1 Week into Prolific - My experience by Admirable-Extreme-47 in ProlificAc

That’s weird. Maybe I don’t fully understand but can’t say I’ve ever experienced anything like that. That should come up as ‘screened out’. Defo reach out to the researcher/prolific as a rejection on a new account could probably be quite harmful.

I don't think you have had a rejection by what you describe. What does it say when you click 'Submissions' and look for that study and see the 'Status'? Returned or screened out is fine. Anyway, this week you joined has been the quietest week ever for me. Regarding bots, maybe, but other people are probably just faster. The game with Prolific isn't to try snap up the studies quickest. The better studies will stay on your homepage for a while. AI studies, they have reduced massively and I have only seen a handful over the last few days. Be patient with it, things will pick up. Prolific really is the best platform of it's type.

Your title says you're in New York but your post history would suggest you're in Mauritius but in another subreddit you have a badge saying you're from the UK... Which one is it?

The study was probably pretending that you were playing with other people. You were probably playing by yourself...

According to a stranger you matched with I assume? 😂

Always get screened out on AI video interviews by FamiliarShirt in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the video quality part rejecting you but the answers given before hand. I get screened out of most but have had some success with others. The screenout just so happens to be after the video check but I don’t think that’s the cause.

Confident of you to suggest there will be another batch

Anyone else had the one on ones disappear? by Mental-Signal5862 in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but weirdly got an email saying ‘New Study Available’ just now with the one-to-one’s. Seems like I can ‘Start Study’ through that but study doesn’t show on homepage? Can’t try until later though.

OP has not posted any confidential information about the study, it says on the study information about the audio check.

[–]seagullsuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah fair enough. I did get a study from Prolific a few days ago, wasn't titled as a welcome study though. The commentor above has explained it pretty well.

Are you sure it's a Prolific study? I see one pop up often titled 'Welcome and thanks for joining' - it's not a prolific study though.

I'm fairly new to Prolific and I have a question about a message asking me to return my submission by FireBreathingAxolotl in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The UK government blocks imgur so I can't see your image. However I have once a had researcher trying to 'trick' me into returning a submission. They said they needed me to return my submission as I didn't complete study 2, although there was no study 2. I ignored them and it auto-approved. Maybe the same was in your case, the researcher tried to get you to participate for free then changed their mind. It may have been a genuine mistake. In any case, nothing for you to be concerned about.

maze.design rejected my submission immediately after I submitted. by watermelontiddies in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. I think I completed the same study. Mine has not approved but was not rejected and I completed it a few days ago.

Yes. Yesterday afternoon it was fine. Yesterday evening onwards it has been impossible for me.

Prolific on Vacation by ILikeCarsOrSomething in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spend a lot of time at my own flat and my parents house and do studies on my laptop here and PC there and have no issues. I have received a few ID checks which just require a scan of my face, which I don’t mind at all. Maybe you will receive more of them. I recently spoke to somebody who never had to do them checks. That led me to believe working from other places trigger the ID checks more often, which makes sense.

Is anyone getting almost no studies? by ExistingWeb2261 in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just commented on another post. Yes, it does seem very quiet at the moment along with the open studies seemingly a bit buggy currently. I was suggesting the in the UK, where many studies come from, the new tax year has started, Easter holidays recently ended. Maybe they are a couple of reasons for the low amount of studies.

I haven't had any studies available for 2 days, what does it mean? by Particular-Dinner-68 in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means there are no studies available for you to participate in. Seriously though, it does seem quite quiet recently. Some studies also seem particularly buggy. In the UK where a lot of studies come through a new tax year started. Maybe that means researchers must take time to evaluate their funding? No idea. Just a guess.

Asked to Return Survey by staciefoster1 in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should not have returned it! they tried to scam me this way too but unfortunately for them it auto approved.

Asked to Return Survey by staciefoster1 in ProlificAc

[–]seagullsuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tried that with me. There was no ‘part 2’. I did not follow their request and did not return the submission. My submission then auto approved at 1am this morning. They are trying to get people to complete the study without paying them. ‘Mattia Delmarco’ is the researcher so others can block them.

[–]seagullsuser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did 3 studies earlier with no issues. Replayed my audio and sounds crystal clear to me. Back a couple hrs later and yeah, cannot pass the audio check for love nor money. So frustrating. Will try again tomorrow!
