Another duff survey

I used to devise surveys so can't resist looking at them and commenting when they are stupid.

This question:
In which of the following areas, if any, have Mumsnet posts been useful or helpful to you? Please select all that apply

Note it say 'if any' but doesn't provide the option 'none' only 'not sure' and 'other' You get an error message if you don't tick a box.

I ask yet again, does anyone check these surveys? Although I imagine frome previous surveys, even if there was a 'none' option, it would go on to ask the same questions as if you had picked an 'area' as usual.

Hi there @ForPearlViper. Thanks for flagging this up. We've edited that survey now so there should be a 'none' option available.

Thanks for posting @ForPearlViper - we are trying to get at which bits of Mumsnet people find useful, helpful or interesting, rather than whether the site has ever been useful at all. For that reason there isn’t a “none” option as we’re looking for relative feedback rather than an overall verdict on the entire experience. We know some people do abandon surveys if a question doesn’t feel applicable, which is one of the reasons we don’t rely on a single question or single survey in isolation

We of course appreciate the point about how the questions land, and if something doesn’t feel applicable you can skip it. We do read threads like this and they’re part of how we sense-check surveys once they’re out in the wild so thank you.
