Hi all.
I'm not sure I can answer some of these questions with an approved Mumsnet tone of voice.
So - before I get hauled in front of Justine to explain myself tomorrow, here goes...
It's just a survey - if we find that it's unusable because the data is skewed then we'll do another. We'll ask more people and we'll get more data. The survey is to help us to run the community better - we need to ask questions so that we can find out how we're doing - and what we should be doing in future.
Here are some of the questions...
Are you a registered member of Mumsnet, and if so, roughly how long have you been a Mumsnet member?
How often do you visit Mumsnet Talk?
If you never or rarely visit Mumsnet Talk, what might make you read the Talk boards?
Approximately how many posts on Mumsnet do you write in a month?
What, if anything, would make you post more on Mumsnet?
If you have reported a thread or post, how happy were you with the outcome?
If you haven't posted on a thread before, or haven't posted very often, what would encourage you to post (or post more often)?
How do you feel about our Talk guidelines?
To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "MNHQ reacts promptly to problems on the Talk boards".
Do you use any forums other than Mumsnet? If so, what's the best other forum you know?
(I'm really interested in this one)
If you think Mumsnet is better than other forums, what's the main reason?
(and this)
To what extent do you agree or disagree with Mumsnet's moderation approach around the following things on the Mumsnet Talk boards?
(this was the one where the hottest topics were mentioned - Brexit, disablism, trans issues etc.)
What one thing, if anything, do you think would improve the Mumsnet Talk boards?
(I can't wait to read the comments on this one - they will help us to moderate and support the community in future)
Who, if anyone, would you most like us to invite to take part in a Mumsnet webchat?
(we want a load of cool guests - you can tell us who to invite)
To answer a couple of other questions...
Yes, we know about coercive control. The whole community team (and Mumsnet as an organisation) feel very strongly about it.
And last but not least... the Feminism and Women's Rights board will be closed over my dead body.
