Quote from mamegoma : I'll give you a clink.

repped for amazingness!

If I may ask, what's a clink or did they mean "link".

"Clink" is the sound that is made when newbies don't bother reading and like to ignore anyone else and they find themselves randomly hit with a hammer that fell out of a senior SD'er's hands...
So to speak.

Thanks for the clarification. You taught me something I did not know

Quote from JewBagel : Maybe you should take 30 seconds and read the other replies on this page of the thread...

let's be nice now.

That was me being nice.



The odd thing is that they would never take me, for over a year I tried and never got accepted... I only ever got their PTs through other companies but I clicked the scrolling link on the homepage the other day and got an email earlier today.

I get dropped too after 7 years. I didn't get any explanation, just stopped receiving surveys and I emailed them to find out what was going on, and only then did they send me an email.
Was upset at first, but since they dropped the payment from $5 to $3 I was not happy with them anyway.

Go smidge!
I totally agree. We are hear to help each other out and not put anyone down or criticize.

There is helping others, being helped by others... then there is being totally lazy and refusing to help yourself. People who don't take the time to read anything but the first few lines of the OP won't even help themselves, idk why they expect others to. The majority of the problems with survey companies lately seem to be caused by lazy people seeking rewards, I won't help those people cause more problems.

Neither will I. If you're too lazy to read two pages of a thread on SD, you're too lazy to be a good survey taker.

Thanks for the further clarification. I do see your points and totally agree. I know yourself, myself, and many others on here do take surveys very seriously and I am all for being honest when completing a survey and/or PT.

Indeed seriously. Kinda off topic but I'm psyched about it. I've had dry scalp for over 6 years, and because I did a survey site thoroughly they sent me a product to test for them. I've tried dozens of products with no success. This new product I tested cured my dryscalp in 2 days and I am completely in love with the site and makers. I wish I could pay them for sending it to me. This survey stuff is not meant to be taken lightly, there are some surveys that could lead to great progress, so people put in effort to read everything. Surveys are not all about money.

That is really great to hear. I always like it when you get to try something new and you end up loving the product.

Problem with that when you like the product they don't always tell you the brand name.
