Rules for Staff Names

[Sharon]

Obviously a lot of people will flame me for this but I've thought about it (Thanks Richie) that all staff should have their forum name as their habbo name.

Reasons for this are:
- Just unfair
- People might want to ask staff questions reguarding forum but don't know their habbo name.

Rate/Slate

I hope I don't get attacked by MODs now :(

[AgnesIO]

It should be the case, and non-community staff probably will moan.

The rule should apply for all staff.

[Storking]

Agreed! makes it a lot easier for users to be referred to them on habbo when their habbo names are clearly shown on the forum :)

[The Don]

I disagree. I'm only working for habbox on a trial for graphics which I resume on friday. However I don't play habbo anymore (I resigned as a DJ) and I don't think I should have to change my name back or anyone else who doesn't have an active role in habbo hotel. Why do moderators need to have habbo names? If someone want's to ask them a question they can just PM them. I understand your frustration though :(

[Sarah]

Hiya, I would agree with you in some aspects. However it would be a bit of a one rule for one and another for Moderators - because some of the Moderators don't actually use or have an account on Habbo (apple for example). By not having this rule it creates fairness between everyone really.

[Hecktix]

I don't think so Shaz.

Basically, Habbox Forum isn't just a Habbo forum and some of our staff, aren't interested in Habbo but do their jobs 'cause they like the job (i.e. mods, content designers, graphics designers).

It would put some people off going into those rules, particularly the moderation department - we've seen many people come through the moderation department who were at HabboxForum for the areas that aren't about Habbo - Jamesy is a prime example, I'm another (although we both use it now due to our roles), but you've also got Recursion and Trinity is another good name that's been through that department yet doesn't use Habbo.

That's probably a huge mess to read but it's a messy night for me :P My name, before anyone asks - will be getting changed.

Maybe it could be a rule where you only get a name change once you have passed your trial.

[Sammeth.]

I disagree, if your main role isn't on Habbo then what is the point? Our forum based staff who don't play Habbo shouldn't be forced to have a name which they don't need as a necessity. Community staff which need to be recognisable on both the forum and habbo have a duty to be accessible and familiar, so having their names the same just makes sense. They are ambassadors.

[Hecktix]

I also forgot to highlight that this would prevent some staff from utilising a VIP feature - we try to keep the rules the same for staff and members where we can.

[j0rd]

This is a HABBO fansite tho, every staff member should realisticly have a habbo account?

[,Lexiilu]

I think this would be a dumb change honestly, many mods/gfx designers don't even use habbo as stated above and therefore some might not have an active account to change their name to. I say just let them have whatever names they want.

[Storking]

Realistically the only department who have nothing to do with Habbo are some of the mods as they might be moderating the technology forums ect - nothing Habbo related.

every other department has some kind of connection to Habbo and it'd be assumed that they'd have a habbo account.. so it only makes sense that they have their name as their Habbo name? lol

and with the graphics designers.. you're creating habbo pixel art based graphics so that's hugely related to Habbo, therefore you should have had a habbo account.. am I missing something here.

[Inseriousity.]

I think everyone (assistant) department manager + higher should have their Habbo names (sorry Sarah!) as the majority of them tend to have to use Habbo for their job and it keeps things easier for new members. but apart from that, it's fine as it is :)

[Sarah]

This is a HABBO fansite tho, every staff member should realisticly have a habbo account?

Anyone is welcome to join Habbox or apply for a job on the site (obviously if its habbo based they will have accounts) they don't necessarily have to be on Habbo - nor should they be forced to join.

[j0rd]

I think this would be a dumb change honestly, many mods/gfx designers don't even use habbo as stated above and therefore some might not have an active account to change their name to. I say just let them have whatever names they want.

Probably graphics staff more than anybody should have a habbo account. If their doing fansite graphics (which is mostly always on habbo) they should be up-to-date with the habbo furniture/graphics
Im really worried if none of the graphics staff use habbo.

some users who no longer use habbo have really crappy habbo names, that would be unfair - that torture should only be put to General Managers imo.

