A Reminder To Fill Out Our February Survey

By -
This is just a mid-month reminder for all those who missed our survey this month or haven’t got round to filling it in yet.

You can find this month’s questionnaire here. Please make sure you haven't filled this month's in already, if in doubt check if the unique questions seem familiar ;).

Please remember that the questions are in relation to your activity last month, so you should leave any distro/hardware changes you made this month for the next survey.

Also if you have already filled it out this month then thank you and there’s no need for you to do it again.

You can find the data from last month here (with fancy new graphs) and results for Steam’s hardware survey here. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

About the author -
After many years of floating through space on the back of a missile, following a successful career in beating people up for not playing Sega Saturn, the missile returned to earth. Upon returning, I discovered to my dismay that the once great console had been discontinued and Sega had abandoned the fight to dominate the world through 32-bit graphical capabilities.

After spending some years breaking breeze blocks with my head for money and being mocked by strangers, I have found a new purpose: to beat up people for not playing on Linux.

It's 'cause the primary article that advertises this month's survey is focused on last month's results.
Imo you should have an article dedicated purely to remind people to take the survey for this month, and also implement some of your other checks to make sure survey results are duplicated.

Quoting: PozzuoliThe final question regarding AAA games is misleading. Every option suggests that I *have* bought a AAA game on launch day, which is not true. (FWIW I selected "average".)
+1. I've never even seriously considered buying an AAA game on launch day.

Quoting: liamdaweSounds like a plan, as something automatic like an I.P would be great, and simply telling them they have already done it, and preventing them doing it again would be fab.

Edit > I guess one day I should whip up a quick GOL Survey feature so we don't even need to use outside stuffs. I need to implement our basic poll feature for articles first though I think.

I guess I'll wait on that then, It will be nice to see it integrated at some point and solves a lot of issues while creating new possibilities :). As long as it can produce .csv files then the graph making program Fedso made, it would trump Google Forms.

For now I think I'm going to do the following:

1 - Change the colour of the form (switch between pink and blue because those are the options) every month so it's easier to distinguish between surveys and hopefully prevent some repeats until we have some form of IP logging.

2 - Have the "new survey available" and "survey results" as two separate articles to avoid further confusion. (this also helps me a bit because it means the results don't always have to come out on the 1st and have a bit of flexibility there)

3 - See if sobkas can create a different article image for results to distinguish the two articles even more.

4 - Continue doing this reminder article and hope that the above changes prevent confusion.
