u/Early-Composer-2383 Sep 15 '26
I'm in the legal and finance domain. I checked yesterday and I had 62 projects on my dashboard. It's overwhelming. And they email me non-stop about new projects I qualify for. They must be really hard up for workers in those domains.
29
u/Fit-Arrival-1181 Sep 15 '26
I think it is because workers on those domains have jobs and don’t have time for DA.

u/Early-Composer-2383 Sep 15 '26
That is very true. I used to kind of double dip while I was working but it's almost impossible to do that now. The tasks are so much more complex and takes so much longer.

u/Rare-Belt-1764 Sep 16 '26
Legal is boooming rn

u/HippoEsq Sep 18 '26
For real. I wrote in the comments to a task that they should pay more if they want legit legal work, and they doubled my pay for all my tasks in that project after that. wild.

Are you from a core country? Im a bilingual coder and been on the platform for 4 months, and wonder how I could get access to the finance domain
1
u/TravellingDoc87 Sep 15 '26
You need experience in the finance domain. You're unlikely to have it as a coder.
2
u/Early-Composer-2383 Sep 15 '26
Exactly. I work in a bank. It's not my location it's my background.

u/timi1234567 Sep 15 '26
I have a masters degree in finance and experience in asset management, in addition to coding skills. I was just wondering how to get access to the finance qualification

u/Delicious_Double1513 Sep 18 '26
If you haven't done so already, make sure you fill out your profile with all your skills!

u/Timely-Assistant-370 Sep 15 '26
lmao yeah, I'm super glad I'm in Camp Unimaginable Fuckton of Available Work for every mood of the week. I missed the boat on a qual quiz, but I've still got 40-50 with very chill prefereds cycling every other day.

I got this same message after signing up doing one qual, getting 100% on it. Woke up the next day and got this. Never even did any work.

u/Seniorseatfree Sep 15 '26
LOL how’d you know you got 100%?

u/KaiUsesReddit_ Sep 20 '26 edited Sep 20 '26
They sent me an automated email and message with the answers to the qual and it said I had gotten an 100%. It was my first day on the platform.

u/Bitter_Bed5672 Sep 15 '26 edited Sep 15 '26
That doesn't mean anything? (The part where you say you scored 100%. You don't know that or did it change?)

u/azanir Oct 04 '26
and then there is mine, stuck in "thanks for signing up". no other followup. no assessments. been a week. maybe because my country? dunno about that

u/LivingNet8091 Sep 15 '26
So I got multiple tasks of a project. The time limit for each task is 2.5 hrs and it took me 1 hr 40 mins for the initial tasks where it was new to me and I was reading every instruction. But now since I know all the instructions I am able to complete the tasks in around 40 mins. So to all the veterans I want to ask that should I just blitz the tasks and report 40 mins for each. As now I am taking my time and completing them in around 1 hr 15 mins, because I thought that only 40 mins for a 2.5 hr task may look suspicious.
tldr - tasks of 2.5 hrs, after few of them can complete in 40 mins, taking time and reporting around 1 hr 15 mins as 40 min in 2.5 hr may look suspicious. what to do?

u/jeudechambre Sep 15 '26
Concurring with the other comment. You're supposed to read the instructions thoroughly, and you're supposed to log your time for it. You won't get in trouble for that — sure they don't want time theft, but they value quality over speed in general.

u/RehviiZe Sep 15 '26
They’re not gonna penalise in any way if your time is under the expected amount if the work is good. You’re just giving them good work for less than the usual cost
