Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

Anybody do this one last Thursday?  I timed out as I didn't start it immediately. The researcher said they have my data and will pay me, but nothing come through as yet, and of course it's showing as Timed Out on the status so they will have to manually put it through. Don't know if they've paid others yet, don't want to remind them if they haven't paid out others yet.

Hi - anyone else seen a real slow-down on Prolific this week? I've checked in regualrly and there is zilch, zip, nada. Starting to feel paranoid that it might be me!

Thanks!

Counting since Monday morning, I've completed 13 studies, although some of them were really short ones.

Has anybody else fallen foul of studies by the researcher below?  It was Chinese translated automatically by Google, I can't remember the content exactly but received the following bland message with a rejection:

'                                                                          Your work was not up to our standards.'

I'm not really that bothered, and could kick myself as I had doubts in the first place and hourly rate is terrible, but it would be interesting to know if others experienced the same as I and fell into the trap - I don't recall that there was anything difficult in the study.  There do seem to have been other instances having Googled.

Probably their algorithm giving you a rest for a bit. They will pop up again once your tumbleweed spell is over.

Cashout is now £6 or $6 and it looks like we get to take the P@ypal hit on the conversion to sterling.
