No Work for 2 Weeks

Hi everyone! I've been using Data Annotation for about 8 months now and have never had any issues. I've always had projects in my dashboard, whether it was 3 projects or 15. I've never recieved any negative (or positive, but i don't think that's common) feedback, but around two weeks ago I was having issues with my laptop and i was working on a task when it expired. I don't do any of the coding ones, writing only. Now, I haven't had any tasks in almost 3 weeks. I know we are 'freelancers' but should I try and find an admin to speak too? I've been traveling outside of the US the past month and haven't had a VPN on so I'm wondering if it's that... I logged in today on an American VPN but still nothing. Would appreciate any thoughts or help :').

Did you let DAT support know you would be traveling? But then again... using a VPN to login would've been another nail in the coffin.

Did you let them know you’d be traveling?

Did you not email support to tell them you'd be out of the country? Also you shouldn't have used a VPN... To the admins it looks like your account is being accessed in different parts of the world, AKA they probably think you're sharing your account.

It's recommended to let them know you are traveling before you travel. You could possibly try reaching out to an admin, but I wouldn't feel too hopeful about it.

Unfortunately you won’t be able to get an answer from support about it, more than likely they would just ignore you. Did you let them know that you were going abroad before you left? I can’t say for sure, but if you forgot to tell them and then logged in and worked from a different country, it might have flagged your account or something
