No, none of the responses in this thread have broken forum rules as far as I can tell (I am a member of the AF.org staff).

I don't necessarily think that your first post violated any forum rules, however, it was a breach of etiquette. This is a discussion forum, and we are a community of sorts. Requests for participation in a survey are generally welcomed from members of our community, and from those outside the community that respect the community by asking staff if it's OK to post a survey. (I can't recall staff ever refusing a request from a student.)

Posting a student survey on your first post does not give the members of our community the feeling that you want to be part of it, or that you respect it.
