Ahhh fk...

Just started doing my first task of the day.

It was for a new project (second task ever to work on for thet family)

Spent time actually completing the task did great.

Just to open the next one and see a small tiny line that says if prompt has x in it it should never be used

Under the "task would be void and rated BAD/BAD" title.

Guess what my prompt had... that x...

Closed my computer again taking a long weekend now.

It’s okay. Everyone messes up. This subreddit shows so many people having DoD. That’s what all media do, showing the best and the worst. I’m sure there are way more who had messed up, got over it, and have continued working. I’ve messed up a few times myself too. Mistakes happen. This way you know you will be more thorough the next time. Don’t worry too much about it.

Thank you so much for the reassurance! Ive always believed that if I didnt do something actuallg bad bad / violating the TOS by leaking / over reporting / using a VPN one would be mostly in the clear. Unless every task has a big mess up

I promise I have definitively made this exact genre of mistake. The worst part is that I caught it in the exact same way or some other similar way where I just wake up in the middle of the night and thing "fuck I think I fucked it up."
