  1. With most survey sites, No. With a Dynata owned site, HELL No!

  2. So apparently I didn't know a survey redirecting site could block anyone. Normally I thought the panels that provide the surveys do that. But this is new to me. Now the bad thing. A lot of sites use this platform for their surveys and I've been getting auto disqualifier every time they popped up on my sites. Branded, Tellwut, or Univox. So I wrote Branded and they said that they have blocked me and they have no power to change that. So I'm sitting here with my jaw to the floor that a provider can block someone. Like I have no idea where to even go for this. I mean no way to contact them or anything. I'm just amazed I guess and needed to share.

  3. A few weeks ago I posted that Prolific had locked me out of my account. I waited for awhile then finally sent them the message below. Do you suppose you could unlock my account long enough for me to cash out? Then if you no longer want me to participate in surveys we can part amicably. A day or so later they responded with this. Apr 2021, 06:15 BST"Do yoyou"Thanks for getting in touch. We carry out various types of automated checks on accounts to improve data quality. These include checking the trustworthiness of ISPs, assessing responses to surveys and questions, reports from researchers, as well as other factors. For more detail on all the checks we carry out, please take a look at our blog post: Why participants get banned I'm afraid you cannot participate in further studies on Prolific because your account has failed one or more of these checks. Unfortunately, we are unable to disclose further information about the specifics of these checks and will not be able to reverse this decision. We must stress that, while we thank you for your interest in the platform, this decision is very much final. Please note that we are unable to allow restricted participants to create new accounts, so please do not attempt this. You will now be able to withdraw any remaining rewards earned from your account. Thank you for understanding and we apologise for any inconvenience caused" Prolific always did seem to fall into that category, "If it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is", A panel that actually offered high paying surveys, rejections that were rare and quick payouts. Sure enough, after a few months run, they dumped me and they won't tell me why. There is no chance to redeem myself, just unceremoniously dumped. Am I surprised, naw, I fully realize any survey panel that you have an account with is susceptible to turning on you at any given time. That is why I am associated with a dozen or so. That way one by itself can't hurt you much.
