Great work here Han. Always glad to see high quality work come out of things like this.

 

i like how i know exactly which responses are mine

good work han

 

Ooft, this is going to be a difficult read for some people

 

Great survey, Han!
Had a hearty chuckle at some of the responses listed here. Good shit man.

 

Interesting opinions and responses all around. Was fun to read through.
The view of staff is disappointing, even if most are okay or satisfied. The majority response should be "staff is good" not "staff is tolerable I guess".

But I'm not a psychic, nor are any of the other staff, to my knowledge. I applied for the community, so failing the community sucks.
If you have feedback on how I could do better, please reach out and let me know, doesn't matter if it's big or minor. Same thing if you have feedback on how the team could do better in general.

And finally, we're just players who can enforce the server rules, we are not and should not be separate from the general community.
We are and should be part of it, on equal footing with everyone else, with everything that entails.

Just my opinion on the results, thanks for doing it Han... But where is the Scotty meme graph? I think it is vital that we see the result of that poll

 

I'm betting this guy said Better.

 

SGM DYING

...

I mean thriving

...

Thanks for providing the insight it really helps tell the mood of the community and issues with the staff team.

 

A lot of in-depth insight on what people think about the staff, the updates and just the community as a whole. Thank you for doing this, Han. The criticism, suggestions and so on that came from this are definitely noted.

 

I say we demote everyone and start fresh

 

I got your entry post

But on a serious note - thank you for the feedback here.
