:'( :'( Got rejected from a big paying study all because I answered one of the quality check questions wrongly (fair enough) but the question was based on understanding of the task and even after reading it, I still didn't understand what the answer was supposed to be because I suck at maths.

Researcher has agreed to rethink the wording for future studies but I'm now not being paid for almost an hours work all because of 1 question :'( :'(

I wouldn't be able to let this rest...

If the researcher has agreed to rethink the wording then they obviously agree that something is not quite right.

I would write back and try again. Tell them how disappointed you are, how hard you work on these things and how this has never happened to you before.

Worth a shot, just be honest and nice - I reckon you might get the payment still.

Believe me I did try. Thankfully I remembered the study as it was a week ago so I could explain my side but the question had a wrong and right answer (actually I think there were 4 options) and I just picked the wrong one. Always very polite but unfortunately made no difference :(

Just had my PA account hacked.

They requested a payment to the email address toxatow2@gmail.com

Thankfully could change it back but to have changed it in the first place they would have needed to know my password :mad: :mad: Contacted PA. If you get a cashout notification, check it.

Have you checked 'Have I been Pwned' to see if your email address has been compromised somewhere? Mine was recently by Clixsense!

Hadn't heard of that site. I have 3 apparently - 1 is also Clixsense. Just checked and apparently I did join them back in 2008. Nice of them to let me know my data was breached! :mad: I have a different password for PA though from all 3 sites listed so it shouldn't have been affected ???

They don't send out e-mail invites much at all (unless it's a follow up). I would recommend downloading something like VisualPing to let you know when there's a new study added but you still have to be incredibly quick for some of them.

It's a been a bit quieter over the last few days though - I'm guessing will pick up again sometime after Xmas/New year. Well worth it though!

Just had my first rejection, from a music related one I posted on the other Prolific thread :(

It said I failed one of the quality check questions apparently. Of course it is possible that I missed this but I am usually very careful so would be interested to see if anyone else fails it too.

I have messaged back to ask where exactly I went wrong, so that I can avoid making the same mistake in the future. My score is now less than 100 as well, so I hope it does not affect future invites.

I've had a few rejections now and my score is still 100 because there are so few of them compared to accepted so don't worry about it too much but just make sure you look out for those questions.

I don't think I did the one you've mentioned though so couldn't tell you what might have been wrong.

Always worth very polite messages though as some researchers will change the decision.

I got rejected for the music one too! I always read carefully and can usually spot an attention check a mile off! It'll be interesting to see what the researcher replies [member=4097]Knopfler[/member]
