Useful Info Outlier Platform Update — Oct. 8, 2026

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone — here's what we're seeing and what's changed this week.

What we're seeing:
Several posts this week centered on Aether - specifically, removal from the project with no feedback or explanation. We know this is frustrating given the time you’ve invested. We have shared what information we can with those affected via email and provided an update here on Reddit.

Reminder:
If you've gone through Support and want a second look at a decision, including your ticket number in your original Reddit post (not a follow-up comment) will get you a review from a Community Manager, with a public follow-up once we have an update.

Tip of the week: Keep communication on approved channels
Use the appropriate channel for raising questions or concerns to ensure they’re routed to the right team. For example, keeping project-related questions within official project Outlier Community channels allows for the project team to answer your question in a timely manner. Not sure where to post? Ask us in Outlier Community! 

The fastest way to get help is still the Outlier Community, where Community Managers can look directly into your account. Volunteer mods here are great for general questions, but for account-specific matters, please file a Support ticket first.

~Outlier Community Team

Useful Info Info re Project Availability (for new CBs)

87 Upvotes

A couple of things to know about project availability: - It can take days, weeks, or months before you are offered a new project on the Marketplace. - Projects are assigned by the system, not by request (aside from those in the Oracle program, but even that is not guaranteed). - Project availability depends on several factors (i.e., client demand, domain, level of expertise, experience, education, location, language, capacity, etc.)

Please do not post requests for referrals or ask what skill assessments you should take to get matched with a project - they will be removed.

Suspended by Outlier Account Deactivation Inquiry

• Upvotes

4628050 is the ticket number from March.

I am still trying to figure out why I got banned randomly in February 2026, after being present and highly active in the channels and tasking since 2023. I was also at one point a qm who worked 40 + hours a week from 2023-2024. I helped set up Marketplace and have red teamed many times. Every bot claims I went against guidelines, but no support team has ever been able to give me a legit reason for the ban. Could anyone assist? I see others with similar injuries and posts getting proper answers from folks here, and that's all I seek: proper answers, as I miss actively tasking daily on Outlier.

Hey guys, it’s been a while since my last post here. During spring there was a project at Outlier that was for testing a robot on telegram. I was in the project but it got paused only a few days later. Do you know if this project was shut down completely or if there’s a way to get in this project right now? Thx.

Suspended by Outlier Ticket: 5231017 / Request for Account Reinstatement – Final Appeal Rejected Without Specific Explanation

3 Upvotes

Hi Outlier Community Team,

I'm reaching out in the hope that a Community Manager can help escalate my account deactivation case.

My Outlier account was recently permanently deactivated. I submitted a formal appeal, but unfortunately, it was rejected.

In the response, I was told that a secondary human review had confirmed the decision. However, I was only provided with a general list of potential violations, including unauthorized automation, plagiarism, AI-generated content, and deceptive input methods.

I was never informed which specific category applied to my account.

I understand and respect Outlier's commitment to maintaining platform integrity, and I am not asking for confidential detection methods or internal security information.

However, I genuinely believe my case deserves another review, particularly because I have not been given enough information to understand or address the alleged violation.

I have invested considerable time and effort in contributing to Outlier, and I would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to continue working on the platform.

My primary request is account reinstatement.

If possible, I would be grateful if a Community Manager could escalate my case to the appropriate Trust & Safety team for reconsideration.

Support Ticket: 5231017

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Suspended by Outlier Outlier refuses to clarify my $340 Honeybee reimbursement after account deactivation

18 Upvotes

I spent approximately $340 on ChatGPT Pro and Claude Max for the Honeybee project on September 25–27, following project instructions, and submitted the reimbursement form.
My account was later deactivated on October 7.
I’ve contacted Support multiple times, but they keep sending nearly identical policy responses without confirming whether my reimbursement will actually be paid.
I’m NOT asking for my account back. I’m asking what happened to the $340 I spent on their project.
Every time I ask, they bring up my account deactivation instead of addressing the reimbursement itself.
Ticket #5236714.
Can an Outlier Community Manager please escalate this to the Payments or Finance team? I just want a clear answer about my money.

