not all djs have furni and such so def shouldnt be a reqiurement and obv they applied to dj not host events and such too so wouldnt be fair but having the option to host would be good because i dont know about you (BUT IM FEELING TWENTY TWOOO) but i'd happily host events and stuff lmaoQuote:

They do get the hang of it after a while and their Head DJ sends them a show analysis PM (Not sure if they still do) which tells them what to improve for their next show and what they have improved so far etc.. Some might not even bother reading the pm but some do work hard to improve. I think HabboxLive has improved for the best so far.
Me for head dj
I remember there are guides for dj interaction and show planning etc? Unless they're too lazy to read it
yeh we have to do events however the 'event' is diff to what eos do :P so the event we have to do is stuff like gb comp or giveaways or win a room etc (i think anyway @Despect; )Quote:

oh also not many djs are young lol im one of the youngest at hxl and if not, the youngest? most djs are actually quite old lol theres even a 27yrold one

Anyway I'm gonna answer all of the comments I've seen.
Why do so many HabboxLive DJs have a lisp/issues speaking?- This is sometimes due to nerves, I know a lot of DJs do get very nervous on the radio which is something I will be working on with the DJs. I think personally a lot of the DJs are actually good at talking on the radio apart from maybe a few. This is something that I & all of them Head DJs will really work on. We have a trial server where I'd like for them to put certain members of their teams and this will really help the DJs in terms of talking on the radio as I think some DJs speak a bit too fast and just need that extra guidance. Again, something we'll really work on.
The competition questions - I know Gina made a thread with what sort of competitions that DJs should be doing and what actually gets the listeners involved which I will be bumping so ALL DJs can see. This is something that again will be worked on. I'll move Gina's thread to the guide section so we can add that into the welcome PM you get as a trialist/returned as staff.
DJ interaction - I know exactly what you mean.. I think this is somewhat improving recently but still needs some work. This is mentioned a lot in feedback PMs that Head DJs send to their DJs in the team. There is a guide made by Jade however, some of it is outdated and needs a lot more information. So, over the next few days I'm going to look through all of the guides and re-post them with a lot more detail so DJs can refer back to it if they really need to. You should see an improvement on that too :).
DJs who don't know what to say - Again this is always mentioned in feedback PMs to DJs however, some still don't know what to say. I'm going to be doing a guide about this too and posting it and making sure all DJs know what to say. I always like the chat topics where listeners send in their views and so on.
Let DJs host events - As far as i know DJs are allowed to host events if there are no events currently on during that time although I think events department prefer them to be radio based but that's something i'm not 100% on. Maybe @:odey:; can explain that more or even @Samanfa; because i'm not really sure what the rule for that is. I don't see a problem with it.
The comment about the "get 40 listeners for x amount of credits" this is only done to gain listeners, I think personally there should be more advertisement done beforehand so we start planning big competitions and build up the hype for it that way there will be more people tuning in during that time. I know we're going to start planning big events every weekend, every two weeks we will be doing fun weekends with lots of giveaways (rare & norm giveaways, credits too). Maybe even a throne giveaway too because I know a lot of listeners enjoy big competitions and this will really benefit the listener peaks too.
Lastly, the comment made about age.. why does age even matter? I hope these two people don't mind me using them as an example but @Yuxin; & @Calum0812; are both young and both one of the best Head DJs in my opinion we've ever had so age is irrelevant, we promote people who are showing their dedication not their age. That's just ridiculous.
Thanks for the feedback and we will really work on the points made, much appreciated :D!
ooh i didn't think we're allowed to? i think theres been threads in the past or something idk haha but even still i'd be good if we could get them onto the event timetable/do cnbs etcQuote:

- Possible bad hosting skills (I can guarantee this if any old DJ was allowed to host!)
- Not following the events handbook
- Possible less staff for the events department itself
I think it should only be head DJs and radio management that can host events with perhaps larger prizes or things to promote HxL more. They should be a lot different to the regular old events (such as giveaways), too.
i see the following as comps quite often
How many __ and in the HXHD
Come to the event room and say how many __ are in the room (i like this 1 tho as it populates the event :P)]
On the staff list who is the ____
force them to read the handbook then lmao like just c+p bits that are important and for the bad hosting skills im sure it wont hurt to give them a chance lol same way you trial eos you havent seen them host before so you dont know if theyre decentQuote:

for the possible less staff for events dept idk how thatd work ;p like surely it could help by making djs want to apply to be an eo
atm there aren't very few events a day and it'd help get numbers up and we do events like giveaways etc
as head djs we have to do events like win a rooms, giveaways etc like its lit a requirement
by doing events too they would promote hxl lol more events = more people who arent from hx = more listeners from advertising in the room
you dont get many listeners just sat in a party room/hxhd doing nothing whereas in events you get loads more people coming in lmao which is why itd be fab to get more events going on
