As some of you know, I work as the Editor-in-Chief at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Any heartburn if we post a quick reader survey on Oppo this week? It’s 5 questions, basically “how are we doing”? We write for the Oppo audience, among others, and would love some feedback from the community. I figured I could just post it and see what happens, but I didn’t want to violate any rules, so I figured I would clear it first. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for asking. If there is a way to host the poll on your own site that would be preferable and then just link to it asking for help with the poll. Other mods should probably weigh in.

Well, it’s the internet, so I sort of know what to expect.

That said, Oppo isn’t the FP, most folks here are pretty helpful I’ve found.

I agree with what Hammerhead said.

Makes sense, probably wouldn’t be too hard. Thanks.

Honestly, either wouldn’t be too bad, Kinja does support embedded polls. I’ll defer to other’s opinions, but really linking to it or embedding it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

I think the bigger concern would be the “what am I condoning?” question and how this would effect oppo as a whole if everyone decides to start doing this. That said, you guys have been here for a while. And I’m not that concerned with establishing a precedent for what we allow. I would probably have the same answer for Steve Lehto, or for Tom before he went and got all professional on us. =)

Thats why I think the poll should stay offsite with links. Thats pretty standard practice, people are free to click away but its not an endorsement.

No issues here. Just follow Hammerheadfistpunch’s request

Understood and agreed, just presenting the “inside the chaos mind” perspective.

Thanks! I’m good with hosting on our site and just linking to it in an Oppo post. Seems like that’s the most palleteable options for folks.

I’m all about continuing to improve so understanding what the Oppo community thinks would be valuable.
