The #Gamergate 3 Part Strawpoll: It's ACTUALLY About Ethics in Game Journalism

The questions below had to be set up in a certain way for a few certain reasons:



1. To prevent gaming and tampering by people opposed to Gamergate, and skewing the results.

2. Multiple choice is not allowed, due to point 1. Allowing multiple choice would have allowed 'carpet-bombing' to occur, where people would flood the results by selecting ALL the answers, again, skewing and tampering the results.



The following questions were made up of the most COMMON things that I have heard people discuss and speak about regarding the current game journalism climate, and associated controversies. NOTE FOR EMPHASIS: This is NOT INDICATIVE of every observation or complaint had by people; just the most common ones that I have heard.



Note about Questions 2 & 3: Clearly, you may think that ALL of those things are a problem. The questions ask which one bothers you THE MOST out of all the possible answers; it doesn't mean you don't care about the others, it means answer with the one that irks you more than the others do.



All three polls in one place, so you can get to them all easily: After a certain amount of time, I'll post the results (not disclosing when, to prevent gamification).
