Habbox Awards

[Tintinnabulate]

Oh why :( It was refused for the last 6 years for a good reason :(
Oh well.

[Jamesy]

I believe there was a poll months ago with a resounding "yes" for an answer :). And I expect management have thought it through carefully.

[Hecktix]

There's no harm in trying it :) I think it suits the age of Habbo today and I think it'll be very beneficial for Habbox.

[immense]

Good change imo, no real negatives or reasons not to have one. I like.

[lorren]

i need the member of month one :O

[Tintinnabulate]

For being one of Habbox Forum's members of the month since June 2010

Considering we are having it, no point being negative, better to post suggestions.
Right, I think its better to give old MOTM the award too, its fair.

Shouldnt do awards for posts and donor etc.
Should only do awards for big comps and stuff, or it will end up with too many awards like Habbo and become useless.

[buttons]

thank god they're quite small icons, they look ugly big which is why i was against them
gutted though wanted my motm from last year ;l

[hah]

yes i love it
remember it being in that thread ages ago
requested loads alrdy
be nice to have them on profiles

well done matt and oli and whoever

Quite surprised you like them Graham. :P

[FlyingJesus]

Are there any plans to add some awards for things that can't already be seen on a profile anyway?

[hah]

think there should be one for me being great lol :l

[Stephen]

can i still get a been active on the forum for ___ years award when I have banned accounts or does it only count for the account youre on?

[Hecktix]

All the "starting" awards were chosen by members in a feedback thread, we have altered them accordingly to our needs but mainly we've used a list from the feedback thread :)

[Jordy]

Been implemented well, I rather like this. I can't see why anyone would have any major issues with it.

Thought there could be a bit more originality with the awards though but I assume there's more to come. Just an idea, one for ex-staff members from June 2010 onwards perhaps?

There will be new and other awards coming in the upcoming future. We just wanted a bunch of them for the time being and see how we can go from there. :)

As we have the Dedication Award we will be adding an award (probably) for Ex-Management.

[Stephen]

ill take my question as a no then

[immense]

got ma badges already woo

[xxMATTGxx]

It has to the the account you are now active on.

[Phil]

Like the idea alot, well done to everyone involved =D

[buttons]

so is the sunday update one starting just from now, same as motm?

[immense]

got 4 already ;l

*i obv follow them on twitter and didnt lie when requesting badge*

[xxMATTGxx]

so is the sunday update one starting just from now, same as motm?

Awards such as MOTM etc start from today.

[kk.]

I want my member of the month one :'( I'll never get that again :(

[Hecktix]

so is the sunday update one starting just from now, same as motm?

All awards for individual things start now, or we'd have to backtrack forever, we'd get I WON MEMEBER OF THE MONTH IN JULY 2005! etc (i know it didnt exist but its an example)

[hah]

biggest willy award (ill win)
shud have one for staff

what if they prove it with the thread? not that hard :S i want both of mine ;l

[kk.]

what if they prove it with the thread? not that hard :S i want both of mine ;l

I agree, if you want it, and can prove it, I don't see why we can find the link and post that as the reason why?

[immense]

just easier for it to be given out as and when it happens rather than people popping up with "i won a comp in 2005"

starting from now = betta

[xxMATTGxx]

It's better to start the individual awards from when the awards system was installed, it will be easier to manage that way.

[W00TZEH]

what's the point, no-ones going to go on profiles to see their awards.

And for the 5-6year awards, can banned accounts be included

[kk.]

But as I said, it's not really that different if you prove it in the area that you write why, I mean it lists them, and allyou have to do is click, look, accept. And it's only done if the user requests it..

[xxMATTGxx]

what's the point, no-ones going to go on profiles to see their awards.

Well we always knew we would get people who didn't like them. But it's something most people will like and enjoy.


And for the 5-6year awards, can banned accounts be included

That is a no.

[W00TZEH]

yawnnnnnn, I've been active on the forum for 6years tho!!

[xxMATTGxx]

yawnnnnnn, I've been active on the forum for 6years tho!!

