Hello all,

Some of you may remember I did a survey around 18 months ago (perhaps longer) to which I got a huge response to. It helped me improve the site significantly to bring you what you see now.

Today I would like to ask you to fill in a survey for me again. The survey is anonymous (It does not ask for your name or any identifiable details), so you can be sure I can't be biased about how I act upon what is written.

Click here to view the survey

The survey is hosted on Google Docs, as it was the most suitable way to do it (thanks for finding that Craig).

I thank you all in advance for taking the time to take the survey. I should have some interesting results soon enough.

Andy (Admin)

I took it. Just one thing, Rioter is being a little too harsh. No offence, Rioter.

Done.

Interesting take on the subject. Instead of the regular "PRAISE ME OR DIE", for once, a forum survey that includes highlighting good and bad points of the administrators.

Just took the survey, and then realized that I forgot to point out something... but then promptly forgot it after eating.
@day2Die: AMEN!

Doing the survey more.
Are we going to get statistics back from this? (How many people submitted a survey, how many people thought this, etc)

@day2Die: Couldn't agree more.

So far there have been 45 responses :) There have also been some really interesting comments too. Thanks to everyone who has taken it so far. I'd still like to see more people taking it though, 45 people is only a very small portion of the sites active members.

I may publish some results when the survey is over, I haven't decided yet.

I will probably get another warning just for agreeing.

No? & No? to the two above. I may be a bit on the harsh side sometimes, but i'm not corrupt.

I'd have no problem with Rioter being harsher still personally, as long as he keeps a level head about it.

I personally have never had an issue with Rioter. And with the way people have been acting the mods do need to put their feet down.

No offense betacollector21, but I think if you have a problem with one of the members/moderators, you should take it up with them via email/PM vs. throwing out names in the forum.

I see nothing wrong with Rioters moderation, the opposite in fact, it's quite good.
