Yes but multiple alts can skew the results or inflate them.

Like I said we truly can not evade bias based off of the Alternate accounts and volunteer bias. I am thinking a Random sample/survey which would still be subject to volunteer bias, but would eliminate the ALT. If we where doing it in game. Is that possible CraftyMyner?

Also I left out the free response due to people using their names. Which was not a requirement.

The link is here. Please realize that this is not representative of the size and more importantly it is considered bias due to the volunteer factor.

I am, hence why the test run is here my friend.

Yes, I know @Grassling however sadly when it comes to this situation I am creating a new system to get the appropriate response for this survey so both sides are equally represented. If myself or CM attempt to take a survey it will always have bias. We can not effectively remove the bias. That is why you use your parameters and discuss the limitations of the study. I am just trying to get an idea of what kind of beast we are facing here. In order to slay the beast you must first know it's nature.

So please take into account that this an objective survey. The goal is to understand the problems with the server and to inform both sides of what is going on. Please note that as of right now the sample size is not fully representative to the population size due to a lack of respondents. So with this being said Let us dive into the Survey itself.

When conducting the Survey, I wished to shed light on a few parameters. 1) What is the relationship currently with the Staff and Player community. 2) What are things that people are not happy with 3) Do the Players Feel like they have a voice.

After getting my results, I was a little surprised to find the data spread as it is. Which only stimulate the mind and bring forth more questions on the relationship between the two parties and the "politics" of the server have impacted each other. I will be posting photos for each on so that everyone may see the data that I have collected. A better, neural survey is currently being constructed and will be presented in the next week or so. As I see this as being both an interesting opportunity to show both sides what the other is talking about. If I could get more respondents I would appreciate it.

Also I would never attempt to tamper with the survey. Unlike other people on the server ( Some Staff or Players) Like I said I am objective and shall present the actual survey when it is finished and meets my inquires parameters in the appropriate manner.

My Survey is not necessarily as flawed as you suggest. I was able to ban IP and extra devices. Allowing for one and only one take of the survey. This is however just a test run. Did any of you study stats in college?
