has your 13 year old taken a survey in the last two months?

usually I know to always hit no on this but accidentally hitting yes today and getting disqualified just reminds me again how stupid it is they think they're getting honest answers to this question... does it matter if we've done another survey even yesterday if it's not the same survey? but to cut us for even doing a survey? we'd never reach cash out if we say yes to that..

I figure, if they want to disqualify everyone who has taken any survey at all, whatsoever, in the past several months, then they probably don't care that the only people who are going to take their survey are liers, or they just completely haven't given any thought to it, and either way, that sort of person probably doesn't care or hasn't given thought to any number of other issues with their survey, either. I'm not going to intentionally lie to a survey (at least not during the screening out process; different if a survey forces me to lie most of the way through, in that it just doesn't give me the option to tell the truth), but I figure, I probably don't want to take that survey anyway.

But it is pretty ridiculous - what do they think will happen? They're on a survey site, I can absolutely guarantee them that 99.9999% of everyone opening that survey, that's not the first survey they've opened in their life. Are they trying to filter out people who tell the truth?

I can see if it's specific like "have you done a discussion panel on cruise lines in the past few months".. but to ask 'have you taken a survey' in the past 3 months.. and this being a disqualifying question?

My argument is that I will say no simply because I've seen how completely different most surveys can be. Even car buying surveys. So, no, I've not taken any other survey like the one your going to now allow me to take.
