I can’t help but notice that changes are occurring site-wide that doing nothing more than piss off users. Cash Shop items are multiplying faster than rabbits, changes to our favorite games are making them less fun, and now we have a navigation bar that everyone is up in arms about. We are the donators to this site. We are the one who come here to relax. We are the reason this site exists. Let our voices be heard for a change!
There have been “notices” posted to people’s accounts on occasion, gauging how you feel about a sponsor promotion. Who gives a crap? I want to give my feedback about site issues, not money-makers! The Feedback forum constantly overflows with “you’re not listening!” complaints, so why don’t we do it the Democratic way? Vote.
Surveys don’t have to be hard for either the user or the staff, so why not limit it to a quarterly affair of five questions? Three months is plenty of time to compile data, analyze it, and sit through a couple meetings about what needs to be done.
Here are some example surveys (please note these are NOT meant to be taken in this thread):
Surveys like these don’t have to be released all at once and they don’t have to even be on one topic at a time, but they DO need to be released and we DO need to start feeling like our donations are being used for our benefit.
