Feel like I've not seen anything on my dashboard all day

No projects available. Prolific please fix this!

I accidentally was on a VPN when I attempted to verify my ID. It resulted in a hold of my account. I went to appeal it and they said the following:

“Your account is restricted as your IP address has been flagged as high-risk by our third-party security and monitoring systems, which we use to maintain data quality and protect platform integrity.

Unfortunately, we can't manually override these flags as the systems operate independently to ensure unbiased security checks.

Flagged IP addresses are reviewed periodically, and access can be restored once an IP is no longer flagged. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee when this will happen, if at all, so for the time being, you will not be able to use Prolific.”

Has anyone experienced this before? I always have a VPN on my phone for security reasons and didn’t realize until after that it would flag my account. Anyone had their closed account reopened after some time of waiting at all or am I out of luck? Was really excited to sign up for Prolific but doesn’t seem like that’s an option at all anymore.

For my last 3 withdrawals account goes on hold then gets back.. this time it has taken way longer...anyone experienced the same? I have tried reaching out to support but no reply ..

Usually if I keep Prolific open I can get a decent amount, even on weekends and especially at night (when I assume a lot of people in other timezones are putting them up). On Friday it was normal but after that I've only had 1-2 the entire weekend. Is it just a REALLY slow weekend and is anyone else experiencing this? I don't think I've ever experienced it being this slow, usually there are at least a couple of those AI interview ones thrown on my dash but it's been practically empty.

Afaik I haven't been rejected for anything or done something that would put my account in poor standing so I'm not too worried about being in trouble

I feel like being too honest won't get you a lot of studies. For example I was self employed for 10 years. Since I updated that in my section, I basically didn't get any more studies. Same after switching phones from android to iOS. I feel like there is a perfect mixture in the About You section that will get you a ton of studies

Guys I jst noticed that my brother has already downloaded 2 extensions which are "google docs offline" n "safepal extension wallet".....so is there any chances of my acc getting suspended or ban cause of using other extensions....cause from wat I know prolific does not allows us to use other extensions besides " prolific assistant"....so is my acc in danger or those two extensions have nothing to do wit my prolific acc...n that I can download prolific assistant extension.....

I made a previous post here about joining very recently, and I've done pretty well over the last 2 1/2 weeks that I've been doing studies. I'm curious if the amount of them stays consistent over time? Like, as long as I keep up my rate of doing them, should I make a consistent amount of money? Or do they peter out over time, fluctuate, etc? I'm just curious!

Like I know it fluctuates day to day and all that, but do they ever drop off after a while, or is it really just completely random?

Good day, guys.

I just register today as participant. How long does it usually takes before I get selected for a project??

Regards.

So it's been a few days and the situation hasn't improved for me, I've been receiving some studies but all the spots they have left is maximum 5, when I put my mouse in the spots section the study had like 100 spots... I don't know why I'm receiving studies with such spots left for no reason and it's pretty frustrating, is this happening to you too since that day? Thanks!!