OK Hecktix :P

[j0rd]

How in the world is that a valid responce? They picked their habbo names in the first place, its free to create new accounts so that is no way valid.

[beth]

i hate this bloody habbo name rule ting, i understand it, but it doesn't make it any less lame.

[xxMATTGxx]

some users who no longer use habbo have really crappy habbo names, that would be unfair - that torture should only be put to General Managers imo.

Thanks for aiming it at me, I know my name is like the worst name going but jeese. I don't think it would be right forcing all of the non-community (Departments that do not require to log onto Habbo)
departments to have their name changed to their Habbo account. As for one they do not need to even go on Habbo on a daily bassis to do that job such as Forum Moderation or Graphics. We may be a Habbo fansite but not everyone on this forum actually goes on Habbo, we have a mixed community of Habbo and non-habbo players.

[Hecktix]

How in the world is that a valid responce? They picked their habbo names in the first place, its free to create new accounts so that is no way valid.

It's valid because as many people have said, some staff no longer use Habbo and did when they were young, chose a nooby name - dont use it anymore but like using HxF - there are many that do it.

I'll give you an example, NaughtyNemo - I know he isn't staff anymore but his Habbo name is minime400 or something like that.

[Dean]

It would be unfair to people like me who have roles at Habbox which are not community based. I hardly play Habbo anymore as I am 16 and don't really find it fun anymore, but I still put 110% into my role as a Graphics Designer, so I don't see the point in having my name as my Habbo name when I don't use it and when my job doesn't concern being active in the Hotel.

[xxMATTGxx]

How in the world is that a valid responce? They picked their habbo names in the first place, its free to create new accounts so that is no way valid.

When you have a name like mine such as: kisskissmattgkisskiss, you should see the amount of bullying I get from Jin and other people!

Habbo accounts are free to make: https://www.habbo.com/register
Since when have fansites judged people by their habbo names also?

Like i said, habbo accounts are free to make https://www.habbo.com/register

[Dean]

Another thing is, why would people need to know my Habbo name on Habbox Forum if the job that I'm doing doesn't even concern the hotel.

The only reason a DJ would need their Habbox Forum username their Habbo name is so people can contact them on the Hotel.

Same goes with General Management, if they need to find them, you know their Habbo name is the same as their forum name.

But with a Graphics Designer or a Moderator, what is the purpose of finding them on the Hotel? nil.

[AgnesIO]

Hecktix it is. I expect a name change ;)

Tbf, if someone posts an add on here about their new fansite and their name is '.:sexibbes327:. - you straight away assume the fansite is crap.

[xxMATTGxx]

Habbo accounts are indeed free but you cannot merge or change your name with ease. Yes, I don't need to have "xxMATTGxx" and I could of stayed with MattGarner with an additional full-stop at the end, although I chose not to. Why? Well everyone has me on my xxMATTGxx account and it also contains my achievements, badges and furni which would be a shame to lose over a name. (Even though you can trade furni over)

[Storking]

I agree with jord, if you're really that embarrassed by your old habbo name then you can make a new one easily lol but I guess we're fighting a losing battle with this name change idea...

[Richie]

When you have a name like mine such as: kisskissmattgkisskiss, you should see the amount of bullying I get from Jin and other people!
thats only friendly banter hardly proving a point.


Lets put it like this, the majority of the people who will disagree are those who work in one of the 'non-community' departments without their habbo name. Every staff member should be treated equally, sure if anyone actually gave two flying ***** all staff could put their habbo name in their usertitle. No-one actually signs up to the forum then wonders around the hotel looking for 'none important staff members'. Its always the other way around, they find the person on habbo then asks them their habboxforum username.


IMO: No staff member apart from managers or gms should have to have their forum name as their habbo name. If they do, everyone should have to.

[Hecktix]

Why should someone register to Habbo to register to be Habbo Staff? I know most of our users come from Habbo but I know a couple that aren't, if they wanted to be staff... It's a silly rule - we are proud to be a both Habbo and Non-Habbo forum and we can have habbo and non-habbo staff.

[HotelUser]

+Rep for this description. I think this makes the best sense to me :P

Surely this was your responsability when resigstering to habbo and applying for a staff role.


I agree with jord, if you're really that embarrassed by your old habbo name then you can make a new one easily lol but I guess we're fighting a losing battle with this name change idea...

Isnt this always the case, haha

[Mathew]

The bigger question is whether more people would complain if they had to change to their Habbo name and I think the answer is yes. If Oli were to put a message out to all staff saying they have to change their name, there would be uproar. You can't simply base it on one feedback thread.

To be fair, you're moderating the forum because you're (allegedly) good at moderating, not because you play Habbo. If you do graphics, your graphics are there to help Habbox, not Habbo. Therefore, what's the point in making them change? Simple.

[Yupt]

Sorry if someone already mentioned this, but I really couldn't be bothered to read through all the answers.

Those non community Staff who have a forum based job, there is a question section under feedback to ask question, so the person who wanted to ask a question could quite easily do so there and/or PM whoever they like.

[sammy]

Surely staff could just have their Habbo names in the little bit on the right hand side and everyone can have whichever forum name they want to. I'm sure it's more obvious having "Habbo: Sammify" than just having the name Sammify, a user could just think i've chosen that as my forum name and that my habbo name is something else! All staff should have to have their Habbo names or no staff should have to.

If I made that announcement I'm pretty sure it'd be similar to suicide :P It's a forum, you can be called what you want unless you are staff and do your job on Habbo.

I mean, saying "i want to know a mods habbo name so i know who they are on habbo" is no different to saying "I want to know [insert forum member name]'s habbo name so I know who they are on Habbo" - so hey why not just make everybody have their Habbo name :P

that's one the silliest things I've heard on this forum, thats like me saying, you're djing on habboxlive because you're (allegedly) good at djing.

[Apple]

The rule as it stands is that if you have a job on hxf related to Habbo then you must have the same username on here as your Habbo account. It would be highly unfair to force staff that do not play Habbo to change their names to match a random Habbo account. So I really don't see the point in this as anyone with a Habbo related job already has to have the same name.

[Richie]

Likewise if all staff were allowed change their names :S

Then why do rare value, hxl and comps all have to have their forum names the same as their habbo?

[Sammeth.]

Rare valuers get values by not going on Habbo now? When did this happen?!

[Sarah]

Then why do rare value, hxl and comps all have to have their forum names the same as their habbo?
Because they are community based jobs - they do their job on the hotel. They have to be recognised by members of the public.

[Richie]

Then why do rare value, hxl and comps all have to have their forum names the same as their habbo?

Because its part of the criteria which is ridiculous, If a ******* amazing dj applied for habboxlive and they didn't play habbo, what would happen? 'Oh no sorry you don't play habbo'. Don't give me that ******** because you know damn right they'd be hired without a doubt.

[Sharon]

Well if you posted the announcement and everyone was moaning their probably not as dedicated as you thought.. it's a simple change.

Maybe if someone complains about it their not really good staff... it's not very good is it..

[Sammeth.]

Bethie doesn't play Habbo and she got hired as a DJ. Still had to have her name changed, as if she ever does parties or on air comps or promotes the radio on Habbo (which is an active part of the DJ role) shes actively using Habbo to do her job.

Edit: ShazLouise, with that logic, are all the people complaining about having to change their name as staff arent as dedicated as we thought?

[Richie]

Rare valuers get values by not going on Habbo now? When did this happen?!

Habboxlive don't get their music or software from habbo?

[Hecktix]

Richie going on Habbo is an essential part of DJing, as Sammeth says.

[Richie]

why is that?

[Alkaz]

I think everyone (assistant) department manager + higher should have their Habbo names
I happen to agree with this. Regardless if department managers have to use the client for their jobs, as a manager it is their job to represent Habbox where and when ever they can. So in the rare event that some of them do venture onto Habbo I think it's quiet important that their names match their forum names to show continuity to the community.

