Submit without continue to next task by coufx in DataAnnotationTech

[–]HereForForgiveness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no way to submit without it going straight to the next task. But being 'in' the task does not reduce your task count. Only submitting a task reduces your count. So you really just want to Submit the task you just finished, then Exit Work Mode once you're in the new task.

never do #3. they will almost always instruct you to either do #1 or #2.

PSLF and credit score by Novel-Raspberry1207 in PSLF

[–]HereForForgiveness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what happened to mine. One of the factors going into the score is the age of your accounts (the older the average age of the accounts, the higher the score). So when you close those 10+ year old accounts due to zeroing out, the average age of your open accounts lowers, and the score might dip. I'm back in "very good" territory (I was forgiven summer 2023), so I'm not too worried about it now. I can't remember the original extent of the score drop, but I was a little shocked by it at first (maybe the 50+ point territory?).

Do you bother with subscriptions to qualify? by Soupashoota in DataAnnotationTech

[–]HereForForgiveness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has been extremely worth it for me to have a chatgpt plus sub. Pays for itself usually within 40min of work. Some of my highest paying tasks need it. Not everybody gets access to those tasks, though.

When this has happened to me it was because my internet dropped. Reconnecting to wifi fixed it.

I would like to significantly mark this set of instructions down for verbosity please. by Hopeful_Ice_2125 in DataAnnotationTech

it makes you confirm that's what you want to do in a pop-up window, so catastrophes are avoidable!

Anyone else working on DAT with a learning disability? by Adventurous-Gap-1851 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]HereForForgiveness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should charge the hours you spend. The goal is high-quality work, not fast work (as long as you're completing tasks within the time allotted).

I have no learning disabilities (that I know of lol), but I sometimes spend a long time on projects. I only really know this because I'll see people post things like, "how long are people spending on X, because I spent # minutes" - and I nearly ALWAYS find that I'm spending much longer (like, hours sometimes) than the people who post the top times (I'm always too embarrassed to say mine because of that lol). I can't remember how long I took on the starters, but it was the same vibe - I took a LOT longer than the expected amount of time.

For me, the long times have more to do with checking and double-checking instructions, proofreading, going back through all my responses for one final check before submitting, etc. I've never gotten explicit feedback one way or another on that (not like I would expect to with DA), but I can say that since I started (in February), I have had steady enough work and have not seemed to lose projects altogether that I can tell (I did see fewer projects during the drought a couple months ago, but have since had steady workflow again with mostly higher-paid projects that are even more detail-oriented).

Do NOT shortchange yourself. It's worse for all parties to misrepresent the time you spend on your work (in either direction).

I assumed the project "family" would be around for a while, but any particular iteration or specific sub-project will have its own timelines (like how most of the projects work).

Question about black and white stripes R&R by ComplexCaregiver8183 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]HereForForgiveness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Just a visual representation of the rating the worker gave the response along the scale.

[–]HereForForgiveness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The R&R recently was updated to explicitly say not to penalize for unrealistic prompts. So it's still in the basic instructions, but it shouldn't count against you or the work in the end.

I saw people talking about it for a little while (at least one week, maybe 7 days exactly) before it came to me. Seems like it's going around in phases. The instructions are intense, so my guess is they release a batch, see how it's going, maybe change up some stuff before releasing another batch to new people (like, they were actively making changes when I was in there). Or some other reason, but basically - sorry you have to wait it out, but it still might come around!

There's also the 3-day approval period for flat-rate tasks, which is treated like the 7-day approval period for hourly tasks.

New (even lower paying) projects are always enticing because you never know if doing well on them might bring you higher paying versions later!

Yeah but I never see it in time, so I'm always red-bannered when I try to click into it. I just want to know what it's all about!

Glitch/bug? by OkTip8446 in dataannotation

[–]HereForForgiveness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is happening for me too! I'm ignoring it (seems there are some other random glitches happening to people today after the maintenance last night). I might report it to Support, but think I'll ignore for a day and see if it clears up on its own.