So have many people but if you didn't get yourself banned, then you would easily get the award. :)

There is a lot but, I still think it should be able to be requested, am the Sunday updates. If you provide the link, it's not much effort

[Hecktix]

If we give it out to all the members of the month from the past, we'd have to give it out to the event winners, competition winners and every other competition Habbox has ever held.

Right now, I have nearly 100 requests as it is, tomorrow I imagine they'll fly in when people come online :P :(

[kk.]

There is other people who contributed towards this system. Oli/Roxy/Myself/Jamesy/Graphics Department and whoever else!

I picked oli because as my reason why, I said hope you're having fun whoevers doin these, and when he gave the award he replied 'and no josh, I'm not, there are loads' :P

Thanks for the laugh you gave me XD and for the four awards :)

[Hecktix]

Matt's turn to give out rewards right now, obviously it'll be less of a stressfull job when the whole forum aren't requesting their awards however we'll all be clubbing together for now :P

[N!ck]

Surely I get an award for winning the first ever MOTM :(. And for being awesome of course.

[Black_Apalachi]

Seems like a nice idea, kind of exciting and probably the best way for Habbox to implement it. :) Although whoever said people aren't gonna look at people's profiles just to see their awards, they are right really. Wouldn't it be better to display them in their own widget on the left of profiles along with Groups and Recent Visitors - or at least display a few and then have a link to the main page where the rest of them are?

That's just lead me onto another idea - allow the left-hand panel to be customised (in terms of what widgets are displayed and in what order etc) but I'll save that for a different thread on a different day :P

[Kyle]

I quite like them but agree with rob that nobody is going to bother looking at them unless they're right there and not in like, a separate tab.

Award for people with their art in elite section plz

[Black_Apalachi]

By the way do they have an automatic list order or will they just be in the order they are applied for/approved?

THIS THIS THIS :8

[FlyingJesus]

I agree with that suggestion provided my collection of amazing sig images is added to elites :P let's be honest they are the best (not counting this one as it's a completely different style even if it does look really good)

[Calvin]

About time this was introduced, nice one. :) Anyway, on the request form on the non-habbo light skin the form background is black, shouldn't it match the colour of the skin? And for the Twitter award, can you put something like 'For following Habbox on Twitter (http://twitter.com/habbox)' with a link to the habbox twitter as people may not know the link.

[Kyle]

can you put something like 'For following Habbox on Twitter (http://twitter.com/habbox)' with a link to the habbox twitter as people may not know the link.

yes. i requested the award (and got it) even though i don't follow it. gonna follow it now tho... is there not any way that you can check that people actually follow? Ask them to provide THEIR twitter so you can check, perhaps?

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah there shouldn't be any which qualification can't be proven for. I've never been on Twitter in my life so I could just apply for that but I didn't because I wouldn't be able to sleep at night


I agree with that suggestion provided my collection of amazing sig images is added to elites :P let's be honest they are the best (not counting this one as it's a completely different style even if it does look really good)

It is not allowed to be asked to move to elites -rep

[xxMATTGxx]

I nearly fell asleep on my desk. But just to announce that whoevers requested before this post has been completed.

[FlyingJesus]

It is not allowed to be asked to move to elites -rep

tbh other people were saying it in my thread with them not me ;| and as if a PETTY -6 rep would matter I'll squash it with my little toe muahahaha bored

[Black_Apalachi]

Haha lol I bet I could make your sig in like a minute ;l

[FlyingJesus]

This one yeah because it's just some artsy 60s style space nonsense to match my greyscale avatar, which is why I said in the post before (read noob!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111LOL!!! hi) that I wasn't including it. Silly Billy with a tiny willy.

