In today's world where online interactions can sometimes feel anonymous or unreliable, Have you ever wondered how to ensure that the right people are participating in your survey, particularly those active in specific online communities like Reddit? In a world where digital identities are increasingly important, verifying the authenticity of respondents is crucial. This is where Reddit Identity Verification and Social Gating in BlockSurvey come into play.

What is the Reddit Social Verification Feature?

BlockSurvey’s Reddit Social Verification allows respondents to verify the authenticity of your respondents by linking their Reddit profiles to their survey responses. This feature ensures that the data you collect is tied to real Reddit accounts, adding a layer of trust and reliability to your survey results.

What is Reddit Social Gating?

BlockSurvey’s social gating capability lets you set specific conditions for survey participation based on a respondent's Reddit activity. You can create gates based on criteria like being on an Allow list, account age, and having a certain number of link karma or comment karma. This ensures that only those who meet your predefined criteria can access and complete your survey. By using this a survey creator can ensure that only the most relevant and engaged users participate in the survey.

Benefits of Reddit social verification in forms and surveys

  1. Enhanced Data Integrity: Verifying Reddit profiles ensures that responses come from real users, reducing the chances of receiving fake or bot-generated data.
  2. Targeted Audiences: Reach the exact audience you need by filtering respondents based on their Reddit activity and engagement levels.
  3. Improved Trust and Engagement: Respondents are more likely to trust a survey that respects their online identity and takes steps to ensure that their feedback is valued.
  4. Seamless Verification: Unlike traditional surveys, BlockSurvey's Reddit verification and social gating features automate the process, saving time and reducing the potential for errors.

How to Collect Reddit Identity Using BlockSurvey?

BlockSurvey has made it incredibly simple for survey creators to integrate Reddit verification into their surveys by following these simple steps:

  1. Choose and add the Reddit Question in your survey from the list of available question types in BlockSurvey.

  2. Set Social Gating Conditions: Once you’ve added the Reddit question to your survey, head over to the "Social Gating" tab. Here, you can define the gating conditions like being on an Allow list, account age, having a certain number of link karma or comment karma
  3. BlockSurvey allows you to set multiple gating conditions to refine your survey's accessibility. You can combine various criteria to ensure that respondents meet all your requirements before they can participate or submit their responses.
  4. Publish and Test: After configuring your Reddit social verification and social gating conditions, it’s time to publish your survey. To ensure everything is working as expected, submit a sample response. Verify that the gating conditions are correctly applied and that respondents are appropriately filtered based on your criteria.
  5. Submission Process: Verified users will be able to access and complete the survey seamlessly

Use Cases for Reddit Social Verification

  • Community Feedback: When seeking input from a specific subreddit, you can use Reddit verification to ensure only members of that community participate.
  • Market Research: Reddit Gating surveys to only include respondents with a specific level of Reddit engagement ensures that your data comes from active and experienced users.
  • Opinion Polls: For sensitive or niche topics, verifying Reddit profiles can add credibility to the results by ensuring they reflect genuine opinions.
  • Exclusive Offers: Create surveys that offer rewards but gate them to ensure that only highly engaged Reddit users can access them.
