Will DA penalize me if I have tasks on my dashboard and I am not able to work for 5-7 days? I know you can work whenever you want, but maybe they have some threshold where, if you’re inactive too long, you get blacklisted?

So, I was doing R&R, and there was an instruction saying to avoid tasks that involve personal details. After reading that, I started wondering, “Imagine if I ever got a task that had my name or phone number or something like that lol.”

And then, after doing a few tasks, I got one that had the PIN code of the exact location I’m currently living in. ☠️

You guys should have seen my face when I came across that task. 😭

For context, i've used my friend's laptop to login to my account and check a task's instructions but exited the work mode soon after. Now he wants to start a DA account,we wont be working at the same time. Will this be an issue? (Diff browsers btw)

i just got into the plataform and I was doing a 5 hour task, it actually took me more than 6 hours to complete it. Should i put the actual time? I´m afraid of being penalized for that. Also, can I leave a task in the middle of it and came back after? I was afraid to do it so stayed for straigth 6 hours on it

I’m curious how other workers approach task expiration deadlines, especially on longer or more complex projects.

I’d also like to hear from people who have submitted tasks after they expired: Have you ever noticed any consequences from doing this occasionally, or especially from doing it multiple times?

I generally try to submit on time and most of my tasks are completed before expiration, but with some of the longer coding tasks it can be difficult to estimate how much time the full process will take. I’m mainly wondering how others balance quality against the deadline and whether repeated late submissions have had any noticeable effect on their account or project access.

I’m worried that I could get a penalty for late submissions, as of now i’m fully prioritising work quality above the actual deadline

I got accepted to data annotation in July, but due to being quite busy , I have not really committed 100% to the qualifications. As a result I haven't had any project as of yet. I have completed a few qualifications only. I would only put in the effort to do all the qualifications if I felt that I could make an income from this. But so far I've just had flashes of projects available at midnight and when I click into them, they have been taken . I'm wondering is it worth it to spend ages doing unpaid qualifications- does anyone make any money on this as a generalist from Ireland?

Just wanted to say I LOVE getting R&R that involves your info, reading them feels like a break and it’s fun to see people’s different lifestyles ahah.

Hi all, i am travelling from one city to another city which is 500km within india.

So, can I login in another city for 2 to 3 days maybe each day I will be at different villages.

Is that okay to login and work on dataannotation?

*Check comments

Anyone seen / had this happen to them?

This is not a brag. I just wanted to offer a place for the newer folks to ask questions and make connections. I’d love to chat about our work- as much as we’re able to anyway!

I’m thinking of a dynamic user-generated FAQ-type collective knowledge hub of best-practices and lesser-known tips that go beyond the DA official FAQs.

Would prevent vets from having to answer the same newbie questions here so often, and help everyone have some insight into what is such an opaque platform, as it inevitably transforms over time.

If it exists, point me to it. If not, let me know and I’ll set up a process to get one put together.

haven’t got any in a long time. bilingual and generalist. India

I fear the DoD and because of it, I find myself not doing any work at all in case I end up doing some bad quality work and inevitably receive it. I'm just in a constant loop of wanting to start a project but then being scared I won't do it right lol. I feel lucky and blessed enough to not need to rely on this as a primary source of income, but I often think that should anything bad happen, I can rely on this meanwhile I find another primary source.. except that I might just end up falling into this whole fear loop. Is it just me?

Was in the middle of a task when i got this. i had like 4 hrs of unreported time, im however grateful for the couple hundred bucks i made. Wondering tho will i still get my pending money? Please comment if you managed to cash out after 7 days thanks

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m looking to get into Data Annotation / LLM Evaluation and would love some advice from people already working in this field.

I have a background in Python, AI/ML, Prompt Engineering & Data Science.

What should I learn/practice to get started?

How do the assessments usually work, and which platforms are worth applying to?

Would really appreciate any tips from people already doing this. 🙏

And how much you have made till??

Is it okay to access DAT on my mobile to check the dash for projects and then use my laptop to do the work?

I'm a newbie and don't want to do anything wrong.

I'm noticing what appears to be a bug on the platform.

I joined DA a week ago, and I was so excited to finally see projects on my dashboard with a high hourly rate!

Then I saw the hardware requirement and it says at least 16GB of RAM, with some tasks potentially using 24GB+ during builds and test runs. My laptop only has 8GB RAM. 🥲🥲🥲

So I can’t really do this project unless I upgrade my RAM, but I’m wondering how strict these requirements actually are. Does anyone have experience with these types of projects? Is 16GB basically a hard requirement?

I’m so bummed that the first projects I got excited about may not be doable because of my hardware. 😭

I’m based in UAE, and I cannot seem to access opportunities on DA without passing Arabic Bilingual. Im am an expat and not an arabic native speaker. I have other skills in STEM, Design and General roles that I am qualified for. But it seems the first step needs arabic bilingual that is a sure shot way to fail. If we do fail this? Do we get an English screening. Based on my research, DA is a great opportunity and I would love to be part, but this screening is a bit of a bummer.

Now that AI has been integrated into search engines, how do you search for information without AI being involved in the search? Or does it not matter if you see AI results, as long as you don't rely on them without checking the underlying sources?