[Black_Apalachi]

Yes I know you said that I was just... I... I..... STOP PERVING ON ME :'(


epic lag there nice one forum cheers

[Black_Apalachi]

Here we go boyz

[Kyle]

the graphics staff will have to remove the letters and crap from it coz they make no sense but i think that one could work :D

I'm not even in the elite section CRY somebody move some of my stuff there okay xxx

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah I realised that after posting, should have done it myself lol. Doubt they'll use that anyway - I think they only use sparkles on the main ones (like post count) and they all seem to have a round sort of background. Glad to know I'm the only real elitist round here then :8

[HotelUser]

I really want to say to whoever's responsible for designing the badges that you did an absolutely superb job, they look incredibly lovely.

Must admit, nice idea and it's been done very well. The graphics are very good but I agree it's a shame they won't be seen unless you go digging around someones profile. Then again, I wouldn't really want them cluttering up the post-bit..
Thanks guys :)

[Mr-Trainor]

I like the idea of the awards system. I also agree with an award for people who get their graphics moved to the edlite graphics section and maybe an award for reputation :P

[Inseriousity.]

Competitions badge will only go for the bigger competitions such as the quests and the overall winners of Habbox World Cup etc! :)

Anyway, good idea, didn't really bother me either way tbh. Well done gfx dept, they don't get enough praise :D

[Black_Apalachi]

Nice one Jamesy :D

[Hecktix]

I don't think we should be adding anything else to the already cluttered main profile page - arguing that people won't look at them because they are on a tab is pretty void really - that would mean the "About Me" section is also overlooked - when I am aware a lot of people have looked at mine as I've been asked questions regarding it.

Also, awards are very much a personal achievement thing - but unless something (like permissions groups) is removed from the main profile page - we won't be adding anything for awards because it's just simply too cluttered.

[Jamesy]

Nice one Jamesy :D

Tried it a little on the test forums, the sidebar was getting too large so I don't think it would be wise to put it on here when people have lots of groups too, Sorry.

[dogboy123]

As forum manager it's natural that people are going to check the 'About Me' section of your profile, and pretty much every other one for that matter.

[Hecktix]

They don't.


As forum manager it's natural that people are going to check the 'About Me' section of your profile, and pretty much every other one for that matter.

As I said above, awards are more about personal achievement than showing it off - if someone wants to know how many awards someone has then it's not hard to check. Any "widget" wouldnt be able to show many awards anyway and as I have said it is way too cluttered already so unless "Permissions Groups" is placed on a tab (as well as the main awards - which I have no issue with) then we can have an awards preview on the main page of a profile.

[Molly.22]

I love this idea. Hopefully there will be more awards soon. :)

[Alkaz]

I really want to say to whoever's responsible for designing the badges that you did an absolutely superb job, they look incredibly lovely.
Thank you David and everyone else who has said. They were entirely down to the graphics department and myself and forum management are extremely happy with them. Oli couldn't find fault with them so they must be good!

You can say that again. I just want to thank everyone who took their time in creating the awards, I'm quite pleased with them also. :)

[Nixt]

It is definitely a good addition to the forum and is an excellent way to recognise and reward our members. Kudos to the graphics department for creating the excellent awards when they are very difficult to create! We will obviously be developing more awards according to what suits the Forum and the community departments. I am glad it was implemented!

[Neversoft]

The Member of the Month Award is a bit unfair, isn't it? Why can only winners from June onwards receive the award? :@ I won Memer of the Month in January and demand fairness! Oh well, my five year milestone is in six days. At least I can get an award of some form to display my brilliance.

We had mentioned this earlier in the thread :P Basically if we give every member of the month who achieved it before this date the award, we then would have to give all events winners etc the award - it would be a crazy time and it's not logistically possible

[AgnesIO]

Ok idea I guess, personally not a huge fan of this whole awards thing, but it can't do any harm - and if other members like it I guess it is a must.

[jackass]

Considering we are having it, no point being negative, better to post suggestions.
Right, I think its better to give old MOTM the award too, its fair.

Agreed. I've won MOTM twice now, and I don't get an award for it :(! UNFAIR.

They don't.

