Dear Hanxuan, I did a quick pass on your meta page. Thank you for creating it. Unfortunately I will not have bandwidth to look into the survey and your page in more detail. However, to be very clear: this is not a blocker for your research. :) Others may decide to check out your survey or meta page and give you feedback. I do recommend that you keep an eye on the "Discussion" tab of your meta page as folks may leave comments there over time.
