    I'm just wondering if I can get some information concerning policy. I am currently preparing myself for a thesis and it's a topic that I know a lot of people on here could help me with. I'm planning on taking a mixed method approach of mostly quanititative analysis, backed up with qualitative analysis.

    For the qualitative side of things I would like to interview two or three people and I just want to know if this is okay with boards policy? I'm aware of the research ethics that I am obliged to uphold so no worries about that.

    Thank you in advance for the responses. :)

    I don't see a big problem, but just beware of sending unsolicited PMs. Maybe you should take a few steps.

    1. Ask relevant forum mods do they mind you carrying out research in their forum.

    2. Ask for people who are willing to get involved to (a) thank your post or (b) reply to the thread.

    3. Proceed.

    4. ???

    5. Profit.
