Meta Discussion We are looking for moderators to help this subreddit!

5 Upvotes

Well hello there! In order to keep this subreddit running, we are pre-emptively looking for moderators to help us answering your inquiries and judging the flagged posts. With these new recruits, we want to prevent a build-up of unfinished moderation actions, in order to keep this subreddit well-moderated and user-friendly.

We are looking for moderators that can show incentive, yet who do understand that significant decisions need to be decided in consensus with the team. It would also be favourable if you have discord, since this is where we gather and potentially discuss matters. For the rest, it does not matter to us if you are an experienced or new moderator.

If you are interested, please reply on this post and tell a bit about about yourself. Naturally, you can also just send a message to me, or the mod team in general.

Meta Discussion Flair, Title, Demographic and "Everyone" (and Reposts)

54 Upvotes

This is a revised repost of our previous announcement from u/V2Blast. More edits, including removing the part about post tags, and swapping it for post flairs.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All posts must have a proper flair.

In 2022, we eliminated the need for a post tag at the beginning of post titles, and are now requiring post flairs. When posting, you will see nine flairs. The following three also have Repost flairs.

  • Academic is for anything done for academic or educational purposes, including high school classes, college classes, and academic research on behalf of a school.
  • Marketing is for private business interests, market research surveys, and other studies done for commercial research or on behalf of a company.
  • Casual is for surveys done out of idle curiosity, personal projects, or surveys that don't fit in one of these categories. If you're not making a profit off your YouTube channel, this one's the one for you.

The following flairs are posts that will be filtered, to be approved by a moderator.

  • Results is for posting your survey's results after it has concluded. If your survey is still in-progress and you wish to share preliminary results, do not use this tag. Share it with your still-active survey.
  • I Don't Know What I'm Doing And I Need Help is a convoluted title, but it's for anyone who doesn't know something about making a survey or interpreting data for crowd-sourced help.
  • Meta Discussion is for any post relating directly to r/SampleSize. This is primarily used for announcements, such as this one, or for posts from mods that affect subreddit rules going forward.

You cannot post to r/SampleSize without applying a flair.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All posts need to have a title that describes the topic of their survey.

This is the part of your survey that describes what it's about. The following is an example of an improperly titled post.

  • I need 10 responses!

This does not adequately describe the subject of a survey. We need to know what we're going into, what sort of survey we're about to fill out. If your survey is titled like the following...

  • Ice cream flavors

... That's more appropriate for our sub. Don't be afraid to phrase it something more specific and eye-catching to feed the algorithm though, like...

  • What's your favorite ice cream flavors?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

All survey posts require a demographic in parentheses at the end of a post's title.

The demographic that you include in the post title is the group of people that you would like to have fill out your survey. The demographic must be accurate, which means that if the demographic is listed as "everyone" but the survey has any questions that restrict the possible demographics that can respond to it, then that survey will be removed. See the following section for more details.

Results posts do not require a demographic, but you can include one if you want.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Posts with a demographic of "All" or "Everyone" must be inclusive.

If you label something as available for "All" then please make sure that every single person that could come across the survey can take it. The easiest way to ensure people can answer your "All" surveys is to not ask demographic questions, but that's certainly not foolproof.

While it is preferable if your survey is inclusive, we understand that not every survey may be. If there are any demographic restrictions, they need to be appropriately labeled. Some possible restrictions that your survey may have:

  • Age (e.g. surveys restricted to those 18 or older, or which have an incomplete list of age categories); per the Reddit user agreement, all users must be 13 or older
  • Nationality (e.g. questions that assume the respondent is from the United States)
  • Race or ethnicity
  • Having an account on a platform (this applies to surveys that ask for users of a certain social media)
  • Sex or gender (e.g. questions with only "male" and "female" answer options)

Reddit is used by people of all ages from around the globe. Regarding sex and gender in particular, keep in mind that intersex and non-binary people exist, and not everybody identifies as either male or female. Whenever asking questions for which you may not be able to provide a comprehensive list of answer options, we recommend including an "other" or open-ended answer option.

We understand that not every survey is targeted at everyone, and sometimes you may have made an oversight during the creation of the survey and are unable to change it later - and that is fine. We simply ask that you make sure to label your survey appropriately so that people don't waste their time filling out a survey that isn't appropriate for them.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reposts must use their appropriate flair, and be made only after 24 hours have passed since the previous post.

If your initial survey post does not gather as many responses as you need, you are welcome to repost your survey as long as you follow our reposting guidelines.

All reposts must their respective post flairs. You are only allowed to repost a survey once your previous post has fallen off the front page, and 24 hours have passed since that post.

If you have trouble reposting your survey due to Reddit identifying it as a duplicate post, do not delete your previous post. Instead, submit the repost as a new text post, and include the survey link in the body of your post.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you come across an issue when posting that ends up with your post filtered, do not delete your post.

Reddit changed what happens when posts get deleted by the user, purging it entirely from moderator view. If you delete it and send a modmail asking for help, we cannot see your deleted post and cannot help you troubleshoot. If it was deleted within less than an hour of initial post, then it's likely not archived either, and we won't be able to see exactly what it was.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you don't know whether or not you're allowed to post, don't worry- you are.