[Sammeth.]

How are you going to maintain a steady listener base without actively interacting with the people who tune into your shows?

[Richie]

Yeah I'm with you on that one Joe - Managers have to use Habbo really too, well perhaps not the Graphics and Content Managers - but the Forum Manager must use Habbo to promote the forum.

[Recursion]

Is this thread not totally irrelevant? I have a really bad Habbo name from when I was like 10 so I put it in the Habbo username profile section (as you can see on my postbit), is this not enough already? :P

The liklihood you'll see me on Habbo is about a million to one anyway.

This i definately want to see.....

LET'S CHANGE SARAH, JAMES AND MYKES NAMES

I'M SO SORRY

[Sammeth.]

I could say the same about a HABBOFORUM

And don't we have community based departments to promote this forum on Habbo? Is that maybe why community staff need their names the same as their habbo ones...

[Richie]

And don't we have community based departments to promote this forum on Habbo? Is that maybe why community staff need their names the same as their habbo ones...

Problem solved, they can promote habboxlive too.

[j0rd]

If Forum Manager has to promote the forum on habbo why doesnt forum mods, graphics etc?

[Sammeth.]

That's not a problem solved, thats an unrelated issue mentioned.

[Robbie]

There's a field for Habbo name in your profile - that's fine for regular staff I think.

[Storking]

All staff should be playing a big part in promoting all of the habbox sites/departments on Habbo imo!

so technically they should all have a habbo account :-)

[Inseriousity.]

Comps dont get their competitions from habbo?

But they are targeted at Habbo users. We rely on the Habbo community whereas graphics don't.
I stick with my previous post although why -rep me with a 'good point' comment richie :(

Their more targeted at forum members, you cant take part in a competition on habbo.

[Hayleigh]

When creating a username you should be asked to enter it underneath and u no the thingy where it ses hxhd ss or dj or whatever have it there ;)

[GommeInc]

Woah wait, the arguments make no sense. Forum Staff and Graphics Staff need Habbo Accounts? No they don't, they do not necessarily have to have Habbo Accounts. For some reason the assumption is that Graphics staff cannot make pixel/graphic art without an account, when surely the idea is to be creative, not "borrow" Habbo graphics? Being an active member of Habbo may help Habbox Graphics Designers, but it is far from necessary to have an account, when anyone can make a Graphic, not just a Habbo account holder . So that is invalid as an argument, especially when the Graphic Team seem to be doing above average work anyway.

Forum Staff only need to know about Habbo if the forums they moderate are directly linked to Habbo. In most cases you don't need an account, seeing as any major news and information about Habbo is reported on anyway. Heck, I could make a few Habbo graphics either using my imagination, or copying images from Habbox News and editing them to fit whatever need is desired.

Besides, the "Habbo Names" part of a profile serves this purpose, especially when it appears to be available in forum/thread/post view :/

[Special]

I agree, but we need to work out which staff this would apply to

[Richie]

That's not a problem solved, thats an unrelated issue mentioned.

How exactly is that unrelated?


To me it seems the community departments is doing all the advertising for the forum, whilst the forum staff sit back and edit a few posts. That shouldn't be the case, the forum team should be made advertise their own department.

[Recursion]

THIS NAOW.

Also, Richie, you don't understand how darn complicated moderating on this forum is, there's a million procedures to go through for a simple post edit! :(

[Inseriousity.]

Their more targeted at forum members, you cant take part in a competition on habbo.

forum members from Habbo as the majority of the prizes are Habbo-related apart from the odd VIP comp running. Even better if non-Habbo forum members take part but they're not particularly aimed at them. Whereas graphics etc don't need to rely on forum members from Habbo or forum members from non-Habbo as it doesn't really affect their job.

[Storking]

Why do competition staff have to have their habbo name as their forum name then?
Their role has nothing to do with going in client (except for giving out the occasional HC)

Their competitions are for forum users not habbo users, but they still have their habbo names as their usernames :)

All Habbox departments have an important role to do. They are either doing it by DJing, making graphics or even moderating the forum and so on, the ones that actually "grab" the community to the Habbox websites which are normally known as the community departments are the ones who will be using Habbo the most out of any other department.

