Subject: Rant warning: Feedback surveys
Does anyone else get really irritated about being asked to fill in feedback forms at festivals and music events?

It's even worse at festivals with multiple events as the "volunteers" will ask you to do this at every concert, workshop, or whatever you attend. Yes, we should be polite but it does get annoying after the umteempth time.

If there was actually an opportunity to offer genuine and resonable feedback regarding the actual music and organisation of the festival I wouldn't mind quite so much but this is usually low on the list of priorities and I'm not confident that this is usually the main aim with such projects.

I attended a festival last week and the feedback form consisted of four sides worth of total shecht. Everything from how much money one spent on food, accommodation, age categories, and gender "orientation". Just how any of that was relevant to the actual music baffles me!
The gender question gave you several options including male, female, mon binary, prefer not to say, and even "OTHER". I wonder how many possibilities there are these days?

Anyway, I've now made a decision to refuse(politely if I can) all these stupid feedback surveys unless they are specifically related to the music and actual event from now on.

Rant over...
