Quite frankly, I don't think this will help the bonds within the community and the staff at all. Sure, you can become friends - but overall, I doubt it'll change the opinions that some have with the staff.

I've seen numerous attempts at this and they all failed.
Even then, it still won't change the fact that some moderators ignore players that ask for help completely.

All in all, it's just a game - anything you do on this website or on the server will literally have no effect on you in real life.

Feedback coming from our last meetup has appeared to us to be very positive. On the last meetup we happened to both discuss and resolve a large proportion of current affairs. As for Modeators not responding to pokes ect, they may be afk, and forgot to go to another channel or they are on a leave. If you happen to find a moderator who is neither of these, you should speak directly to a member of senior staff.

Update:

After discussion with Col_StaR we have made a few adjustments to the way the live Q&A will be organised. TL;DR, we will have a queue for people to follow rather than '?' in front of TS names.

In addition, the time has been confirmed and the first MCG CFG session is good to go!
Sounds good Kit :) Will be looking forward to it :3

Check out the notes and recording here.

Project Outline
Hello tributes! As you know we have just hit our 2 year anniversary and boy has our community grown! The community has had good times and it’s recent bad times. As a result of this, to help improve the community and strengthen the bond between the staff and the community, we are introducing the MCGamer Community Focus Groups, or CFGs. This event will be held by myself and KyleD with the help of some other really great staff members.

The main purpose of the event is to strengthen the bonds between staff and community. The way we proposed for this to work is to allow members of the community to come onto TeamSpeak to address problems within the community to the staff in an attempt to collaborate with the staff to make these problems better. This steps aside from technical problems and feature suggestions and dives right into the current affairs. Regular rules such as posting mod apps/ban disputes will be looked aside but genuine problems will be addressed - if you break these rules you will not be allowed in future meetings.

Each session is to be no longer than 2 hours and to be held biweekly(every other week than staff meeting weeks) on the MCGamer TeamSpeak in a channel giving focus group helpers talk power. Pre submission questions/concerns/points will be addressed first followed by live Q&A. A maximum time of 1 hour for each will be provided. All questions/concerns/points will be noted down by a note taker and the sessions will be recorded. Notes will be publicly available and passed directly to Senior Staff in attempt for them to discuss problems addressed in Senior Staff meetings.

A group of staff members have been invited to take part in this event and as such will be the main staff members answering points addressed by the community with help from the Senior Staff. During the live Q&A, people who wish to speak must submit an entry on a form we will provide right before we begin the live Q&A and we will follow an order shown by the document log as a first-come-first-served basis.

We hope to see you all there and hopefully we can begin to call this community a family.
FANTASTIC IDEA! i love it. this will really make the community bond a lot stronger! :) and well done to MCgamer for their 2 year anniversary! <3 i love the idea with the CFG group as i think that will go really well :) it will be awesome to see plenty of staff members take part! especially in the Q'n'A! 10/10 kitmencha and kyled18 ;)

This sounds like one of those groups they have at school to get people to know each other, but people are to busy to join it. It's still a great idea BtW :p
