News Department Feedback 2k13

Just a heads up:

Someone has corrected the missed letter in the title on this article, but clearly hasn't been through and checked the rest as there are still mistakes.

https://habbox.com/#!/News/article/2130


and perhaps in the short term there could be some kind of guidelines on the format of articles and images etc to keep things looking good.

Yes- the future of News is very much in the balance and these big changes will determine its fate tbh, however I think even in the short term it would be nice to keep basic standards up so that we don't look like a total flop of a fansite.




also @Drewar; have you wrote any articles in the last month in which you have been in the role that others could use as an example?

basically bolt is saying that drewar hasn't done a lot

but maybe he's doing the fabled BEHIND THE SCENES lark

Back off @Bolt660;, Drewar really doesn't like feedback from what I gathered.

I was wondering why are not applying for the News Department if you want all these to be done...

That argument is nearly as bad as saying 'Sorry for having a life'.

In 2010 we had heaps of people applying, and a solid number of staff which enabled us to keep on top of quality as best as we could.



Part of being a news reporter is taking pride in your work, wanting the best for Habbox and wanting to ensure the quality is good. (or at least good of a basic standard).

Personally I would be very off put joining something in which I can see from the outside there is little or no enthusiasm for the basic quality to be of a reasonable standard.




Are you saying we should just leave things the way it is? Leave all the spelling and grammatical errors there, making articles painfully hard to read and displeasing on the eye to make V6 look even more outdated than it already is? Personally I think everyone should be getting behind the challenge and wanting the department to improve and I think you'll find that more people will apply once that's done and once people can see there is pride in the department and its worthwhile joining.

This is getting old to be honest. If they want to see changes, why not apply for that particular position and improve it?
Laura and Drewar has lives and cannot be online 24/7 as I am sure their lives are more important then a fansite right?



Also regarding about mistakes, It is still readable and if there are mistakes it must be the smallest mistake.
I am not saying not to correct it either....but I won't be saying anything else in this thread.

It's their job, the job they volunteer to do. Simply because we don't work for Habbox doesn't mean we can't suggest improvements. What a stupid comment.
