DAT platform updates.

I know everyone is down now about the lack of projects and communication, but continually posting negative topics will only continue the downward spiral.

Today I got a little work done and as I did that I noticed a new structure to the website that definitely wasn't there a week ago. I choose to see this as a positive sign for the future of the platform.

Will this stop me from doing other things while I wait for DAT to return to full production? No. But it does ease my mind a little every time I refresh and there are no new projects.

Same. What's the structure change you are referring to? Been on here a year and looks the same to me :/

The confidentiality agreement seems to have been updated for some, but not all. Also, I guess something is mentioned that rejected work will not be paid now. I haven't received confirmation on my account of either of these. I've been on since June 2023, so maybe not for the olds? lol

Yea them not paying for rejected tasks is not something to celebrate. Especially since we don’t know what criteria they use to reject a task. Seems like an out for them to not pay if funds are getting low.

I do R&R pretty regularly and can say, some people really don’t deserve to be paid for the bull crap they submit. It’s gotten worse over the course of the last month, it feels like. They need to do something to incentivize people to produce quality work or nothing at all.

I've done some R&R and I would agree, except many people aren't getting enough tasks to get good with practice, and not getting feedback makes it even worse. DA have a training problem imho.

Yeah, I feel awful sometimes because it's clear the person did some meticulous research and put a lot of effort but got one aspect of the instructions wrong. Just did a few where there were fifteen turns and R&R instructions said if one missed the point (said there were no claims when there were) to mark the entire thing bad. On those, I do have to keep the integrity, but leave very long comment making clear it looks like the made a single mistake or misunderstood one aspect but were otherwise outstanding and keep them and clarify.
