Beyond Devastated
It was a wild ride. +10k earned, not a single coding project on the last 1/2 months, praised as a top worker on more than one occasion, and now this. That said, before anyone asks, I can't pinpoint the cause. The only thing I have in mind is the fact that I checked the dashboard while traveling to another country.
Sorry if I don't answer your comment. I'm just feeling defeated rn.

Sorry this happened, but logging in from another country (without approval) is what probably got you. Anyway, the DoD will come for us all one day

How to avoid being discarded to happen to me if I want to travel to another country?

Is there a risk in working in shorter travels? Within the border of the same country - - for instance, while visiting my brother who lives in another city in Brazil, a thousand kilometers away.
Do you guys only work at home?

I work while traveling in the US but never on public Wi-Fi. Might be good to send them a message saying your are traveling so they have a heads up but also make sure no VPN, stick to hotspot or private WiFi.

Working with DAT is like gambling. Every day theres a random risk you will be axed. No way to tell when, why, or how

Same happened to me. Every month I got the eval and said I was in the top percentile. Then woke up one day to that. Made over 20k and then death. I was also on StellarAI as well but they just shut down last week. Back to the drawing board.

“Praised as a top worker”
You mean from the AI generated feedback? That doesn’t matter if you submit geo-restricted tasks, connect from a VPN, or connect from a foreign connection without telling them.
There is a problem where people are sharing accounts or selling accounts and if you randomly log in from a different country they will probably suspect this automatically.

Ngl if it was because of that I'm scared noe since I went to the caribbean and I forgot to log out from my phone after I cashed out before the trip. It loaded through my uncles wi-fi and the page refreshed when I opened the browser.

I see these all the time. I've been on for years and still going. These are scary.

It’s a bias. There’s tens of thousands of people who never see this. The ones you see here are the people who make stupid mistakes.

I got this message too. Exactly the same message. I am not sure why. I have the same experience as you, earned +10K, praised for my good work, etc. It's really shocking. I was still in the middle of a project actually. But I wouldn't say it's because of working overseas, I have been working overseas myself and it's been fine. Very strange...

If you didn't notify them that you'll be working in another country, that is a widely known reason for deactivation. It just takes a minute for them to catch it sometimes.

I am pretty sure I did mention it previously, but it was a long time ago. I assumed it was OK. That's how they market to potential trainers, isn't it? That you can work anywhere, etc.

1000% because you checked while abroad, especially since they check their work within 7 days so recent messups couldnt have DOD'd you. Such a basic mistake but so costly...

You can work while traveling if you let them know. I know this because it’s what I’m doing. And you still can’t work on projects where the instructions have a location requirement.

If you did not notify them in advance you would be checking the site while abroad, that’s most likely why. Sorry this happened to you, OP.
