User blog:Aquamarinesandopals/Possible OTM Renovation

Hello! Spades here. I want to thank each and every one of you who has nominated and/or voted in the Nagivation Tab event that is currently going on. I hope I can speak for the other admins when I say that I wasn't expecting such a high turn out, and that I'm glad you're all enthusiastic about the frankly amazing OCs this wikia has on offer.

However, as an admin, the nomination and voting has brought up a problem that I'm keen to tackle: The OTMs. Both events are similar (you nominate OCs and a winner is spotlighted), but we simply fail to see the same amount of interaction for OTMs that we did for the nominations and voting, and we aren't entirely sure why.

We don't plan on getting rid of OTMs (I think highlighting talent on the wikia is very important), but we do want to know why you guys aren't as enthusiastic about it and why you don't vote as much in it.

This isn't intended to read as insulting, angry, or even plain old shady. We're genuinely keen to improve your experience and would really appreciate honest, constructive feed back about how you feel towards OTMs. For example, what did you like about the recent nominations? What don't you like about the OTM process? We had a lot of new people vote in the nominations, so are OTMs intimidating or unapproachable? Are they hard to navigate, or the website hard to use? Do we not give it as much attention? What do you think about the OTM rules? Is there a specific reason you don't vote? We're unsure.

Thank you so much in advance, we really appreciate your help. Please leave feedback in the comments, I promise we won't be offended by anything you say. <3
