My inbox is open to any messages, comments or complaits regarding any of the news articles on Habbox.com. 0rca seemed happy enough to answer these questions and she provided the answers so I dont see anything majorly wrong, but as I said do feel free to pm me and we can speak about this further :)
lol I don't have a problem with the news article, I don't usually read them anyway :rolleyes:.. I'm merely starting a debate about how we should treat Sulake employees who visit the site.
I think treating such events with too much formality will stop Habbo staff from coming again. It was made quite clear to fansites that visits were to be fun and informal, Staff simply will not visit us on an "official" note as to be frank, regulations would stop them from saying much (such as 0rca could not mention the Help tool saga).
0rca approached this in a very clever manner with her responses to the questions on HabboxForum, I spent 10 minutes in the help desk whilst she was there and found that she was quite literally there for a laugh, she said she wouldn't answer "serious" questions and frequently ignored them in fact, she seemed to prefer to answer the questions which were a little bit more fun, which led me to ask her what her sister would make of the comments she had made on HxF :P - I think it's important to remember that Habbo staff are nothing but human and I think 0rca is perhaps the best example of this, those that asked inappropriate questions/took it too far were dealt with by 0rca (she told me I needn't moderate the questions she'd do it herself) and I'm aware she did use her powers to remove people asking inappropriate questions.
I think 0rca made a very brave step coming out like she did today "I played Habbo before I started working here", admitting that she was a Hobba and then a MOD but had to change her name - this is usually information you wouldn't expect to be revealed. She also revealed she started playing Habbo as an adult and as an older member of the Habbo community this is really interesting as I was beginning to think Habbo were against us oldies being on.
For me personally 0rcas visit to the forum and help desk gave me a better insight in to the humanity of sulake staff (at least 0rca anyway) and in the past (perhaps not so much her visit last week) Redtiz has also been quite informal, althought his has been on informal visits to HxHD.
There are always going to be limits pushed to see how far the Habbo staff will go to replying, 0rca was the one who chose to reply to any questions personal or not (I think she made quite witty responses to the personal questions) and anybody who did ask inappropraite questions she could deal with.
I think it would be an error to tip-toe around Sulake staff especially in this day and age, however I think 0rca has tremendous respect for fansites and after dealing with her via email quite a bit whilst I've been in this position, I can say that she's nothing but a pleasure to work with and so much more human than other staff.
Note she also revealed that her mother used to work for Sulake, she's made some very bold steps and I for one, am impressed and look forward to future visits.
Hey guys, Just so you know, I didn't mind the majority of the questions that were put to me. As already stated I went to the room for some fun. I'd already answered the majority of the serious questions in the forum, so my visit was purely to have a chat with you all. I am VERY thick skinned and understand that a lot of you are younger than myself and some questions might pop up that I'd not really like to answer, and if i don't want to answer them I simply won't. I have to admit some were very rude, but like its been said, I have my super powers to look after myself and I did. I have been with Sulake for 7 years now, and I have learned to take things with a pinch of salt and not take too much offense. No I'm not going to answer questions about my female anatomy, but questions that I can tell are very light hearted really don't worry me. I very much enjoyed my visit, I was laughing practically for the most part of my time there. I have a very witty sense of humor, so I get where some of the questions were coming from. At the end of the day, my visit was for you to get to know me and hopefully you managed to learn something new. I look forward to coming back again another day.
haha good job just scare them off.
Seriously, people who do this should be fired, end of.
Great news report. I definately wouldn't say they're innapropriate questions as some people have sugggested - Just unusual and quite funny!
The main culprits were people who aren't usually associated with Habbox so you can't really fire the people. However, Josh, I do agree with you!Quote:
