Hello everyone.. You are voluntarily invited to participate in our survey. It doesn't sound interesting? No incentive! Sincere apology if this is annoying. Truly appreciate for you voluntarily involvement. Our survey is available Here. We are from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and we are conducting a research on motivation of crowdsourced users. We would like your help to obtain some information about your experiences and perceptions on crowdsourcing. You may be assured of complete confidentiality. Your personal data will be protected, and we won't use any names in our report. The report will be kept within our institute for record purpose. You will be asked to acknowledge a consent form of your participation for this survey. Thank you for taking time to participate in this questionnaire session about users' motivation on crowdsourcing which will be just 15-20 minutes.
Hey look, they created an account to bump the thread and say positive things about the $0.00 survey they've offered.
Astroturfing, as they call it. Although usually people try to be smarter about it, and have the account make a couple of shitty generic posts (like "you have a great point!") elsewhere in the forum before trying to sell their garbage.
I hope you enjoy the data you get! Should be fun to see what answers you get considering you expect people to work for free.
somehow non profit study about crowdsourcing will benefit crowdsourcing communities in future. Hope you all enjoyed. survey is available Here.
