CAN I PLEASE CLARIFY that this is NOT a debate about sexism and this is NOT a discussion about the behaviour of staff members. This is about HxHD Rules.
I've been dealing with drama in the helpdesk for a while, and I can say I've had my fair share of rudeness and I've said some mean things, but when dealing with stuff like this I have to put my opinion in.
I know that people like to have fun and make fun of people, but if it offends other people in the Helpdesk, I think it should stop. End of story. And if higher staff members want to do it jokingly they should do it with great discretion and not be so blatant about it, especially when many guests are in the room. Didn't something like this go on yesterday as well?
Again I am not discussing any rudeness in the HD. If you feel that members of staff have been rude you can contact Sammeth. or MattGarner. I am referring to whether or not people believe that the HxHD rules should be clarified somewhere in hard copy, so everyone can be aware of them.
Can I just add into this, that the Assistant General Manager (Community) just told me that as far as she's aware, sexist jokes aren't against the rules in Habbox Help Desk.
I think this needs clarifying, as it's incredibly confusing for members.
I do agree that the rules need to be looked at and clarified for everyone. There seems to be a huge confusion not just for the users who go in there but for HxHD staff. If they aren’t on the sticky then they normally say it comes under rule number two which is: "Follow Staff Instructions", although that does not really define them at all.
I personally don't get offended by sexist jokes, but i know some people do... i do think the rules need to be made more clear, hence why i made a post in the suggestions thread in the help desk only forum to suggest that the rules should be made more clear and btw nice way to show how professional you all are... arguing in the middle of the help desk in front of everyone, i know if i was a new user and visited the help desk after seeing that i wouldnt bother coming back.
Yes they need clarifying, but anything deemed rude by another user is deemed against the habbox rules... I can just burst out with racism jokes... (I'm staying on topic so please don't move this post)
I fail to see at any point when I was arguing, I merely asked where the rules were as I was confused, which in turn led me to create this thread.
And you're right, we should make the rules more obvious.Quote:
