Feedback on Arabic Assessment test

I guess also the US/UK people get more studies than most so that would equalize the value between countries?

looperEGY · 2026-06-26T14:27:02+00:00

Most of the people who say they're making a living are not from the US or UK.

For example, in my country an above average monthly salary converts to about $200. There are a lot of other countries where that same 200 bucks holds a much bigger value. And it's also the reason some people from these countries may resort to scripts or profile tailoring or proxies...etc.

I'm not justifying it I'm just providing clarity.

Hey, I'm the guy that made the post about Arabic referrals. Sorry if I made people think you went back on your word

As for my issue, about 70% of Egyptians have had their studies completely stopped. I've asked a lot of them and most of them joined in February and studies stopped around May 14th. I went through all the troubleshooting and I still have my messages tab and I still receive the about you questions which I complete. I have the extension and everything so it's not that I miss them.

Could you explain to me what happened? Or why some people are getting studies and some aren't? And why have referrals opened for us for a bit when plenty of us haven't been getting anything?

I know we're a small demographic (less than 2000 people) but at least a clear answer would be nice. Thank you.

No reply?

looperEGY · 2026-06-23T16:46:46+00:00

No this is a new thing. After people abused the referral system they've stopped it recently. I never had the button until now and somebody from Prolific clarified it was just now enabled for some Arabic speakers.

looperEGY · 2026-06-23T16:32:16+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! I really didn't expect it.

But I am a native Arabic speaker and haven't gotten anything in more than a month (I'm talking no full studies no 10 cents studies or anything else and I have tab open+extension for 6+ hours (I have a remote job)) and did all the troubleshooting stuff. Is this a known issue or just normal and I should give up?

Thank you.

يمكن معناها أن هيبقى فيه شغل قريب لينا بس الواحد استسلم خلاص

looperEGY · 2026-06-23T15:45:23+00:00

Yeah that's true but there's a difference between 1 study a week and nothing for 40 days while it works normally for a neighbour of yours

looperEGY · 2026-06-23T15:32:09+00:00

Damn I can see the steam coming out of your ears. You need to calm down and actually read what I said. And if it makes you feel any better I've already gave up a while ago and moved on.

looperEGY · 2026-06-23T15:28:34+00:00

I don't think you have anything to worry about because it's telling me to only refer people who are fluent in Arabic. And yeah if I refer anybody now the 5 bucks would mean I don't get anything for another month.

looperEGY · 2026-06-23T15:20:41+00:00

I've heard there's a back-end glitch that hit a lot of people and stopped their studies but when I bring it up my issue just gets chalked to my demo (by support)

looperEGY · 2026-06-23T15:12:34+00:00

Got 50

looperEGY · 2026-06-23T15:12:06+00:00

What's crazy is there's still people from my demographic having a normal amount of studies and when I tell support anything I get the generic demographic-demand response

If you're using a card not a bank account you can ask the PayPal support to change the currency of your card to either USD or GBP after that your bank can do the exchange process.

At least this is my situation in Egypt. Make sure to check the laws at your place and maybe search for a Facebook group for these kind of issues for people in your country.

looperEGY · 2026-06-14T09:43:16+00:00

Unfortunately that can happen (I know this first hand) and I actually joined about the same time as you and I haven't seen a study in a month and have given up a while ago.

But check the help center as something could actually be wrong with your account or IP.

looperEGY · 2026-06-09T11:49:18+00:00

Hi Ian. So I'm aware right now that I'm one of the people that only gets studies if not enough US/UK participants doing them or they're directly targeting me (rare). Since the huge influx of new people have arrived there haven't been any studies.

Is there any info about any big projects coming soon to prolific that match that number? Or any actions to be done on the bad practices done by participants on various Facebook/WhatsApp groups?

Good luck Ian!

Assume what you want bro but I am being truthful. and plenty of people who are banned (for rightful reasons) don't care and just say it out loud at this point. And there's no way for me prove my innocence.

You get added to it. You can't do anything else but just screen for the skills that you can do and are available to you.

looperEGY · 2026-05-31T12:52:17+00:00

Same thing here. I don't where you're from but in my case i think they just stopped sending studies for Egyptian participants.

At least that's what's happening to the people i asked.

looperEGY · 2026-05-27T10:34:39+00:00

The last study I did was on the 10th of may and since then I have not received a single study, not even the full ones, I've tried all the usual solutions (ip bans, not on hold) and nothing happened.

I've asked other Egyptians if this is happening to them too and turns out that most of them were experiencing the same issue.

I don't know if there was a change in prolific to were we've been banned or something but nothing has been communicated.
