    So I was just modded for posting a survey in the off topic forums. I don't get it. How does asking for help on a survey equate to spamming? I asked the same question on Giantbomb and got 20 responses in an hour and started a discussion on the topic. Here I get modded within five minutes. Like seriously, this site seems to do everything in its power to piss off users. I posted the survey in off-topic. It wasn't Spam it was a user asking for some help from fellow members. If this were any other site I would have gotten a dozen responses. Here it's a moderation. How was what I posted in any way hurting anyone? Maybe some people would have wanted to take my survey. Even if no one did, would it hurt to keep it open just to humor me? Talk about a piss poor community. Thanks for nothing.

    It's something to do with corporate policy or something like that. They fear that surveys could be used to gather personal data (it's happened many times before, apparently), so we've been tasked with keeping them off the site unless given the go-ahead by the staff. You could try asking one of the admins about re-posting it. They're usually pretty good about that stuff.

    I already reveived plenty of answers from Giantbomb but thanks. The survey was anonymous and we weren't collecting any sort of personal data beyond what was asked in the survey.
