            I don’t think I asked that many. I would’ve carried on, but I got annoyed with it for warning me. 🙄 maybe it was the AI struggling that was the issue.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

            There is a $30 AI study up - its one of the previous formats for which I thought the project had ended. Only 200 places though if anyone is around to grab one.0

 I messaged the researcher who replied saying it was an admin error and they had "now accepted this response". However, I still don't think I've been paid. My Prolific balance is still the same as when the study was showing as rejected. I've asked them to clarify that, but tbh it was the rejection that was bothering me more.elsien said:
 Challenge it?Sapindus said:Today, after over three years, and a 100% approval rate across 1600 studies, I got my first rejection. The study involved playing melodies on an instrument by ear. Singing was not allowed so I dug out my recorder and played that. It's taken them a couple of weeks, and now they've said I was "singing". I'm furious!

 I emailed the researcher and said I'd had to abandon the survey as it went way over time and I couldn't submit correctly at the end. I submitted with Nocode, and have been paid.Make £2025 in 2025

            Estate Planning Software SurveyBy Malin Surinphaiboon£1.25 • £8.57/hr8 mins
 Anyone else fail an attention check in this one and were asked to return? I'm confused though as I clicked the link provided rather than the submit button as it had the code at the end, but was then able to use the back button to review my answers to the survey and there were no attention checks I could see.
 Very odd, I did return but I have messaged to ask for confirmation of the attention check and why I failed. Waste of my time anyway.0

            Did it refuse your Prolific email? I have always had mine accepted in circumstances where a study asks for it.

            Has anyone actually got any referral bonus. I had an E.mail about it but when I looked at my dashboard it said no referrals available?0

            Mine says unavailable as well. I’m presuming that’s because they have too many people on the waiting list at the moment.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

 I have used my Prolific email in the past, but this one would only accept a personal google account (with a message to say it was ‘safe to give this information’ or something similar). I did report it.MollyR said:Did it refuse your Prolific email? I have always had mine accepted in circumstances where a study asks for it.0
