Image Labeling
By Readability Team$3.00 • $7.12/hr25 mins48 places
Was this one where you had to categorise the image by gender, ethnicity, age etc, about 9 questions per image and about 30 images? I got ripped off a couple of weeks back. Researcher was a Chinese name but title was the same. They retrospectively changed the rate to 7.66 dollars from 4 dollars, but I only got 4 dollars. Was supposed to be 4 dollars for 20 minutes, took twice that. Complained to the researcher and Prolific but got no response.

Yes, that’s the one. My complaint has fallen into a black hole of nothingness as well. I’m not expecting to get paid at all because it’s showing as timed out and I stopped at that point. I wasn’t going to waste another 20 minutes to get to the end and then still not get paid.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

They don't respond to messages I had one where the pictures didn't load properly and got no response

Did you report to Prolific? Hopefully if there's enough people reporting the researcher will get blocked.

Is the prolific website down/broken? all i get is a blank screen & when it does finally show, studies wont submit.0

It certainly seems broken at the moment. Looking at the source code, there is really nothing but reams of Javascript, which makes it impossible to get any idea of what is not working that ought to be.
