What you think of the .com semi hobbas?

[Jin]

I was sitting in the help desk helping where at the back row there was a conversation going on about the .com young hobbas and it got me thinking, why do .com habbos get to apply for becoming a watered down version of a hobba at the age of 13? Are they more mature then us? Are they just testing the system out before introducing it to the rest of the hotels? Will .com eventually turn every one in to this semi-hobba (by the sounds of things it seems this way)?

Personally i reckon they are testing this new system out before they introduce it to .co.uk the benefits of introducing it to .com is that the hotel has less users and it was a key point in the advertising of the new hotel. Hopefully it should eventually come to .co.uk and with possibly a better criteria so that only a few thousand habbos could actually apply rather then the 50,000 there are

Hmm toughy but i get ur idea it porbably is because they have less users.

[SoraSafe]

It's like that due to legal reasons.

[Adzeh]

i hope they do introduce it to .co.uk


on the other hand i think the amount of hobbas in .com is beyond a joke.

[SoraSafe]

Yep there is too many hobbas on .com, and the system won't be introduced to .co.uk because of moderation laws.

In the newsie, they joked it was the HOBBA hotel. :D

Anyways, I think it's a pretty good idea. I doubt they think U.S is more mature, but it has so many fewer members. It's a good testing idea.

I like that you only have to be 13, but I think they hired way too many. Every single room, you can find more then one hobba in it!

Good idea but Habbo have handled it very well. They need to become more strict as to who they take not just taking every 2nd person who applies. I am sure this is due to the rush of appliactions. People would have become impatient if they actually looked through all applications thorougly.

I think we should adopt this system, keep our ordinarry system too. But, introduce this too many rule breakers and not enough hobbas :(

This is a good idea in some ways. It would help to keep the number of rule breakers down, as semi-Hobbas could attend calls from people saying they had been scammed, while the full Hobbas tracked down the rule breakers themselves.
However, it would take a lot of time and effort to weed out the large number of immature semi-Hobbas every time they introduced a new batch, and also the huge number of applications to be a semi-Hobba would take a lot of time to go through.
It really is a good idea, and it could potentially improve the response rate to calls for help dramatically, but these problems need to be solved before Habbo UK could bring it in.

I liked the sound of it at first, I know a few UK-ers who went over there to become baby hobbas. They said the number of silvers was huge, but now it's died down.

I don't think it should be introduced to UK, it wasn't well planned out. co.uk has thousands more users than .com, so how many more hobbas is that? Too many!

I think users 15 and over should be allowed to become silvers, like on .com, but they have to apply and be selected, or be reccomended (although no one should know your age, 'cause everyone keeps their personal details personal, right? ;)). This way the best (or the most popular) of the youngest will become silver hobbas, making more hobbas, making habbo safer.

Any problems with my theory anyone?

Hobba applications are supposed to be fair to everyone no matter how well known you are. If they did it on recommendation system then it would no longer be fair. Really I think that what is needed is a huge recruitment drive within the current 18+ age group at sixth forms and colleges to try and attract 18 year olds, or people who will soon turn 18 to get to know Habbo and maybe become Hobbas. Another possible recruitment drive would be to send out an e-mail to the parents of all Habbos (hopefully some Habbos might forward it on to their parents ;)) asking them if they would like to become Hobbas.
However, if you move the applications out of the current age group, then the number of applications becomes too high, and more importantly, the number of applications from people who will abuse their powers becomes higher in proportion to the total number of applications.

Personally i thought the 13+ hobbas was probably the worst idea in the history of habbo. A bunch of habbos lying about their age? If i was manager i would scrap it ASAP!

[Escalabar]

No, I don't think that it will be introduced to the UK because the Hobba age used to 16 and then was raised to 18 right? Well I hardly think that they are going to raise the age and then drop it again to lower then it was before.
Sorasafe is right, there are different moderation laws over here then there are in the USA.

I am a .Com Hobba
And I think that i am a good Hobba,
I have been recommended by Mod-Quacque and he says i am great,
So i hope i might become a Gold :)

The Hobba system for .com was a good idea, especially for Sulake. The amount of people using .com has increased since everyone found out they could be a Hobba, and everyone who wanted to be a Hobba had to have bought furni - Which meant Sulake made lots of money. The only bad thing is the Hobbas abusing their powers, one of them was alerting people to goto a scamsite.. :o Most of them hobbas are gone now, and the Hotel is safe :)

Habbo couldn't introduce it to UK because of the laws, but I think it would be a good idea if Habbo introduced some new kind of "Guides" where selected Habbos could use :softkick in any room - EG when someone is blocking a door you have to call a Hobba, which wastes their time when they could be helping scammed Habbos, if more Habbos had the power to kick there wouldnt be any need for Hobbas to come, but most people would probably abuse the power so it might not be a good idea after all :( Whats your thoughts??

[Moose]

as posted above, we are NOT hobbas just hotel guides, with limited rights.

I Think That the 13 and over thing is good :eusa_ange because some of those semi-hobbas can now show that they're not immature just because they're 13 or w/e.
Although i think they hired a bit too many hobbas on .com :eusa_eh:

[Luayminator]

i think they are testing

[jesus]

Very stupid idea i you ask me.
