If it was intentional it's funny, and if they're being serious it's even more funny...I laugh either way.

Should have said print it out, place on wooden table, photograph it, scan it, email the scanned copy in for faster processing.

Interesting.

That wasn't there when I took it.

All I got was a "For quality control purposes, please leave this question blank"

I was tempted to select "file not found", but decided against it.

Did any of you try to select "A well-reasoned, humorous, and insightful reply" as the answer for what you'd do if you were first in commenting?

PSWorx:

 It's the very last thing on the survey, under the "Submit" button.

Yeah, and then i disabled JS and actually selected it.  That's what you get for client side verification!

Yes, first stage of not pron contest, get over that javascript popup to reach level 2 :)

+1 INT

I didn't feel like hitting that menu option (Opera 9).

I wonder how many people chose "not blank". Here's one.

I did that too. I hope client-side verification only was intentional.

No, they actually think that it would be faster to mail it.

Seriously, this is a humor site.  Do they really need to put a giant blinking-red "this is a joke" sign on everything before you get it?

 I changed it to '; DROP TABLE users; --, but got an error when I tried to submit it :(

I considered it, but in the end decided it would be untrue. 8=] But I selected a non-default blank in the QA question. I wonder if Alex will publish some statistics. And that statement about mail... It wasn't there, indeed.

I chose a random blank option for it. And yeah the questionnaire has a few in-jokes and references."Worst. Namechange. Ever" is a quote from a comment/forum post (forgot which). The "blank for quality control purposes" thing, and "file not found" we know, and "The Real WTF is" is probably the biggest cliche on the site. No doubt the mailing business is from a story too.

1. Print it out
2. Photo copy it (for security)
3. place on desk
4. take a picture
5. photocopy the picture (to ensure scanner picks it up right)
6. scan it in to your computer
   
7. email the copy to yourself (for an extra record)
8. print it
9. put it in an envelope
10. go to post office (for even greater accuracy)
11. ship it
12. remember you forgot to place a stamp
13. repeat steps 1-10 but this time put a stamp on
14. repeat step 11
    

 Just 14 easy steps...

Which in turn was a reference to a Simpsons episode in which Comic Book Guy is reviewing the previous night's Itchy and Scratchy episode.  What he said was "Worst. Episode. Ever" and the middle word has been changed out to refer to many other things,  like presidents.

Chalk another one up on that list.  I just assumed it was to make us laugh ;)  It certainly made me laugh...

"Table or view does not exist"?

 

Here are a few more WTFs in the survey...

1) The leave this blank question has the following choices:

blank, blank, blank, blank, not blank <-- literally that, blank, blank, file not found, blank, blank 

2) When you are asked what you will post as first reply if you choose "something inteligable" you get a popup "that is not an acceptable answer"

 

either the survey is a joke in itself, the survey is meant to be funny, or the site creators just don't learn form their own articles :)

If you were wondering, yes, you win the Geekiest Reply of the Century Award for that comment. And it's only 2007 - good show!

Didn't we have a thread the other day about people replying to threads before reading all the replies given thus far?

I reckon they were quality control questions.

Eg, anyone who left the 'please leave this blank' question with the first blank obviously is either a newcomer or has never read the site at all. (I answered 'file not found' as it seemed like the logically correct one).

Alternatively the 'bugs' were added as a bit of humour. ;)

Sure, but you didn't expect people to read it, did you?
