Polls pertaining to what?Communism?
Demographics, like age, gender, location, ethnicity, etc. and also maybe stuff about mechs, such as favorite brand, switch, keycap set, what have you. I think the information could be rather interesting if enough people provided information.

Just add an "are you lying" option to the poll and filter out anyone who checks "yes".

Although it actually sounds like a Google Form is better suited to the task in this case, given the number and scope of questions RESPRiT wants to ask.
No link in the OP??
I'll compile it all together and release the statistics for everything, and also the raw data as well probably.

I guess more specifically will you be releasing what user entered what information?

Ahh, I can see how that could be a concern. The main report will just be cumulative stats, so it wouldn't be possible to know who said what, but the raw data would reveal that. In that case, I'll probably remove names and/or responses that would indicate a person's identity in the raw report.
Just release the summary I do not want these fellows to know I am this young.
Again, just release the summaries, it is not safe to share the full data.
For switch, please show difference between tactile and linear gray

Are you 13? :p ;D
totally lied about my age and gender :))I like living dangerous, too.
You so should do the same survey on Deskthority too. I think that it would show that the biggest differences between the two is time zone. GH is mostly the Americas and East Asia; DT is mostly Europe. I read and post to both, but am drawn into more conversations here at GeekHack.
They just did something similar over at /r/MechanicalKeyboards http://imgur.com/a/uXq70#0 (http://imgur.com/a/uXq70#0)
I do hope there's a better showing than that shameful 50% of people who don't own more than 1 board.

What the1onewolf meant is that it would be unfair to hold it against the population of r/mechanicalkeyboards that most of them have only one mechanical keyboard, since most of them are under 20.

Thus, if I have more than one keyboard I should be, what? over 60? :))

Well, it just implies that you're financially responsible for the expenditure of your money and that most kids don't usually have disposable income to make their wallets cry out in protest.

Probably ripster fanboys after his post in his ego stroking subreddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/Ripster/comments/208krp/geekwhacker_poll_is_the_longest_in_keyboard/).
So I completed the survey, but I couldn't put down that I've owned more then 100 boards. It wouldn't let me continue so I set it to 99.

This. Very irritating.
And such a Cherry-centric set of questions. It is insulting to those of us who think that Cherry switches are 2nd class in many ways.
Above and beyond that, questions focused on new and current boards rather than vintage stuff.
I agree that switch selection on future surveys should stop at switch "family" for all (Cherry, Topre, Alps, buckling spring, scissor, membrane, virtual/touch, reed/hall, other). A follow-up question could ask for switch genus and species. You might also do a "rate from 1 to 5 each of these switches" - if one switch get a 5 and every other switch gets a 1, or if virtual/touch gets anything but a 1 - that is a troll.
It might also be nice to have people rate from 1 to 5 various layouts (ignoring switches and brands normally associated) from "keyboard pixel art" representations.
You just put us Cherry users in a "class" here. LOL. Well, I love my keyboard so no offense taken, but I'd prefer arguments based on facts, than empty remarks like that. Of course you were "irritated", so I should understand the comment as coming from somewhere else, but your brain.

That would be cool! Is there a site with pixel art to pick them up?

Normally I ignore responses such as this, but first, I have said nothing whatsoever about "Cherry users", I only remarked that Cherry switches are not the only switches out there, and, additionally, that they are not considered particularly "good" or "desirable" by many users (and I will freely admit that "we" (whatever class or group you fabricate around "us", whoever "we" are) may be the minority) and that a multitude of other options are available.
The fact is that more than 100 keyboards have, indeed, passed across my desk, and I have completely disassembled dozens of them to understand how they work.
I certainly do not know everything, and learn something new every day, but I am fairly well-educated in keyboard construction, much of it through hands-on experience.
I feel that comparisons between Cherry switches and Alps switches are appropriate and informative, since these two families have considerable similarities and characteristics. It is bizarre and inappropriate to list out a dozen Cherry switches individually but lump a dozen Alps switches together. And to ignore "similar" switches such as SMK and Monterey is silly.
Then there are at least half a dozen other "major" switch categories that should be explored, and myriad "strange and obsolete" switch types.
Therefore, my criticism of the survey is because of its narrow focus on a subset of the universe of keyboards.
many less people will have experience with said switches
many less people will have experience with said switches
Perhaps it would be simpler to create a separate "vintage" survey for keyboard enthusiasts who prefer gear that has not been in production in recent years.
IBM may not have manufactured keyboards during the lifetime of a quarter of the members here, and a buyer shopping for a current modern keyboard may have very little interest in "ancient" or "obsolete" computer equipment.
But some people might consider that far more interesting than a Cherry vs Topre discussion.
something has happened which has caused my browser to navigate away from the survey
I can fix data errors fairly easily, thanks for letting me know though! If it becomes a hassle, I can manually enter it for you if you want.
