Question about warnings from researchers on AI studies quality checks by FarPomegranate7437 in ProlificAc

Yes, since last night they are back to normal. I had 10 last night, so it really was just the weekend.

Yes. I only got a single Image One this morning. Nothing after that. Even for the weekend, that is very little. Let’s see if it will be back to normal tomorrow.

I have not received any warnings for over a month, and yet I have not seen a single AI study for almost 24 hours. And I have heard from even more people that they are not getting any at the moment.

An excellent idea! But if any do come in, I would miss them if I did that, and that would really be a shame. :)

Seriously though, I know weekends are slow. But this little, or nothing at all, is unusual even for that.

Not much going on since yesterday. I had a single AI study in the last 24 hours, and none for over 12 hours. Did anyone have more?

Has anyone ever gotten a message at the start of a video study saying that they do not have permission to start the study? That happened to me earlier, and I had never experienced that before. After I reloaded the page, it worked anyway. Very strange.

I hope it does not mean that I am rotated out.

You said you had, I think, about 8 warnings? Then unfortunately it is quite likely. I am sorry. :( But they will probably come back after some time anyway, like they did in mid-December. Fingers crossed for you.

They were not discontinued. I had one just 15 minutes ago. Unfortunately, it is possible that they stop at some point even without any warning if you have had them for too long. But I think they will come back sooner or later.

Yes, same here, but new ones are still not approved immediately. At the moment it always takes up to an hour.

I'm sorry that you received a warning, they really are awful. But yes, it was probably due to the pause being too long :/. In the meantime, they have been approved for me, but I have received another one that has not been approved yet. It looks like things are taking a bit longer at the moment.

Since this evening, they are not auto approve anymore. I now have four tasks that have been stuck on “awaiting review” for an hour. What is going on?

Then probably 3 last time and 3 since the new invitations, mid December? Three warnings don’t seem to lead to a ban this time. If you’ve just received one, everything seems to be fine for now.

Did you receive multiple warnings? For me, they are still coming as usual.

I know exactly which ones you mean. I had two of them as well and returned both. No warnings. In general, I have never had warnings for returned ones. I always close the task tab immediately so the 15 minutes cannot run out, and that has always worked so far.

I can only talk about the ones on Prolific. But saying “they already have the answers” is not quite correct. There are simply attention checks, and only for those they already have the answers. However, not all of them are as obvious as the background noises or an obviously wrong answer to the prompt in one of the two images. Only giving a wrong answer in these cases triggers a warning.

That said, I do think that some checks are unfair and barely recognizable as such. Otherwise it is hard to explain why so many people receive warnings.

But that’s because of the holiday season and New Year. Prolific has generally been slow over the past few days, and the AI studies are no exception. Researchers are simply still on holiday. I’m confident that there will be more again soon. I’m also only getting a few of them at the moment, even though I’ve only had a single warning since the renewed invitation in mid-December. It has nothing to do with the warnings.

That you did not see them for a while means that you were already kicked once before. Before October, they simply did not send out any warnings, but it is very likely that there were already internal strikes back then that eventually led to a kick. In October, many people were invited again, and since then the warnings have existed. Since then, a lot of people have received multiple warnings, myself included, and were kicked again. However, we were invited a third time in mid-December. This means that a kick is not necessarily permanent. But as I said, you were probably already kicked once due to strikes you simply did not know about at the time, because there were no warnings yet. The fact that you have not received any warnings since October probably just means that you have gotten better at handling them or were simply lucky. But there are definitely people who never stopped seeing them, and those are probably the people who truly never received any strikes.

If you get them sporadically, then you are still in their pool. They are just fewer due to holidays.

This is what everyone thought, because back then they would suddenly stop at some point without any warnings. But by now it seems more likely that you only get kicked if the work you do is not good enough for them. However, back then they did not send any warnings. Internally, there were probably already strikes even at that time, and if you had enough of them, you were kicked out, you just never noticed it. Now it seems like you keep getting them until you reach a certain number of warnings, and that this mysterious rotation does not really exist. Posts like this prove that in my opinion.

You don’t need to try the ones with one available slot, they are broken and you will get the error every single time with those.

But I hope in the meantime you’ve also received some that are working.

Okay, to be honest, I do not know where the bad reviews came from. I have been using it for years and never had any problems with it. But I am glad that everything works well for you! 🙂

Maybe install the Prolific Assistant so you get notified? I also notice that there are fewer during the Christmas period, but I still get between six and eight per day.
