Great customer service 

That's awful. Any idea why? Any other household member signed up?

I'm sorry this has happened to you, navidson.  I hope you find out why.

After 18 minutes and trying to understand the instructions, I'm afraid I failed miserably.  It was too complicated for me and, after 18 minutes I still did not understand what I was supposed to be doing.  
Did anyone have success in understanding the Study instructions and manage to complete it in the estimated 11 minutes?

Nobody else in my household - they cited that my account was 'flagged by automated processes' and they will not be reinstating my account

I'm equal parts gutted and absolutely fuming

"Flagged by automated processes"??  What does that actually mean?

Wonder if they are using AI for flagging processes? Eventually they all will and no one will ever really know what the decision was based on! Remember reading about Uber drivers who were dismissed for various breaches. And it turned out the AI software was getting it wrong! I have just been booted out of OnePoll for security concerns- whatever they are!

I’d given up on one poll ages ago anyway - just not worth it.

My OnePoll account was blocked for vague and spurious reasons, coincidentally just when I was getting close to the redemption threshold, and they wanted a photo of my photo ID, another one of me holding said ID, and proof that I am a UK resident to "speed up the investigation." I decided it wasn't worth playing that sort of stupid scammy-seeming game, and wrote off the $20+ of points I had accrued. Frankly I was planning on giving it the boot after cashing out anyway.

That was a bit odd. But the latest Prolific survey today was using the same software as OnePoll and looked identical! Briefly though my account must have been unblocked!

Surely they can't do that without giving you good reason. Have you raised a complaint?

they can do whatever they want and no they don't need a reason for it. Swagbucks suggest you don't leave your cash in survey sites for just such an eventuality.

No, I cash mine out soon as it reaches the right level