An idea towards this by the way. It's what I mentioned in the original awards thread ages ago. There should be just a one line thing in the userbit (underneath posts/gender etc.) just saying something like 'Awards: 3', and the number could be a link to the awards page on your profile. :)

About Me is completely different! You go there to find out about people individually. Everyone's gonna have pretty much the same awards (until there's absolutely loads available) and I've already noticed people NOT APPLYING for awards they are entitled to so I'm guessing people in general won't go out of their way to look at each other's :P


Tried it a little on the test forums, the sidebar was getting too large so I don't think it would be wise to put it on here when people have lots of groups too, Sorry.

Thanks for trying anyway x


T... unless "Permissions Groups" is placed on a tab (as well as the main awards - which I have no issue with) then we can have an awards preview on the main page of a profile.

Do this! Groups are stupid anyway and with all the space that will be freed up you will be able to display a good dozen or so on the main profile page :)


Biohazard might be onto something with an extra post-bit field to just display the number

[kk.]

I still think you should be able to request MOTM, Sunday stuff, and events as long as you provide the link :) I don't see how it's any different? You only do it if the user requests it.

I agree, that would make them far more integrated into the forum.

Can't say I have much of an opinion on the whole award system but it's been well implemented and well done to the graphics team because they do look really nice :)

oh and does "active" mean amount of time you've had the account, or the amount of time you've been posting on it? Cause I've only been posting for like the last year and a half out of 4.

[lTraditional]

oh loool.

I would think 'active' would mean the posts you have made since you joined. It wouldnt be fair to say the oldest member on habbox get the award as members who joined this month should also have a chance. I am with it anyways.

[AgnesIO]

as long as its not on posts i dont care

There are awards for posts.

Unless you mean SHOWN on peoples posts?

[GommeInc]

It's a shame you can't have tabs or something in the post-bit section on the left, which shows Join Date all the way to Rep Power by default, and when you click awards it changes to what awards you have. That would be a job for vBulletin, or someone with good skills :P

[Richie]

I think I may be blind cos I can't see em, ahh well thats a good thing :P

[Calvin]

I've said it in this thread and in the bug tracker but everyone seems to ignore it lol, make the request form bit on the non-habbo light a white background with black text because it looks odd with a black background.

And for the Twitter award, put the link such as 'For following Habbox on Twitter (http://twitter.com/habbox)' or something so people know the link.

Oh and on the Classic Skin, it's like this:

Should be all done now :)

[GommeInc]

Do we have to ask for each Post Award (1,000 to 20,000) or is it done on a "reach 20,000, replace the 15,000" basis? Same applies with the years registered, do we have them all or just the one most relevant and up to date?

[jackass]

How about an award for the winner of my annual Habbox Awards? ;)

You can have all of them. So if you have 10,000 posts you can have all the ones below that as well, same with the year milestone awards.

[kk.]

I still think you should be able to request MOTM, Sunday stuff, and events as long as you provide the link :) I don't see how it's any different? You only do it if the user requests it.

Word on this. It's no extra than checking how many posts someone has, or if they're from uk, or there time on the forum

[Lost_Addict]

It would be nice, because i have ha a MOTM for entertainment but once it runs out theres nothing thee to remember them. I'm sue it's the same for others. It would be nice to have an icon or somthing to show for it XD

It's a no for previous MOTM, for the reasons stated by both myself and MattGarner last night, it simply won't be happening.

Ok, ill accept that reason, only if you can explain what thE difference is between proving you have won MOTM and proving you have 5000 posts, or following u on Twitter.

[Hecktix]

The difference is by following us on twitter, or getting 5000 posts you arent winning an individual competition. The prizes for the competition (MOTM in your case) did not include a badge - they will from this day forward.

If we were to give you the badge, we'd have to give every other member of the month ever the badge, and then it'd be the same for events, competitions and everything else - pretty soon the badges would be all over the place and be meaningless, this would be happening too soon since the system has only just been introduced.

For instance for the rest of this year there will only be 6 MOTM badges given out, this makes it rare and more desirable.

