Updown	posted 4-Mar-2005 1:41pm   I want to take part, but I have a feeling someone has taken FOLLY. Let me look.
Updown	posted 4-Mar-2005 1:43pm   Hell, I was wrong. Folly it is then...my suggestion for the next participant is... ROLE-PLAYING GAMES (not the video game version).
darkshadowsseeker	(reply to Updown) posted 4-Mar-2005 1:51pm   I've already created a survey about RPG's in the past at the request of my son. It did poorly because I knew next to nothing about the subject matter. Take a look at my past attempt at doing a RPG survey and you'll see what I'm talking about. I was being questioned about options my son asked me to put in and had no clue what they were talking about most times. http://surveycentral.org/survey/8207.html
Updown	(reply to darkshadowsseeker) posted 4-Mar-2005 1:56pm   Are you suggesting I know a great deal about FOLLY? Wait a minute, I probably do. I was going to suggest exploring the "link" between Satanism and role-playing games, but I wanted to give the person more leeway. Just a thought.
Biggles	posted 4-Mar-2005 2:03pm   Hit me. (And yes, that is the next topic!)
Enheduanna	posted 4-Mar-2005 2:13pm   I like this idea a lot, although I probably won't participate. I don't create surveys very often because I don't come up with ideas that I think would be good all that often. Not that I try to come up with ideas. I guess mostly I'm just here to answer surveys.
Biggles	(reply to Updown) posted 4-Mar-2005 2:18pm   Oops, I did yours but missed the not video-games bit...never mind! I tried For the next person, the next topic is still "hit me".
darkshadowsseeker	(reply to Updown) posted 4-Mar-2005 2:28pm   That sounds like my sister talking! She is a born-again Christian and thinks playing RPG's are wrong, but she reads Harry Potter! Go figure!
cerealkiller	posted 4-Mar-2005 2:29pm   Sounding more and more like it's getting time to blow off this website. It's getting to be the 'few' control the whole thing. You don't like cock, piss and fetish surveys? Who gives a fudge if you don't? I've always maintained that qual should be used solely to correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, eliminate duplication and on rare occasion kill a totally bad survey. I will never agree to killing surveys just because I don't like the content and I think its totally wrong. The way I would see to stifle 'bad' surveys is simply to abstain from them.
Biggles	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 4-Mar-2005 2:32pm   I'm hardly calling for an end to them - in fact I state quite clearly that it would be unreasonable to HF them. What I'm suggesting is diluting them a little and encouraging a variety of new surveys. Rather different...
Updown	(reply to darkshadowsseeker) posted 4-Mar-2005 2:47pm   I am quite the opposite. I played role-playing games for years, but I have not done so in over a decade. I always thought the "link" between RPG's and Satanism was bogus. My suggestion was only to generate conversation on the topic. I don't think they are, and I don't much care what others (that don't play them) think about them.
Updown	(reply to Biggles) posted 4-Mar-2005 2:49pm   I like the idea, and I have already put together my FOLLY survey...although it might be pure folly. The biggest problem I have creating surveys is coming up with solid subject matter that hasn't already been overdone. It's a great idea, and I wish more people would participate.
Biggles	(reply to Updown) posted 4-Mar-2005 2:52pm   I'm hoping lots will - but someone has made the "hit me" survey and not set a new topic!!!
cerealkiller	(reply to Biggles) posted 4-Mar-2005 2:56pm   I agree with new and exciting surveys. I'm not the only one who thinks this site is getting boring and dieing. but to out of hand try to kill surveys is wrong too.
Biggles	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 4-Mar-2005 2:59pm   And at no point have I advocated that here. Well, I suppose "drowned" could be interpreted that way - but I think the dilution effect is pretty clear from the rest of it. You or anyone else can make lots of cock surveys if you want and I'll answer them, but they're more bearable if there's some variety in surveys. Sometimes there are too many surveys about US politics and I'd like to drown those out instead, or too manyy about religion. At the moment, there seem to be too many cock surveys, so they're the focus of the drowning out.