So you can't say they just sit back, when these departments "may" go on Habbo and promote the forum such as when Forum Moderators took over the Help Desk for an hour or so. There is no need to change the rule when it's quite fine as it is.

[Richie]

I honestly don't care about grapics, content etc not having their habbo names, but the forum staff should be forced too, considering they need to advertise the forum, especially after this massive downfall.

[Sharon]

This thread is going no where. It's going completely off topic! (Yes, you Inseriousity.)

Do people agree for this or not.

If not why.

[ChickenFaces]

Basically the only people currently that don't have to have their habbo names as their forum names are mods content and graphics and maybe another one or two. At least I think that's about it. Might as well just make it all staff so we don't have as much confusion.

[Sammeth.]

Community departments are there to advertise Habbox and promote our name on Habbo, they are community departments for a reason. The forum based departments maintain the forum and content of Habbox for it to look good and live up to its reputation when we gain more visitors from our community outreach. Why would we have specific departments if we would just force everyone to intermingle their job roles?

I disagree

Habboxlive - Bring in new listeners + dj
Moderators - Moderate the forum


hardly equal.


If anything the forum mods should be doing more advertising than habboxlive. Do you realize how hard it is to multi-task, keeping track of the music, speaking on air, reading requests and advertising in party room at the same time?

[Storking]

All management + higher staff should have their habbo name at least, it just makes the site a lot more formal imo

[GommeInc]

1. Duh, it's kinda in the job description. They're community related, their job involves making competitions on and off the forum. Forum staff on the other hand, do not have any concerns over Habbo nor any interest, it isn't in their job requirements.
2. How? How on earth will a Forum Moderator advertise their department on Habbo? This makes no sense :SI very much doubt a Habbo user has interests in stalking a Forum Moderator on Habbo.

So you're suggesting this:

Someone totally unrelated to an area of expertise to advertise on behalf of someone? I think a radio listener would rather talk to the DJ, than a forum moderator.

That's like asking a McDonalds officer worker to talk about how the food is made instead of the cook who creates it.

[Recursion]

I disagree

Habboxlive - Bring in new listeners + dj
Moderators - Moderate the forum


hardly equal.


If anything the forum mods should be doing more advertising than habboxlive. Do you realize how hard it is to multi-task, keeping track of the music, speaking on air, reading requests and advertising in party room at the same time?

At the moment we have to do an awful lot when a simple rule is broken, let alone getting into warnings or infractions. I've DJ'd before on other sites and I have to say whilst DJing does require a fair amount of work, forum moderating around here is a tough job, you only have to miss out one PM or something and you have Sarah or Jamesy moaning at you, which is quite an easy mistake to make with all the actions we have to take! :(

[Sammeth.]

You apply for a community job to undertake the community job role, and you apply for the moderator job to undertake the moderating of the forum. Tip: Don't join the police force to put out fires.

Moderating the forum is demanding - if DJs cannot be expected to multi-task (Habbo+Reading requests etc) then how can you expect a moderator to send PMs, actively view threads (whilst checking them) etc?

[ChickenFaces]

I don't understand why we have to have this much confusion and a huge debate... All over a forum name? I for one think that management and staff should concentrate on more important things... Just saying.

This is a lesser issue that shouldn't be addressed until a later time. And I'm sure others will agree.

[Richie]

1. Duh, it's kinda in the job description. They're forum staff, they do not have any concerns over Habbo nor any interest, it isn't in their job requirements.
2. How? How on earth will a Forum Moderator advertise their department on Habbo? This makes no sense :SI very much doubt a Habbo user has interests in stalking a Forum Moderator on Habbo.

1. Some people may want to get djing experience on a habbo site before going into the real world and couldn't actually give a **** about habbo and my point is, it should be in their job description.

