Careful on the returns after various support tickets about not getting anything and having manual verification done, prolific finally decided i dont meet there criteria and so no longer eligible.

Stats were 4,257 submissions 103 rejections however only thing from last couple months were 19 returns (instead of usual 2-3) so they definitely dont like members doing this.

I would sincerely hope they're not black-marking you because of this, as their help page on returned studies explicitly says: "It will not affect your Prolific account or ability to participate in more studies in any way."

The only reply they gave after lots of emails about lifting this, that the other was.

"We carry out various types of automated checks on accounts to improve data quality. These include assessing responses to surveys and questions, reports from researchers, as well as other undisclosable factors. I'm afraid you cannot participate in further studies on Prolific because your account has failed one of these checks. We are unable to disclose further information about this."

So its kind of open to interpretation but from my perpsective the only change is returning more due to studies stating please return you are not eligible

Another odd one - Opinion survey - I returned this without even starting it because it pays £1.23 per hour. I've just been awarded a bonus payment of 30p for it.

I stated the extremely low payment as my reason for returning.

Me too.

I'm wondering if this payment is actually to reflect the extra time the study took, rather than the performance bonus. The Prolific page is showing an average completion time of 28 minutes compared to an estimated completion time of only 15 minutes. The difference works out at exactly the £1.08 'bonus' I have received.

I may be wrong but I'm hoping that the performance bonus of up to £2 is still to be processed. I did think that I'd answered the questions correctly at the time.

same as I received was expecting £2 as I am sure it was an even amount for each correct answer so was unsure were the 8p came into it you may be right and the other bonus may follow.

Did you receive a second bonus for this? I took part in round 2 of this and have just received a bonus of 50p. While I'm happy to entertain the possibility that I may have misread a question or two and selected the wrong answer, 50p is a long way off the £2 maximum that was promised. However, I've checked the survey and it's showing average completion of 21 minutes, so I'm wondering if this is payment for those extra 6 minutes.

Only received the one bonus of £1.08 for this you would think if the researcher did a second wave of this they would have known there estimated time was off.

This one made my day! Only took about 20 minutes in the end, and that's including the optional extra bit at the end (more like 15 minutes if I'd skipped that).

If anyone completes this study and can make head or tail of the instructions I take my hat off to you.

I've just completed it - will be interesting to see if I get a bonus or not!  Happy to settle for the 75p.

I did a quick survey earlier on today - 4 minutes for 11p. It has already been approved; not only that but I got a bonus of 1p from the researcher. Any ideas what I can spend these untold riches on?
