TL;DR: GamerGate has always been about ethics, and Journos should acknowledge that and come to the table, or GamerGate will beat their credibility & profits faces in with the aforementioned table.

- Survey was made for people who talk about gamergate
- Q1 – What will stop you from talking about GG?
- Q2 – What are you bothered by in gaming news?
- Q3 – What journalistic behavior bothers you the most

- First question – Majority vote on reforming ethics policies / journalists who breached ethics were sacked / sites had feedback and audits

- Second question – Majority vote on fewer tabloid style articles / fewer opinion pieces and editorials / more product review

- Third question – Majority vote on being bothered by inaccurate information used as fact / not disclosing bias / censoring reader feedback