It's not a hard thing to do for the Forum Related awards at all, if you have two ACP windows open, one with the User Manager and one with the Awards Request as it takes two seconds to search someone on User Manager to see if their request is valid, so overall it doesn't take too long as long as we keep on top of them.

Last night when we introduced them it felt like it was never going to end!

I don't quite understand the first bit lol. I don't see the difference between now and back then, other than a badge?

And does that mean you're not doing it for each section now? And as I said before, you'd only give it
out to the people who requested it. You could just open it up for one day and say that is the only day previous winners can claim and then at least you can refer back to that. I'm never going to win it again because to be quite honest, I can be bothered to put in the effort again. I don't see why people having the badges (in this case 'all over the place') is a bad thing, the system is there to be used, and to use it you give out badges. And it's not like if you did use my above idea, everyone would claim it. Not every membeb visits daily, or weekly, whichever you choose, and not everyone will bother claiming, and i bet half of them don't even visit the forum anymore.

It's a new initiative so it should start from scratch, the point is what's the attractiveness in a badge as a prize if the 30 users who have been previous winners already have it.

The member of the month badge looks pretty good in my opinion and it could make some of our newer members push harder, wanting to be the first person to achieve the badge. I'm not going to compensate you just because you "can't be bothered to put the effort in again" - that's your problem really and we shouldn't compensate you based upon those grounds.

New initiative huh. Well, why not start the posts from scratch again? That'd make the forum more active. Or start counting the join date from today? Although you mentioned it in the above post about it being more of a competition, it actually has no real difference..

Funny that. Making the newer members push harder. Kinda makes me think that people really don't care about current members. And not only that, it's the current members who have already won it, not the new ones. I'm not asking you to compensate just me. Tbqh, I'm not all too fussed about the badge system, it's the fact that you haven't given us the chance to even request it. It's quite clear that past winner want it, at least 4 have said it in this thread. And no, I can't be bothered, why should I put in effort now? If you don't care about the members who've been here a ling time and hve made the forum active, what's the point?

And just so

[jackass]

Thanks Oli! :)

And yeah, I see what you mean about the MOTM award. Although it's quite annoying that i've won twice, and I don't get it, I see where you're coming from! Looks like i'll just have to try my hardest to get it again. (h)

[kk.]

Yeh but it's like they're not even listening. There is no difference between proving you won something, or them searching your name on the modcp. In fact, it's proably quicker.

[Nixt]

In fairness I personally agree that we should be able to apply awards retrospectively if members are willing to supply evidence in their request that proves they are eligible for the award in question. I don't think giving them out in such a way is going to particularly put newer members off "trying harder" because they either want the badge or they do not. When I posted about this system before it was publicly announced, I said it was also a way of rewarding our older members as well as the new members we are getting. It doesn't create a massive amount of work and I personally feel we should be recognising our long term, dedicated members who have contributed something to Habbox (by becoming MOTM or having an idea implemented) just as much as we should be extending an inviting arm to new members who have recently signed up.

Of course if my opinion does not reflect that of overall management then it probably will not happen. But from my personal point of view I do not see why it should not, given that it won't require any effort at all (apart from a click of the mouse) to verify it if the member includes the thread in their awards request.

[Black_Apalachi]

OK then, let's say they allow us to backtrack MOTM and Sunday Updates - then when they introduce other awards in the future people will again ask if they can be backtracked too. It will never end and it will be stupid, more importantly it will be pretty much impossible for two or three people (Matt, Oli and Garion?) to handle.

I can see the point of stopping things like events, that would be massively difficult to manage, but MoTM and Sunday Updates are relatively easy to deal with I would say. When we discussed the Awards system being implemented part of my reasoning for wanting it was not only the appeal it has for new users, but the fact we could use it to reward older members who have dedicated time to the forum in terms of winning things like member of the month and having their ideas used. It really wouldn't be difficult to apply these two awards retrospectively.

