Community Q&A + Feedback Survey by MidnightBeats November 9, 2015 at 1:11 AM UTC

As part of my promises as an Administrator, tntpotato and I have finalized and finished the "Community Q&A and Feedback Survey." This is an event that will (hopefully) increase some transparency between the community and staff, as well as allow the community to openly provide feedback to improve the Staff team and Map Developer team.

How will this work?

Q&A: Instructions
There will be two components to this event. The first is the Community Q&A, which will take place on this thread. The idea is that the community will ask any questions they have for the Staff team and Map Developer team. For example, you can ask questions such as "When are the next staff applications," "Is there going to be a staff reassessment?" and "Where can I post my map?"

All responses will be provided by the staff team, including the Administrators, and Map Developers will provide answers to Map Development related questions. All other responses are unofficial. 

You may also provide constructive criticism on the Staff and Map Development team, not aggressive criticism. 

Survey: Instructions

The survey is the second component to this event. You will be provided a link to a survey that TNT and I have prepared, where you will answer a series of questions that pertain to Avicus (staff team, map development, server). 

The responses are anonymous; you are free to provide as much criticism as you like, but remember, please keep the responses respectful.

Do not send troll responses.

Survey Link

All troll responses on this thread will be archived. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in a forum punishment.

Well, ask away!

Man, that was so long I feel some sense of achievement after filling it out. Good job in the amount of questions, seriously. A lot of place to express your opinions =D

FrozenThorn November 9, 2015 at 7:11 PM UTC

'small survey' It took me forever to fill it out xD

DaFrozenBlaze November 9, 2015 at 7:11 PM UTC

It's so long ;-; I don't feel like filling it up.

You do always have to option to either save your answers in a word document, or doing the required questions, then editing your answers in time. :P

I designed the survey so that if people do not want to do the long answers, they do not have to. We want the replies to be as accurate as possible, but we understand that not everybody has the time to do the entire survey in one sitting, hence why I enabled people being allowed to edit their response. xP

Speaking of those responses, I'm liking the responses  from everyone so far! In less than 24 hours we've already gotten an amazing amount of feedback about Avicus in general, which we really appreciate! I promise you that this feedback will be considered/listened to. Thank you, everyone! The feedback about the thread/survey itself is also really appreciated, I'm happy that it turned out well. x)

Is it ok if I leave some questions blank?

Howsie November 9, 2015 at 9:11 PM UTC

Gah. Make a TL;DR version please

FrozenThorn November 9, 2015 at 10:11 PM UTC

Is it ok if I leave some questions blank?
I'm sure that is fine,if you do not want to answer the question that's okay but it is preferred you do so we can get as much feedback as possible! :P

TheTNTPotato November 9, 2015 at 11:11 PM UTC

Is it ok if I leave some questions blank?
Totally up to you. Made some questions required since those questions are by far the most important (IMO), but leaving some blank is fine. :P

Sevoo November 10, 2015 at 12:11 AM UTC

Done.

Jake41901 November 10, 2015 at 5:11 PM UTC

Finished, check on the very last question for my Skype. I'd love to talk a little more about these topics 1 on 1, so if any of you get the chance, contact me there. Thanks!

AtditC November 10, 2015 at 7:11 PM UTC

I filled it out but not sure if it was sent through. This is looking really promising that the staff team are taking on board so much from the community! Staff - community transparency +1

Vobaseball12 November 10, 2015 at 10:11 PM UTC

I haven't seen many questions...This is a Q&A as well, feel free to post them in here if you have any!

Spoookeh November 10, 2015 at 10:11 PM UTC

Will a teamspeak Q&A session be implemented?

MidnightBeats November 11, 2015 at 12:11 AM UTC

Will a teamspeak Q&A session be implemented?
Possibly... It depends on how much people would like the idea.

A teamspeak Q&A woould be really nice.
When Jozz had wanted to implement someone's idea with a few "voices of the community" I suggested a teamspeak Q&A where its streamed as well and Sr's + can answer some questions that they have instead of having a certain chosen group of people to ask for them.

When will staff applications open again? My guess is Late December/Early January.

Staff Applications will open most likely towards the new year.
