3. Claim to be 3 students & that the survey is approved by Admins. |
|
Got a @pitt.edu addy. Seems like Skinner should/would have mentioned something like this.

4. Nope. I never get PMs from anyone but Skinner. |
|
And even then they're standard form-letter PMs.
I feel so unloved ... :cry:

It seems like Skinner would say something about this instead of just approving particular members to receive PM's from this group.

7. I agree. I aint doing it until I hear from Admin. |
|
Says survey will take 15 minutes, asks about age, gender, participation level, political orientation, plus my views of relationships at DU. Says email them before asking Skinner about it. Not very malevolent feeling, but ...

Wouldn't any reputable polling people have gone to Skinner first themselves? :shrug:

I might have chosen a different title for the PM, but yes it is legit.

28. You SOB. I have depended on you since 2002. This has been my home. |
|
And now you pull this on us, and on me, with an illiterate explanation, at a place I expected you to protect us.
I have backed you, fought for you, fought for us, for thousands of posts. And now you do this.
Enjoy your 30 pieces of silver. Goddammit, I can't believe you pulled this on us, and you know I've been a backer, and a donor.
I shall miss DU. Go ahead and ban me. You will be doing both of us a favor.

Go for it, if you like. Nothing like this has ever appeared here before, and we were not prepped for this garbage in any way, shape or form.
No, it's not too strong.

42. You don't like the survey, don't participate. This sounds like people ranting against the googleads |
|
or whatever they are that I have blocked. Or complaining about links people put in their sig lines. Those are voluntary also.
I agree that Skinner should have made an announcement first, and have sent a message asking him to do so now. I also think you should contact him since you feel so strongly about it, rather than posting an insulting post.
My recommendations.

37. It is a voluntary survey. I don't see what the problem is. What did they pull? What? |
|
You don't have to take it. What did they pull? Seriously. What? Allowed someone to join DU to ask if people wanted to take a survey? What is the problem? This is a serious question, am trying to understand. Thanks.

53. Thank you for your answer. I guess you took it then. |
|
I did also. I made as much sense as others I've taken elsewhere, some questions leading, some without a good answer.
It was voluntary though, so no one has to take it. That is my point. Have you written to Skinner directly about it? PM him from his reply in this thread (think it is this thread). I did since I have questions also.