Completely agree with this. I could see where Oli was coming from, but there's no reason to why this can't be separate from the events etc., especially as MOTM & Sunday Updates are directly forum-related. So yeah, it would be nice to get these awards from previous 'winnings'. :)

[GommeInc]

Sunday Updates and MoTM are different to winning competitions and/or events too, seeing as they prove you're a contributor, while an event or competition doesn't necessarily shape the way Habbox works or show that you have Habbox's best interests at mind.

[Nixt]

Precisely. They show a dedication to Habbox that I think deserves to be recognised. This system should not be biased towards newer members and we should be appropriately utilising it to benefit all. Our more established members are equally important and as I repeatedly stress, they should not be forgotten or ignored.

[Kyle]

and whats the problem with that? You do realise that there will be an overwhelming amount of awards to give out in the first days/weeks. Then there will be like, 5 a day or something. probably not even that. i fail to see why its a problem lol

and as garion said, which i hadnt even thought about, some awards like events come a lot more often, and they dont actually mean youve contributed to the forum

[FlyingJesus]

I'm assuming you'd only get 1 MOTM award right? I don't think I've won LOADS but more than 1 I imagine but it'd look crap having the same award more than once on the page.

[Nixt]

Oh yeah you'd only get it once lol.

[Catzsy]

I'm assuming you'd only get 1 MOTM award right? I don't think I've won LOADS but more than 1 I imagine but it'd look crap having the same award more than once on the page.

I totally agree - I have only asked for the 4year one etc as all the awards on a page would look cluttered.

[Kyle]

so are previous MotM being allowed to request the award or not? :)

[Nixt]

I will discuss it with Oli when he comes online. I believe it should be for the reasons cited in this thread and I believe a lot of people agree. I don't want to go taking a decision without discussing it with him first though :).

[xxMATTGxx]

As long as we don't have to issue an award to everyone who has won an event in the past which would be quite tricky to always confirm. Then I don't have an huge issue in giving the Motm award and whatnot to the people have won it in the past.

[Hecktix]

In my opinion, the award we should be using for older members is the "Dedication" award and of course retrospect is a huge factor in deciding who gets that, as obviously that one would be silly to start with from scratch or we wouldn't have introduced it now, we'd have introduced it next year.

Proving you've won MOTM is no different to proving you've won any competition or event.

Even though it's shown some sort of dedication towards Habbox? A dedication award would be extra work, as it would have to take into seperate factors and would be some what biased :/

If we started giving out 2 months of VIP for Member of the Month rather than 1, we wouldn't go back and give all the former Members of the Month an extra month of VIP. The award is a prize - hence the name award.

Our General Management would not be biased in issuing dedication awards, I am pretty confident in that.

[kk.]

i agree a dedication award would be biased. who nominates? the managers? the users? what if omeone shows dedication, but the person who nominates dislikes the person? in fact, thats the same for MOTM too.

Proving you've won MOTM is no different to proving you've won any competition or event.

The dedication award is to be used as a way to recognise those who have shown significant dedication to Habbox in more than just posting. That really is, or at least should be, an award that should be used in cases of distinction only because otherwise it defeats the object of having that award as a separate award to the join date and posting awards.

Member of the Month is a competition, yes, however it is considerably different to another competition because it is about contribution to the forum. The same applies to the Sunday Updates award. It's totally different to events and competitions and I highly doubt those that have won competitions in the past are overly concerned about receiving those awards because MoTM is a lot harder to earn (no offence to events or competitions). I can see what you mean in terms of starting it from now but MOTM is an inherently different competition and I feel giving this award out retrospectively would be a good way of recognising the members who put a lot of effort into posting about the forum in a new and different way.

[GommeInc]

Ah but that has a time limit, you're a member of the month of a particular month for ever and ever :P

Besides, the dedication award would include years joined and post count, surely?

from my other post ^

[Hecktix]

I see the point being raised, however as you (and others) have said - my point is also valid.

It was discussed heavily between me and Matt and we came to the decision with reason.

@ Gomme, it depends in what way you've shown dedication really. I'm not sure how General Management will be running it but I think they should probably do some nominations for it in the Managers forum or something soon - no point in having it if it doesn't get used.

