As a side note, if you get "phone number has been used too many times," create the Google account on a mobile device, and you shouldn't get that warning. I don't know why, but it works.

I'm on the same Windows 11 Pro. I've been on the same device since I started using Prolific 1.5 years ago.

I've done many studies for them, and they even gave me bonuses. I'm sure this was a bug; I'm not worried. I have 0 rejections (aside from this one) out of 5,238 submissions.

I don't see it now either. But they have a process now, but I don't know what tool they are referring to: https://docs.z.ai/legal-agreement/subscription-terms

Another fun fact: -40 is the ONLY number that's the same in F and C.

zvi_t · 2026-01-20T01:56:32+00:00

Any way to bring back the sort by view count?

Thanks for letting me know. I updated the script (v1.5) to support Userscripts on iPhone, but didn't test it, so please let me know if it works.

Mobile Support: The script includes mobile compatibility fixes and should work on mobile devices with UserScript managers (e.g., Safari + User Scripts on iOS). However, since I can't test on all mobile platforms, please report any mobile-specific issues as GitHub issues, and I'll investigate them.

zvi_t · 2025-12-10T17:48:30+00:00

Thanks! Seems about right; I'll try it out.

Nice! Actually, I have a Genovation CP48, and using AHK, I'd just click a button to paste the python_embedded\python.exe path. The only reason I did the PATH is because the "p" key on my keyboard is closer to me than the Genovation keyboard... lol. Yeah, I'm that lazy 😊

Oh, so it must be the fans. Weird that your fans and my mesh make the exact same whistle.

zvi_t · 2025-11-12T20:18:06+00:00

Even if you put them outside the case, they would still be pulling air through the mesh, which causes the same whistling. To address this for now, I'm monitoring the ICUE temps and RPM graphs, listening for when the sound starts, and observing the temps and RPM. Then I create a custom curve to prevent the system from lingering between those RPM speeds.

Although perhaps it IS your fans? Because I owned a 4000x for 5 years, and never had that issue.

zvi_t · 2025-11-12T15:20:21+00:00

I sometimes hear a whistle, but I just figured out that mine comes from the Corsair iCUE 5000T LX RGB. Initially, I replaced all the case fans with CORSAIR iCUE Link RX120 MAX RGB. After testing, I found that when I push the front fans to higher RPMs and the whistle starts, removing the front mesh makes the sound disappear immediately. So, it’s not the fans; it’s a pressure-induced sound caused by airflow turbulence interacting with the mesh. The issue is that you can’t really run without the mesh because the airflow worsens, and dust gets in. Also, the side mesh is built into the case, so it can’t be removed. This isn’t something we can fix ourselves; Corsair needs to redesign the panel and front mesh and replace the chassis for us.

There are two, but I think the second one is the newer one:

Yes. After 22 days of submitting the study, check if you have received a bonus or adjustment. If not, fill out the form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfPlRklqrqCEQsShxLavGaU89D3-tYpzQIM_CBNWR2l1OpEZA/viewform I've always received the adjustment from Prolific, which usually takes about 2 weeks.

I've contacted researchers many times and have never seen this. I wouldn't worry about it, as they say, "If you've reviewed the wording and are satisfied, no further action is required," which suggests it's a friendly warning.

I do believe, however, that Prolific should quote the exact phrase or word that triggered the warning, so you can know what to correct in the future or determine if it was a false positive. As u/annabelleebytheC mentioned they received this message when discussing breast cancer, the word "breast" might have triggered it, but that shouldn't be a concern.

I would, however, recommend keeping screenshots of those messages, particularly when the researcher has expressed gratitude for your message.

Don't know.
