HxHD Updates!

As a former (successful) HxHD Manager I think that these changes are both good and bad.

- Staff Limit

Finally they've been allowed to increase it. Don't know what Dogboy123 has said to nvr but he changed the unchangeable. Back in 2006 we had about 30 staff - this worked well because we could get a good staff to visitors ratio. This isn't needed now as HxHD is more of a lounge than a Help Desk as it was back then.

- Interviews

We used the traditional interview (after application) in 2006. Basically the interview would be to test Habbo Knowledge. We'd have a set of questions which are probably still milling around in the HxHD forum Ben you should have a look.

Then again, with HxHD being more of a lounge nowadays do the staff need to know as much about Habbo as they did back in 2006?

- Reccomendations
I scrapped reccomendations when I was HxHD manager because it is a bias system no matter what you say. God even applications are bias but they are less bias than reccomendations as everybody gets a chance to apply. Not everybody gets noticed within HxHD.

In my opinion since you are looking for four new staff applications would be the way forward.

Applications are good for understanding a person, rather than just getting their friends to reccomend them.

I personally don't see why applications aren't used anymore, it's damn stupid. It gives everybody a chance at HxHD staff, not just those charismatic personalities that show off in HxHD infront of their friends.

This was the exact point that I was trying to hammer home, summed it up very well - + rep.

Can I clear something up.

We want staff that are active, helpful and chatty etc. With reccomendations we can see all this in action and reccomend those who do this. You can say its biased I couldn't really give two craps, I know its not and thats all that matters. With applications, the only people that'd really get a trial would be the ones who'd get reccd anyway. Applications are pointless when you can get such a clear idea of how they behave in the HxHD. YOu can't tell their behavior in the desk through a PM and don't say ooh thats what a trials for as if we know BEFORE their trial they are active and have good conduct in the desk then we know they're fit for a trial before rather than just taking a guess and hoping they're as active and well behaved as they say

why the hell do you have trials then, if you recommend someone you're saying their active would be a good member of staff are knowledgeable about habbo etc, so there is no need in a trial.

with applications the applications tells you about the person why they want to work for hxhd, and other such info relation to the person, then the trial is for them to prove that their going to be active, helpful, friendly, etc otherwise they fail their trial.

So your manager and couldn't care less what people who use it are, thats like a shop owner saying 'i don't care what you wan't i'm selling this', hence goes bankrupt and fails.

with applications everyone gets a chance to apply and everyone has a chance of getting a shot in the department instead of the people who sit in the desk for 8 hours a day.

Btw looking back in this thread, dont be rude to people, act ur age not like a 2 year old.

Trials are needed as they can get a taste of what its like and so they can be properly noted.

Words are words, all Im gonna say

I do care what public think, but when you hear the same crap over and over and over and over again its tiring, I know its not biased, end of.

Everyone has a chance to get a reccomendation

In my opinion, the changes are a good thing; and like it says above, 'About time' :)

don't tell me what to do on the forum, lol... you may try to do that in the help desk but not on here, if i was acting like a 2 year old i wouldn't be properly constructing sentences nevermind suggesting members of staff use proper english..

when you're being told over and over and over and over again thats telling you something....

no they don't realisticly as if theres someone who is very helpful and spends say 2 hours in the desk a day, and someone who doesn't help and isn't that knowledgeable in the desk sits in there for 8 hours, the person whos in there for 8 hours is going to get recommended over the person who is very knowledgeable and helpful.

So successful you turned the staff against you and you were fired? That's right.

some people on the forum who dont use Habbo (because the have nothing to do on it) don't want to be in Hxhd weeks looking for a recommendation from your staff because there not mates with them. Half this forum who don't play habbo know more than your Hxhd staff but they are not mates with them so thats there chance of getting back into Habbo gone..it's been proved that recc are biased yet you still keep them :S:S:S why? o ye you dont care what the people other than your staff think

thats a great attitude :S:S:S:S

there would be no Habbox and no Habbox help desk if they didn't care about the public

again another reason why you should not be a manager



also, would be nice to have reply from people other than JamesoYES and the other DJ's Habbox staff because its clear he wants Super Staff :S:S:S:S

i agree with everyone else, recommendations are just bias. ;)
