May Community Survey Responses

[Danny 2232]

There are several ways, getting online more and answering more modreqs, or also to just be more active on the forums and to comment when people do feedback, there are several ways. I am not going to list them, but I definitly wish admins to do one of the above in order to prove their active. 

 

Doing the ModReqs, like I mentioned can be an issue though because you do get so easily distracted by other people trying to get a hold of you for even more important things that need to be speedily dealt with. The other points are things that can well be done, but do you really think the impact will be that big? If trust's trying to be built I don't know if quite that will suffice.

 

The important work of the admin team is generally what goes un-noticed. Things ranging from the simple management of the staff to making larger decisions on the server. The credit from it does tend to go down to a single person (as well as the flack), and that's the person who makes the call. That's something that really won't change.

 

I do agree that a more public image is a necessity, and I do think that things as simple as wandering around the forums and posting - this is something I failed to do as time went by, although I was at one point almost at the top of the posting list every day, it died out and I slowed down - instead of just reading, they do need to reply. Perhaps if smaller things like this were all done, by each team member, it might improve that image.

 

And when it comes to periods of inactivity, like Viper's - temporary removal from the rank until they return is the only appropriate action. Permanent isn't the best way, as as far as I know, Viper is going to return, but it looks atrocious when you have people designated as a staff member and they haven't been on in ages.

 

Just to clarify, I ain't arguing against you - I'm totally in agreement that the perception that the playerbase has of the admin team does need to change and that can be done via the admins pursuing a more community-based role, it's finding the best ways to do that that's the struggle.

 

But hey, my feedback means exactly the same as everyone else's these days - I can't make it happen, although I would if I could, we just have to hope that one of the admins hops along and reads this thread, maybe even posts a reply to the matter on it.

why is everyone surprised about the results when they are the ones who voted

[Thatpyrodude 2008]

make me chuckle

[VonEbs 1224]

Edit: I am confused by the graph for the Admin data. It seems like you indicated more people voted 1 then actually did.

[bickando 3967]

Averages don't look like graphs

(Especially Media Team)

Did you use correct formula?

I went through the data, and the averages are correct. The graphs just drastically overstate the percentage/number of people who selected a rating of 1.

 

For example, 35 people selected 1 for the admin out of 140 polled, and though 1 was the most popular answer, more like a fourth of those polled selected it, not 50ish%.

The only staff team that really strikes out at me negatively are the Event Team, and The Tech Team

Developers, for example. Which Developers do you think are working the hardest? Its very difficult to tell as 99% of what they are doing is not going to be seen for a while.

 

 

 

Actually I am pretty sure none of the developers save maybe Freya and I are doing any "developing."

Then can I be one? I'm really good at giving baseless opinions and doing nothing!

This is why approximately 0 people like the FM team. I was told to make those posts by Jistuma, the creator of the thread. And even if nobody told me to it's obviously a joke. Maybe if FMs weren't so damn trigger happy and anal about everything there wouldn't be a problem, I want this warning gone

Chill Matt, she's a relatively new FM. In general, the FM's have improved by leaps and bounds. I'm sure if you explain the situation, it can be resolved :P

Chill Matt,

That's just an example btw, Bird was just unlucky enough to provoke my ire at 8:30am on a wednesday morning

Obviously I didn't know you had been told to post there, but it is an RP thread in the RP forums and it was an OOC response... so, yah know, don't do that. :\

Actually finding reasonable, constructive criticism in the responses is a daunting task. There are a few decent ones in there so I guess it's worth a look but still way to much one liners with "1" votes.
