Phil Deakins Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Not in the slightest, Drake, because I'd just walk past and into the pub every time. Just like I walk past most surveys in the forum; i.e. the moment I see what it is, I ignore it because I generally don't do surveys. How difficult is that?

Phil Deakins Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Then I'd simply shake my head, or just say "No", and walk on. Nobody can annoy anyone on the street like that unless the person wants to get annoyed. And nobody can annoy anyone in the forum by posting a survey, again unless the person wants to get annoyed. It's not as if it's 'our' forum and other people aren't allowed to post here. It's not 'our' forum and anyone with an account can post in it. And it's not as if posting a survey forces anyone to respond. Responding, both good and bad, is by personal choice. It really isn't difficult to ignore threads that have no interest for us. We do it all the time. Such threads don't get in anybody's way, and they don't force anyone to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 If that's true, Tex, then it's a very poor reflection on people in the U.S. It's not alright to be intolerant. Intolerance is a badness. But I don't believe that intolerance is the norm over there. I think that we can all show intolerance given the circumstance, because nobody is perfect, and that some people (the less perfect ones) are likely to show it sooner than others. No Tex, being a U.S. citizen does not excuse the intolerance that some people show to those who post surveys here. Neither would it excuse any intolerance shown towards the hypothetical people doing surveys outside pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is like saying the reverse and lumping agroup of people into a category where in all honesty it only represents a handful. I agree, it is not an excuse or IMO valid or true.

The survey takers are not out front. You must choose to open and read their posts, and nobody will know if you do that or not . They don't survey us every day. Your analogy is a stretch, Drake. Though when I walked through the local shopping mall years ago, there always seemed to be a surveyist with a clipboard in the central court. S/he was so easy to avoid that I thought nothing of it. I do know someone who complained about those mall surveys. When I suggested that she was not compelled to take them, she scoffed at me. I'm in agreement with Phil on this. It's so easy to avoid the students and their surveys that not doing so in order to berate them says more about us than the students. I have read three papers by students who've come here to ask questions, two were undergraduate term papers, the other a Master's Thesis. All were well done. If SL is worth studying, it'll be studied.

Your analogy equates to getting IMs. I've never got an IM asking me to take a survey. I have no interest in lolas or fat asses, but seeing the endless questions about them here in the forum doesn't bother me in the least. Why don't we get upset over the countless SL residents who pile into the forum, one after another, asking where their stipend is? A cursory scan of the thread titles would tell them they're flogging a dead horse. If the students are lazy and oblivious, they're in good company. I could not blame anyone for wondering if/why we're hypersensitive about SL surveys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone kept IMing me, I'd do something about it. But that's not what's happening with student surveys. Posting a survey in the forum is not like receiving an IM. Once an IM window pops up, I know someone is expecting a reply from me and I must do something to address it, even if that's only dismissing the IM window. A survey post in the forums does not get in my way. It requires no expenditure of time or energy on my part. There is no need to dismiss it. I ignore it, as I do for the majority of posts here. I think Drake's analogy was a stretch, and your recasting of it is heading even further in the wrong direction. If you don't know whether you're a bad person, you're probably not.

Drake's idea of someone outside a pub every day isn't analogous to the survey threads here, because it doesn't happen every day or every week here and, when it does happen, nobody approaches you asking if you'll do their survey. Nobody. The pub people wouldn't annoy me because it only lasts for about 1 second each time, literally, as I say "no" and walk into the pub. That really shouldn't annoy anyone.

Where's the outrage over Hippie's "Where are all my friends?" thread, which contains thousands of posts of no interest to almost everyone here? That one i will answer.. Hippie is just being mellow and having fun, chit chatting about anything under the sun and inviting friendships to blossom. Surveys scream at ignorance and wanting us to fill out asinine questionnaires that usually have no bearing on SL and are the most basic inane questions about things anyone that spent 5 minutes in SL would know. (one of them asked how much we eat and exercise in SL to stay fit... seriously.) I don't think we would mind them so much if they were well thought out and pertinent to SL. How many of them are generic MMORPG questions? One that have nothing to do with SL. Hell, one of them was full of WoW questions and when this was pointed out they said "It's the same thing." The biggest gripe is the students treat us like it's our problem they have the wrong questions. They want us to tailor the questionnaire to fit SL. That is their job.
