I am soon going to replace the poll on the front page of the site with another. I must be tired because I am struggling with the way to word it without causing offence to the "moral majority" that I tripped over in another place.
What I want to do is to ask people the age of their youngest sexual partner (poll to be valid for people of either gender). I want to ask what age they were/are when they had their youngest sexual partner, and the age of the partner.
The limitation of the sparklit polling system is that I either use a survey (capable of being answered multiple times because those lack security). If I use the Polls (a different product) they have good security (capable of being circumvented, but good even so), but I must make people aware that they should only take one poll.
I also need to work out what age groups.
My thoughts are 12 and under, 13-16, 17-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51+ for EACH end of the relationship.
I don't want ANSWERS to a poll here. What interests me is any ideas people may have on BUILDING the polls to make them EASY to understand and EASY to answer. Come to that I am struggling with the question!
The best I have so far is "How old were you when you had your youngest sexual partner" as a heading for a group of polls and then individual polls saying "I was (eg) 16-20, and my partner was [click button]" WILL THIS WORK, do you think?

I don't think any way you word it will keep from offending someone. But I think the questions in a poll should be for clarity and to obtain the desired information, and if it offends someone, then they do have a 'back' button.

The age groupings seem about right to me. It would be interesting to ask the obverse, How old were you when you had a relationship with someone older and their age. However, that might make it more complicated than you want.

Though I appreciate it could be misunderstood. That means the intro needs to be clearer more than anything else

Nipping onto a messageboard as "A concerned lurker" and posting a divisive message to see if you can stir a pot is rather juvenile as a pursuit. Either lurk or post. if you post, obey convention and make the posts attributable.
I have no need to "demand" anything as an administrator. I AM the administrator and have the delete button under my personal control.
Why not next post when you have something civil and attrinbutable to say? Until then please be kind enough to lurk.
Politeness is absent from little barbed "sting in the tail" posts. Try civilised debate and you stand the chance of getting your point across. Hit and run tactics like you are using are just designed to be irritating. I am minded, for the moment, to leave your posts.

If I get the chance it wil appear in the next hour or two. If not, then tomorrow. In any case it will be soon. The legwork is done. Just the HTML to craft now.
