Now, I am not the best person when it comes to explaining my thoughts and reasoning behind my choices or how I word things, but I hope you can see what I'm trying to get at here. This may not be a stellar suggestion, but imagine you were in my shoes. You don't know everything about the situation, but you do know I want peace of mind on a topic. Here goes...
I feel a little hesitant to upload a post or thread in some forums/subforums that don't have a formula for how to arrange your post. I know that not all places can have this, but thankfully some places do, such as reports and punishment appeals!
I could be the only person who thinks this way, but I'm sure that if I am the only person to speak up about it, there must be a thousand more who agree with me, but wont speak up about it.
I have noticed a lack of organization and post structure/examples in a few places around the forums, mainly staff feedback. This could be because you don't always need a structure for how to post things in some forums, but it would still be quite helpful if you included one, just so we know we aren't forgetting anything when we hover over that post button.
I am also concerned that some users might not be showing their thoughts on some threads/posts especially in the Staff Feedback category because they might be scared that they could be punished if they submit some unwanted criticism. Personally, I know that one person cannot change the whole staff team based on one upload, but I feel like there is always room for improvement. In fact, it is one of the rules I live by. Personally, I am also quite afraid that what I post may change the thoughts of me around the community. I worry sometimes that my criticism might not be what the players or staff are looking for. I feel like this could be fixed very easily by providing peace of mind that what you post in Staff Feedback (forums/subforum) wont negatively affect you in ways such as punishment or negative thoughts on you.
In a way, Staff Feedback should feel like a confession at a church. I think this in the way that you should know that what you share there is confidential. Thankfully, that forum is private to only the staff, and yourselves. However, I'm not entirely sure that it is safe to post things there. Like confession, you should be able to share almost anything there with the knowledge that people will in no way change their thoughts about you in a negative manner. This should be known as a place that you can share your thoughts on the staff team good or bad, and still know that it won't negatively affect you in the future. I personally know that this could be the difference between a lot of people speaking up about their problems, or staying silent about it.
I would write more, but I think you get the point now! Be sure to ask me any questions you have about this in the comments, I will try my best to answer them asap! Thank you for reading, and I hope you understand my concerns.
If anybody has any thoughts or suggestions on how this could be fixed, please leave them below! I am open to all kinds of feedback, good or bad! :D
Note: no, this is not supposed to be in the order of the rainbow... ^^^
