    "Hi <THFYM>, sorry for the late reply! I ended up rejecting a small percentage of submissions on the grounds that instructions weren't followed and thus the data was unusable for my study. For your reference, in Qualtrics, requesters can record the time a respondent spends on a given page of a survey. I made rejections only in the rare case where a respondent clicked past a portion of the survey in less than 10 seconds. In your case, you only spent 3(!) seconds on the consent form, and therefore you were not properly briefed. I felt that this was a generous cutoff and that rejection in these cases was justified and thus not subject to overturning. Ben"

    ...I'm rural, tho. Besides my neighborhood, nothing but desert sand for miles and miles. And in an unincorporated town, to boot. We just have a terror for an HOA manager, and it's because our town is a bullshit shanty town with 2 nice neighborhoods, and they are a little crazy about making sure it stays nice...but like, clearly gotten too crazy. It's a good rental, tho. We wouldn't buy something here, but for the proximity and relative peace outside of crazy HOA regulations, it's quiet and off trails and close to Matt's job and twice as big as we could get up the mountain for the same price.

    This is right outside the walls of my neighborhood:

    I live off a wind and sun farm and that's why they do all the spaceport stuff here, along with a lot of car testing. Oh yeah, also one of the few functional gold mines left. It's emptyyyy outside of that. We get coyotes and shit prowling thru our neighborhood.

    I mean, we could live in the non HOA neighborhood and pay 600 bucks more a month for the same exact house....so....ya know, we just suck it up since we don't own it. :emoji_joy:

    Your opinions aren't that special. It's more likely they had an actual issue with the survey.

    Ok so that would make it worth it (I would still go into rage though). I also thought y'all owned instead of renting so that puts it way more into perspective. I have acerage, but everybody else's land backs right up against it. I would love to be right up against a state park or grasslands (or just open land like that).

    I may have put my hat in the ring to be on the HOA board and I'm now the neighborhood watch Grinch. TAKING OVER FROM INSIDE, YEE HAW! I made friends with the crazy trashcan dude who is also on the HOA, and he's super nice to me now, except he now brings me the paper "in case I want it, " so I think I charmed him a bit more effectively than I had meant.

    To be fair, it's a different requester... just that both are from Stanford, and in my experience, their IRB doesn't give a flying shit about workers. Let me dig up the IRB reply now...

    Yes I would do the same thing. For some reason I thought y'all owned. Renting is a whole other ball game.

    I have left mine out for days but there isnt a housing authority here. I just hate people that like to work on their car in the front driveway instead of pulling it out back or in their garage
