You don't have to fill in the entire survey it is already mentioned before.
I missed that.
Furthermore you can exit the survey at any moment by clicking the button "Exit this survey".
I didn't miss that. But, like I said, the progress bar made it impossible to tell how many items were left. I'm happy to participate in research surveys like this from time to time, but I like to know roughly how much time it'll take to do it, and how far I am into the survey. When it comes back and says I'm 70% done, and then after answering a group of questions and says I'm 48% done, something's wrong with the survey.
Finally I have got many responses without any complain on how to assign the score on the texts...
I just provided feedback that it was confusing for me. I'm not new to surveys - I've spent a fair amount of time over the years working with customer survey creation and data interpretation, and have a little background in human analytics. I can tell you that very frequently, you won't get feedback from people saying that they didn't understand how to fill out the form or answer the questions, but that doesn't mean they / did/ understand it. Sometimes that's not important, though - for example, on a survey that I'm extremely familiar with (for determining learning effectiveness for training classes), a common question is "in the next 6 months, how much do you expect to have improved your understanding of this topic?" with a series of percentages. Nobody really knows how to answer that question, but the company that creates this survey has millions of responses and has figured out how to adjust the responses (respondents always overestimate this value, and that overestimation can be determined statistically with sufficient data combined from post-class surveys and a 6-month follow-up survey that shows actual results). I'm going to guess that you're not going to have millions of responses, so it's important for your research that the questions be clear and how one responds to them is also clear. What differentiates a "1" from a "2" on your survey? I have no idea. I doubt any of your respondents will either, so, for example, while I responded "2" on some things where there was a single response within the comment thread where it seemed someone was mildly frustrated (which wasn't a choice, so I selected "anger" instead, IIRC), someone else might see that as being worthy of a '5' response. Because it would appear you have no way of normalizing the data, that means ultimately your data is not likely to have any meaningful value. I could be wrong about that. Maybe you'll have enough data, or maybe you can account for that uncertainty in some way that isn't unclear to me. In which case, I wish you luck with your research. Do with my feedback what you will.
Thanks,
Ilias R.

I guess you've never heard of Mailinator. Or any of the other disposable mailing services found with a quick google search...
I knew a bit about it :-)
Well, now you know more.
But no, what I want is an email address that can not be traced to me, except on court order, preferably on European laws and land, which I can use on sites requesting one for registration, so that /they/ don't know who I really are, and that if they try to contact me I do get that email.
And that is entirely what you get using something like Mailinator. They don't ask for registration at all. You just decide on an address - like arguesabouteverything@mailinator.com - plug that in, and if/when a message goes to that address, it's accepted. You can go to arguesabouteverything.mailinator.com to see if someone's sent something to the address, but there's no registration needed. Try it rather than debating it.
Go read up more on it, because apparently you haven't yet - because you're still debating it. The first question in their FAQ explicitly states you don't sign up for the service.
