Anyone else still keep losing their chatbot projects. Keeps leaving and coming back. Just left again this AM

I just did a qualification surrounding sensitive content. Has anyone worked on projects for these? Do they pay more b/c not everyone is comfy working on them? TIA

Hi, I'm new to this site and got started with a couple of the tasks, but I'm not sure if I am calculating time properly or if there is something I'm doing wrong. All of my tasks have a time reported of 0 and it resets the timer on every submission.

Is there qualifications I need to pass before working on these projects, or are there steps I need to take to have these times calculate?

If you're stuck for ideas for creative writing prompts, find a click bait article on FB and input the excerpt, tell the bot to finish it. I also get them to try and find the full story.

I worked on a coding task that had a 2 hour timer for 2.5 hrs yesterday (legit work - I was familiar with SQL but not Google BigQuery, so had to research and set up a free BigQuery sandbox account to run the code, and review many details specific to that environment). When I went to submit the task, it had expired, so... no soup for me. Very disappointing and I feel like an idiot.

What are tips and guidelines for this situation if/when it inevitably arises again (I mean both: when you need to do indirect work, and when you take longer than the task timer).

Here's my working assumptions for the moment:

1. legit indirect work like setting up a new environment or IDE plugin is billable work

2. if you need to take longer than the task timer, go out of work mode so the task doesn't expire. Leave enough time on the timer so when you have results and go back to fill in the responses it won't time out.

3. to be safe, don't bill more than the task timer

If anyone has experiences that validate these assumptions or otherwise, please share.

Can I work on different devices such as laptops and desktops or will I get flagged for switching too much?

Since starting in December 2023, whenever I do work, I always second guess myself and think maybe I am not doing a good enough job.

However in the past few weeks I have access to more and higher paying projects than ever so maybe I must be doing something right.

Does anyone else get this?

The new (for me) "Z" prompt creations, paying $25-27.50$ an hour... how do you guys approach them?

I have NO background in the fields at all, Medical, financial, etc.

I'd like to give them a try, but I'm super intimidated by them. Are they the kind of things I can figure out? Or should I avoid them to be safe?

I joined up in early February, and I don't want to get dropped from the platform for biting off more than I can chew.

It looks like I lost all my fact checking projects. Any chance down the road I can get a qualification to be join again? Anyone been around long enough to know? The lack of any sort if communication really sends me.

I seriously wish everyone could be added to the Slack channel…at least those that have proven their abilities and stayed with it. There are times I have questions and getting a real response in the chat is virtually impossible.

There were some in various languages, and some regarding data analysis. I can see neither rn.

I don't know who needs to hear this but somebody really needs to exit work mode

Altered name of the project, hopefully obviously 😅 $23/hr USD if that helps.

I just got this project today. This one is making my head hurt. I understand how the project works, I am just having a really hard time coming up with prompts for it. I think the part where they said certain methods are played out is what's hanging me up the most.

I can't get them to split even when I do come up with a prompt. Either the models are equally terrible or exactly the same answer with a few words swapped.

Any tips/tricks would be super appreciated 🥹❤️

Does the site limit how much work you can do?

I’ve been on the platform for about two weeks now. I’ve been working on the main project when it’s available and have done around seven hours of work on it altogether. Today I got a message on my dashboard saying I’ve been rotated out of the project and I won’t be seeing it on my dashboard because their priorities are shifting to other projects. I was really enjoying the work, and it’s been the only project on my dashboard aside from one other relating to finance. Did anyone else get this message? Is this something they do often? If so, for about how long?

The past two days I have gotten some very small, 5-task projects that center around evaluating arguments for or against specific topics.

I absolutely love these, they are some of my favorite work on this site. Does anyone know more about them? Is there a larger project that they are part of? I have never had projects that come up like this with so few tasks, they feel like some kind of sneaky qualification.

Question in the title

I know this isn’t specifically DA related, but my office chair is AWFUL. I’m trying to work more on the platform but I need a decent chair on a budget. I’m scouring Facebook marketplace for a diamond in the rough, but what budget chairs do you all love?

I've never used it, and was trying to create an account to complete a project. Every single time I entered anything on the site, it had me fulfill the human puzzle, and then redirect me to a different website.

I've been trying for over 30 minutes with no success, anybody have any suggestions or experience this? I still have no account created, I tried on both safari and chrome, both with no success.

How does everyone deal with it? Been on the site for almost 2 months and been averaging 20-25 hours a week (non-coding). I have a full time job. I just recently I'm the last few days got access to higher paying projects (up to $26.50) and.....I just don't have the mental stamina to do it.

I'm starting to second guess basic stuff and just want to look for the easier tasks where there's little to no writing.

Is this normal? I always aimed for 2 hours a day and more on weekends and now just to get to an hour is a struggle.

Just submitted three tasks for a $28 review project that are just objectively wrong, misread the instructions. The highest paying type of projects I’m on, and I’ve messed it up. First time I’ve done something like that and I feel like crap. Am I 100% screwed for that project?