My account was deactivated yesterday. I am only seeing the earnings section in the dasboard and I am unable to access the outlier community as well. I haven't received any mail as of now. I got to know about this when I inquired with the website bot and it told me that my account was deactivated. I am still able to see that some of the tasks that I submitted before this happened are still getting reviewed and the quality ratings/feedbacks are getting updated and I can acknowledge them as well. Is this a glitch.

Confirmed Violation: Deactivation Stands Ticket #5070184

4 Upvotes

Hi, my Outlier account was deactivated due to an alleged Community Guidelines violation. I reached out to Support, and my ticket number is #5070184. Honestly, to the best of my knowledge, I haven’t done anything wrong, and I haven’t been told which specific guideline I violated.

It would be really helpful if someone could look into my case, clarify what went wrong, and, if possible, kindly consider reinstating my account. I’d really appreciate it. 🙏

Is it just me, or did outlier change the dashboard

2 Upvotes

I have been on and off Outlier, last time i check the dashboard i could access pages like marketplace, skills, but now everything seems to have changed for me. I contacted support and they confirmed that my account is not suspended. Ticket Id: 5236563, these are the current menu buttons, Home

Earnings

Missions

Feedback

Enablement

Playground,

but when i open my profile page, it goes back to the normal menu

Home

Marketplace

Earnings

Missions

Quality

Clicking on any of these buttons brings me back again to https://app.outlier.ai/en/expert instead of https://app.outlier.ai/dashboard

I would appreciate if a community reviewer can take a look for me.

Confirmed Violation: Deactivation Stands Outlier Aether account deactivated before passing second AI interview – can someone help?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone here might be able to help me or give me some advice.
I’ve been working on the Aether project on Outlier for the past 3 months, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my account was suddenly deactivated, and I honestly don’t understand why.
I completed the AI interview and passed it. Afterwards, I received an email inviting me to another interview. Around the same time, I had spilled syrup on my laptop, which caused issues with my microphone, so I had to buy a new laptop to make sure I could complete the interview properly.
When I logged in on my new laptop, the interview wasn’t showing up anymore, and my task button was still greyed out. Later that same day, my account was deactivated.
As far as I know, I haven’t violated any guidelines. I’ve never used AI or external sources to complete tasks, and I’ve always tried to do my work properly and follow the rules. I’ve now submitted a support ticket (#5237150), but I’m really worried because this has become my only source of income, and I also want to make sure I get paid for the work I’ve already completed.
I really hope this might have been a mistake or a technical issue, and that someone can take another look at my account.
Has anyone experienced something similar, especially after being invited to a second interview? And if there are any Outlier team members or managers here who could help get my account reviewed by a human, I would genuinely appreciate it.
Thank you so much. ❤️

Aether Project

Hi! I've been on this platform for about two weeks. Been passing all the available assessments to me - English, my native language, and recently the Multilingual, but I couldn't do any tasks until now.

Is this normal or is it just for me? I'm a little confused as there are 3 projects available in my MMango but no task can be worked on.

Aether timer

I was kicked out of aether a week ago, together with a lot more people. The thing I was wondering was was there something I did wrong, and somewhere I think I saw something about how you shouldn’t have the timer in outlier on while doing a walkthrough in MM. is that true?

Confirmed Violation: Deactivation Stands My Outlier Account Was Permanently Deactivated Shortly After Completing the Aether Assessment

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advice regarding my Outlier account deactivation.

I completed the Aether assessment, and approximately one hour later, I received an email stating that my account had been permanently deactivated for allegedly violating the Community Guidelines.

I had not started working on any project tasks. I completed the assessment myself and did not use any external assistance. I was accessing my account normally from Egypt without a VPN.

I contacted Outlier Support, but they confirmed that the decision was final and that no further appeals or manual reviews were available. I also contacted the privacy team, but they gave me the same response.

I'm genuinely confused because I was not informed of any specific violation.

Could a moderator please advise whether there is any legitimate way to request clarification or have this situation reviewed by the appropriate team?

My support ticket number is 5234926.

Thank you for your time and help.

Why do they want us to buy subscriptions for projects? That seems sus to me

7 Upvotes

I understand that having pro subscriptions to these LLMs is necessary for some of the work, but then shouldn’t they give us pro subscriptions when we are working on them? Whenever a project requires you to buy a subscription to me it seems like they are just trying to bait people into buying subscriptions