2. Thats not even the case with habboxlive anymore, no-one goes to party rooms, if they do its rare, thats so 2008. Oh well, its okay leave it up do the djs, that is ridiculous.


I actually feel sorry for the djs and they deserve some praise, the amount of multitasking that is involved is unbelievable and they are still expected to do a **** load of advertising.

*Face palm* the point I'm trying to make is, the forum should be a community department. Actually it is a community department, it is based around habbo users, where most of them heard about habboxforum through habbo. Whether the users still use habbo or not is irrelevant. Habbox get their users from habbo, so they should go get some more and stop forcing other departments to do it.

Well then its either neither or both should have to.

This didn't make sense to me. You do realise Forum Staff do not have to use Habbo to do their jobs? You also seem to have gone off discussing that they should be advertising their departments, even though there is no reason for them to, nor would they ever need to.

2. Thats not even the case with habboxlive anymore, no-one goes to party rooms, if they do its rare, thats so 2008. Oh well, its okay leave it up do the djs, that is ridiculous.
Good, you've just pointed out for me that they have one less job to do. So why should Forum Staff be advertising a department that they have nothing to do with? That'll cause alot of unnecessary chaos, seeing as it isn't their field of expertise and they may supply false information. Like getting a farmer to talk about brain surgery.

I actually feel sorry for the djs and they deserve some praise, the amount of multitasking that is involved is unbelievable and they are still expected to do a **** load of advertising.
No one is disputing this. The discussion is: Staff should be using their Habbo Names. It is quite clear that many of the departments do not require any interaction with Habbo. Forum Staff certainly do not need to use their Habbo Account names, as their department is far from any use on Habbo. That's like advertising the officer workers of a fast food company, when they're not the ones advertising the company, it's the ones on the front line.

What I question is: What use is it for Habbo Users to know about the Forum Department? The Forum Department have limited connection to Habbo, so their name requirements are unnecessary in their role as Forum Staff. Forum Staff cannot advertise their department, as there is nothing to advertise. The advertising comes purely from the website - advertised by Habbo related departments (Help Desk, Trade etc). Departments like the Forum are there to look after the members, while the others are there to promote it.

In short, advertising is this:

Habbo > Website-/-Forum (-/- means either/or)

It's like asking the Habbox Content designers to advertise Habbox, when their job is only to look after the site. The advertising are for those with a hands on approach to the community.

[ChickenFaces]

Moderators and DJs have very different jobs. Unless you've been in every department and worked there for a while, I'm sure you don't know how much time and effort each person puts into their job. If it's such an issue that you don't like your forum name that much, I'm sure changing your habbo name wouldn't take that much effort either.

[Richie]

I could say the same about habboxlive, why should habboxlive have to advertise the forum? and once again it should be. I'm pretty sure you don't need to be a genius to shout out 'sign up to habboxforum', what do you mean expertise? lol no-ones trained to advertise habboxlive which I assume you know as I don't think your an idiot, I could be wrong, are you?

Yes, and none of your arguments made sense. They don't because it's a waste of time, advertising comes from other departments because that's how those departments are created. Community related departments have their interests on the community. Forum Staff look after the forum. It's kinda obvious. Why you think Forum Staff should be advertising is beyond rational thinking, when they lack the time to and have no interest in Habbo because, as other people have stated, it isn't their business. Once someone has joined, forum staff have the duty to look after that member, and the many other members that join before and after. Their job isn't to go and shout it and nor should it be. No other website does this :/

Because habboxLive want a flurry of listeners and advertising the forum is an added bonus at keeping those members. You act as though each department has it's own interests at heart, when actually they all work towards a Habbox Community goal. HabboxLive advertise themselves, Habbox and the Forum because it's their role as Radio Presenters. What do you expect them to do, just play music and make no reference to Habbox at all? It makes no sense... And you really want forum moderators to belittle themselves by flooding/spamming Habbo with "sign up to HabboxForum?" That'll be an incredibly boring and unnecessary task to undertake on a daily basis.

