I thought it was, I must have been mistaken though.

I was banned from the derpibooru discord server a little while ago (I think two weeks? I’ve been busy and lost track). Shortly after I had a friend ask in the discord when the bans would be lifted (since it was a first violation iirc). The response was “soon”, but I have not heard anything about it since then.  
The discord link has also been removed from the bottom of the page so I’m wondering if that will return sometime soon as well.
 
I know a few other people who are in a similar situation, so it would be nice if we could find out about this.

People will misunderstand even the simplest of issues. With how complex this is, I’d say it will be a fairly large portion of people.

Depends on your definition of “worse” tbh

To the people keep bringing up the fact that the poll isn’t perfectly random and/or doesn’t really cover the actual derpibooru userbase, We already know.
 
I don’t think anyone is going around saying that this is the end all be all for the discussion, and it’s just an informal poll until something more concrete comes out.  
Besides, there’s evidence that both sides have done some level of vote brigading, something that could potentially be dealt with in an official poll.

Raptorshy had mentioned in the discord that they might put a poll on a banner on the homepage (like when they announce spoiler tags), but I’m not sure about that now.

When it comes to political debates, it is very rare for it to not be two vocal minorities duking it out. There’s plenty of people on both sides and especially in the middle who have not spoken up for a variety of reasons, which is why something needs to be done to get opinions from the silent majority.
 
also I know I’m replying late to your message but eh

Which staff in particular were included? Is it just the staff currently listed in the site staff list or does it also include anyone “on break”. also does this include assistants and technical teams?  
I feel like the survey should have included all staff members who were active as of the start of this mess (2 weeks ago or 2 months ago, depending on when people started resigning). As far as i currently understand, a large portion of the staff are either on a “break” or have resigned due to recent events. The ones who have recently resigned are probably the ones who have the strongest opinions, so i want to know if they were included.
 
Otherwise this survey was rather interesting to me and i would say i’d agree with the majority for of the images presented. Glad to see some progress is being made.
