I gave full, high-quality responses to this study. I have over 4000 studies completed and this was my third ever rejection. I was able to reload the chat and save it so that I could provide it to prolific as evidence. Prolific upheld the rejection maybe 15 minutes after I appealed. I highly doubt that they even looked at the chat that I provided as evidence. So frustrated and annoyed at this researcher for stealing data and unfairly rejecting BUT I'm doubly upset at Prolific for upholding it blindly. There is no way that the data that I provided wasn't good enough.

This was a nearly hour-long AI text interview. I was careful and read all provided materials, including a provided announcement and the AI questions. I thoughtfully answered all questions from the interviewer, and put a lot of effort into this study. I was shocked when I was rejected for not meeting quality standards, which has never happened to me in all my years on Prolific. This feels like an absolute scam. I've appealed the rejection and fully plan to report them further. It was a £10.00 reward, and I feel like this was a data grab. My perfect account now has a black mark due to this scammer. I would avoid this study and this researcher.
Prolific is going to uphold the rejection. So disgusted with them right now.
