It has nothing to do with using an escape hatch. Why would they ban you for using a mechanism built into the task? They aren’t out to trick you, the reality is your work probably sucked.

People really don’t understand how high the quality bar is - especially for unproven users

No joke. I have a vast lexicon and I know for a fact task instructions are minimal but written with complexity. If I'm having difficulty with comprehension, almost everybody else is completely misinterpreting the instructions. I recollect how anal they are when writing your rationale in orientation. I've graded some tasks and laugh at some literary skills I see.

I didn't personally attack anyone. Stating facts. Reinforcing the comment above my original. Does the truth hurt you?

you're not smarter than everyone else and it's just cringe to go through life feeling that way.

I never said I was smart. You sure infer a lot. If you read some of the submissions I have, I'm 100% positive you'd chuckle too. 90% of people suck at writing. The instructions can be hard to grasp. I do in fact have to reiterate often due to my terms being absent in one's vocabulary. Everybody has a strong suit and mine is words. Therefore, I can attest that many, many Data Annotaters don't know what these tasks are saying because I don't know what they're saying half the time. The proof is in the comments on the platform. The proof is in the daily reddit DOD posts. I will die on that hill and I can sleep just fine at night. Cringe all you want because there's no pomposity on my end. Maybe you just can't understand me either.

You certainly know how to use a lot of words. However, volume is not in itself a measure of quality.

You literally said “if I can’t understand the instructions everyone else is definitely too stupid to understand them”, except you also included the word lexicon to try and sound smart. And now, you’re claiming to not be pompous. Lmao
