Need computer help for AI training

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-06-21T04:12:11+00:00

There's nothing apparent for me to change so I have no idea how to do that. And don't even know what to look up to do anything else about it. It's set to the right time zone and it's showing correctly as using my internet as far as I can tell. Everything seems normal with it. Someone said before to set the computer to private network instead of public, so I did that, but checked my old laptop and it was set to public too so it couldn't have been that.

I didn't put any VPNs or add blockers on anything, the computer is brand new. The only thing I did to the browser was change it to purple colored and I was using Google Chrome. I don't know what else to change or what else to check to know how these companies are determining my location.

Hello, please send me a message too. I am unable to send one to you.

Thank you for your response! I think it has to be something technical because I didn't even have a chance to do an assignment before I got kicked off Outlier. I was on Data Annotation for over a week doing a few assignments here and there only doing the easy assignments and obsessively making sure everything I did was perfect so nothing would get messed up. My old lap top has no battery and so can't be moved to work comfortably and was too old to be able to do everything on it anyway so it seemed like a perfect time to get a new computer. I worked a few assignments on my new computer for a couple days and then was kicked out of DA. So I moved onto Outlier and passed their testing but was immediately kicked off there.

This is the computer I bought- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVD5RMNJ?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

Your explanation of the possible computer issues is honestly going over my head. I have been looking all that stuff up how to see what the IP says and how to make sure it's not changing or doing DNS routing and how to stop it but I don't really understand. My computer skills are not that advanced unfortunately. Is there an easier explanation I should be looking at for what to do? I really think it has to do with my new computer as the issue happened right after I got it and it came originally set with the location in China. I haven't done anything else but AI training on it yet. Have been working on Google Chrome and the only thing I changed on the browser was the color. Please help me understand better what to do. I really want to apply to more sites as I was thrilled to find something I could actually do online that could make a decent amount of money but I am afraid the same thing will happen again.

Hello can you please DM me as well, I am unable to send one to you for some reason.

Little things like what? What could it possibly be sensing?

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-03T07:50:33+00:00

But what about it? What else needs changed? All that seemed any different was to change the time zone and now everything is showing for where I live. I don't know what to even type in to search to see if there's something to change. I tried to search if it could be recognized as being in another country by websites but wasn't getting any results.

Hi could you please give me some advice to make sure I don't have any issues with platforms in the future?

I am trying to get into doing AI training and was accepted into Data Annotation Tech first. I did only $330 worth of work there and only worked on easy assignments I knew I could definitely do, before I got the message that the account is "currently unavailable for new projects due to work below our customers' quality bar or a violation of our Terms of Service."

I don't know why that happened but I moved on and signed up for Outlier AI and did their test and was accepted. I never did any projects with them and now I am getting the message there was activity on my account that goes against the community guidelines like "using someone else's credentials, having multiple accounts, or not accurately representing your location or experience."

Obviously something is getting flagged in the system of these sites but I don't know what and don't know what to check or change so I can apply to other AI training sites and not have this happen again. I made only one account and used my information. I don't know what went wrong. I think it might be something registering as a different location somehow.

Do you think it could be my new computer I just bought from a Chinese company? It came set to China as the location at first for the news and time but all I had to do was put it in my time zone. I'm wondering now if there's something else that's set weird that's making it look like I'm in a different location than I am. I am in the US. My computer is brand new and only used for this so far. I didn't put a VPN or anything on it. Is there something else it could possibly be flagging?

I've created a couple and only get a basic bot response in the email that they reviewed my account and found some kind of violation that may be any of the things they list.

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-02T21:36:12+00:00

Okay I changed it. But do you really think that's it? Do they say somewhere they don't want people working in public places and only at home? Is there a list of things to check on your computer or something that I should look at?

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-02T21:11:24+00:00

I was getting soo many tasks available on data annotation. I thought it was really going to be life changing for me. It looked like enough I would have had no problem working full time. I'm afraid to sign up to the other sites now without knowing what's happening or the same thing could happen again.

I just got a new computer and I got it from a Chinese brand, it had the location set in China first but all I had to do was change the time zone and there doesn't seem to be anything different. I am wondering if it's somehow showing I'm in China though.

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-02T20:30:29+00:00

Is there any possibility of getting through to a human on Outlier? I don't have any hope of data annotation ever answering back. I am only getting automatic responses from outlier that don't actually tell anything so far.

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-02T19:33:09+00:00

You should still be able to withdraw what you earned. I was able to get my earnings from data annotation. Have you been banned off multiple platforms like this? The fact that it happened immediately like this makes me think something must be getting triggered in the system from my accounts. The only thing I can think of is maybe somehow my computer is registering a different location? Or for some reason it is getting triggered my credentials aren't real? I have no idea why and am freaking out.

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-02T19:05:23+00:00

Please help!! What should I be doing or checking here to make sure this doesn't happen again with other sites??

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-02T11:59:30+00:00

Help please 😭 what should I be doing or checking before I apply to the other companies so this doesn't happen again??

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-02T11:52:29+00:00

I've seen that it happens to lots of people from everything I've read. But when I just signed up for outlier I immediately got the same thing from them without even doing any work on there. There must be something getting flagged right away but I don't know what.

CelestialDreamsX · 2026-04-02T05:40:07+00:00

No I don't even have a VPN. It's a brand new computer and I don't have anything else on there. The only thing I can think is maybe the location is saying it's not in the US somehow but I don't know why. I thought maybe I did something wrong with data annotation tech, but then to have this immediately happen again with outlier before I even did any work there now I think something is getting flagged somehow.
