We received the survey invitation and can't believe what we are seeing

I had already completed this survey. And it is completely different from what I am thinking now. What happened to me? No, it did not. There is a terrible flaw in the code of this questionnaire. Moreover, I was able to read the text as well as the choices in the survey that others had answered. I need to close this survey page and get to work on fixing it as soon as possible.

We will report a bug in the Wayfarer questionnaire. My impressions are leaking. Please correct it as soon as possible.

The survey is broken. While filling out the pages I came to the next page that was already filled. Then the next page already had the text of someone else.

There’s a major mishap and potential data leak

Can you let us know when it’s fixed?

I don’t want to bother answering now, and clobbering some other Explorer’s answers. Also I don’ want to risk my answers being clobbered by yet another Explorer.

Hello Explorers,
Thank you for reporting the issue with our survey and my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience. We have found the issue and applied a fix. All impacted surveys will be removed from the pool. If you took the survey in Japanese or German before now, we welcome you to retake the survey using the link below. You’ll be able to change the language setting on the top right corner.

If you jump to the questionnaire from the link described in the wayfarer’s questionnaire email, you can still read other people’s answers. Has this problem really been solved?

Be certain to mention this fact when you get to the feedback box, or copy it and post it here if somebody else has already filled it in.

I am experiencing the same phenomenon. When I go to the link from the email I received, it opens a survey that someone else has completed.
This is my guess, but I suspect that when the link in your email is accessed, it is programmed to create a personalized file for each parameter. However, I suspect that due to some error, the file is not created, and in that case, the latest file created by someone else is accidentally opened. My friend who opened the link at the same time I did opened an identical completed survey.
It is not a good situation where the text as well as the survey choices you have entered can be read. It would be better to first delete the html file of the survey from the server, announce the temporary suspension by e-mail, and then give an e-mail of reopening and new parameters after the modifications are done.

Thank you for your response. I will cooperate with the survey via the link in this topic, not via email.

Unfortunately, in my personal opinion, many trainers do not even know this community exists and therefore do not get to the topic.

Could you please email me the correct link again? Hopefully more information will reach your team.

@CrownFeather @kowloonsgt @ARPeggioRev2 Have you tried using the link that Tintino posted in their response, not the one from the email? Here it is again.

It doesn’t sound as if the emails will be resent, as the issue is only affecting those using Japanese and German. I didn’t have this issue in English when using the link from the email I received.

Indeed, I was able to get a new survey form by accessing that link. Thanks.
But we can still use the link in the email to view and even tamper with other people’s surveys. This is still a serious glitch.

I doubt you’re able to tamper with others’ answers now since th fix was applied. Tintino even said that all impacted surveys will be removed.

Keep in mind that not all Wayfarers even fill out the survey, so Niantic may have received the amount of responses they were looking for already. It’s a worldwide survey, not one for any certain region.

This is still the case today. You can see that the problem is still going on, as it shows just before 14:00 Japan time in the upper left corner.

Most Japanese people do not read this forum written in English. Even now, someone is answering the questionnaire from the email. I think the questionnaire is usually anonymous, so I will write my impressions honestly. And now that it should have been posted that it had been corrected, the impression is still leaking. Do you want your impressions to the management to be read to others? You don’t want to be read, do you?

The problem has not been solved. It is very dishonest to those who answered the questionnaire honestly.

Could you consider resending the link to the correct questionnaire by e-mail?
