Hi @rose , I just want to confirm that I am in no way using the posts on this forum as data. Yes, as you mentioned I have not obtained participant consent so I cannot use information posted here as data for research. Also, as per the "community guidelines" moderator post, I cannot post a survey to collect data without contacting them first.
I have been delighted with many of the positive responses I have received, however, I completely understand your reservations. I have just contacted the moderators to clarify this issue. Of course, I will remove my posts if needed :)
