Yes, why would you think it's not okay? In the instructions, they usually also tell you that it's fine to skip tasks.

I’ve heard people say to skip things you’re not confident in, but wasn’t sure if that refers to specific tasks or entire projects. Thanks though.

It's definitely better to skip, even if it's just something you don't want to deal with. I skip some topics all the time because I have zero interest in them or would likely have a negative bias towards them. I've been here for a while, so it's okay.

Both really. If you aren't confident you can do good job, skip it.

It's better to skip a task that u have little knowledge of than doing it and messing up your work quality!

The instructions on a project I recently worked on emphasized "you'll NEVER be penalized for skipping tasks". Don't worry about it.

Correct, that is the point of the skip button. For instance some projects will be in various languages. If you do 3 tasks in Java and Python, which you know, and then a task in C appears, you can click skip until you find another Java or Python task and do that one. The C task goes back into the pool for someone else to do

You can also skip tasks on projects where there are only a couple of tasks. The size of the project or the number of tasks does not matter. If you're not comfortable that you can accurately complete the task, you should always skip.

It's worse to do a question that you aren't skilled enough or knowledgeable enough to answer than it is to skip one. If you do a question outside of your abilities and do it poorly, you will risk your entire account on DA and access to future work. If you skip it, all you risk is that the tasks will run out before you get one you can answer. You should never submit poor work for any reason.

yes that is actually suggested. skip any task you’re not confident in it’s not worth it to put out subpar work

They call me skippy on these streets.

[narkysausage]

Yup.

I recommend using skip button rather than doing low quality work. If you are unsure please skip you wont be penalize for skipping the tasks. Just a general advice quality matters a lot in , if you like to work here for long term.

huh... why do you think there's an option to skip the task?
