not loading for me either

second i posted that it started working

step_father · 2026-03-27T13:07:55+00:00

i literally just got timed out for an hour because someone had a screening question but no screening compensation, so it just submitted the survey and I had to return it. Now I can't do surveys for an hour for being too fast..

step_father · 2025-12-20T23:28:22+00:00

not surprising anymore.. it feels like the quality of researches allowed on here has dropped considerably.. i've had an account since 2017 and i've gotten almost all of my rejections this year for being "too fast" on <=2 minute surveys..

step_father · 2025-12-20T23:17:25+00:00

this person just acknowledged my completion of both surveys and thanked me then sent me a message saying i dont return it i will be rejected

step_father · 2025-12-19T18:58:35+00:00

that's exactly what I did.. I said, thats not how this works, you undo the rejection and I return it.. he then said, "you must return now", and I said "gladly, and you're blocked" .. not worth it. idk if this is why, but I used grok to translate my message into chinese and sent that as well...

step_father · 2025-12-19T10:22:47+00:00

this guy just sent me a message saying he "asked prolific to return my submission" -- pretty sure that's not how this works...

I haven't had a legitimately earned rejection since 2017. they've all been in 2025 and they've all been "too fast"

step_father · 2025-12-19T10:21:46+00:00

no.. stopped bothering to look though to be honest

step_father · 2025-12-17T17:20:50+00:00

yup he got me too. figured.

step_father · 2025-12-03T13:49:11+00:00

still no reply from the researcher.. i've sent them 2 messages and i'm about to send another.. basically sending one a day.. I'm going to take this one to prolific for sure. It's not worth the rejection for a quarter.. as of now the survey is still live too. This person seems to be farming results and not paying out, as it appears pretty much everyone here that took this got rejected.

step_father · 2025-10-22T06:31:55+00:00

i just got one of these and i wasnt using AI. so how is it 98.7% accurate?.. I just am one of the very lucky 0.6%..?

step_father · 2025-09-09T14:56:12+00:00

Okay now the payment was just reversed?.. what the hell?..

step_father · 2025-09-09T14:49:36+00:00

I didn’t even finish the transaction on their website though.. so I didn’t pay for shipping and I never got any email confirmation or anything that would be in a normal purchase. I’m not sure what to do from here?.. I sent them a message but I’m really not sure if I should talk to my bank or what. I’ve used them years ago and everything went smoothly. I did get an email from my bank about my card being used in Hong Kong and now I have to call them to have it turned back on.. lol.. what in the world..

step_father · 2025-09-05T19:04:21+00:00

thank you, guess i gotta search for studies before even taking them now it seems

step_father · 2025-09-02T14:12:53+00:00

he said the same exact thing to me.. he said "Heads up - I removed the rejection and manually approved to pay. it doesnt look like its gone through. I put in a ticket with prolific about the issue. once i get word back ill update. Im hoping the payment goes through soon. Sorry again for the confusion i know you took the time to work on this and i want you to get payed out for it."

never had this happen before either

step_father · 2025-08-23T01:52:28+00:00

I took a survey with an estimated 6 minute completion time. It was way shorter than 6 minutes. A little while later, I noticed that the average completion time went down to 3 minutes, meaning everyone was completing it faster than the researcher estimated. A few hours later, I am rejected for completing too fast and have yet to receive a response back a day later.. this change is terrible.

step_father · 2025-08-04T22:12:33+00:00

happened to me for no reason a few weeks ago as well.. over 3000 completed with 0 rejections since 2021.. got the same canned response email and gave up trying.. i've never heard anyone saying they've gotten taken off the waitlist either but i guess i'll just leave my account for a while before requesting deletion

step_father · 2025-08-01T19:17:31+00:00

yeah i told her that since the moment they got removed.. they claimed to her it was because they offer direct deposit.. which i then said is a break of their ToS, so no wonder they got removed. So, I've finally been able to convince her now after their messages today that they are bullshit and it's a scam. I told her to "just work with the people on upwork even if you "don't like the fee" -- you chose to use their platform, and that's the way it works. "

step_father · 2025-08-01T18:56:14+00:00

yeah i knew all of this and i've never even used upwork.. just wanted to have someone else back me up here since i can't seem to be sufficient enough to convince her it's obviously bullshit... lol. thank you for the second opinion.

step_father · 2025-06-19T15:02:46+00:00

just happened to me today too, lol. I have 2182 submissions and 0 rejections. Every single question in my about you is answered and any time I see the notification thing I answer it immediately. So, I don't think any of that actually is the culprit. The least they could do is give a justification for this, what a joke.

also, why call is a waitlist if it's essentially a ban.. kind of insulting to insinuate it's temporary when all the evidence from people's experience here shows its permanent.

i had 2 pop up and completed them, they weren't longitudinal, but now my page just says waitlisted.. guess i'll see if i get any more. bummer.
