Good thing you have nothing to be concerned about. This is by far the most extensive set of CCP comments we've heard about the CSM all year, and it pales in comparison to the collective feedback provided by the player base. We've enjoyed far, far more compliments from the community that we'll ever receive from CCP - and its THAT feedback we value the most, because you're the reason we put the time and effort in to begin with. Ok after having done a little bit of looking I am yet to find a blog posted in the last 6 months from non-csm members that have actually praised CSM7s actions except Two Step. There are a lot of blogs maybe you could point me in the direction of a few as you have been praised so much by the community.
Do you think feedback only comes in blogs? What about the various podcasts where I have heard good things? What about people mailing the CSM members? In game chat? Bloggers will use anything to generate hits and controversy is usually a good way to do that. What better way to do that then rip into a high profile target like the CSM.
The bias in this post is so obvious. You go out of your way to try and belittle the CSM everywhere on these forums, and this is just another example. |

You really haven't listened hard enough. There has been criticism, but in general support.
And the fact that you think the voting system is rigged is enough to make me want to stop talking with you. |

The wright-STV voting system was designed for the Australian Senatorial elections. Australian elections are compulsory, failure to vote earns you a fine.
Just as a side note I am an Australian (you can find evidence of this all over these forums), and I have never voted (and I'm 24 years old), yet I have never gotten a fine. Maybe I'm just lucky hey.
Everyone agrees that voter turn out needs to increase, but the system needed a change too. The problem is that if we waited to increase the voter turn out, we'd be waiting till the servers go down. |

CCP has never done this much promotion before, now while it needs some fixing up it was a damn site better than ever before. So if they had done that for the next year or 2 and then introduced the drag of an STV, it would have worked out a lot better. The fear is when introducing a more complex voting system with such a low percentage is that we will have a less representative council than we would have with the old system with the extra publicity. Oh and as to your lack of fines, don't worry, if you are ever cornered by the AEC and put on the voting roles, you will be fined for every time you have failed to vote since the day you turned 18.
So it all comes back to the representative council again, because you don't like null blocs. At the end of the day I've already made my position on that clear. The CSM is representative of the players that voted. Now if people don't like the representation that the CSM provides, they can vote for new representatives in the next election, but they need to do something.
And I won't be fined as I am already enrolled and have valid reason to not vote (religious background). |

Now I know in the last census Jedi Knight made a considerable jump in percentages as a religion, but what religion makes you immune to voting fines?
Jehovah's Witness. Now even more reason to hate us all >:) |
