Mumsnet Census

Just filled it in, and I think I need an extra option for the 'how often do you visit Mumsnet' question - 'Every ten minutes or so' or even 'Once I'm on, I don't really leave all day'.

I guess the advertisers aren't interested in overseas posters!

I filled it in, but got a bit annoyed that it assumed you live in the UK - I don't and there are plenty of other mnetters who don't as well.

Yes pretty much Cupcakes, plus we want to know about how the average mumsnetter uses the site, so we make sure we thinking along the right lines for improvements etc

Is it more assessing what your average MNetter is like so you can sell advertising space on MN?

I have filled in census already, just wondering.

Hello,
Promise we are not passing any specific information to advertisers - we're just going to aggregate it, so you're right we don't need specific postcodes. We'll change the postcode thing to by region tonight - in the meantime please do include only the first bit. Thanks for pointing out and very sorry for any undue worry.

I wouldn't stress about it.

It clearly says on the census page "Please rest assured that none of your personal details will be given to any third parties.."

Good point Cupcakes. Mumsnet, I do not wish to receive anything through the post! Thank you.

cupcakes · 29/06/2006 13:38

Is this for the benefit of advertisers?

zippitippitoes · 29/06/2006 13:26

I only put the first half of the postcode

flutterbee · 29/06/2006 13:25

Oh no now you have me thinking about the postcode thing

flutterbee · 29/06/2006 13:24

done and bumped again.

DumbledoresGirl · 29/06/2006 13:23

Darn, wish I had done so too now.

LIZS · 29/06/2006 13:22

I skimmed over the postcode and gave letters only for that very reason . Still seemed to go through.

DumbledoresGirl · 29/06/2006 13:21

I have filled it in too (keen to win the break away!) but I am not sure why you asked for our postcodes. Having given you our salary details, number and type of cars owned, newspapers read, etc, I feel I have exposed myself a bit more than I wanted to anyway, but then to give the postcode too, which can identify some people almost down to one address.... Was that necessary Mumsnet? Couldn't you next time ask us to choose which region of the country we lived in? Thanks!

LIZS · 29/06/2006 13:19

done and bump.

ellenrose · 29/06/2006 13:04

zippitippitoes · 29/06/2006 12:45

thank goodness there was an option for reading the papers online..didn't want anybody thinking I bought that stuff!

Gobbledigook · 29/06/2006 12:43

Done.

The employment bit doesn't have enough categories. There is no 'self employed' and really I'm 'self employed/SAHM' as I do my work in my spare time. I put 'part time paid employment' but it doesn't really reflect what I do. No big deal I guess!

Thank goodness the salary bands are large! Not giving that much away filling that out!

No 'NO' Flameboo, it's 'naaaaaowwww'

FlameBoo · 29/06/2006 12:36

Considered putting "lurker" but thought it might get returned to me with a "computer says NO"
