There were a number of posts yesterday which were 'hijacked ' by someone purporting to be doing research.
This research may or may not have been genuine.The links may or may not have been genuine links.I domt know.
What I do know is that they are an abuse of the forum, they are extremely annoying and that the person putting these surveys on would be aware that it is not allowed. The number of times it was posted makes me wonder of indeed it was genuine research, i wouldnt follow the link anyway.
Rather than humour people who do this by us posting a reply saying that it is against forum rules, perhaps we should just report as abuse and leave it at that.Hopefully the moderators would then delete the offending post and block the perpetrators.
Posting a research survey once may be a genuine mistake, multiple times looks like there is some malicious intent.
