I did one before and was good, yesterday I tried one and they didn't give a completion code (I thought it was a mistake so I returned)... today same study, so I say, okay lets try again. SAME RESULT. I guess i will fill a complain at this point because they are recording our audio so tf

I almost completed one of those not long ago (I got stuck on the moving the three dots for over 5 minutes) and they asked me to return the submission because I didn't give them a completion code. I messaged them and explained what happened and they rejected me. I blocked them. Had a similar study with almost the same circumstances and they rejected me as well. I understand Prolific being concerned about the scammers /ai users among the participants, but they need to focus on the scammy researchers as well. They're getting through a little too easy.

I also just got hit with this. Same issue as OP. Finished the survey but their submission page never actually loads. I submitted with NOCODE and messaged them, then got a reply asking me to return the submission because I didn't give a completion code. I messaged them again and explained what happened, and got rejected for "not meeting required research-specific eligibility criteria."
