If there were a limit on the amount of surveys made per person, would you object?

This is a suggestion/question.
If there were a limit on the amount of surveys made per person, would you object? For instance, someone could only post 1 per week. And if this was made, how would holes in the plan, like registering multiple names, be plugged?

You can require registrants to provide a working email address in order to register. Some people will have multiple email addresses to use, but fewer than the total number of names they can think up. (And I have to say that I continue to dislike comments like "I'm getting sick of constantly filling out just to clear my screen." I mean, nobody's being forced to download this web page, except possibly jen.)***Oh, come on; "download" is not a word?

What would be the point?

Bill should also introduce a faster way, like checkbox forms, in order to hide multiple questions at a time instead of clicking links over and over..

it sorta sucks when you leave for 1 week, and find 20+ surveys.

Often people get ideas in batches, I don't want to restrict that. I used to freak out when people post > 5 surveys at a time. Now I think it's fine. I think Survey Central should be able to cope with it, allowing users to manage the influx of new questions without hassle. *** Ken, I do see that as an issue. What I've done recently is to sort not-voted-on surveys by approval rating - thus, you get the best first. I used to do the checkbox thing - but it confused people, CGI is a fairly limiting medium.

I don't like the idea of limiting by user, since some users never make up questions and others do it all the time and I don't think a quota system would change that. I tend to not write any for a while and then write a bunch when my head's in that space (like once a month I write three). I don't feel as though the volume of surveys is really a problem here or that anyone feels stifled. Do others perceive this as a problem?

if people are abusing the system by submitting 10,000 surveys a day, they should be warned, and then nuked. I liked SC much better when there was a smaller group of people, but I guess the more people, the more useful it is. I have to say, some of the more recent members of OUR LITTLE FAMILY here . . . well, leave something to be desired.

Eh? Bill, thanks. It seems new surveys will be held in the main menu for longer now.

as long as the questions are good, the number of surveys isn't a problem

I think some people should be limited, those that create bad surveys (hint hint)

Why? I don't see that many surveys being added these days... As for the second part, I'm not a computer person, so I don't know. But my guess is, if people want to do it, they will find a way. Ken Shingo, why would you want this when you yourself have just added three surveys in a week?

Why to limit? I see no reason, and you know, there are many tricks...

It wouldn't affect me, but if there were only a couple of people posting really creative surveys, and their postings were limited, it might not be a good idea.

I would object. If someone is being a continual schmuck, bill can just nuke his account. (It's bill's sandbox, after all)

Clever agent filtering to limit how many surveys from a given person you saw would be fine, though, so long as it could be disabled if I wanted to see them all.

If you don't like a survey, hide it! Why limit them? I'm stuck in a boring job right now, have completed over 200 surveys in the last week, and want as many new ones as possible.
