Forum: General Topic: Now I see how I messed up Author Message bombill #1 posted September 21, 2004 at 2:41am (EST)   I'm creating a survey in qual that's caused me a bit of frustration. Regrettably, only a moment ago I realized what I was doing to exacerbate it. I've posted this in qual, but thought I'd post it here as sort of a public apology. *survey creator* N/A posted 21-Sep-2004 2:23am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now I get it! It looked like I was trying to erase votes against me! Ah, of course! OK, yea, so I still think wolf's vote is a nitpick. It's not as if I think wolf is incapable of dispensing sage advice. Most, if not all of her comments I see in qual are geared towards structure and accessibility, and I think she contributes a lot. What aggravates me with her is that she uses "needs work" so liberally, especially over tedious details on simple questions. *survey creator* old posted 21-Sep-2004 2:09am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, I just read surveys spend at least a day in qual. I'm stupid. I thought the countdown timer meant this thing would disappear or something. I'm used to working on tight deadlines, so I thought resetting it would keep this alive in qual. I should read more often. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *survey creator* old posted 20-Sep-2004 2:48am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know what you mean, pandora, but qual has a fairly short time for me to wait for enough votes, and I don't intend to change anything. This isn't mere stubborness, I really think it's fine the way it is. I don't want to give anyone the option to click "no" and be done with it. You either try to answer the survey or you abstain. Or go back to other surveys. See, that's plenty of options. Zang, they aren't listed for greatness, but popularity. Whether you and I like it, and I feel I can say we don't, Kinkade is wildly popular with suburban art buyers.

I understand that you're frustrated, I probably would be too, but resetting your survey to clear needs work votes might not be the best way to go about this. wolf359 needs work posted 19-Sep-2004 9:00pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I said before. If you don't like it, TOUGH CRAP! **survey creator* old posted 19-Sep-2004 8:57pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a listing survey. If you list 5 or more, you've answered yes. If you list less, you've answered no. There will be no options on this survey. For the love of God, people, stop whining. I'm asking for a reasonble, not perfect, vote. We'll see if no one can accept it. I'll keep this in qual forever if I have too. I'm tired of this notion that every survey has to cater to a small group of nitpickers' idea of what a survey should be. bcollins old posted 19-Sep-2004 3:57pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- options pandora old posted 19-Sep-2004 3:42pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Works for me. cerealkiller old posted 19-Sep-2004 10:24am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It doesn't matter that "you're okay with an essay". No one else will accept it and it will never pass unless you change it to add options. wolf359 old posted 19-Sep-2004 1:56am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are still asking if we can so this does need options such as "Yes, I can", No, I can't", etc. This isn't going to fly without options as we stated before. *survey creator* old posted 19-Sep-2004 1:19am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yea, I thought I'd say "Please list 5 artists..." instead, but that's a statement instead of a question. I'm fine leaving as essay. Answer yes or no there. Thanks for the spelling correction. cerealkiller old posted 18-Sep-2004 8:01pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7i they old posted 18-Sep-2004 7:28pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, Thomas Kinkade is spelled incorrectly.. And for the record, I only know that because my company sells large quantities of his CRAP. wolf359 old posted 18-Sep-2004 1:13pm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options as Biggles said. gambler old posted 18-Sep-2004 9:53am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- wb286s Biggles old posted 18-Sep-2004 6:22am -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently, it's a yes/no question, so should it have options? "Yes:", "No"

I hate hypocrites, too. Ah, the ol' ad hominem, gotta love it. I'm all for being passionate about one's views, but when it builds into aggression, it just spreads and the point gets lost.

Forum: Site_Feedback Topic: Re: Blind for 1.5 million survey Author Message bombill #3 posted May 21, 2004 at 2:40am (EST)   Maybe you could've taken the opportunity to share with everyone how valuable each eye is. This might be one of the few surveys that you would be more of an authority on than anyone else. I know it must not feel good to be reminded of such a loss, but I feel the creator meant nothing insensitive by it. In fact, I think it was picked because it's one of the few things our body has two of that is truly hard to live without. Look, all I'm saying is that it might help to think of such surveys not as painful reminders, but opportunities to make others understand what you know from your own experience.
