The BOARDWORLD Forums ran from 2009 to 2021 and are now closed and viewable here as an archive
i have a school project i need your help with i need 70 people to fill out this 24 question survey it would be great if you could take this survey
https://docs.google.com/a/d155.org/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEYzdlpybG12MFZVQjRjWU1Nem1nZ1E6MQ#gid=0
pleaseee help me
Did it for you, mate.
Welcome to Boardworld
Done, and welcome.
If you start doing these surveys then youre going to get an influx of people posting them and contributing nothing back to the community. Note that this is the
posters first post.
Other forums enforce a strict policy of only filling these out if the poster submits a video of themselves explaining the survey. I would suggest a similar criteria here for them to prove they aren’t just using the forums for easy essay content.
Theres no way I’m going to do your survey with only one post on boardworld - SPAMMER!
Very close to moving this to spam section if the poster doesn’t get back here and contribute more to BW!
School Project!!!!
AT THIS TIME OF YEAR
If only Aus had summer school!

Thanks for the lecture but I had a great time doing this survey.
HA you are missing a great chance to take the piss! go on you know want to!
If you read the thing, it was obvious the dude is from the nthn hemisphere, so school is still in & they only have a relatively short break over winter (same way we have our short school hols in winter). I have no problem with helping a kid get material for his assignment, without him having to contribute to boardworld. It took me about 4 minutes and I’ve helped the kid out. If you don’t want to fill it out, don’t fill it out.
Most kids wouldn’t personally know 70 snowboarders to fill out their survey. I have no issue with him asking here, without submitting a video explaining it!
No big deal, and certainly not worth moving to spam.
I wouldnt normally so these for first posters, but as with Crackers, i took the absolute piss out of it lol
I wouldn’t mind filling it out;
but clicking on a link that “says” its a school project posted by a one time only visitor, who doesn’t use any grammer (none, zero, ziltch) is risky. They should fail for not spelling “I” properly.
As SamNZ pointed out it may also encourage more of this activity. And bring more spam to BW.
I hope it was legit and not just some agency fishing for info on Aussie snowboarder and website ip addresses for spambots. Or a professional researcher who is paid to reach a benchmark of 70 snowboarders before they get paid.
How can we know? Since this person has posted no info about who they are.
The first thing I did was look at their profile, I knew they were NthHe (Crytal Lake) spelt without capitals, they took 3mins to register, and spent 2mins on BW.
School project to be completed over Xmas break! Really?
The first identifier of a spam is no grammar. Even a 7yo knows to start a sentence with capital letters.
The first post reeks of spam. I get enough spam-mail that needs blacklisting.
Unless something looks legit I; DON’T CLICK THE LINK
While I generally agree with you spaz, and am not going to bother clicking the link, is it really worth all the effort to tell people in detail why they shouldn’t fill the form out?
If it saves athe mods spending time moving spam and Jeremy blocking ip addresses. Yes.
is it really worth all the effort to tell people in detail why they shouldn’t fill the form out?
I agree Dan!!!!!
You either fill it out for the guy, or don’t!!!!! Take the piss, or take it seriously!!!!! Pretty easy!!!!!
He’s not sellin anything, nor do you have to commit to anything?????
Not sure, as I didn’t fill it out either!!!!!
I don’t see a forum benefitin from attackin some random person, that most likely only came across this forum because of the assignment that they had to do, then gettin a whole heap of negative comments from the current users!!!!!
If anythin, that scares off anyone from even signin up and askin a simple question, in the fear of some venom gettin spat in their faces!!!!!
I appreciate that you’ve pointed out how my posts come across as condemning doing the survey.
I need to work on a less condecending style.
No offence meant guys.
Love and Chrissy cheer,
spaz
but guys, they are getting such valuable research out of us! With deano and crackers on the case, how can they not be pleased with the survey results?
Q23. In your opinion what is the biggest problem with snowboards?
The biggest problem with snowboards is that they can not fly and they refuse to make me dinner, although to be fair that is actually two problems. It is also annoying when they get surly and grumpy towards the end of the day and make me crash repeatedly. Actually no, the biggest problem is that they sterilise all stock boards so they cannot breed and I am then forced to buy my boards from a registered snowboard breeder.
