venting, so excuse my frustration
« on: November 24, 2011, 04:40:29 pm »
I just took some hour long survey for organic food products.  This monster of a survey went on forever and had to throw every conceivable slogan at me to be evaluated on multiple points.  Finally after getting through this most annoying thing and answering the 'classification purposes only' questions, I get the results "Sorry but your answers were not the ones we were looking for".  What the hell I was honest and this is exactly what I should have expected from some liberal agenda such as 'organic' farming on a wide scale.  Give them the truth and they refuse your answers so they can show their polls that only contain the kool aid answers they wanted in the first place.  The should have put arrows by the choices they wanted me to pick and phrases to use within the 'why do you say this' boxes.

vent over, thank you for your patience, now multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of the torment I just had to suffer through.

Whoo~ you too!? :o I also have taken the survey regarding organic farming this afternoon. Yes it was a slow, long survey and have wasted my time to complete it all the way through to the end, and only to find I was disqualified based upon the classification I provided. I thought to myself at least it would be nice to be credited for our penny’s worth (0.1 cent) of our time and effort! :BangHead: ;D

I DID IT TOO
And it tried to do that too - I pressed backspace and hit the submit button like 2-3 times but it finally went to the 'thanks for completing' page from the survey site (Giveusyour2cents). Got my $.60 as well.
I knew it must be some error, because yeah, that shouldn't have happened at all, since it was at the end of the survey.

I think contact should probably be made to Fusioncash and the survey site you took it on.


I agree with the frustration though based purely on the length :P Probably the longest survey I've ever taken.

Wow sorry others had similar experiences.  That thing was ghastly.  I mean when they asked what I thought about that one part with the slogan "The Power of One" I was thinking to  myself "are they for real?"

Annoying when they ask the classification questions at the end of the survey.  When they find out I am a White 30 something my opinion suddenly loses its value.

That's why I stopped doing surveys.  I got tired of taking so much time giving out my information only to not qualify.   :bs:  It makes me uneasy to share so much and frustrated to not qualify.  If I don't get paid for the attempt I'm not interested.

It's bad enough when you get halfway through a survey and you find you are screened out - to complete the whole thing and told you gave the wrong answers?  that's just ridiculous.  Because it happened more than once with that same survey you might want to give FC the heads up on this one.
End the suffering!  Get your cats - and all strays and ferals - spayed and neutered!

vent over, thank you for your patience, now multiply it by infinity, and take it to the depth of forever, and you will still have barely a glimpse of the torment I just had to suffer through.

* I am very sorry to hear of everyone's frustration, but I do thank you for the heads up tho, I was going to do that one!  Take care!!!

I got hosed on this one early this morning.  Looks like a lot of other folks getting hosed as well.

Maybe FC can put a red flag or a note beside that daily survey box to give people some warning about this one.
