Nov 26, 2019 at 16:41 comment added motosubatsu @PeterMortensen "directly" might be overstating things a tad - those free form text fields are going to be fed through a coding algorithm to convert them to generic versions and then fed to the Data Team who will use them to produce overall trend information and those trends are what will influence decision makers.
Nov 26, 2019 at 0:40 comment added This_is_NOT_a_forum To be fair, there is a survey up. And with free form text fields with space for at least 581 characters. There is the chance to directly influence decisions makers. Make it count.

Nov 25, 2019 at 23:24 comment added JJJ @Raedwald dictating the desired narrative to a few interns and having them write something up is even easier. No surprises. I know people who used to have their doctors do that. Works well till the disease catches up and you have to explain unscheduled hospital visits.
Nov 25, 2019 at 23:24 comment added Stop Harming the Community @Raedwald The survey is linked to from the blog post, so it's not selected users that are answering.
Nov 25, 2019 at 23:06 comment added Raedwald Freeform text from a small number of selected users is surely more practical than from an enormous group.
Nov 25, 2019 at 23:03 comment added Stop Harming the Community @Raedwald The survey is entirely free form text.
Nov 25, 2019 at 22:10 comment added Raedwald Is free firm text feedback practical at scale? They are claiming it is not. To make them change their mind, you would have to prove it can be made practical. The mess that is MSE suggests they are right.
Nov 25, 2019 at 18:45 comment added John Dvorak You know... it's interesting that, because communication is so important, they're doing away with a feedback method that allows for communication and replacing it with a slotted blackbox that whirs gently each time you submit a feedback.
Nov 25, 2019 at 18:44 comment added SmrtGrunt @ChrissaysReinstateMonica I was trying to be a little generous.
