What action should be taken against Survey Central users who mass produce surveys that all have the same error?

Fifty in one day? Give them an award!

Beat them with a rubber hose,make them watch Martha Stewart all day & make them listen to polka music all night!After all that,they'll never do it again.

Options 2 & 3 and maybe bill could have a little talk with them via e-mail (if he has their e-mail address) and let them know what they are doing is counter-productive and inappropriate. I wouldn't ban the person as he/she is probably a newbie who doesn't know any better.

so what? deal with it. what's the big deal?

Tell them about it following the guidelines set in qualification.

Inform the person of the problem with their surveys
Tell them not to make a large quantity of surveys &
Set a limit on how many surveys a person can have that are unqualified

look, what was the error anyway, the fact that they ended the question with do you or would you
and left it at that?
so?
i don't care for the style really, but thats all it is, a style of questioning.

Inform the person of the problems, just like you would any other survey.

We should set a limit. I'd say users should be allowed to have a maximum of five unqualified surveys at one time. Also inform them of the problems with their surveys.

Kill them. Have the mob slice their throats and dump them in the sewers.

It depends on how new they are to SC (ie whether they understand the qualification system, etc) and the exact nature of the fault.

I don't care. I love "fix me" surveys, and I'll probably have a good binge on them.

Wasn't that from "The Onion"? I loved that one. "Terrorists surprised to find themselves in hell", or something along those hilarious lines.

yup!

What do mean by mass produced. The same survey created 50 times or 50 surveys that didn't have 'other' in them. If it was the first then go tell Bill. If it was the second them tell them and let them go through the trouble of learning the hard way. 50 survey eh? I hope their good.

Great crap.

Inform them of their error (which some of us did repeatedly). Hopefully, they will learn their lesson eventually.

Who are you, the naughty survey creator police? Who cares really?

I think it usually happens when someone is new. I don't think something should be done to punish them; their lack of knowledge of the way SC works is only due to inexperience. A limit on the number of surveys that can be in qual. at the same time would be a good solution. Perhaps a maximum of 10?

Oops! Your not one of them are you?

lol lol lol lol

Yeah! You know??? I was wondering the same thing too! 50 of the same surveys or 50 different surveys.So what was it?? Good eye mate!

** runs off singing "I'm tellin Bill,I'm tellin Bill" **

Yeah! **looking all sheepish** That could've been me.

No wonder I'm afraid of making surveys,I could risk getting banned form SC. Say it ain't so.I wouldn't want to live!

Alright! Who was it??? Come clean! Confession is good for the soul.

The sooner you confess the better you'll feel.
Don't make us send the naughty survey creator police after you!

Come on now,we can do it the easy way or the hard way.It's up to you.

Inform them.

don't make equally bad surveys to counteract the already bad surveys

Set a limit, with a ban as final punishment. And what's up with mass-producing surveys, anyway? That's just sad.

Are you insulting my survey?

Inform them that there is a repeated error in all of their surveys and ask them nicely if they could fix them all.

I was only stating my opinion. I do not like meta surveys. If you take it as an insult I guess it is an insult. I wouldnt take it personally I just prefer surveys that have interesting content.

What do you mean by meta surveys?

surveys about surveys

I don't care.

Some of us did inform bill the first time through. Unfortunately this person had created them anonymously so bill didn't know who was to blame. BTW-7 of the surveys that have qualified were done by a newbie named "gameshow."

As you noticed (thanks for the hug) the qual procedure is fast becoming a traumatic experience.

Maybe bill should offer psychiatric counseling for the PTSD we are suffering because of the survey creator You're welcome for the hug, but let me know if you need another. BTW-I'm making baked chicken Sunday (tomorrow).

*best Homer Simpson Impression*
mmmm baked chicken!

You're drooling on my keyboard!