Updown	(reply to Biggles) posted 4-Mar-2005 3:14pm   I suppose we'll have to prod them into offering up some ideas.
Biggles	(reply to Updown) posted 4-Mar-2005 3:17pm   I'm trying... In the meantime, a topic that will be superceded if the rightful challenger comes back: Gerbil
anoddoblivion	posted 4-Mar-2005 3:30pm   Yes, I will take part. But I have to say that I think the way you put it was a little immature. One man's trash is another man's treasure, and it's never cool to dis anyone for any reason. Just my 2 cents.
southernyankee	posted 4-Mar-2005 3:31pm   yes, sign me up
Biggles	(reply to anoddoblivion) posted 4-Mar-2005 3:54pm   1) You need to set a challenge for the next person (southernyankee in this case). 2) I didn't "dis" anyone and I don't see why it's immature.
Matty	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 4-Mar-2005 4:15pm   can't completely weed them out in qualification without being unreasonable but just because you can't pull a survey up by the roots doesn't mean that it can't be drowned... Did you not read this? The point is too compete, not summarily dismiss.
Matty	posted 4-Mar-2005 4:18pm   Grammar and punctuation, differing style guides, etc.
southernyankee	(reply to Matty) posted 4-Mar-2005 4:53pm   ok, and your topic is, since you live in DC this would actually be appropriate especially for you this should be something pretaining to ethics, situational ethics to be precise, and something about the lines of when would it be ethical or ok for the government to lie to the people or when is it ok to keep secrets from them/ mislead them or when is it ok to disclose clasified info or whatever. Something along the lines of social ethics, the government having to weight in keeping info classified or national security in general verses the people have the right to know and honesty is be the best policy.
southernyankee	(reply to southernyankee) posted 4-Mar-2005 4:54pm   btw: be much more specific, my idea is just a general concept.
Biggles	posted 4-Mar-2005 4:54pm   OK, just to make sure everyone is keeping up. Matty is challenged by southernyankee. The next person to come to this survey should take Matty's challenge: Grammar and punctuation, differing style guides, etc. Don't forget to set a new challenge!
ASexyBabe	posted 4-Mar-2005 5:51pm   I challenge the next user to make a survey about 12 step recovery programs.
juliw	posted 4-Mar-2005 5:56pm   I might want to take part sometime later, but creativity escapes me right now.
LindaH	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 4-Mar-2005 5:57pm   I think if anyone comes in and makes a whole bunch of different surveys on the same topic, no matter what topic, we should just let them. One time someone came in and made a bunch of surveys about chess and he was run off. I don't know what people have against merely seeing a lot of something that doesn't interest them. It's like when people watch the news rehashing the same story over and over. Why should anyone care? Just shut it off and go look at new on the net or something. It has always bothered me that people can't tolerate 'too much' exposure to a topic they don't like.
Matty	(reply to southernyankee) posted 4-Mar-2005 5:58pm   Wow, I'll do my best, that's a weighty topic!!! It may take a day or so to craft it properly.
cerealkiller	(reply to LindaH) posted 4-Mar-2005 6:48pm   And, some topics here, like cock and ass ones get no slack. Sports topics fair poorly here also, and not unexpectedly since internet people are mostly geeks.
darkshadowsseeker	(reply to Biggles) posted 4-Mar-2005 8:15pm   I did the "hit me" survey. Did you still want me to set a topic for the next person?
LindaH	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 4-Mar-2005 8:20pm   I noticed media entertainment is wildly popular. no one gets tired of hearing about TV shows and singers.
Biggles	(reply to darkshadowsseeker) posted 4-Mar-2005 8:21pm   There's one set at the moment, ASB's: 12 step recovery programmes But you could always do that one and then set another challenge
darkshadowsseeker	(reply to Biggles) posted 4-Mar-2005 8:34pm   I don't know anything about 12 step programs. I have the "hit me" one in qual with 5 votes already.

