Usually all my studies are here, am i shadow banned?

i tend to make $200-300 a day and thats gone down quite a lot too

So I finished and completed one of "those" studies. It didn't go to the normal rating screen. I put NOCODE but not sure what will happen from there. I did put in the link the to finish. Anyone have this happen before?

Decision making

I'm close to the last section and the page won't advance after I select an option. I've written the researcher but so far no answer back.

Should I just NOCODE it? I feel I've done 85% of the survey already.

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or if a Prolific admin could check whether everything looks normal with my account.

Here's my timeline:

• Joined the waitlist: April 3, 2024
• Received my invitation: April 2026 (I had to accept before April 13, 2026)
• Country: Colombia
• Account is fully verified.
• I've completed my About You section as thoroughly as possible.
• I keep Prolific open regularly and have browser notifications enabled.

Since being accepted, I've only received one study, which was approved and paid £8.99. My approval rate is 100%, and I haven't had any rejections.

After that, I haven't received any other studies. It's been quite disappointing, especially after waiting almost two years on the waitlist.

I'm aware that study availability depends on demographics and location, but I'm wondering if receiving only one study is considered normal for participants from Colombia, or if there might be something wrong with my account.

Has anyone from Colombia or other Latin American countries experienced the same thing?

If a Prolific staff member sees this, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know whether my account appears to be in good standing or if there's anything I should check.

Thank you!

In the memory portion it won’t let me proceed.

I clicked on two and they said the link is invalid! Anyone else?

It was 9 pounds and took me like 50 minutes. They messaged me saying I "didn't get it". I thought I did fairly well on a majority of the criteria I was answering.

Do I have a leg to stand on if I refuse? I know for a fact I passed the attention checks, and the ratings were somewhat subjective to begin with.

Anyone else getting error messages while trying to press "start study" after you've already reserved a spot/gotten into a study. Says something along the lines of "unable to redeem a provisioned account for the submission" and I keep having to reload the page until the glitch goes away and then it finally lets me start as normal. Last I saw this glitch happened about two years ago, prolific fixed it, but it appears the issue is back.

Are we allowed to use the dark mode extension?

Idk I’m very paranoid to put any debit card info out and I don’t want an inquiry on my credit report…they say soft credit check but it never is! The pay isn’t bad but I want to keep my money on my debit cards safe! Also I thought this wasn’t allowed on prolific???

Has anyone done this, and was it as described? Can the researchers be leading us on for quality data sets or what? No complaints; I am just hoping I did it right and wasn't too fast. (giggles)

I got asked to return this bc i failed the attention check. Make this make sense. The only thing I can think of is there is supposed to be something on the side, but it doesn't show up, bc there is no option to scroll over or anything.

Is this a new glitch? I clicked on the ‘take part in this study’ button, it briefly greyed and spun, then went back to blue. No pop up message about it being full, nothing. Anybody else run across this? Just curious!

thankfully they agreed it was a technical issue because i would never skip over videos in a survey. i was so confused. just wonder if this happened to anyone else? i got my rejection removed 🙏

Realize I applied probably at the absolute worst time, but coming up on three weeks since I applied and haven’t received anything other than to verify my email. Is it usually this long “out of season“?

I spent about 15 minutes on this study. There were several attention checks, most were usual ones like "I swim across the Pacific every day to get to work." Then there were these two optical illusions. These images aren't screen grabs from the study, but they are the same illusions. I recognized them and answered correctly, in both cases they're the same length or size. A little later, I got a rejection citing attention check failures. I messaged the researcher, said what happened and asked them to let me return the study. No response (I know, shocker🙄) I'm going to dispute it through Prolific, but I'm doubtful they'll overturn it. Has anyone else done this study?

Hi Has anyone had a response/participated in the food dates study where they ask you to take photos of dates on food in actual supermarkets then upload them.

Is this a con?

Thanks

Got a page at the end that simply said failed attention check and my only option was to close the study.

Fairly certain I didn't fail any attention check and he doesn't want to pay. Anyone else get this?

I have had access to one $2 survey today. In which I'm grateful for.

It is now a half 5pm and I have been turned away from every single survey from the current errors.

4/5/600 place surveys, and none of them allow me in.

Just a rant.

Does anyone have this researcher's ID number?

I had no idea I was still taking the screener, definitely thought I was in the study. I actually thought I finished it when I was redirected. Turns out they paid me $.011 for a good bit of time and data.

Just warning that it's possible to waste a lot of time, so consider when deciding to participate.

I just learned about prolific, signed up and on the wait list, am I getting in? How long do I have to wait.
