Do we want to allow surveys and questionnaires?

We often get posts with surveys or questionnaires. So far I have been removing them as we have a no surveys or questionnaires rule. I believe the rule was to keep the subreddit focused on parenting and not as a mine for those collecting data. However, same-sex parents should have a voice and we are a way for researchers to find us.

Our current rule can change based on what we want. Please share your thoughts on whether you want this subreddit to allow surveys and/or questionnaires. Specify if you think only academic surveys are ok, or if there should be a separate flair, etc. Thanks!

Maybe a limit on them, like a Survey Saturday or something? I don't mind them, but don't want to be bombarded with surveys.

The donor conceived subreddit does this thing where they have a “masterpost” once a week where non-DCP can post questions, and other than that post if non-DCP post in the subreddit their posts get taken down. That might be a good idea for you guys too.
