Airsoft Questionnaire

[clumpyedge]

@Duff I haven't really decided. I might even put that out there for suggestions.

You may struggle to call it anything other than what it is...and it is speedsoft, even if that does take its form from paintball.

If you call it what it is (its speedsoft, its called that everywhere else and by trying to brand it as something else might not do many favours in the long run) then you will get the clientele that want to do that sort of thing and not people thinking its something else based on the name. A fair few people have already fallen foul of advertising games as one thing but on the day it being completely different and taking a lot of flack after the fact.

I just had an unintelligent and personal rant in the questionnaire, but you can't prove nuffin, copper.

OK, I tried to be helpful, but the number of leading questions did get irksome.  There's no point in asking for opinions on anything other than the small field outdoor speedsoft that OP wants to run, since that's just a waste of both parties' time.

Best of luck.

I've said before that the focus of this forum should be about helping each other out where possible and there seem to be a lot of serious keyboard warriors out there who want to pick up on every tiny little minor detail about every single post, idea, comment etc.

I think the guy is only trying to better our community and everyone just jumped on his back. Even if he'd done a few things inappropriately, or incorrectly, the way some people on here address those faux pas' is quite frankly just not very nice.

As for data protection/GDPR, did you all check how your email and password are stored on the server that hosts this forum before you registered? Of course not! how would you even go about doing that without contacting the owner directly, and then sim ply taking his/her /other (let's be PC before the keyboard warriors jump on again) word for it?  Have you noticed that the forum keeps track of what devices have logged in to your account recently, and where from? (granted, the location is not accurate).

I've worked as a business software developer for quite a long time now and I can tell you that there are still a LOT of professional outfits and website owners out there who have zero regard for data protection, even storing data in plain text isn't unheard of.... and you guys are concerned about a bloke using google software to conduct a simple survey!?

Rant over.

Be nice to people.

All that cruft has been removed, I should note, it's just an anonymous survey now.  Straight up, I tried to be constructive, but it would have been more helpful to OP if it had stuck to just asking questions about the events that he wants to run rather than allowing free-form rants and rambles.

Anyway, hopefully that won't put him or anyone else off and we'll see some more of these arenas popping up.  I'd give it a go, just for the novelty.

@callumbagshaw I'll give you the benefit of doubt… you've came to this topic when a good chunk of posts have been deleted, so a lot doesn't make sense any more and has now set you off on a rant. 

Most of us were constructive about getting the survey changed, but took offence to being told we were idiots/pathetic for ignoring data protection. 

To answer your questions, I certainly question and investigate to the best of my abilities anywhere that I put in an email address or passwords. As should everyone. It doesn't matter if it's some bloke using Google forms or a well known company refusing to conform to data laws. The risks are potentially the same for the end user.

Ah, missed that bit then xD

Having worked in the banking and financial sector for over 15 years, I can garuntee you I understand data protection better than you understand the intricacies of a deep fried Mars bar. Please try not to get upset and belittle someone because they don't agree with you, it does your debate zero favours.

@ACA What would you call it?

Says the person belittling people over their choices.......
