Chit Chat Survey & Awards 2014
Apologies for the delay, but this year I've created two surveys so that it's easier to collate the answers. I've added an option to abstain from answering so that you don't have to answer every question if you don't wish to do so.
You can take the survey here - http://eSurv.org?s=LJKEOL_e9d4e53a
You can take the awards here - http://eSurv.org?s=LJKEOJ_b7400f
The survey and awards will close on Thursday, December 11th. Results will be announced from 10pm UK time on Friday, December 12th.
So what happened?
Jesus Christ time flies. I remember seeing this posted just the other day.
"We have seen: a social revolution possesses a total point of view because – even if it is confined to only one factory district – it represents a protest by man against a dehumanized life" - Marx
"But to push ahead to the victory of socialism we need a strong, activist, educated proletariat, and masses whose power lies in intellectual culture as well as numbers." - Luxemburg

Sorry, I've not had much time lately, plus there's been very few answers submitted. I'll give people a bit longer.
How many is a few?
At the moment, there's 16 survey results, up from about 12 a few days ago. There's seven Awards results, up from about 5 a few days ago.
When you want to reschedule? Later in month or early next month perhaps?

Revolutionaries don't spend all day on a messageboard. Action is realisation of the polemic.

I'll see how many new answers I get in the next week.
If we don't get 30-50 at least then is there much point?
Probably not. I think next time the number of questions should be cut.
I'll fill out a survey as soon as I get a chance.
"I'm not interested in indulging whims from members of your faction."
Seeing as this is seen as acceptable by an admin, from here on out when I have a disagreement with someone I will be asking them to reference this. If you want an explanation of my views, too bad.
I couldn't answer most of the questions so I just trolled most of it
"We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass." Karl Marx
I can help you out the next time if you wish. Btw, I'm really sorry for almost forgetting this RA. I just finally filled them in.
How about sending a mass PM/email to users before doing the ceremony, to get a few more replies?

Sure, and that's OK.
That would be a good idea, if we get enough replies.
I meant a mass pm/email at some point before the awards are held, for example today, in order to get in more replies.

I do think the questions need to be substantially shorter. I think it should just be the revleft ones, specifically about members and threads. Perhaps a few about the best politicl org or what have you. No more than 15-20 questions at the most.
Yeah, there are too many questions. I haven't had time to sit down and answer them all yet, because it takes time to remember the best shitstorms, etc!
"Her development, her freedom, her independence must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children unless she wants them; by refusing to become a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc. ... by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will make her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women."~ Emma Goldman

Agreed, also some of the questions were just a bit hard to answer. I struggled with Shitstorm of the year myself, because I'm not sure we had a proper one this time? It should imo include at least a few restrictions/bans of long standing members, one or two demoddings and someone throwing a fit and leaving after vowing to never return, to be counted.
Examples would include the Chit Chat Coup of '08, the closure of the CC -09, the Nazi Gamer Conspiracy -11 etc.
Favourite unbanned member was pretty hard too, I'm not sure if we unbanned anyone this year? I don't think people activating/deactivating their accounts voluntarily count, or do they?
