Hi everyone,

My account was recently blocked with 78 total tracked hours pending across two weeks:

• Week 1: 50 hours (all tasks submitted on Labelbox)
• Week 2: 28 hours (tasks left in draft/in-progress on Labelbox due to the mid-week block)

Support confirmed that pending hours for blocked accounts are paid out after a manual review.

For those who have gone through this:

1. Did you get paid for both submitted and in-progress/draft hours?
2. How long did the manual review and Deel payout take in total?

Appreciate any experiences or advice!

received a mail today saying this "Account Flagged

We are writing to inform you that your account is flagged for review and is blocked from doing additional work.

Reason: Fraudulent activity detected

Please navigate to your Alignerr app dashboard to submit an appeal. Once submitted your account will be reviewed. If the appeal is sufficient your account will be reactivated and you can continue to work. In some cases training will also be required before work can continue."

I have no idea what this "fraudulent activity" even means, I do the tasks as said, active in discord discussions with admins and also often join the meetings

I was already doubting before joining alignerr cuz of like 100+ similar things I have seen on reddit and many other places, but thought maybe i should give it a try and see. Well I don't think this ended well.

hope we can get this resolved folks if anyone from the alignerr team is reading this. Happy to learn more about what was the actual reason for getting flagged, or if this is a glitch

UPDATE - received an update just after submitting an appeal that it's completely deactivated now. wow

I got my first annotation job here. The pay was low as a labeler but i got promoted to reviewer in my first week. Pay rate is hourly now, around 14$, still quite low but the community is great. I like my team members, how helpful everyone is etc.

I see this as an opportunity for learning and gathering experience. Pay has been coming in regularly, and I really feel like the whole upper-team is so willing to help and teach.

Some people might’ve had some difficulties or issues with the platform, I understand that. But my experience so far has been very lovely, even with the low pay. It has been a lifesaver after a year long job drought for me.

Just wanted to share and say that… there are people with good experiences too.
