I have been a little unhappy with how we have been doing our monthly survey for some time, so I am making some steps towards making a better one.
It will no longer use an outside source (google forms), instead it will be using our own database so you can be 100% sure there's no google tracking involved. This was a complaint I saw a few times, so I am happy to remove it.
People wanted some of it to be automated, so that is going to happen, but the key is how we will do that.
I am first going to expand the profile system here on GOL with some key information about your computer. So you will be able to list your CPU/GPU vendor on your profile for example.
What I am looking to do is when the survey is open, it will prompt you to make sure your profile is up to date and then allow you to go to the new survey page.
It will still remain anonymous since the actual results won't send your GOL user_id (if you're logged in), and we don't take any other personal info from you anyway.
It will have a static page to link to on other sites, so people can still do it without even being a member on GOL.
What are your thoughts on such a system? It probably wouldn't be ready for another month at the earliest (probably longer), as I have lots of other things to fix up on GOL and other features that may be more useful (more info on those in another post soon). Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