Every department have their own interests at heart. I'm pretty sure forum staff didn't take much interest in members or was the welcome committee brought in just for the laugh? Oh and when I applied for habboxlive it never said in the job description that I was expected to advertise other departments.

Fair enough, it gives the djs more to talk about, what pisses me off though, is I never see the forum team 'giving back' to any other department. I never said get the staff to spam, When oli was forum manager he went on habbo allot towards the end and tried to get people to sign up, other forum staff members helped. So why should their names be changed? Because habbo users will remember them, they'll get popular and draw in even more members.

No wonder staff have had problems :P All departments have Habbox's interests at heart, it's kinda common sense ;) HabboxLive advertise HabboxLive, which is a giant advertisement for Habbox. HabboxLive advertise competitions and events, some of which incorporate the forum which is a useful tool for all departments as a source of community information and interaction. According to you, this is wrong. HabboxLive, to you, should never be affiliated with Habbox because Habbox does nothing to assist HabboxLive, even though the forum and the website are a source of listeners as well. This is where your argument makes no sense. Also, the forum staff do look after members, it's self-explanatory. They moderate the forum. What is a forum? A place where registered or unregistered members come together to discuss familiar topics with each other. The moderators make sure the forum discussions and members are kept in harmony (though recent problems may suggest otherwise). I'm amazed you think DJs don't have the time to advertise, when they don't really have to think to do it. If they shouldn't advertise the forum, you'd have a pretty boring a radio and a very selfish department.

You seem to be over-reacting, as this has never been a problem before :/ It shouldn't be just about the forum staff advertising, and if they did you'd get exactly as I stated = spamming. Where would they advertise? Going into rooms going "Join Habbox" is irritating, and the Help Desk already have workers there to advertise the community, that is of course they lack any passion for Habbox, which you suggests they should be like. The Help Desk already advertise, seeing as it's sort of their thing, to advertise the Habbox Community because a Help Desk is just one front for a community, and the forum binds this community into one place. Forum Staff do not need their names to be Habbo Names because it isn't necessary for their job, which is the main difference. Some may have their Habbo Name, and if they advertise then good for them, but seeing as they look after the community being built up by the other departments, I think it's pretty equal. Other departments are the front to Habbox. The Forum is where the Habbo Users meet the other Users which make up that community.

I was trying to make the point that forum moderators names should be changed to their habbo names, so when they advertise on habbo (which as you even stated they don't do) people remember them. I'm not trying to be a ****, everyone should be doing their bit on habbo advertising habbo at the moment as it really needs it. So those few 'sitting behind the scenes' should help out in advertising. All the other departments strive to get their departments popular but the forum just relies on 'community departments' when they are a department and a community and should be part of the group.

I don't agree that its equal at all but I suppose I brought the equality bit up which I shouldn't have because they should be all working together and using their initiative to get on habbo and advertise their department. Although I believe it should be a criteria.

Your question was answered, you didn't ask me anything to do with the Welcome Committee, but I'll answer it for you - it got created for what is mentioned as "no real reason" and got removed because it didn't serve a purpose :P
I'm pretty sure the help desk staff members are there to help people not advertise, I could be wrong, I just assumed because of the departments name :S

They seem quite happy to do it ;) The room itself is an advertisement, as are the stickies (if they still exist).

It is necessary because they should be advertising their department.

What, the moderators forum? The forum isn't just for the forum department, the forum is used by all departments. The forum is where the Habbox Community meet. It's not where the Forum Department meet, they just look after it. Their job is serve the Habbox Community, not the Habbo Community.


I don't agree that its equal at all but I suppose I brought the equality bit up which I shouldn't have because they should be all working together and using their initiative to get on habbo and advertise their department. Although I believe it should be a criteria.

But as many have mentioned, it's not their duty and their name changes won't make any difference. They probably do advertise, but their many purpose is to serve the Habbox Community, while the other departments serve both the Habbox and Habbo Community. Besides, the name changes aren't necessary seeing as it's been mentioned countless times that "Habbo Name" appears in post-view underneath a Moderator's name and any other members.

