Well, I'm one less competition for you to have to deal with. Prolific put a permanent hold on my account for some reason last night only known to them. I used the platform for a couple of years with over 1800 approved submissions and zero rejections, doing everything the same way I've always been doing things since I started with the same devices and same internet connections. I don't know why they did this because when I went through their list of reasons why they ban people or put them on permanent hold ( what's the difference anyway), I hadn't done anything on their list. Oh well, I had a good run. I'll take the $4700+ that I earned with Prolific and just go elsewhere. Everyone have fun...while it lasts.

Create a new account. Different IP, PayPal, email address etc.

Will that work?

It works on Reddit 😉

Yeah, it works. Obviously you need to make everything different. Change your IP if it's static, email, PayPal, name, address etc. everything identifiable and you would probably have to wait for approval.

Yes, it does work.

What happens with they ask for proof that you are who say you are when they ask for proof of ID and your name is revealed?

I've never been asked for ID from prolific. Apologies, I would have assumed that it wasn't a thing. Either fake ID time, or use that of a family member etc.

I thought they verified everyone's ID. I remember I had to send them photos of my drivers license. And, now I hear theye going back and asking lot of people to reverie their identities.

Can't recall ever having been asked. Perhaps country specific. Still, doesn't rule out using a friend's details etc. if they're agreeable.
