Had this email from prolific today

Payment adjusted Hi  Great news, Karolina has increased the reward per hour for this study as it was paying under our minimum recommended reward per hour when your submission was approved. Your account has been credited by £0.02. Regards, Prolific Weird as this survey was paying over the £5 an hour had a load recently which were paying well under hoping this is prolific dealing with this issue as it seems to be a happening regularly the ones than frustrate me most are when the researchers grossly underestimate the time to complete their surveys.

I received the same email but for a different researcher.

Hi Emma,

Great news, Sarah has increased the reward per hour for this study as it was paying under our minimum recommended reward per hour when your submission was approved.

Your account has been credited by £0.02.

Regards, Prolific Hopefully Prolific are finally starting to deal with the issue of low paying studies. I've flagged a few recently.

Nice earner for a quick survey - only issue I had was it didn't give me a completion code

The instructions were to click enter to move on from the first practice event, but it took me to an external website.  I refreshed and got a message to say that the study has been made unavailable.

Yes, I've just completed it. Worked ok. 
it may be that your message is showing 0 places remaining so you were too late?

Did anyone else do this one? I feel like I might have done it wrong, as I didn't really understand what was expected of me. They were showing me descriptions of people - not famous people, as far as I could tell - with identifying details like names and ages removed, and asking me if I could identify that person by name. Obviously I couldn't, and I don't understand how I would ever have been able to unless I happened to know someone personally who fitted the description. But perhaps I misunderstood what they were asking me.

I feel like there have been SO many more studies than usual! Yesterday there were several but sadly didn't have the opportunity to start them. I have managed to do 3 today and 2 have already paid out.

Not here. Well there were a couple yesterday, but only for 1 person so i wasn't quick enough. And none today. Not had any luck on there since 5th!