[Nixt]

It doesn't really explain anything though. Matt has already said in this thread he doesn't have a problem with the MOTM award being issued and it makes perfect sense to me that we give recognition to the members who have given something to the forum in the past.

[Inseriousity.]

I'm comps manager and I agree with Gomme - although if anyone's actually interested, it'd be easy for me to work out who's won a competition in the past... well from september 2009 anyway :P. However, as gomme said, it's not really a contribution towards the forum (although please keep entering ;)). They're two completely different things under the same umbrella when refered to as a 'competition'.

the only reason you guys are against it is because it's time consuming, the positives outweigh the negatives. just look at all the replies, past winners want the awards & so everyones happy. sure you get vip for M.O.T.M but you don't get anything for Sunday Updates :S (before this was introduced obviously) it looks as though the older members care about this more than newer members & they've contributed more. i really don't see the problem other than sheer lazyness (yeah oli you have exams but i rarely see mattgarner offline - not a dig but yknow..)

[The Professor]

Thread is too long so sorry if its been mentioned before: I like the idea of Hx getting into the new achievements style stuff (welcome to the future!) but its going to end up like all the other awesome features (groups, blogs etc) that we implemented: relegated to a link on the navigation at the top and largely ignored. How is this going to be pushed to make it relevant and to make people take notice of it once the novelty of it being new has worn off?

I've just thought, the MOTM Award is labelled with;


Issue time: Yesterday 11:59 PM
Issue reason: Member of the Month: May 2009: Feedback

So if it's gonna show the category then surely it makes sense to try and collect them in different categories - so it should be possible to get more than one (as long as it's a different category, perhaps?).

Thread is too long so sorry if its been mentioned before: I like the idea of Hx getting into the new achievements style stuff (welcome to the future!) but its going to end up like all the other awesome features (groups, blogs etc) that we implemented: relegated to a link on the navigation at the top and largely ignored. How is this going to be pushed to make it relevant and to make people take notice of it once the novelty of it being new has worn off?

As long as we issue the awards properly and keep the system maintained, I think this will be different to other systems. Mainly as most awards aren't requestable and will be issued upon winning by myself and Roxy. People will always want new badges - just like they want new badges on Habbo.

It's down to my management in maintaining the system, something which I intend to have a particular focus on and will be working with Roxy to ensure the potential of the awards system is maximised sufficiently.

So is it happening? I'm confused lol

Sounds good (as long as it's stuck to), personally I'm worried that having them tucked away in a tab on the profile will make them pretty irrelavent. You compare the system to Habbo's but on Habbo the badges are displayed next to your avatar so they're always on display. Maybe we could have something similar to what the escapist has where the latest 5 badges are displayed (quite small) on the postbit? Summit like that, having them hidden away seems a waste imo

[Hecktix]

When we had a feeedback discussion one thing that was frowned upon by most users was the idea of having it on the post bit, I do admit it wouldn't look too tidy. I think awards are more of a personal thing, you get them for yourself and most people won't care what awards others have, as long as they get the ones they want.

[Kardan]

Can I request MOTM for October 2009ish? Might be September 2009.

[Hecktix]

Kardan, if you can find the thread that announced it - send me a PM, but you'll need to provide the thread.

[FlyingJesus]

For anyone having trouble finding the older threads, check your PMs for the congratulatory message and follow the link in it. The actual winners used to get written in a quote in the thread so it won't show up on a general search for your name in announcements.

What were the feelings towards the idea of having a post-bit field which just said; Awards: 5, for example?

Not really necessary and wouldn't be true reflection of how good people are anyway - I only have 3 but they're for big things (and I have a great issue reason on one) because I didn't want all the lower ones before them, so someone with like 5k posts in 2 years could have more than me if they wanted

As I said earlier in this thread it was one of my original possibilities and biohazard (I think it was?) added the cherry to the top suggesting it should link to awards.

