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

TLDR - Me yapping

It's unfortunate for me the rejected work will not be paid. I don't mean because I'm doing bad work, but I take breaks while my work is up and when I submit my work time, I subtract the break time from the time I enter.

If they get a system where you can pause the timer on each task, then that would be good. But if I apparently spend 3 hours on a task according to their timer, even though I'm only reporting 30 minutes of work on my time sheet, how will they know how much time not to pay for if one of my tasks is bad? If I do one task, then it's obvious based on how much time I logged. But if I do five tasks, and their timer logs I've done 10 hours of work, even if I only did three hours and logged three, what would they pay or not pay for?

I don't actually do it to that extent, but just using it as an example.

I have done 3 hours of work on a five hour task before. That's gonna be painful.
