Hey all... Not trying to spam anyone, but [INSERT MARKET RESEARCH FOR FICTITIOUS SCHOOL CLASS HERE]
The link was not market research, nor is my class fictitious. I have explained this to site admin. Perhaps a quick personal message to explain board etiquette regarding outside links would have been more appropriate.
I did not see that post, but you have to understand, particularly as an Educational Leadership and Policy Studies student, that the whole "I'm researching for a class" schtick has been used to death by people with far less qualified credentials. We are not lab rats and frankly we've come to the conclusion that there is no community upside to helping people like yourself and the literally countless others before you do their independent research on us or our community. It may not be entirely your fault, you may have no visibility to the number of data mining 'researchers' who have come before you and none have left our world a better place for it. Half the time (at best) it goes into papers we'll never see and the other half is data collection for corporate interests trying to better exploit subculture.
It isn't 100% you, don't take it personally, but at this point, across many of the sites I'm involved in, the standard response to "Hi, I've got a class, let me ask you a lot of questions..." is simply ef-off, why should we give you that?
Thanks for the reply. I totally appreciate your position. And you are right, I should know better - especially having been a site admin and developer in a previous life. Data mining wasn't as prevalent back then. Just for the record, it was one question about the best sci-fi soundtrack.Quote:
