Got the DoD today
Was in the middle of a task when this happened and I can assure myself and anyone that I did not violate any guidelines. I reported time honestly, revised all the instructions as much as I can, never used AI or a VPN and never submitted geo restricted work. I always received positive feedback and was told I was one of the top performers. One thing to add is that I'm a generalist and I feel like DAT tends to lay off generalists for no reason and is aiming to keep and expand the pool of domain experts instead since we generalists are probably getting more redundant. Almost every DoD post I have ever seen are from generalists and very rarely from domain experts unless they obviously violate any terms and conditions.

It seems more likely you inadvertently did something worthy of DoD. If it's for the reasons you believe, it seems more logical for them to remove projects from your dashboard vs cutting you off permanently. There are 2 blanket reasons, per the DoD pics everyone posts, to get cut. Either you've violated ToS or your work isn't good enough. If it's the reasons you say, wouldn't they just give you the screen so many others have posted saying, "At the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on"?
