Screened Out

Researcher should indicate in the study description that this study is for people who currently have a mortgage. At least it was an immediate screenout.

I accepted the recruitment ad. I was directed to their webpage. I was told my location was inappropriate (?!) and then it was an automatic rejection, all in the span of three seconds. Unbelievable.

Study doesn't actually exist. Unable to do it.

Rejected

Rejected me for being in 'wrong location' rather than screen out. Ballpark is also, from my research, a company that conducts surveys on behalf of other brands. It would be worth notifying these brands that their main source of research is researching unethically as it can be a poor rep for the brands using it.

When I entered the study on Prolific, the survey link said that the study was full (despite the timer running on prolific), instantly returned the study.

Screened Out

You should Insta-block this researcher when you join Prolific. They are reject happy and will find any reason not to pay participants. Prolific needs to kick them off.

One of the VERY rare occasions that I appear to get into a Ballpark Labs study, only to be told once I click the link to begin that the study is closed to new participants. Total clownshow. Blocking.

I've never been able to even start a study. I accept the study only for the tab it's opened in to say that it's full and that I can wait to see if anyone leave a spot. If the study's full after someone accepts it, why post a study in the first place?
