Usually doing something with IRB approval means theres $$ for doing it…
paid CD surveys when?
I was mostly cracking a joke, but no. Regardless of funding, research involving humans requires IRB approval. At least if you want to do anything useful with the research, such as publication. But yes, surveys on CD don’t require approval. But I also wouldn’t classify them as research…
That’s incorrect. You basically need to get all human subject studies approved by your IRB. Anything that involves (or could involve) an ethical situation should be getting IRB approval, and good luck publishing if you skip that step.
For example, if I do a survey where I’m trying to determine if people actively read the news, I could ask a subject how regularly they listen to the news, and then I could ask them about a series of headlines to see what they know. If I make up some headlines, one might be traumatic and then I’m presenting false information to a subject which could have a negative consequence on them. The IRB would need to approve this first.
Also just like anything involving ethics, even if it doesn’t involve human subjects, will often need IRB approval.
Not even close. I’m the only person on my team with a CD account. No one else on the team knows I have an account, and very few know this site exists. In fact, only two students and the coach because CD is great for programming help!
I need a tongue in cheek font

tongue in Cheek?
Thanks for the insight! I myself have done my fair share of polls on this site (anyone remember should first replay infinite recharge? That aged well) but normally if I do it’s more to read the room and get a general idea for how people are feeling about the topic. I also do this accepting the biases and potential mess of a comments section that comes along with a CD thread.
this one might be better
EDIT: It appears this does not work on mobile. I will attempt to include proper fallbacks in the future or find a web-safe sarcastic font.

I see two different fonts on mobile: a Times New Roman ish and a handwritten looking font.
I don’t think anyone on my team uses CD and since my team covers our whole school district that means I was probably the only person using it in the school district. I spent so much time on it during school it got banned on school wifi for the district

Ha! Same thing happened to me. But all it took to restore CD was a mentor saying that we needed it for robotics. Thanks Mrs. Zinn!
