The University of Hong Kong's School of Business invites you to participate in a study on Second Life. The purpose of this survey is to investigate the popularity of Second Life and residents' experience. We are also collecting data about general individual characteristics to help us better understand your Second Life experience. Your participation in the study is completely voluntary.

The survey has 6 sections and takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. As a token of gratitude for your participation, we will pay 100 Linden dollars (L$100) to your Second Life account provided to us. By participating in this study, you can have the chance to look at factors which are related to your Second Life experience and help us understand people's Second Life experience in general. Each person can only participate once.

For more details, please click here or go to http://i.cs.hku.hk/~hfcheng2/survey/forum.php directly.

If you have any questions in the survey, please free feel to send e-mail to [email]mchau@business.hku.hk[/email].

Let me make it clear here. From the experience, a lot of people always think that doing a survey would make harm for you.

1. I can promise you that your email would not get any spam if you complete this survey and everything is about academic.
2. I can promise you must get paid about you complete the survey within a week.
3. If you do not trust, please do not complete this survey and please do not say that this survey is fake or any bad words without evidence.

Thank you very much for the help.

OK fine, I won't.

What I *will* say is this: Why do you keep posting this, repeatedly, on forum after forum here? This is something like your *thirteenth* post for the exact same survey, spread out over three or four SL forums. Unless the reasoning behind your survey is to see if people notice (they have) or get annoyed (they are) or whatever at continued multiple postings, then why not simply 'bump' an older post and ask for more volunteers if you don't yet have enough?

And if you want evidence for these 'bad words', I gave it back here, in the middle of your last post about this:

/327/2a/280854/1.html#post2139978

Add this post to the bottom of that list now.

let me make this perfectly clear. I do not trust you at all and this is repeated spam.

Hi Skell Dagger ... May i ask what is your evidence from the list? If you would make a conclusion, i suggest you would ask those people who have completed the survey directly
so that you would know whether they get paid within a week.

Hi Toy LaFollette ... I wish it is repeated spam. if i really like to spam, why don't i post it everyday to get the notice from others instead of posting it around 5 days in the forum? It is why i dun want to spam in the forum.

I do not mind you do not trust me. I can only say that please understand the difficulty of doing a survey in Second Life with limited resource.

Um you are kidding right?

All someone has to do is look at your profile and get "all threads started"

This thread is your 13th on this exact same thing.

Spam is spam, no matter how you dress it. You were given advice on how to get your suposed survey by going inworld. But that may involve YOU having to work for it rather than spamming for help constantly. have a nice day and please get just a little self respect.

I'm sorry, because of the email line, I will not fill out your survey. You do NOT need it for payment purposes. (I would know if I got my payment, believe me.) All you need is the avatar name. Anything more makes the paranoids like me scream scam.

And even if you were to remove that now, I would not fill out your survey. One thread is more than enough and can be bumped if you had needed more. Okay, two, with one in Help Wanted.

Seriously, this is spam now. I don't like spam as a food and I hate it as email.

Obligatory warning to fellow residents:

NEVER GIVE ANYONE BOTH YOUR FULL AVATAR NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS.
THIS WILL ALWAYS RESULT IN ACCOUNT HACKING.


that is all.
