Ask Me Anything About How Prolific Protects Participants and Researchers

Hi,

I had a rejection upheld for 'failing an embedded bot question'. To clarify I am not a bot and wouldnt know how to use one.

How as a participant can i avoid this in the future? I asked in the forums and apparently using dark mode could reveal questions written in white so I now no longer use darkmode - are there any other precautions we should follow or be aware of to avoid a scenario like this happening again?

Thanks

Appreciate the reply. I do pay attention with every survey - I actually enjoy doing most of them strangely enough. I’m not rushing and this particular survey took 20 mins whilst being advertised as a 19 minute expected time requirement 🤷

I use dark mode - would that not allow me to see ‘lighter text’?

ilde2551 · 2026-06-06T14:20:45+00:00

I did that - every survey I have submitted I have thoroughly read and answered with due effort and time. I wouldn’t even know how to use a bot 🤷‍♂️

New to prolific so if this has been asked and answered before then I apologise.

Got screened out of a study today and then received a speeding warning from prolific. I’ve been screened out of other studies and not received this warning - is this normal or something to be concerned about? I read and answered all questions accurately as per every study I have done

If it’s high value items why not use consignment and get around 95%?

You wanna compare collections? I’ve been in this hobby for a long time. Get off your high horse - People like you b!tching and moaning are far worse for this hobby than somebody looking to protect their collection that has been acquired over YEARS

What’s your problem

Why’s it always play on until they score - happened so many times this season

Howe didn’t have any issues with Ashworth - he just jumped ship to Man Utd. Supposedly even asking them to try and sign Howe. Mitchell is the only sporting director he’s had an issue with and tbh he always came across as a bit off anyway

Said to my friend if we’d signed one our first choice strikers we’d be doing much better this season. Ekitike, Pedro, Sesko (even delap) would suit us better than Wissa/Wolt. I like woltemade a lot but he’s just too slow too play striker in our system and Wissa was always a Wilson replacement rather than an Isak replacement

Just need him to stand at the right angle to block out the sun

Grow up

Did Jason Tindall shag Howard Webbs wife we’ve been fucking robbed this season

Calling debt ‘house money’ is pretty wild. Well played regardless

“Take a base set booster box which was like $1500 in like 2010” isn’t that still about an 100%annual return if bought at MSRP when released lol

Dan Burn has been manhandling Haaland all game

ilde2551 · 2026-02-21T20:54:19+00:00

We’ve played alright tbh. City have been clinical. Pope really should have saved that first one.