kcthedog	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 5-Mar-2005 12:26am   Dude, where are your manners? If you were speaking to Biggles or ME for that matter in person would you address them in such a rude manner? The idea to” level up” the content is a good idea. For intelligent people, who have more on their mind than, cock, piss, and what ever filth rolls around in their heads.. Your ideas represent your ideals. You are free to continue to create surveys on any subject you like and it is anyone’s choice to participate. But you do not have the right to be rude or crass to anyone. I grantee you would not address me in person the way you do hiding behind a CRT. Show some respect, you might be surprised and receive some yourself.
kcthedog	posted 5-Mar-2005 1:09am   I wanna play but Martha Stewart is not a good subject for me, is it possible get a different one?
kcthedog	posted 5-Mar-2005 2:14am   To keep the challenge going I will supply the next keyword. That will be "garlic".
CarolL	posted 5-Mar-2005 7:01am   Okay, the topic for the next person is: Lighting Accessories (your choice to create a survey about a specific sub-group or one on this general topic)

cerealkiller	(reply to kcthedog) posted 5-Mar-2005 7:37pm   Dude? I don't know any 51 year old males calling anyone Dude, or are you a left-over hippie? Biggles didn't come back at me for anything I said, so why are you? "Your ideas represent your ideals." Never heard that before and can't say I'd agree with that. But, my main point is what you said in your next sentence - "You are free to continue to create surveys on any subject you like......". That's the bottom line for me. Creators should not have their surveys summarily criticized or deleted just because people don't like the topic, or maybe the language is crude. The way I see it - if the creator marks it "offensive" then anything goes, and any language, crude or not. You DO have the option of screening out offensive surveys. To put it simply - I'm just trying to defend anyone's basic right of free speech and freedom from undue censorship. Doesn't mean I'm a fan of cock and ass surveys. Just means I think it's wrong to automatically rate them or any survey low based on the topic. If you want to know the truth I mostly hate essay surveys of any category. Too lazy to bother with them. And, I've been around here for quite awhile, not as long as some, but longer than you, and more regularly. Most know I'm blunt, honest and say what I feel and some like that and some don't. Guess I'll put you in the "don't like it" category.
cerealkiller	(reply to Iseult) posted 5-Mar-2005 7:39pm   Yeah, but you'd have to tell us who she/it is first. I don't know a thing about her.
kcthedog	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 6-Mar-2005 6:17am   I am 51 going on 28, chronologically I may be 51 but most of my friends and most of my activities involve younger people. I am from the “Hippy generation” and quite proud of it thank you. I read Biggels response and she did take it very well. That doesn’t make your attitude and rudeness any less wrong. If your conversation were not public information it would be strictly between the two of you. Everyone here has to listen to it, and I find it personally offensive to address anyone partially a woman that way. “Who the FUDGE cares what you think anyway” is what you said. That is just plane rude. Yea it is all about freedom, and personal rights I agree. But, not at the expense of someone else. It is also about respect. You do know what respect is? Your statement itself shows you don’t care about anyone. Believe me your ideas do reflect your ideals, by definition. I don’t want a confrontation I just want harmony. You said that you thought SC was losing participants and becoming boring, you even hinted you were going else where to a different site, things were getting so bad. Do you think using offensive language being rude and intimidating is improving the situation? Biggles never suggested censorship, merely a shift in focus to mix things up abet. I would think based on your seemingly frustration with SC, that you would welcome new ideas. You also said all people who surf the Internet were nerds. These are the type of comments people are hearing from you. You need to “think” about what you say, and choose different ways to express yourself. Respect yourself and project a better image of who you are, to those on the other end of your keyboard. Just because people don’t say anything to you about your bluntness doesn’t mean they like it. Honesty has nothing to do with rudeness. There is a survey about verbal abuse you should check it out if you haven’t already, most everybody that replied to that survey would agree that what you were doing was verbally abusive. I haven’t heard anyone else speak to anyone else in the manner you did, to others. Why would that make it right for you? Finally, a survey using offensive language is not the same as speaking to someone that way. It is known that surveys will contain offensive language, reader beware, and that is expected. I do not think anyone here is expecting to be addressed in the manner you addressed Biggles. I certainly do not! Peace
kcthedog	(reply to Biggles) posted 6-Mar-2005 6:27am   I thought I was given Martha Stewart. I'll keep the topic even though it is not a good one for me , but thats the challenge, right? I've been thinking about it I want to make it interesting. I have a couple of ideas.
