I am doing a survey for my college writing class on bullying. I have decided to survey the gaming community to see the response. The data collected will be used to write a report. If you would be so kind as to take the survey and possibly send it to anyone else that may be interested i would be most thankful.

I looked at the linked survey and since my question #4 answer for both is "No", none of the subsequent questions apply. Since #5 is how severe, since my answer was "no" in question #4, the severity option of "0" should have been made available. So with the lack of options, I opted to not answer the survey - sorry.

Same here. All the questions are mandatory, but if I vote "no" on question 4 I can't answer them.

Ditto. Apparently the survey is only for gamers who experienced bullying...

Does this include online bullying? Because that is fairly rife in the gaming community (and I assume others, too).

...This survey does not appear to be very neutral. It implies that there is a natural correlation between bullying and gaming.
...There has been no bullying in my online, or tabletop, gaming experience from within the gaming community. I think that the community actually does a good job of insulating its members from bullying from within.
...At the table, I find that most gamers are quick to stop any bullying from taking place. As for being online, sure there are some strange, mouthy people on boards, including myself, but any quality board will have decent moderators which quickly squash any type of bullying.
...I was bullied when I was younger, but not for gaming. In my experience, bullys do not really need an excuse to be abusive.
...Like others have pointed out, Question #5 needs a 0 option
