I would love to shove every Habbo.com piece of news out there, but then I get whined at for "doing all the news" (to quote CaptainAce).

It's the fact other news reporters are too lazy and just don't care about news, and if no-one else is applying for news there is so little we can do about habbo.com being a priority without a massive rant occurring.

CaptainAce is correct.

I saw this myself, decided to check news out recently out of interest and see, that international articles, such as from the .fr hotel were posted, whilst articles on the .com hotel were ignored.

Likewise if a person was forced to join news to do guides, they'd might not like the full news writing style and just want to write a guide once in a while.

So in short you're basically asking to create a brand new department and giving Content and News writers the option to go in there. But they don't have to...

That would just be another non needed department and a complete waste of time.

Ergh that's not a fair question :( Can't you just have 2 joint assistant managers 'cause I'm 99% sure I've seen this before. I don't see why one should be manager over the other really.

Then wouldn't that be merging departments again? I must be missing something here...

So you'd force someone to join content just so they could write a guide, and if there wasn't any guides for them to write they'd have to do wiki work which they may not want to do?

I'm sorry but unless you make different roles inside content itself (content writer / guide writer idk not that wording) then that's ridiculous.

Are you missing the point...

I am talking about news. Take a dictionary and read what it means. It's the manager's problem, if Content does not have enough staff. I would never have applied to news if I had to write stupid guides.

Why don't you try merging again? I'm sure some people were discussing in content (think @Samanfa;) that she eventually did want to merge and liked it.

In all fairness, I have changed my mind too and think merging isn't a terrible idea if there are specialised roles in the dept. itself.

yea this is why i'm sorta with the putting it into a new dep of it's own but I still think it's a bit much for a new dep and would suit a sub-dep more.

but if it was moved to content that's my problem cause I wouldn't want to join cause skynus refuses to accept the idea of separated mins, i'd never do wiki work sorry lmao

--------------
@Grig; assuming it did happen you wouldn't have to do them though cause of being a sub-dep within news so you would completely have the option to opt out of it