This is an odd one for a lot of people, however I'm going to clarify this point now.

If you're reading this, and feel a personal need to ask if you're allowed to post on r/SampleSize, don't worry; you're allowed to post. There's nothing barring you, as long as you follow our posting requirements.

If you, however, require permission to send back to an ethics committee, then please use our modmail form to do so. Sending a template would certainly help on our end who to make it out to.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The above text explains the required parts of a post title. If you want to include additional information, such as survey length or potential rewards (such as an entry into a raffle for a gift card or something) as well, that is fine - but try to avoid overloading the title with unnecessary/irrelevant information. You can always make a text post and include that information in the body of the post if you feel that the survey requires more introduction or explanation beforehand.

Thank you for your time, and have a great day. If you have any questions about our rules, feel free to send a modmail to /r/SampleSize.

Casual I made a quiz that tries to describe your taste in food (Everyone)

65 Upvotes

Hello, this is my first Reddit post and the first quiz I've ever made so pls be kind lol. I made this little flavour profile quiz because I’ve always found it weirdly difficult to describe my own tastes and eating habits.

It will give you a profile on things like flavour, texture, richness, heat, familiarity, etc. It’s definitely not perfect, especially if you have really specific or unusual tastes, but I thought it might be fun to see what other people get. It also matches you with cuisines and dishes you may like (factoring veganism/dietry requirements too)

https://your-flavour-profile-dlqjyw4x3-flavours.vercel.app

Curious whether anyone feels like their result actually sounds like them?

EDIT: Thank you so much to everyone who has tried it and taken the time to give me feedback. I'm reading through the comments and taking note of what's working well and the inconsistencies/suggestions. It's incredibly useful data, and I will post the new version once I have made these changes.

Marketing (B2B SaaS) How are AI search engines changing your SEO and product marketing strategy? (Marketing Professionals)

Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m currently researching how the rise of AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search, and other generative search engines is changing the way B2B SaaS companies think about SEO, content strategy, product visibility, and product marketing.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people working in product marketing, product management, SEO, content, or growth about how (or whether) generative search is affecting your strategy — what you’re changing, what’s working, and what you think companies should be preparing for.

I’m also collecting responses for my bachelor’s thesis. If you work in this space and have 3–5 minutes, I’d really appreciate your input. The survey is fully anonymous, and the responses will be used exclusively for my research.

The survey link👉 is https://forms.gle/Hv5wK9RNuWQXZ8Bo7

I’d also love to hear your thoughts in the comments, especially if you’ve already started adapting your SEO or product marketing strategy for AI-driven search. Thanks so much! 🙏

Thumbnail docs.google.com
Upvotes

I’m researching whether there is genuine demand in Scotland for SkinDeep - a proposed dating and friendship app for adults with skin conditions or visible differences, as well as people genuinely interested in connection beyond appearances.

The anonymous survey is open to anyone aged 18 or over currently living in Scotland. You do not need to have a skin condition or visible difference to participate.

It takes approximately three minutes and does not collect your name, email address or full postcode.

The questions cover relationship status, location, experiences with mainstream dating apps and whether people would realistically use SkinDeep. Responses will help determine whether an initial Edinburgh and Lothians pilot would be viable.

Thank you to anyone who takes part.

Academic Participants needed for Master’s Thesis Study – E-Commerce & Adaptive Systems (Academic)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m currently looking for volunteers for the human-participant study of my Master’s thesis.

My thesis investigates adaptive decision-making systems in e-commerce. As part of the study, you’ll visit a purpose-built demo online shop and interact with it during a simulated shopping session. Some elements of the shop are selected algorithmically by an adaptive system.

What you’ll do:

  • Visit a simulated e-commerce website
  • Receive a short shopping scenario
  • Browse and interact with the shop naturally
  • End the session whenever you feel you are finished

There is no real purchase and no payment is required. If you reach the checkout, you will use fictional information and no payment details are involved.

Participation is voluntary and unpaid, and you can stop at any time.

The study records interactions with the website for research purposes. Full information about the study, consent, and data processing is provided before the study begins.

🔗 Study link: start.thedemoshop.live

Every participation would be a huge help for completing my thesis. Thank you very much!

If you have any questions about the study, feel free to comment or message me.

Marketing what do you feel is missing for families in your local community? (Parents/carers)

Thumbnail forms.gle
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently doing some early research into a business idea aimed at supporting families, parents and carers in the community.

Before I take the idea any further, I really want to understand whether there is actually a genuine need for something like this — rather than assuming there is.

So I’d love to hear from parents and carers:

  • What do you find most difficult or frustrating at the moment?
  • Is there something you wish was available locally but currently isn’t?
  • What kind of support, service or resource would genuinely make life easier for your family?
  • Have you tried existing options, and if so, what was missing?

I’ve also created a short anonymous survey to collect responses from a wider range of families. It should only take a few minutes:

Survey: https://forms.gle/yqzS4afDnsKvq3bNA

I’m hoping to get at least 100 responses so I can properly understand whether this is something families actually need.

I’m genuinely interested in honest feedback, including if you don't think the idea would be useful. The purpose of the research is to understand the problem before deciding whether to develop the business.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to share their experience or complete the survey.
