New Feedback System

[kahoku]

Dear Members,

The staff here at OKP decided that getting feedback from the masses, as in you guys, would be beneficial to help this forum grow. In other words, we want your opinions! We want to know things like: what do you all think is good and shouldn't be changed about OKP? On the other hand, what do you think is bad and needs to be changed? Do you have any specific suggestions? Also, what do you expect from the mods/admins? General questions like this are appropriate. However, please keep in mind that comments like "this forum sucks", "I don’t like this," "I hate this member," etc. are not inherently helpful and specifics will be asked of the individuals who leave such comments.

So we’ve devised a way for that to happen, anonymously if that’s what you’d prefer, so that we as the team can get a better understanding of concerns members may have. We want to make OKP the best that it can possibly be, so sharing your thoughts will be very helpful to the staff.

If you’d feel more comfortable sharing your thoughts in private rather than voting on the poll above, please pm the moderator of your choice to share your concerns regarding OKP. We recognize that some members may feel more comfortable discussing concerns with one member of the team over another, and that is okay. The moderators will then take your suggestions and critiques and discuss what is the best course of action to alleviate the concerns without mentioning your names.

To that end, there is now a shout-box located on the main webpage here.
The shout-box does not log IP addresses, so it is completely confidential. However if this method becomes abused, it will be removed from the homepage.

We would also encourage members to be open and honest regarding their concerns. There will be no hard feelings from any of the staff regarding complaints at them, nor will there be any warnings given to members who share their opinions honestly. This is meant to be a helpful feedback system, therefore everyone is encouraged to openly share all of their view points regarding OKP.

We hope that in the three methods of feedback described above: the shout-box on the homepage, the pm to a moderator of your choice, or responding to the poll at the top of this thread, that OKP can grow to better fit its members and become a closer community for its efforts.

Thank you for your help in making OKP what it is today!

~The OKP Team
