Research respondents needed from Brighton- nightlife/lapdance survey

I am a researcher based at the University of Kent = I am not a student & I am not a market researcher

And then goes on to describe funded research into the social dimensions to a topic which many here would, I thought, have supported us knowing more about.
 
I only vaguely know about this project but there's multiple strands to it and I'm fairly certain that's one of them. Don't be a presumptuous dickhead.
 
Did the ESRC funding application seriously say "we will invite responses to the survey on random internet forums"?
 
Did you write that just to taunt me because I asked you not to be a presumptuous dickhead in my last post?

Or more politely: why do you think it's 'wrong' to conduct research online?
 
OK, it's only state funded research with apparently poor methodology, best let them carry on spending the money.
 
Explain 'apparently poor methodology'? What do you know about the project beyond what you've (wrongly) inferred from the opening post that offended you ever so much?

I actually did they survey FWIW. I'm too overcome with presumptuous offence to go into detail on its deficiencies right now.
 
Or if you stay, perhaps go as far as to say what the glaringly obvious inadequacies were to you that the project term missed when they developed it? Given you were so rude to one of them, I think the least you could do is give them the benefit of your insight, no?
 
No, in all seriousness, I think you were rude to her. The rest is 50% wind up 50% angry prodding with words.

I get that though I think you need to broaden the definition of what's excluded. I'm just a bit more taken aback by the needless hostility in people's reactions.

The definition is simple. These are community discussion boards. Rocking up to invite people to participate on unrelated, off board, paid surveys has nothing to do with discussion or community.

From the FAQ: "Please note that these are discussion boards and not a free resource for journalists/students/market researchers."

I'll put an 'etc' in there if it bothers you that much.
 
Plus the arrogance of saying "massive failings in their design and implementation" and "apparently poor methodology" when I've yet to see any evidence that you have any real knowledge about these things. If you do then by all means explain what the problem was. If you don't then do you not think it's a bit fucking rude to write off a year of someone's work like that on the basis of something you know fuck all about?

Please don't imply I'm being prissy, a friend came to post on here with good intentions and got a really unpleasant reaction. I do think that's a problem with the disclaimer as stands. How about add "/ academic researchers /" in as well to make clear that applies? I honestly don't think it's obvious that it does unless you, well, actually say it.

The only person I've responded to on this thread is you, by directly quoting your posts, so I don't know where you got that idea from.

You've dissed the project repeatedly without one offering a reason for it. You implied she was a lazy studente. You also said that every survey ever posted on urban is severely deficient.

This is why I've been called you a presumptuous dickhead for the last 20 minutes. Does that make more sense now?

It says read the forums before posting anything. The complete absence of similar threads should make it apparent that this is not a place to post up a cheap trawl for info.
 
I am a bit curious what the answers of people living in Brighton have to do with the lap dancing industry in Scotland though? :confused:
