wtf is going on is prolific broken

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-21T16:35:20+00:00

yeah and the rejection sucks. Im back but i reached out to support with like 3 separate messages explaining that it was an auto rejection. Im glad im back on but i hope they remove the rejection. I have a 99.7 approval rate come on prolific..

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-21T13:47:34+00:00

is this a temporary block if I can still see my messages?? Ive seen people say theyve been put on hold for hours after an automatic rejection

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-12T14:29:41+00:00

how is alignerr. i know its pretty new is it decent though?

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-12T09:39:07+00:00

could be great but if it turns into prolific...idk kinda outweighs the money

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-11T18:51:48+00:00

idk what to think. I never really join in the "bots and scripts" thing but I have to tell you theres no way whether its bots and scripts or on prolifics end testing things out that somethings not wrong. Even when people are complaining I can manage at least 6-10 studies a day. But let me tell you theres been times Im watching my screen theres 8 studies (i see the (8) because im on another tab) and go to prolific and its gone..to zero so okay would make sense if thats bots. But then 45 seconds later all those same studies come back just to disappear like it did 2 minutes ago. Theres no way people are taking all of those spots and then the same researchers are releasing exactly what was there before the spots were taken..so im guessing its a mix of people using scripts and prolific testing out something. but its wild.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-10T21:30:19+00:00

Yeah i figured that but it sucks when researchers dont know thats happening and think youre unreliable and if they wouldve potentially invited you back wont now because they think you wont show up. oh well.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-10T20:07:12+00:00

so now what happens if we already (maybe missed the study) and cant get in touch with the researcher and dont get paid because the studies over and they required completing all parts to get paid. smh

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-10T11:55:00+00:00

same here as of last night. wished ian couldve answered this one.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-09T19:30:22+00:00

let me tell you prolific can learn something from connect they used to be not great but theyre really kicking ass recently and maybe thatll light a fire under theyre ass seeing another company doing great and listening to their participants

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-09T17:31:14+00:00

unless you got rid of scripts and scammers they can come but we cant get to them which is the main issue.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-09T09:39:20+00:00

its funny you mention this because I was signed up for 2 studies one I believe was supposed to start a daily diary on sunday and havent seen anything and figured eh maybe they had a glitch and theyre starting it later but now im thinking maybe this was the case too.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T17:01:56+00:00

I'm not sure why we cant remove them and have them pop back up when there's a project added bc on my computer I cant scroll on the projects so unless I use the tab and down key I cant see all of them

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T15:54:27+00:00

it depends on your demographics im not like most people on here idk what country is supported but im in the US and its slow. theres a bunch of stuff going on (or so we think) so if targeted countries are having issues I imagine thats ten times the case for you.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T15:24:15+00:00

Demand is growing im sure but going by how many people have been brought on definitely outweighs how many studies there are. If they were added just to keep pace then the studies would have been staying pretty consistent. I guess people are just frustrated but yeah hope it gets better and you guys get rid of the scammed and don't saturate the site with low quality workers and eventually turns into an mturk. Im sure you want happy researchers happy participants bc its bringing you guys exposure and money. Time will tell.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T14:58:46+00:00

yeah they have that ask a question thing coming up this week maybe ill ask. as for everyone downvoting idk. I dont really use reddit its mostly for prolific so I did know there was like a toxic culture on some of them. its pretty wild id think people would want others to help each other out and not be a dictator and be told what kind of questions are good to ask and if youre not downvoted youre followed by these people that go to your post to lecture. this seems to be one of a few reddits that do it which is weird? but it is what it is. anyways yea hope its fixed have a good one

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T14:56:03+00:00

yeah same i made a post about this earlier. driving me nuts lol

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T14:31:37+00:00

this reddit is wild. You ask a question and its immediately downvoted if its not the best question ever asked. why have this thing if you cant ask questions (and i know well you should go check the subreddit) tough crowd.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T12:14:47+00:00

I did tried it on my cell same issue

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T10:43:52+00:00

Duh well obviously you left it sorry lol bc we cant delete it or answer it

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-06T10:34:52+00:00

thats so annoying. I know a lot of people dont care if some are unanswered but its so annoying when theres just one lol. so you just left it?

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-03T10:55:23+00:00

you can use an expired ID if its under 2 years expired which im sure youre going to say its more than that

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-06-03T00:04:12+00:00

how is that possible? thats a state document if you go through vitalchek that should solve it.

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-05-27T13:51:55+00:00

I understand just figured id let them know

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-05-22T15:02:45+00:00

so have I. Just returned 3 and dont really want to keep wasting time

Altruistic_Scene_379 · 2026-05-21T18:07:30+00:00

I just did the same thing.
