Puzzled

Sounds like restriction is a complete lockout. For me, I've been a 3-year participant. My score was just under 800.

Took a study rating photos, 25 of them, and each had a separate approval. Out of 25, 4 of those were rejected. Four photos. Those rejected photos dropped my score to 404 (go figure, lol). My account is "restricted". Okay, makes me wonder how other low rated accounts had "significant jumps", with the new factors. What was so tight that they were loosened?

Frustrating as the platform has been decent with interesting studies. Being restricted means rare studies. If that's the case, do I just sit and twiddle my thumbs? The rating system is ridiculous. Apparently not about returns.