It is on my list of things to do and will probably be in the next lot of sunday updates I do which may have to be a week on Sunday as I must get back to my revision and I am still waiting on a finalised plan for a new idea which I'd like to launch. So yes, it will probably be happening it's just taking me a bit longer to get round to sorting everything out :)

I found mine, or do you mean from Dec 2009 onwards? :P I won it 3 times I think :D

[FlyingJesus]

idk I didn't look through them all lol I only wanted to find my one

[GommeInc]

You should get an award for your old signatures, or at least for the one that had to be censored ;P

[FlyingJesus]

I said that earlier in the thread -rep but yeah I might update my ancient thread of sig pics if there's more than 1 missing from it then people can vote it into elites hint hint

Yeah but that's just their own fault for being too stuck up to claim all the awards they're entitled to. YAH I'M TALKIN' TO YOU :P

Why would I want noob awards I ain't northern

[Black_Apalachi]

To make your number bigger when Oli implements it and he is implementing it so there!

[Kyle]

I don't really understand why people have requested each level of badge. You've got the one year, then two year, then three year - What's the point? Every time you get a higher award it should replace the old one otherwise it just looks stupid and people end up with loads...

[Black_Apalachi]

It would probably make sense for a new member starting off now, but as we're already up there it seems silly to get the lower ones as well. It would make sense for the later ones to replace the older ones but while they're all available I'm still gonna get them :P

[Recursion]

hey I got every badge I could get for the hell of it! :P

[AgnesIO]

Didn't you -rep me for giving an opinion like that lol

---

I think it is a good idea that each level replaces the last one, but only if there are more reasons to get bades, otherwise older members could want more badges to show what they have done, yet it would look like they have done no more than a newer member.

I am not saying I think that, since not sure I really want awards, just flipping the other side of the coin though!

[Kyle]

yeah anyway, make new badges replace old in the same category, i.e. once you get 2,500 posts it replaced 1,000... etc.

[Special]

yeah i agree - badges should replace each other when you reach them

[Special]

& why do we have to ' explain why the listed recipient should receive the award' ?

how can you possibly explain why you should receive the 'originated from __ hotel'

i think they should be given automatically, so when reach x number of posts, you get that award withought requesting for it etc


Edited by Catzsy (Forum Super Moderator): Thread merged with main Habbox Awards thread.

[Hecktix]

It could not be done automatically without further hacks which we simply are not willing to install.

If a member wants an award, they request it - and yes you do have to prove you came from Habbo UK - all you have to do is provide your account name.

It takes two seconds to request an award, I don't see the need for this.

It's k we don't want them to be automatic, what about new replacing old though - is that possible?

Nope.

Stop being so lazy Oli you should clearly be checking all 45k members daily to see if they've achieved new levels that might require awards. 4god.

[Hecktix]

Lolol tom.

I think I'm happy to offer members the permanent choice, if they want the former awards to stay as they get new ones for the same principle (1yr 2yr) then it's their profile and they can have it.

If you don't want it to do that, simply state it in your request that you'd like the new level to replace the old one and we'll ensure it's done.

[Black_Apalachi]

That will look dumb for newer members though and it's just more work for yous!!!

[Hecktix]

Well, as there's no way to link the awards together it'd be more work for me if everybody wanted it :P

[Judge Judy]

I think that:
- If one has already received the award that was requested then the 'Request award' link should be hidden.

- And if a award was requested but made a mistake of perhaps requesting wrong award or didn't realise the award was received already (latter being what has happened to me :P) then a link to cancel request.

If it's possible anyway.
Other than that it's all good.

[Grig]

The interesting one is that it's an 'award', you are awarded for some achievement. How is coming from a hotel an achievement :S?

[jackass]

Yeah, I don't really like any of the non-forum section of the awards, but then again, I don't play Habbo, so I wouldn't anyway. :P

It's an achievement for stilling liking it and using it, I guess :P

It's a sign of nationality, something added to celebrate the merge. I wouldn't say donating is an achievement either but the award fits.
