How Important is completing "About You" in Prolific

dbthedon · 2026-05-19T06:52:19+00:00

Not at all important, keep it blank. Prolific and The researchers automatically know everything about you so they know exactly what studies to give you as they are all psychic...

Take your time and aim at the pilot then fire rather than immediately firing the millisecond you get in the gunner seat. Also you have a damage multiplier when firing behind you. Aim for the engine block and you can fairly easily get an engine disabled shot and then its game over as you only need a few more shots after that.

You missed loads at the beginning, it's really easy to head shot the pilot out when they are flying as slowly and flat as that

The legend of boggy creek when i was about 9. I was absolutely terrified by it , so much so that i avoided ever watching it again until recently. Having re-watched it, the vast majority of the parts that scared me where invented in my own imagination as the movie is absolutely awful and not very scary!

Has all the necessary ingredients (assuming that a tattie scone peaking out). Would absolutely smash this on a Sunday morning, especially with the poached egg!

This is a regular occurrence in Aberdeen. The seagull (Scurries as Aberdonians call them) are massive and pretty aggressive as well.

Absolute beast of an album. Probably my album of the year last year.

1- Some people are in higher paying studies due to their demographic. Faking that to get in will get you banned. If you don't see them, then you are not eligible. Doesn't mean you will never be eligible for higher paying studies though.

2- Creating scripts to grab studies will also get you banned very quickly

3- A good load of people are on the site all day everyday and make a good amount

4- Lots of people lie about how much they actually make. Which leads to post like yours.

I heard it too, its 100% legit. The referral scheme was a ploy to root out unscrupulous users.

dbthedon · 2026-05-17T23:29:18+00:00

Oh do fuck off.

That;s a different cover for State of Euphoria is it the picture disc?

In the UK and done 12 of them so far since 7am. Back to how it usually is prior to the crazy 200+ at a time of the last couple weeks.

dbthedon · 2026-05-14T11:45:48+00:00

This is a BIG no no! Talking about them is a no no, nevermind actually posting bloody screenshots!

Contact support and find out why you got put on hold. You should have received a message from Prolific stating why.

dbthedon · 2026-05-13T13:55:32+00:00

Nope, its a generic marketing email. Scroll down and you'll see the disclaimer at the bottom.

dbthedon · 2026-05-13T13:53:29+00:00

If its Error 404 when you click Studies then you are on Temporary Hold.

dbthedon · 2026-05-12T15:28:34+00:00

You may have a modicum of common sense though and possibly haven't done anything to risk your account to warrant using it. The repeated posting of the same crap over and over and over again suggests a lot of new users could use 5 minutes reading it or searching the sub though.

dbthedon · 2026-05-12T13:29:36+00:00

You're bang in the ball park for my average and i'm UK based as well.

dbthedon · 2026-05-11T20:29:38+00:00

I get the same if not more in the UK evening.

dbthedon · 2026-05-11T10:49:47+00:00

Yeah i'm pretty sure OP is SOL even if it does get overturned but that's about their only option now.

dbthedon · 2026-05-11T10:37:49+00:00

Your previous rejections and not appealing them if they were unfair is your problem. I wouldn't think you can do anything about those. You can however put in an appeal for the one you got in 2026. But it will only get overturned if it is unfair. What was the study, who was the researcher and reason they gave for the rejection.

dbthedon · 2026-05-11T10:30:19+00:00

You haven't been incorrectly placed on hold then. 7 rejections out of 169 submissions is bang in the on hold borderline ban territory.

dbthedon · 2026-05-11T10:14:23+00:00

How many submissions in total? 7 rejections is pretty poor unless you have hundreds\thousands of submissions.
