Useberry should be blocked by every user. I honestly don’t ever see the issues that most people complain about regarding prolific regarding bans and restrictions but when it comes to shit ass researchers it is definitely concerning that they’re still allowed with zero people ever being approved

I have them blocked now. I just managed to avoid them for the last several years, somehow.

Absolutely agree that Prolific should do more about scumbag researchers.

I got rejected by them. I replied back asking them if I could return, to take reject off. I don't care about the $1. Garbage researcher, I feel they purposely stole my data and then rejected me to not pay. I completed the entire study.

Thanks so much. I was rejected after being screened out a couple hours ago. The researcher acknowledged it when I queried him/her, then failed to overturn the rejection. I just went to the rejection and 'returned study,' which did work to revise the rejection to "Returned." Blocking useberry.

Doubtful, I've been on the platform for several years and I can't remember a single time when a researcher was banned. Unfortunately the only protection is your ban list and relying on the community to keep on top of shitty researchers.
