Format for surveys
« on: August 21, 2012, 07:18:36 pm »
I wish before we would start a survey we could see the format ahead of time to see if we qualify.Many are tired going halfway thru it and then telling us thanx but no thanx.

What about it Fusion Cash.....many of us here wanna be fair and work the surveys right but dont wanna waste our time being disqualified time after time.

Is there a better way?

EX:If a 60 year old man knows ahead of time knows his age and gender are going to disqualify him he would never sign up for it.One example.And of course there are many more.

The 'suggestion' is not workable from the survey=provider's point of view because it essentially reveals the criteria parameters in advance, (which would allow for potential dishonesty in thoswe who simply tailor their responses to fit any criteria).

One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

Of course that makes sense Falcon and i understand that,but they need to compromise a better way to the many that are willing to participate in the surveys honestly because they get shafted unfairly.

Vetting for demographic criteria does not constitute getting "shafted" by the survey-providers.  Since they 'write the checks', survey-providers are the ones who decide what demographic criteria they're looking for, not those who want an advance look at pre-qualifying, (or qualifying), parameters.