Iseult	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 6-Mar-2005 12:38pm   She's a singer. She was big in the beginning of 90's with 'Nothing Compares to U', but ever since she ripped a picture of pope on a late night TV show her popularity and fame went down.
cerealkiller	(reply to Iseult) posted 6-Mar-2005 12:47pm   I heard about the tv thing. That's all I know.
Biggles	(reply to kcthedog) posted 6-Mar-2005 12:48pm   "anyone partially a woman"?? Personally, I find the suggestion that a woman should be treated more daintily than a man more offensive than anything CK said. I appreciate your sentiment in trying to back me up, but it wasn't necessary.
Iseult	(reply to Biggles) posted 6-Mar-2005 12:52pm   Hey, I still don't know what I should do my survey on!

kcthedog	(reply to Biggles) posted 6-Mar-2005 2:43pm   My mother taught me to show courtesy and politeness, particularly towards women. Women are a little more refined then men when it comes to social graces. I would have taken the same stance if he were speaking to a man. I was also voicing my feelings. I hate to hear bickering, it is wasted energy better focused on building each other up not belittling to force a point. Correct me if I am wrong, in a public situation protocol is one of general courtesy. I may have over reacted but I did want him just to take a second to think about his choice of words. He could have expressed his idea completely without attacking you for wanting to do something different.
Biggles	(reply to kcthedog) posted 6-Mar-2005 3:02pm   I don't see anything all that wrong with what he said in the first place. I don't believe he was attacking me, but the idea that I had. I feel that he got the wrong end of the stick about what that idea was so I have no reason to take it personally anyway. I certainly didn't take it as an attack - more of a grumble.

Biggles	(reply to kcthedog) posted 6-Mar-2005 10:11pm   It's just a word - and it's not like he was describing me using it.

cerealkiller	(reply to Biggles) posted 7-Mar-2005 2:42pm   Yes, I just meant you didn't chew me out. Maybe KC didn't realize that you don't know who the creator of a survey is until after you vote/comment the first time. My comment was meant as more of a rhetorical outburst and not a direct attack on the creator (you). I stand by my conviction that all surveys are equal with regard to subject matter, be it penis surveys or highly intellectual ones. I only vote surveys bad if they're poorly worded, don't make sense or duplicate previous surveys. But that's me. I repeatedly see surveys score low just because of the subject presented. Wrong, wrong, wrong I say.
Biggles	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 7-Mar-2005 3:25pm   I agree about the rating. But then, this survey has been voted bad as well, and that also seems to be because of the subject presented!
Starfish	(reply to Biggles) posted 7-Mar-2005 3:49pm   Translating for Americans...are you American? I figured you were English cos of the name...

Starfish	(reply to romkey) posted 7-Mar-2005 3:51pm   Best do a good job It was the first thing that popped into my head, don't know what that says about me... I'll look out for it in qual
Biggles	(reply to Starfish) posted 7-Mar-2005 4:09pm   I am English But I have long experience at SC. There are lots of very intelligent Americans here who know a lot about international politics etc. but their mass media does tend to be very ethnocentric so it can be hard for them to find out what the current affairs are elsewhere. We on the other hand, tend to get a lot of their news reported here so it's generally easier to keep up. That's why surveys with a lot of US references tend to do better than those with lots of UK, Canadian, Dutch etc. references.
