Yep. Angry people come and post. Sometimes, happy people come and post (at about the same rate that the "endorse" mods, so you know how low that is). People who are indifferent to the changes do nothing. That's why polling has to be random.

You don't need to post the same thing in every thread you see.

It's not gone. There's something wrong with your page specifically.

Your page must be seriously broken. Can you provide screenshots?

And what does that have to do with whether or not they liked/disliked the new UI? Are you simply dismissing the opinion of anyone who doesn't meet your standard of "web security awareness"? And, if so, why are you then claiming that the people who answered the poll must have also been giving negative feedback and the Nexus staff are lying about it? Regardless of your opinion of the poll site, Nexus Mods collected the number of responses they wanted and they say that the majority of those responses were positive. Either accept that or call them liars to their faces.

They said that the hotjar polls maxed out the number of responses. So clearly people were seeing it. So unless you're going to claim a correlation between "people who hate the new site" and "people who have adblockers that prevented them from seeing the hotjar poll" then there is no reason to believe the hotjar polls were skewed in any way.

You're hurting the economy terribly by banning them, though. According to their posts, every time the mods wouldn't work they went out and bought a new computer.

It's there for me. What browser are you using? Did you try force refreshing the page? Any extensions installed?

Selection bias is a thing. That people are more likely to complain than compliment is a thing. You can't just ignore that in order to push your narrative. Basically, people are accusing the staff of lying about their data based solely on the fact that a lot of angry people have posted on the forums, discord or reddit. I have observed here long enough to realize that a lot of angry people will post on the forums, on discord and on reddit for a lot of reasons. It's weird because I cannot, for the life of me, imagine a scenario where the staff of a company like this would lie about the feedback and hurt their own company by doing so. The only scenario that makes sense to me is that they are actually following the data they collected and will make changes that work within that data. Just like they did eight years ago.

That's already planned to be changed. The default search type will be selectable in your site settings. But, really, for people so focused on UI is it that hard to find the proper thread in the "site updates" forum? There's so many of these randomly started threads they're never going to be able to collate all the feedback.

Here's a tangible statistic. A few hundred people are complaining in this thread. Out of more than 100,000 daily visitors. Most people haven't given either positive or negative feedback.

Yeah, but the one the person you responded to was complaining about is the same one that everyone says is so great now. You're not helping your case.

Read the first post in the thread.

We invented it. We have to take responsibility for it.

Once again, this wasn't a "make work" project. The people who worked on this were literally hired for the express purpose of creating this update. Robin wanted the site updated, Robin hired people to update the site, those people did the job according to Robin's requirements and with his approval. This was a long-term project, not some scam that nefarious people pulled on Robin.
