Posting anonymously to feedback section

[SuF]

This has been tried before but it died out(Maybe because Sin disappeared idk). Honestly though, I don't think this is needed. Nobody should be afraid to leave feedback, whether it's good or bad.

Hardly anyone used it and then Sin left so it was stopped.

The staff aren't corrupt contrary to popular opinion.

Who said they were? Im just saying there are atleast one or two who wouldnt approve negative feedback concerning themselves regardless of how it is written. Also for you to impky there isnt a SINGLE corrupt staff member is laughable. Flat out laughable.

My how times have changed.

Would you prefer it to not be moderated and literally every post made by whoever wants to post something be approved instantly? There's way too much potential for abuse.

No I already mentioned this flaw.

Then someone else would If it wasnt just flaming ofc

That's just a lot of the doom and gloom that gets posted around lol

Thoughts on this?

While I'd say some of the previous threads have been closed prematurely perhaps it's something we as a team can look at easing up on instead to remove some of the stigma that exists in giving feedback.

Support. Only other Admin staff's or+ can see who posted what, they can still be infracted.

That sounds ridiculous if someone chooses not to trade with you because they don't agree with your feedback that is meant to be constructive.

Personally if you can straight out give a staff negative or constructive feedback, you'd earn respect from me. If you don't want the public to see it, whether it be for your own good or the staff's, I'm sure you could always PM them.

I am not against this suggestion, however I won't be supporting it either.

 

[Black Lab]

Are you referring to feedback for staff or for regular users after trading with them?

Both. Mainly for staff right now as I have only dabbled in trading

Honestly though, I don't think this is needed. Nobody should be afraid to leave feedback, whether it's good or bad.

While I agree on both counts, I feel like newer users are definitely more likely to be afraid to contribute. If it's easy to implement, I'm for it.

Support, even though I don't have any feedback I've been holding back if I ever thought someone in a position of power is being egotistical then it's very hard for me to give an honest feedback.

You can PM an Admin if you like and they can bring it up with said person without breaking your anonymity

Not helpful since a lot of feedback grievances are directed at admins :|

It's not fair but it's the truth.

 

Then give it to a different Admin

I believe everyone should stand behind what they say. If you're afraid to post because someone might think differently of you, well that's life.

I've seen systems like this implemented before, and more times than not, they didn't work out for one reason or another.

No support.

 

[Emperor Nero]

For users definitely not, but for staff maybe. If I have something to say I'll say it and not pussyfoot around the point.

I agree fully. But do not see it happening any time soon.

Some people just cant handle criticism. These people are most often the ones who need the criticism. Im talking half way well written criticism, not "Jack Goffs a faggot cuz he didnt handle my report x way " ect but criticism written with couth. Providing reasoning, examples and or suggestions, that sort of thing.

Either way with no way to deter staff from moderating which feedback is published this suggestion is at a stand still.

If its passed itll be trolled often and used as a soapbox for anonymous whiny bitches.

If its passed with the stipulation thats the feedback is approved by a moderator it would be redundant.

 

The issue is that if anonymous posts don't need moderated then it opens the gates for anyone not allowed on Sythe to spam, CC dumps more often, etc etc

 

I don't think the feedback section should have an anonymous post option because if you have an issue or problem with someone you should just confront the person face to face, it avoids a lot of drama and will save a lot of time.

This area of the forum is for staff feedback and there shouldn't be any issues with staff handling reports immaturely or rudely since they are all required to act maturely when receiving constructive criticism.

Additionally as others have mentioned there could be many problems and issues with spam or moderation that really isn't necessary.

tl:dr = if you have a problem speak up and don't be a coward about it

If there is a big demand for it from the community anybody may feel free to recreate this thread.
For now, denied as there are PM's to members that are in higher staff ranks, as Roary explained above.