Starfish	(reply to Biggles) posted 7-Mar-2005 4:15pm   I guess so! But I still don't know what a tootsie pop is, I feel v. left out. Have you been promoted? You've got an SC thingy next to your name. I am quite new... they've taken off my "New" rating though, and I wish they hadn't, I'm still not sure what I'm doing!
Biggles	(reply to Starfish) posted 7-Mar-2005 4:23pm   I'm not too sure about a Tootsie Pop, although I did get sent a Tootsie Roll to try. It's a kind of very, very sweet candy. I think the "How many licks..." is part of its slogan or something as it seems to get quoted everywhere. My "SC thingy" is an icon to show that I'm a subscriber. You can pay Bill $20 a year and you get the adverts removed, the cool icon (silver for when you have under a year's subscription left, gold if you've paid for more than a year in one go). You also get the satisfaction of knowing you're supporting SC (and Bill). I've been here nearly 5 years now and spend a lot of internet time here, so subscribing is really worth it for me. I can still see your "New" rating!
Starfish	(reply to Biggles) posted 7-Mar-2005 4:30pm   Yes, it is still there! When will it go? Today is a very proud day for me... I'm sure you'll understand ... I'm in the Top Twenty! 19, but hoping to climb
Biggles	(reply to Starfish) posted 7-Mar-2005 4:36pm   I'm not sure how long it will last - the symbol is pretty new itself. A couple of weeks at least I think.

southernyankee	(reply to cerealkiller) posted 8-Mar-2005 1:14am   You dont think there's no duplicity happening?
southernyankee	(reply to kcthedog) posted 8-Mar-2005 1:37am   My mother taught me to show courtesy and politeness, particularly towards women. Women are a little more refined then men when it comes to social graces. DUDE, I am not exactly what women you're talking about, but based on that comment alone, my guess would have been that you are from a previous generation. on the issue of saying "fudge" in front of a woman these days doesnt seem like a big deal, specially considering their tendency to use it as well. I take it that neither your mom nor any other adult women you knew cursed. Besides, since this is the internet, people tend to be more faceless (which makes rudeness (and honestly as well) more acceptable) and also tend to be more gender-blind as well, which pretty much erases all inhitions about curssing and women and such. on the issue of cerialkiller, he does come off as rude sometimes, but I think its more honesty and bullcrap cutting than anything. Sort of like "yes, you do look fat in that dress, but thats ok really, because I dont really care cause I either gotten used to it or dont expect to get anyone else" sort of deal. Also take into account his dogy, crazy assed wife. Dude, if you were married to a woman who had pms every 10 minutes, you'd probabbly wouldnt be a nice friendly hippie either. Give ck a break. on the issue of survey drowning, its the dublicity that bothers me moreso than the subject (or even the immaturity isnt really that bad). Besides, if there's anything that does offend me about these surveys, is that they give trolling a bad name. Trolling is supposed to be a refined art form, not stupid crap like this. (ok, who are we fudging kidding, perhaps it isnt an art form at all, but thats besides the point) The more people dog about this and name drop the situation, the more they inflate the egos of trolls. So in that sense, there's not even a challenge in this, but never-the-less, the trollmister has succeded. Too bad for him that succeeding with women isnt going as well The drowning issue seems ligit since it doesn't actually censor anyone and is merely expressing more of a voice of your own. Besides, I am in favor of anything that promotes creativity, be it a cock survey or a survey about this and that.

