Hello
Thank you for reaching out to Branded Surveys.
At times we will check to ensure the quality of your survey answers. It has been brought to our attention that your responses could use some improvement.
We've removed the flag from your account, and ask that moving forward you display care while answering surveys.
We appreciate your time and attention to this matter.
Thank you,
Cassie
My response to Cassie is, okay what the heck ever. I haven't changed the way I do surveys in the almost three years that I have had an account with Branded. So here is what I plan to do, participate in far less surveys. You don't like the way I do them, then I'll do just a couple a week and spend the rest of my time on panels that appreciate my business. I will however take your 5 free poll points every day.
