Interesting and easy to do study, overall I have completed a few studies by this researcher, at times screened out, but screen out payment applies, I had to wait a week once for payment, however the rest have approved within hours, up to 72 hours.

must be done on tablet, but screen sharing does not work on my tablet, so I clicked on the "leave study" button it presented. Noticed then it had given me a rejection. So I clicked the 3 dots and returned it instead which seems to have worked.
Frequent screen outs but when doing studies I have always been approved. Approval can come within few days to 2 weeks.
Often rejected after completing demographic questions or told that the survey isn’t available (which is considered a rejection as well). After two rejections by Maze Research by Prolific account was placed on a temporary hold for 24 hours. Once my ban was lifted, I blocked the researcher.
Could you please explain what you meant by that first sentence? Being told the survey isn't available is definitely not a rejection (it just means you have to return the study). Completing demographic questions and then getting screened out is also not a rejection (and you get a screen-out fee and a message saying you've been screened out). I literally have no idea what you're going on about here.
I've done lots of studies for maze and they're usually fairly enjoyable and usually pay decent. Attention check questions are a little cheesy, but once you know what to look for they're easy. I've had a few issues in the past with the estimated times being unrealistic (one I remember was estimated at 45 minutes or so and took me around 70), but that seems to have been better lately. They also do take a while to approve (usually a week or two), but I've never had an issue with a rejection from them. Screen outs are frequently but have always happened for me in the first couple of questions and pay 25 cents, so I don't mind.
Often screened-out. Thus low pay. Sometimes doesn't. If you're bored or eligible go for it.
I had second thoughts when the software download page loaded. It asked if I wanted to continue and I said no. It took me back to the Prolific survey page and auto-filled the code. I assumed it was a screen out and didn't think anymore about it. Then I received a received a return request because my submission wasn't up to snuff, immediately followed by a rejection. ?? It did let me return it, but it really rubbed me the wrong way. I told them I didn't want to complete the survey. They entered their own code and then rejected it. **curse words!**
I completed this submission in good faith and followed all instructions. It was rejected with little explanation. I raised this with the researcher for specific feedback so I could try to understand why but have received no reply to date. I am considering a SAR as getting rejections without fair explanation and being ignored appears to be becoming a real problem for this Site in general and appears to be causing good participants to look elsewhere...
Adequately paying. Occasional technical issues. Frequent screenouts.
This is a shitty researcher, and the thing really pisses me off is that prolific upheld the rejection after I have submitted my appeal
