There was a social media survey. It didn't have that at the top, but it did ask me if I have a twitter account. I do, so I answered yes and I was disqualified. I'm guessing they wanted people who didn't do social media.

That is over the top and could have been worded better.

Wow, I've never seen that particular message on a survey. I think there is a much more polite way that they could have made that disclaimer. Something to the effect of..."Be advised that Twitter account information will be verified. Any falsified information will result in disqualified surveys."

No, I hadn't seen that.....some folks just feel compelled to create a bad vibe, don't they.  But, it gives me the creeps to know they are peeping in my drawers so I don't do any of the ones that ask me sign in with a social media site.  I mean, I know they are tracking me with cookie crumbs but why make it easy on them!! Sneaky little b's.

I think the survey panel that host the survey should be more in question... A legit survey panel will not have surveys that will bull**** users like that

I have never received a response like that when doing surveys.  I have answered the twitter account question and I have posted over 200 posts on Twitter so I had no problem with that issue.  I get tired of being disqualified because I am not of Hispanic origin.  If that is who they want to answer, they need to ask that for the first question until about 1/4 to 1/2 way through.
Have a wonderful day!

That is rather snippy. But don't take it personally.

 :) Maybe you have "shifty eyes."  ;) Bummer, just quit the survey and realize it is the computer doing it and not some person.  :)

Sensitivity gone to the max!! Why would one take such as a personal affront? The survey was only making a statement to everyone, taking it as a personal insult is childish to say the least. If one is offended by the simple statement of fact, they have a serious problem. I guess it is just part of people being convinced that they are always some sort of victim. Thank you Political Correctness advocates.

I probably would have had a reaction to that statement in a survey, although they could have worded it differently.  I have seen so many surveys, however, that are so screwed up it's hard to know what to answer.  I have discontinued taking surveys for the most part.  I question the authenticity of most of them, and I get disqualified (because of my age) from the rest.

No I have never seen this. But I don't think it's anything to get upset about. Yes they could word it differently. But move on and do the next survey.

I'm with you.  I simply close the survey and move on.
