Does it annoy you that people say "wees" when they rate other peoples surveys?

It sure bothers me, I'm not even sure what it exactly means.

It means, What Everybody Else Said. In other words, it's what you say when you have an issue or a suggestion for a survey in Qual, but several other users, if not all of them, have already suggested the same thing or some variation of it.

I coined the phrase, so if you have issues, take 'em up with me. Just remember the first rule of Fight Club before you show up.  * wink *

I told the sc what wees meant in qual and that you were the one that coined it.

No, this survey matter has been covered in many other surveys I for one had to ask this in the forum part of this site What everyone else says...you just had to ask......... I am marking this survey good because it should not be below a 50 rating

Yeah... it sucks when you make a decent survey, but it gets held up qual by minor nitpicks and such. Especially, when other people support the minor gripe with a wees vote. Basically, whenever I make a few surveys, I get pissed off at the way people act in qual. It's a pain in the ass to make a survey, qual makes it even harder. In comparison, it's just too easy to vote with a wees. ... It motivates me to change the way qual works, but I haven't thought of a good way to change it.

mmmmmmm but is that not what qual is for?...... I very very rarely use "wees" but i agree with you I voted a survey reasonable today even though it had a minor spelling mistake

No, but it bothers me when people use possessives incorrectly. It's only one distinguishable case and it's like everybody on purpose tries to get it wrong.

Bad Survey.

I so rarely go into Qual that it tends not the have a chance to bother me. I don't know if it would bother me if I participated in Qual regularly.

It annoys me the same way "anyway" does. It is dismissive. Say something or don't say it. "what everyone else said" is just a copout and so often people "wees" the most minor things. But as Bill said (who by the way doesn't like it either) it's nothing to get bent about. I just ignore the wees now.  * wink *

Yeah it does really annoy me. It would be fine if they typed it all out, But I get really pissed of when I see acronyms. Seems to me like it's supposed to take less time just saying the letters or just writing the letters, but then you have to tell everyone what the hell it means. It seems like it takes more time to me.

Someone suggested making qual votes visible only to the survey creator... then, the qualifiers would not know what others said, thus no wees possible.

Although I'm sure that the person who suggested this did not intend to insult, I'm choosing to take it that way anyway.

no because i understand what it means and that sometimes its neccecery so people dont have to repeat things over and over, also if alot of people say that they agree with "what everyone else said" then maybe the creator will get the idea to change it/how to change it, shows that more than one person has a certain perspective/opinion
