Some suggestions for improvement
I enjoy giving my opinions in your numerous surveys I participated especially on topics like finance, consumerism, social issues and so on. They allow me to keep in touch with current affairs and to a certain extent motivate me to interact more with the social environment to enrich my experiences. The only peeve I have with OW is that sometimes I get shut out and disqualified from the survey after going through part of a survey sometimes. Its frustrating really when you don't know why you are disqualified man! Please do not disqualify because of a participant's elderly age. The older a participant, the more work, industrial or life experience he or she has and hence the more objective his/her feedback. Another instance of disqualification I discover often occurs abruptly after the question on the different types of occupation the participant is engaged in. When you tick off one or two types, the next moment you are disqualified. This will cue a 'smart 'participant to tick the choice NONE OF THE ABOVE in subsequent surveys to stay in the game to gain points. In other words, participants can 'game' the surveys and their feedback generally will not be honest and the survey data distorted. It is not easy to achieve 100% objectivity in survey findings through points award approach. More thoughts should be spent on how to identify a core group of genuine survey participants with the age, industrial, social and life experience to provide you feedback on many social, economic, political and global issues/topics. Other than this annoyance, generally I am happy with OW compared to some other organization's surveys I have participated.
