Petitions a waste of time? Sept 12, 2003 16:07:50 GMT -5

I've noticed that most everywhere you turn, someone has a petition going about something or other. "GET RID OF BOOCHI!" "UNFREEZE SO-AND-SO!" "BRING BACK THE OLD LENNY!" I'm just asking- do you guys actually READ petitions, or are they just food for the wastebin? I'd love to be able to tell the many people asking me to sign these infernal things that nobody cares if they don't like the new Poogle. ;D

Look what happened with Evil Monster Sightings.

That got brought back. But that didn't affect anyone by bringing it back. I'm fairly certain that if it requires more people getting upset at the results of the petition going through (like changing a pet back. Everyone I know loves the new Poogle), or changing the content of the site dramatically, it'll be ignored.

But do sign the White Weewoo petition.

I think to some extent they do have an effect. Of course, petitions like "UNFREEZE HAPPYBABYNEO3289749823748932EIJ23YE" probably will be ignored, but I'm sure the staff does look at the things people have to say and takes into consideration the points that are being made and the popularity behind it.

Then again, it is their site, so they nessicarly arn't going to bend to the will of everyone.

I thought I'd reiterate here that there will be no chapter called 'Lupin's Papers' in book six, nor will there be 'Pettigrew's Pamphlets', 'Sirius's Circulars' or 'The Pocket Crosswords of Severus Snape'.

=P

Linny-senpai is right ^_^; The Neopets team do what they think is good, which is usually what the majority of Neopians think is good. So the non-majority complain while the majority are happy.

Usually, the happy people are quiet, and the complainers aren't as quiet and they make you sign petitions and everythings ^^;;

Here, we sometimes do it for fun and we talk about stuffu, and that's quite a different matter. We all have out oppinions.

White Weewoos Own! ^^

I know that everyone wants a White Weewoo to name 'Hedwig' and all, but that's not the kind of petition I mean. People started a petition to rid us of Boochi and it has ALOT of signatures, but I want to know whether or not it even makes a difference. Asking for a new petpet color is ALOT different than asking for a "Report this Post" button in the chats.

Acutaly, i was talking about the Boochi matter. But in any case I doubt such a thing would really matter to the staff for a few reasons...

1) There has to be the occasional thorn in your side. What fun would it be if everything went your way on Neopets? No challenge.
2) For the 1 person who whines about getting their pet changed to baby is about 10 people who are contsnatly refreshing, hopeing to get that.

So once again I'll say no. And what good would making a site be that YOU run if your just going to listen to everyones whinings (not suggestions, those people are just whining who create petitions like "BRING BAK TEH CHAT BORD" and "OMG NEW LENNI SUXXORZ!)?