kcthedog	(reply to southernyankee) posted 9-Mar-2005 8:20am   To answer the generation question, I would be from an earlier generation that yourself. I do not know about Biggles, but it appears Ceralkiller and myself are from the same generation. You are correct about women from my generation, they were not looked upon as ladies if they cursed let alone used the “F” word. If a woman said that word in a room of people out loud it would bring the room to silence. I never really cursed much growing up ether. We saved it till we were really pissed. People knew you were serious when you started throwing cuss words around. The women I was referring to was, all women. As far as Cerealkiller goes, (hopefully he is reading this) I overreacted, not that my thoughts about what he said have changed. But I failed to make the adjustment to the current generation. What you said about “fudge” and every other obscene word, is correct, we are so desensitized to them that they do not hardly have any meaning anymore. Biggles made it very clear to me that she wasn't affected by what was said and seemed even a little resentful that I would feel she needed someone to stand up for her. (tough girl!) When I read the comment, that Cerealkiller wrote I just did not understand why he could not have used different words to express himself. Just recently we had a survey about verbal abuse, a very good survey. Using those comments as an example almost everyone polled would have called what Cerealkiller was doing was verbally abusive. Given that, why would someone want to perpetuate what was agreed was hurtful and capable of scaring someone. It might seem farfetched when you take in the context of text on a computer. If Biggles was not offended, I can still guarantee that she wasn’t flattered ether. I appreciate that “CK” is blunt and shoots from the hip, but I think if he were to read his comments before he sent them, chances are good he would choose different wording sometimes.(maybe not) That is true for most everyone, even myself. When I am angry and want to go off on someone, I don’t. I will go write it out first, read it a dozen times, edit it and refine it. After I feel I expressed my self completely, and without losing my cool, I will give that person a written copy. I will avoid verbal communication until he has read what I gave him. This forces him to hear me out completely without yelling and interruptions. It saves time and helps not to be misunderstood. (Doesn’t always work) But it has better odds than a direct confrontation. When it comes to survey content, I have no objection to anything, except surveys that are so juvenile and plain stupid. I know I can pass right over them but I get embarrassed that some of the people I am expecting to have intelligent dialog with, are generating surveys that don’t have any value. The wording Biggles used when she said “drowning” was a bad choice. Any description that inferred censorship should have been avoided. A more accurate description would have implied creativity and something new. But there is always something good that can be made out of any situation. I learned something about my fellow survanians, we all exchanged ideas, hopefully no one was offended to bad. And maybe now there is a greater respect for each other that can felt. Lastly, the cock surveys, I challenge anyone that decides to make a “cock” survey to at least make it interesting, informative, creative or really funny, not stupid or juvenile.

I do not know about Biggles, but it appears Ceralkiller and myself are from the same generation." True, there is a generational gap in there somewhere's but I dont completely buy into the notion that its all about generation either. ck doesn't seem to have an ethical issue with cursing in front of women and he's from your generation. Also, his wife, according to ck, can go from normal to superdog in a matter of seconds. Yes I know, she might not be all allright in there or whatever, but thats besides the point. I mean I've known plenty of women from your generation to curse a good bit, so I am not exactly sure where you get the "they were ladies" from. Maybe when they were little girls or your mom maybe. That rule certainly diddnt seem to apply to your geneation any more that it doesnt apply to mine. As far as using profanity sparingly, I tend to agree, cause if people overuse words, they lose their meaning. As far at this being verbal abuse, I guestion that. First off, allthough I didnt see the comment (it think they've changed it by now) my guess is that it was taken out of context. Secondly, this is the internet we're talking about, so people dont get all wind up when someone curres at them. Its not nearly the same thing as when they yell at you in your face. Anyway if you think that was bad, you should have been here back when kaleb777 was still around. Him and brian (he's frostband now) would go at it. It was possibly sc's biggest flame war ever. As far as cock surveys, they are a bit juvilnile but they tolable.

patarnone	posted 27-Mar-2005 7:43am   I am a new member of this group, and over the last week, have come up with a few survey ideas of my own! I can hardly wait to get some sleep (you all KNOW how this site leads one deep into the wee morning hours) so my brain can formulate some adequate adventure for everyone.
