Managing Your Reputation

Your reputation determines your access to study invitations. Build it by providing high-quality submissions and demonstrating reliability.

Track Your Reputation

View your metrics on the My Credits page in your participant console:

  • Approval Rate: Percentage of approved submissions
  • Show-Up Rate: Live study attendance record
  • Badges: Recognition for quality and reliability

Building a Strong Reputation

1. Provide High-Quality Submissions

High-quality submissions are authentic, thoughtful, detailed, and well-written. Always write in your own words based on your genuine thoughts and experiences.

2. Complete Studies on Time

Submit before deadlines and avoid timeouts.

3. Attend Live Studies

Show up on time for all reserved sessions. Only reserve sessions you can definitely attend.

AI Use is Strictly Prohibited

Using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI writing assistants) to answer research questions is forbidden.

Consequences:

  1. Your submission will be rejected
  2. Your Authentic Contributor Badge will be removed
  3. Your probability of receiving future study invitations will dramatically decrease
  4. Repeated violations may lead to account restrictions

Researchers rely on authentic human responses. Always provide your own genuine thoughts.

What Hurts Your Reputation

  • Using AI tools — Leads to rejection, badge loss, and fewer invitations
  • Rejected submissions — Low-quality or incomplete work
  • Timeouts — Not completing studies before deadlines
  • No-shows — Missing reserved live sessions (removes Punctuality Pro Badge)

Your Badges

1. Authentic Contributor Badge

Shows you provide authentic, human-generated responses. Removed if any submission is rejected due to AI detection. Losing this badge significantly reduces your eligibility for future studies.

2. Punctuality Pro Badge

Recognizes consistent live study attendance. Removed if you no-show any live study.
