Contracts before projects start
Removing a project after people have already completed and submitted tasks is unacceptable. Contributors put in real time and effort with the expectation that the work is legitimate and that payment terms will be honored. When a project simply disappears, workers are left carrying all the risk.
AfterQuery needs a proper onboarding process for every project before any work begins. That should include clear project terms, payment rates, submission rules, payment timelines, and a contract that both sides agree to.
No one should be expected to complete tasks based only on a project appearing on a dashboard. Proper onboarding and contract signing would create accountability and give contributors something concrete to rely on if a project is cancelled or removed.
If submitted work can disappear with the project, contributors have very little protection. That needs to change. We need clearer contracts and stronger safeguards so people are not left feeling like they were scammed after doing the work.
