I have definitely noticed that many people disappear after posting surveys.
We get a pretty wide variety of surveys: Some surveys are created by actual researchers, and others by students doing homework. Some surveys are very generic and could be asked in any language classroom. Other surveys are extremely specific, and could really only be asked on a forum similar to this one. Some researchers are happy to follow up. Others just post a survey and disappear.
One of the big reasons we still approve surveys from new users is because tons of people always respond, "Oh, a survey, how fun! Let me fill it out." As long as enough people enjoy surveys, we're happy to keep approving them.
But, ultimately, this question is up to the community: Do you still enjoy doing surveys? Or are they getting boring? Or would you like the mods to be a bit choosier about which surveys we approve? We'll read everybody's responses, look at the survey results, and then go ahead and make an arbitrary and capricious decision. But at least it will be a well-informed capricious decision!
(And of course, none of this will affect surveys posted by regular forum members. As usual, people who are part of the community get considerably more leeway in posting about their projects.)
