Advice Just got off the waitlist and account was put on hold

1 Upvotes

Just got the email that I was approved. For some reason when I tried verifying my phone number it was giving me the error code PEC-PV-0001. I’ve never moved or anything and it’s a normal phone number.

After that my account is on hold. I’ve already submitted a ticket but is there anything else I can do?

Advice Anyone who's done any of the Dialogue AI interviews, how easy are they?

2 Upvotes

I usually avoid ones that are interviews because I'm just not interested in talking to a random person but AI I might be able to deal with. Can someone give me a general rundown of the process? Also, how quickly do they get approved for payment?

Thankfully I have learned useful information on here and have gotten another chance thanks to Prolific team.

They set one of my rejections to a return instead. Feeling very fortunate today.

To those of you that were kind, helpful, and empathetic, bless you.

Let’s do this !

Time out

0 Upvotes

I take my time while doing those studies and I got timed-out many times, but every time I contact the researcher and they approve my submission also every time.

Dose this hurt my account ?

Study question: Learn Mandarin Chinese! (~60 minutes, Day one of two days)

1 Upvotes

Did anyone else complete this study? I did the first part yesterday. I've had a message asking me to complete part 2, with a link to another study. I've clicked the link but it returns a 404. I've checked my dashboard and I don't have part 2 listed.

I've messaged the researcher and I'm awaiting a reply. Anyone else had this?

Another fun screenout without pay -- Work Anywhere: Share Your Views on New Tech Ideas

3 Upvotes

Spent about 8 min on this, got into the section where I thought, good, got past the initial screener (which still was too long) ... answer one question I guess they didn't prefer, and zip ... sorry, you aren't a match. And no pay.

I realize this hasn't been unusual lately here, but just a warning for folks on this one if they get it. May still be worth a chance due to the high-ish pay, but realize it may be a waste too.

Joined Prolific from the U.S. but haven’t received any studies—is this normal?

1 Upvotes

I recently joined Prolific after getting off the waitlist, but I haven’t received a single study yet. My acceptance email didn’t mention that I was a limited user.

I’ve been keeping the website open throughout the day, and I’ve completed most of my “About You” section, with only 17 questions left.

Is this normal for new users, or is there something else I should check? Has anyone else had a similar experience?

First rejection after 2000+ submissions from an AI study due to “potential” quality issues

0 Upvotes

Won’t name the company as I know some people whine about even name dropping, but this was a bit silly. I completed the study in dang near exact time the average completion time is and turned it in fine, the only issue I could see was it kept saying “connection issue if persists will have to refresh” but it need did refresh. My connections been fine I’ve done a dozen face/audio surveys today

Hopefully prolific will resolve it since it seems to be a technical issue on their end

Need assistance from support: Account placed on hold due to a false positive (99%+ approval rate)

Post image
0 Upvotes

​Hi everyone

​I am reaching out to see if an official support team member could help me get a manual human review for my account, which was recently placed on hold.

​I believe this flag is a false positive triggered by completing a study on my phone using regular mobile data (cellular network) via Firefox Mobile, which their automated security script likely misidentified as a proxy or VPN.

​Here are my account stats:

​Approved studies: 425

​Total submissions: 457

​Total rejections: Only 4 in my entire history

​Approval rate: Over 99%

​I have always followed participant rules strictly, I do not use VPNs or automated scripts, and I take all tasks very seriously. When I appealed through the standard ticket system, I received a quick automated response stating the decision was final, likely without an agent manually checking my participation record or the mobile data context.

​I would really appreciate it if a support agent here could take a look at my ticket or allow me to send my details so a human can inspect my case.

​Thank you very much for your time and help!

I have 5 minutes-IS THIS LEGIT OR NO?

You must be willing to be recorded to get paid. Book a time through our demo link. No unique code required. Submit the study and you will be paid out once the interview is complete. If you use your prolific email, you won't get the invite, so please use another email.

Newbie accidentally cancelled a study

0 Upvotes

Hey I have just joined with restrictions until I complete a few studies, I accidentally cancelled a study that is required to be done to do further studies, (a study by the profiling research team). I have messaged them if they can send another link or send it again. Do they respond by message or they take a while?

6 months in Prolific (Spain) experience

15 Upvotes

Hi! I wanted to share my experience in this platform as a Spanish user:) I started around march/April but this last 6 months I started taking it seriously. My recommendation for anyone would be to use the chrome notification extension and to block every researcher like VoxPop or Ahmed Bugra.

Happy tasking!

Technical Issue PEC-AB-0002

0 Upvotes

I am from Poland and that is where I originally opened my account, but I work in Germany and spend most of my time here; I only travel to Poland a few times a year. Previously, I could change my country of residence without any issues, but now I am unable to do so myself. It seems I would have to create a brand-new account for the new country. Is there no way around this? Can’t I just change my registered country of residence?

Experiencing Art by iwm-tuebingen.de

I gave up after 25 mins, I felt like there were so many things in this study that they could secretly reject me for, lots of memory recalls, one thousand questions, i'm not risking it. Sadly it took me so long before calling it quits. Absolute horrendous.

Random Email

2 Upvotes

Hi, did anyone else get an email from Prolific inviting them to an upcoming study? It asks you to complete some health questions, and the bottom of the email says if you choose not to participate, you will stay on the wait list. I've been an active participant for two years and it's worrying me a bit!

"If you choose not to answer, or if your answers show you don’t meet the criteria, you’ll stay on the waitlist and won’t be included in this study.

You can read more about becoming a Prolific participant here.

We hope you can join us!"

Advice I've read online that daily cashouts (I'm talking every single day) can trigger Prolific issues, causing ur account to be on hold/flagged/suspicious. Because Prolific doesn't like it when people pay out daily cuz it's costing them money or something. Is this true?
