Could you of not just filled the form out? Fucking hell!
It's better organised if it's done this way, if it was just a random thread it would be a mess and then it would turn into spam and the same thing would be repeated over and over and over, I don't really see how that helps
You say it's annoying, well i find you annoying with all your "I don't agree with anyone so i come out with nonsical bull shit" Get over yourself, there's no need for it
Do a better job and spend your time organising something and maybe i'll shut up
*Leaves*
Oh, so now my opinion is "nonsical bullshit", and I need to get over myself? Come ON, give me a break. I'm allowed to have an opinion. It annoys me, how you guys try to act all proffessional all the time. It's the internet, for god's sake. You can act a bit more human you know. I think things like this make the gap between members and staff quite large, and therefore disrupt the site's unity. I'd like to know that I'm more than just a name on the survey, and that I can converse with the staff comfortably and maturely about things I dislike (AKA not being told to get over myself and that the things I say are nonsical bullshit). The last thread DID have suggestions, you guys just chose to jump to the defense because you disagreed with the points being made.
But, really, nice job. It's good to know the staff will always be there, able to happily accept the critism thrown at them without, um, overreacting. It wasn't meant to be mean, it was just a point I wanted to make. Now, let's all breathe and TRY to take what I have into consideration, ok?
Oh and, um, I'm actually quite busy outside of bandaids, and I'm organising plenty on non-interweb things, it's just hard to organise stuff on here because, well, I'm just a member. I did help out with the Invisible Children forum, though.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
I'm going to ask everyone in this thread, to have a little condsideration for everyone. If you don't want to fill out the survey, that's your prerogative. If you do, your comments are appreciated. Thanks to everyone who filled one out!
Let me just make this clear that I think you guys are doing a pretty good job, and I'm happy with how things are going, it's just that things like this really irritate me. I'm not one of those "zomg staff = horrible peoplez" people.

Well... it came out wrong. Sorry. It happens to everyone sometimes.
I just want to be able to converse on this. That's all. I don't want to fill out a survey and have it become one in a million, I want to talk about it. It would seem more intimiate, and I personally would like that more.
Just... give me a break. I think I've made it clear that sometimes I say things wrong. I mean, I don't think I deserved to be told I utter nonsical shit or whatever he said. Maybe I'm a bit biased, but I'm allowed to think that.
And I really DO think you guys are doing a god job. I just wish you'd interact with us a bit more.
There. Was that better?

I think you need to realise that Bandaids isn't just about YOU, it is about everyone.
The surveys are there for the criticism. Knock yourself out
I'm allowed to say what I think, though. If you guys want to do the survey, knock yourself out. Have a grand time. I just wish they'd go about collecting feedback differently. That's my own little smithereen of feedback. You guys don't have to agree with it, and I don't see how it's making me seem like I think bandaids is all about me. I'm just using my right to express that - you don't even have to acknowledge me.
But I'm sorry, ok? Apparently that offended some people, and that really isn't what I was intending to do. When I said that I was having a bad night. In that post I was just sticking up for myself. That's really all there is to it.

But the staff can't go around to hundreds of members one by one and talk to them about it. The surveys will mean that they can get a broader perspective on Bandaids.
Amy, I'm sorry you feel that way about us - or more likely, about me. Can we talk about this in a PM? Also, you guys are always free to drop us a PM with any suggestions on making the forum better. You don't have to wait for us to ask you guys.
The survey idea was supposed to be a new, fresh way to give us feedback in an organized format. I'm sorry that you didn't like that idea. Next time any of us post something you're not comfortable about, feel free to PM the threadmaker or even seek to make your own feedback thread.