I always knew my argument would get no where, you were a forum manager, mattgarner was a forum manager. Its like talking to a brick wall.

This is about the time habbox went downhill, when forum managers who were made (a)gm's would not make a change to their department because they don't like it. Once again theres a large majority in this thread that would like to see a change, but its a no because YOU don't like it. I don't know why I bother.

Forum Staff do not need the extra work and I think Forum Moderators/Staff should be hired on the basis of how good they are at their job, not if they go on Habbo. A few tech mods probably don't want to use Habbo, even if part of the forum is based on Habbo. It's unfair and not necessary.

I count less than 10 people, several hundred people use Habbox on a daily basis, I wouldn't call that a large majority Richie.

It's nothing to do with our past roles at Habbox, if that was the case surely Matt wouldn't have changed his name? Sammeth has backed us up and he is a previous General Manager who got there through the Community route, didn't you .:.:.Sammeth.:.:. ? :P

We aren't changing it because there is a clear, definitive reason for Community Staff to have their forum names as their Habbo names, where there isn't this clear, definitive reason for non-community staff and if they work on the forum, you only need to know their forum name.

[Richie]

To be fair its not cus they are forum managers, your argument was always gonna fail.

I was referring to those who replied to this thread.

Forum Staff do not need the extra work
Lol they just lurk the forum to try to find fault in ones post, hardly hard.

I think Forum Moderators/Staff should be hired on the basis of how good they are at their job, not if they go on Habbo.
I disagree


@recursion
Thats not going to help if your not on habbo advertising the department :P

[GommeInc]

And you know they'll remember them because? I don't see members who have joined say "HotelUser recommended I join".

For the same reason they remember djs[/quote]
How did you get that answer? DJs woffle on and on and get you involved with what they're doing. Forum Staff have nothing to offer other than "Join the forum".


I'm sure it would take the weight off some of the other departments

You said everyone should be pulling together, not having weight taken off... Also, the other departments do not just advertise, they do other things. Advertising comes naturally :/ Also, I'd like to know where you got the information that other departments are under great stress, when there is no evidence.

That doesn't mean the forum staff couldn't lend a hand, thats just like habbox help desk staff saying 'oh why bother advertise the forum, habboxlive are doing it' the more the better.
You missed my point, advertising isn't their primary aim, and most of the time they do it without noticing it - The room for example. Staff rarely advertise the forum by saying "Oh, and check out the forum". DJs do it because they're engaging potential members, and you'd feel obliged to check out what's behind a service like a radio, especially when some DJs incorporate the forum into their shows.



Advertising isn't serving, its helping.
And that's in reference to? I said the forum staff are there to serve the Habbox Community. Advertising comes naturally to other departments as they are there to serve the Habbo Community.

Heck, everyone should be allowed changed their name then, their habbo name appears in the post view.
However, you keep missing this point. Other departments are directly linked to the Habbo Community so Habbo Users will go by name and this makes it easier to find them. Forum Staff are only linked to the Habbox Community, the Habbo Community is not the departments concern.

I was referring to those who replied to this thread.
And many disagree with your motives. I assume you're going by number of replies and assume the interest in the thread is what matters, when actually the posts seem to state differently.

Lol they just lurk the forum to try to find fault in ones post, hardly hard.
Have you seen how many people post in the forum?

I disagree
So you'd rather hire people on the basis that they have a Habbo name? I think I prefer people who know how to use a forum than people who have a Habbo name.

I just think it would have failed because the point has been brought up before, and in my experience of being GM (and having being part of General Management for around 18 months) there are very clear reasons as to why its a rule in general. I don't know how long I've been away for, since about May-ish?

[Richie]

The forum staff have a show, they have allot to offer in that, correct me if I'm wrong. I hope your not saying the show is pointless.

Well your right in one sense, they aren't under stress at the momment as barely anyone uses habbox for other than the forum and that's only because the people that are here, the majority of them are staff or are older members or the odd stray habbo.
