Grats HxHD

[dogboy123]

Today I realised how fair and great HxHD compared to other fansites.

The team is willing to help, stick by ONE set of rules and accept anybody to come in. Unlike some other desks.

I'm sure you'll agree that HxHD really has been at a high these couple of weeks with problems being dealt with so quickly and so preffesionaly and everything running smoothly.

May seem like a bit of a biased post

Nono, I agree with this! Today, I went into another "Lounge" (the fansite will not be named) and I got kicked because I was from Habbox. Quite unfair to be honest.

Help is usually fast now, I always see staff in the desk so thats great. Good work to the whole HxHD team!

It's far from perfect. However, other than this week every time I've been in there it's been pretty busy. I do only go on Habbo once or twice a week so I can't really be the judge of that.

Both times I've been on this week there has only been a few people in there. I think that's because people are more occupied with HxSS which is fair enough I suppose. I'd say the most active staff at the moment are HotelUser and yourself Ben. So both of you deserve special praise for being in there as and when you can. :)

aww thanks jake :$

Thanks Jake:P. I sort of wish we had more staff like we used to, though. Then the staff activity wouldn't be so much of an issue. Plus, having more staff is fun:D.

[dogboy123]

I agree david, but i think its a maximum of 12 staff

[Immenseman]

Unfortunately, I could no longer name all the staff. I think that's both a mix of my lack of activity within the desk but also some staff members not pulling their weight. It's always the same few members of staff. Something maybe management need to review and assess to see if any staff changes are required.

Yeah I agree, I think we really do need more staff.

[Immenseman]

Well the full list of staff (excluding management and molly as she's still a trialist, I think) are here:


,Lexiilu
Ambzz.
DarkEnemy
dogoby123
HotelUser
Midlight
omgMatt
PriceTags
SuperNic.

Now being fair I have seen every single one of those in the desk. However, I didn't even know they were all staff. A lot of them just mess about in the room and one of them is actually very rude to members so I would assume they weren't staff. Quite surprised to see their name when I checked staff groups here. (http://www.habboxforum.com/showgroups.php)

I think some shuffling could be done because some of those aren't in the desk all that much and even when they are they hardly conduct themselves in an appropriate manner. I personally feel HxHD needs some staff who have played Habbo for years and know it inside out.

I'm not taking anything away from the staff but that's how I feel. Also, it really should revert back to applications rather than an out-dated recommendation system which I don't think works half as well. You'd get quite a lot of applications and you would only accept 2/3 trialists - which would ensure you get the best people possible for the positions.

Anyway, HxHD is better than it was a few months ago. We'll see if it can keep that up once the summer holidays have run their course and people are going back to school/collge/work :)

Good point, Jake. I don't think it would hurt if staff spent abit more time behind the bar:P.

HxHD is always improving :). The staff we have have been here for months and we're all getting better as we gain more experience. Not only do I think we should open up applications, but I would love to bring back the entire interview process again too. You learn a lot about how someone carries themself in even a short interview.

Having said that, I'm not sure why the restrictions on the number of staff were introduced in the first place, I'd sort of like to know before I say much more.

I agree that this week it's been less active, I for one have been in less due to the HxSS... so the last week isn't really an accurate reflection. It is good to see staff getting involved with the event though!

I do agree with this as it is very hard to get trial.

I admit myself I haven't been in the HxHD helping much since I got back off hoilday because of HxSS but when I do go down I usually see a lot of staff down there.

Today, I went behind the desk with Ben and Richie, so I do think HxHD is very active even with HxSS going on

[Calvin]

yeah, i think applications should be opened again.

[luce]

Yeah i get that all the time in other desks.

And i liked the whole HxHD system from about a year ago much more then the one now. Application > Interview > Trial > Job. And then teams 1-4 with about 4 in and a leader. It worked well i don't know why we changed it??

Applications = yes. I don't think you can give trials for the HxHD accurately on how much time people spend in there. I never went into the HxHD before i applied and i was staff for just over half a year and Super Staff for about 4 months of that time. Unlike mod trials where you can see accurate forum records, post reports etc etc.

I don't spend that much time in but when i do i have seen some staff members being rude and i barley see anyone behind the bar i think people just sit in the room because the can't be bother to get the room pass up to get into staff area.

Supernic. does loads too so weldone to her :)

[Alex3213]

Ever since nvrspk4's HD got changed to Sammeth.'s I think it went extremely down hill. However I think it's perking up again. The activity is really high and normally about 15 people at the minimum in prime times. So well done to them.

Staff activity, again, really high. I can say that HotelUser is probably the most active staff there and is again very helpful. I also think that "afking" in the desk has got a lot better now as well. Help wise, I think has gone down dramatically. I can see many Staff (including Super Staff) who blatently ignore people wanting help or having a good old chat with their mates telling a real interesting story and getting to the person when they're just about to leave - or even worse, they don't even ask them at all. I think this is the main area which needs to be looked at :).

[dogboy123]

I dont see how you can say that.

Help is always dealt with, if some of us arent its because another staff is and 3 people answering questions can be very confusing.

[lick]

I don't really see a need for a helpdesk anymore, sure when a few (very few) people ask for helps its given, buts its really just a Hangout

[dogboy123]

Mwah, there were loads of those threads a while back

basically HxHD is more of a chillout area, but we also offer help hence a smaller desk.

[lick]

But you should just get rid of the desk, make it into a Room where there is no staff area and then still offer help.. its not like you's sit behind the bars anyways :P

[dogboy123]

I try to sit behind there when i can

And people arent going to come asking for help in a lounge. HxHD is one of the only decent help desks standing tbh

obv. bias? what is that. HxHD knows no bias, it has the best staff?

Not to rain on your parade though Ben, preffesionaly? profesionally?;)

[HotelUser]

But you can't say that, because I never see you in HxHD.

On the contrary to what you said, there have actually been quite a lot of users asking for help since Guides and Habbo X's have stopped.

[Alex3213]

I dont see how you can say that.

I agree it has been improved more than it had been but I still think it has gone down considering saying November or such. There Help seemed to be a huge issue, infact I believe Hayley saying something like 85% of your reports go about how much you listen to the questioners (which obviously makes activity important too). Some staff, like you, I think do it pretty well as well a few Normal Staff and of course a lot of the Super Staff. It still has room for improvement though. :)

Yeah, I also say that it should be only one person answering questions at a time. But what happens if theres 2 people needing help? That happens pretty often but it seems to be the same person who is actually helping both the people, my special praise there is to Amber. Again, there's a lot of room for improvement, not a criticism, just what I've seen over HxSS.

Yeah I agree that HxHD needs to be improved. I was just saying that some people never realise the difference between HxHD and the staff to other lounges. And how some people complain how the staff are harsh etc. when if rules were'nt enforced it'd be like this other loungs.
Thats all this thread was about

Yeah I dunno how we drifted this topic :P

I know that a lot of lounges don't have the high levels of HxHD and it should be praised as overall, through all the lounges I've seen, HxHD is the best one, hence why I always go in it

[lick]

But you can't say that, because I never see you in HxHD.

I have been there about 4 days this week, once i came in and you were afk and Immenseman was there on another account talking to people.. so i think i can say that

If you're in so much, though, then I don't understand how you're not seeing users asking for help. Because there are users still coming in for help:D.

[lick]

well i have not seen any :)
