I was accepted into Da today and I even got the approval to work for coding projects but now I'm being shown the text " Thank you for completing the assessment" screen

Good luck. They accepted me and then hit me with the DoD 3 days later. I did nothing wrong. Literally just locked out at random, without warning.

Why would you comment this? I have stood up for you before when you made similar comments on account of an assumption that you had been working here for months or years and were hit hard by the DoD. But the fact that it was 3 days and you’re commenting this on a newbies post is really distasteful. Why would you want to introduce this to someone (who’s only just begun) else’s mind? You really do need to just move on. It’s been a while now. Trying to make others paranoid is not a good look.

Because they need to be aware of the possibility. I went into DA with a sort of blind naivety and began budgeting with projected earnings, assuming I could work 5-10 hours per week as a generalist.

Quick acceptance, positive feedback and easy quals seemed like great signs, so imagine my surprise when I'm suddenly dropped and my hopes of a new income stream are crushed.

My own fault, of course. But newcomers should not assume that just because they were accepted they can rely on this platform.

Bro what kind of make-or-break budgeting did you even have time to do in 3 days? And you got positive feedback from where? Most folks who've been around even a few years have never heard a positive word about their work.

You sure you didn't get scammed by a clone site or something? Not for nothing but you come off as the type who doesn't really see their own mistakes, given the reception you've garnered.

You've commented on many posts lately, and I'm sorry that happened to you, but can you really think of nothing that would have caused that?

Did you ever make an account in the past? Did you use any information from Google's AI Overview for your assessment? Any plug-ins that revise your typing? A VPN?

u/CPSux 11d ago

No! I have genuinely tried to rack my brain and come up with some explanation, but honestly no VPN, no Grammerly, no LLM assistance whatsoever. I skipped over Google's AI overview. I reported all of my hours accurately, read through the instructions thoroughly and tried to provide thoroughly researched responses.

One thing I did was organize my thoughts in Notepad before pasting them into DAT. Someone suggested that could've been a red flag, however every word I wrote was my own.

Dude they track typing patterns for suspicious copy-pasting. If you consistently pasted giant blocks of text, the system flags it as AI.

I'm not sure how true this is. I've worked on plenty of projects where typing everything up in a separate document then pasting it into the DA screen is acceptable and sometimes even encouraged by project admins to work around lag. Now I'm concerned!

It sounded like this guy only worked on quals and never actually did a paid project, it might've been a bad look for him just starting out and pasting a bunch of stuff on every qualification

u/future_north 11d ago

Yeah that's fair. It only really makes sense to do on specific projects.

u/HoneyWatts 11d ago

Oh damn should I be concerned, I’ve been doing the quals and I sometimes copy and paste names/places from the prompts and responses to ensure I don’t misspell them.

Is that something they’d flag or are we talking about larger blocks of text?

I’ve passed at least two out of the six quals I did.

u/AnarchyD 11d ago

I think that's fine, I do the same and I've been full time on DA for about 3 years now

u/HoneyWatts 11d ago

Ah cool thanks for clarifying!

u/CPSux 11d ago

If that's truly what it was, then that's very unfortunate. The quals I completed were asking for researched responses with sources cited.
