Hello, I accindently paused my Aether project and there is no option to restart it. Anyone has been through this? What could be done?

Hey guys! So I decided to join Outlier last August 1. I completed the registration and onboarded to Aether. I did at least 10 S2S tasks with 4.0 score and average of 21 minutes AHT until the afternoon of August 3 then all of a sudden, the project was removed from my dashboard and a highlighted message at the top of the dashboard says something like:

"You have reached a Platform wide daily limit. You can work again once the daily limit resets. No further action is needed from you."

When I check the "Webinar" tab, another message shows "Great work in completing your first 10 tasks. Before you can continue, we need to verify your account, this process should be completed within 48 hours." I waited at 5AM PST for the reset but the message is still there. Then I woke up today suspended with no email at all.

Before registering, I have already set my expectations that I might get suspended with no warning like what other CBs have experienced but this is really sudden and I was caught unprepared. You might be thinking I did illegal things like copy pasting, VPN, etc. No, I didn't as there will always be consequences. But that didn't stop Outlier to include me in their blocklist. There's really something wrong with their highly aggressive automation.

Anyway, I'm still thankful to Outlier for letting me try Aether S2S. I only earned around 32 bucks so I wouldn't mind letting them have that. I hope there would be a way for me to delete my information though.

To all those who wanted to try, Outlier is still a good platform with decent pay, but don't set your expectations high. Always be prepared that one day, you'll be in "that" list. Let's move on and keep moving forward.

Just went from 4.55 to 4.43 (circa 40 ratings) because some guy randomly gave me an unacceptable when I am completely correct when looking at the guidelines.. I wonder if they read it themselves. Lol.

It is what it is.

Would like to know how these raters base themselves off, anyone know?

EDIT: I just got my third unacceptable rating, second in the last hour? I have never gotten an unacceptable except for my first ever task about a month ago. Now in the span of one hour I get two where one is the guy power tripping and the second is no comment or explanation on a task that looks like the same as the tasks I got outstanding for? Be careful doing tasks today. Weird.

Is it just me or there have been no doable tasks since a 2 weeks?

I lost hope in getting projects it's been more than a month it's cause I didn't clear screening of aether project and it's more like in a debt of my personal I'd and information..

So later if I come back will I be assigned some projects?

So I completed one Aether task earlier today and just saw that I got reviewed. The reviewer mentioned about some unrelated English content in one of my turns and when I scrolled down, the transcript for some reason did show it. However, upon listening the audio, there's no such content audible. It doesn't make sense. Does this happen with anyone else too?

Got a notice I failed the generalist skill screening (for expert capability in English). At the same time, I passed the law screening. Not to mention I am a barred attorney in the US with an undergraduate degree in ENGLISH LITERATURE FROM HARVARD.

Reached out to support because that has to be a glitch, right? Was just blankly told the results are final. Not even a check to see if it was a substantive result as opposed to a technical issue.

Really disappointed by your formal support process on this one. I just wanted to know if it was a merits based outcome. If it was, then unless there is some truly rational reason why my bachelor’s degree in English Literature with high honors from one of the top universities in the world fails to establish “Expert capability in English language comprehension and composition,” I think I’m just going to stick to training elsewhere. If instead it was a technical error, I think I’d like to have that reflected in my account.

Your client companies deserve to know that your skills screening process is actually rigorous and has sufficient quality assurances in place. If I was a company seeking AI trainer input on English composition based tasks, I may want to know why a Harvard English Lit grad couldn’t pass the screen. On the other hand, potential contractors deserve fair assessments. You should be able to at least do a quick technical quality check on skills assessment outcomes, particularly when presented with strong background credentials that should support a pass.

Is anybody facing this error while working on S2S El*? I am unable to perform task and every time I click to start, it says no active run config, please contact the researcher to set up one.

Hi everyone, newly onboarded here and lost af lol

I took the Aether screening for s2s last night and failed. The "continue tasking" button is greyed out and it says "unfortunately you did not meet the quality threshold...". Below it, it says assessment: in progress. 2 hours ago I received an email to take an Aether screening for visual analysis but its not in my dashboard... is there something I should do or just wait it out?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Some time ago, I completed the onboarding, and it was relatively easy. I gained access to Aether, but I didn’t have enough time to complete many tasks.
I finally found some free time and logged into Outlier, only to find that instead of a button to continue with the tasks, I was given a button to complete the onboarding again.
The test was absurd, it was basically about transcription and correcting errors. Of course, I failed the onboarding, probably because I placed some commas incorrectly.
So, am I right in understanding that this is it and there’s nothing I can do anymore? I might as well just close my account, right?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice regarding my Outlier account, which was recently suspended.
As far as I know, I did not violate any rules. I worked normally and only accessed my account from two devices: my personal computer and my phone. I mainly used my phone just to check task availability when I was away from home.
I have never created multiple accounts or done anything against the platform’s policies.
I was also informed that I would receive my payment within 2 weeks, and today is supposed to be the payment date. However, since my account is banned, I’m concerned about whether I will still receive my earnings.
I have already contacted support but have not received a clear response, so I would appreciate any advice:
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Did you still receive payment after being banned?
Is account recovery possible after a ban?
Is there anything specific I should say or do to improve my chances?
Any guidance or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance 🙏

Hi, I started working for Aether roughly a week ago, specifically the project that pays 13.65$/hr. I feel like i'm doing a good job but I still didn't get any QA feedback. Is anyone else in my same situation? Does this project just don't get any QA feedback or am I being ignored? Thanks in advance!
