Staff Posting Competition

I don't think anybody has been fired for not posting. :) The ethos of the staff should just be altered and more emphasis placed upon overall contribution rather than individual job role and targets set within reason (Ours are not huge). It would then become just a matter of course for staff to post and nobody would even think to question it.

*Removed*

Edited by Catz (Forum Super Moderator): It is not allowed to target others in this way. Thanks

Its not very often that a mod becomes inactive, if they are then they are booked away, cant exactly post 40 times a week when away/ on limited activity surely?

Because your department revolves around the forum, my graphics department doesn't, as far as I'm concerned they volunteer for habbox.com - not habboxforum.com; the actual fansite is Habbox.com not HabboxForum and I think this is often forgotten. ;)

Totally agree. If we are going to go down the route that everyone staff member has to post so many times then we may as well say that they also need to tune into HabboxLive so many times it's the exact same and I don't see the latter happening.

or enter 40 comps a month. now I think bout it mods, ever need an extra post, the comps forum is there ;) lolol jokes

Anyway, yes, I agree with myke/milestone etc. While in an ideal world, everyone would be posting and getting along great, the staff get recognition from doing their job, the members get recognition from posting. Add that to the fact that most Habbox jobs don't actually revolve around the forum (DJs, RVRs, gfx etc) and it's no wonder they hardly post. In fact, I think that the "Habbox community" that you talk about Rosie can be found just as much on Habbo which is where you can actively find most DJs and RVR staff. :)

But it is all Habbox at the end of day whether it is the site or forum but you both post regularly anyway. I just think it looks bad to them members for some staff to be here a long time and still in single figures with their post count. You have to question why they are actually here?

They are here to benefit Habbox, the forum isn't Habbox in it's entirity. For instance if a HabboxLive DJ, DJ'd 20 times a week for a year and only posted on the forum three times in the same period - would you say they don't deserve their place as staff? I certainly wouldnt, their contributions to Habbox are elsewhere other than the forum.

I didn't say the forum is Habbox in it's entirity and I not saying that people should get fired I am saying it looks bad to members. That's all.

It might look bad to members of the forum Rosie, but if they tuned into HabboxLive a few times a week and constantly heard the DJ then they'd know that they contribute to Habbox. Similarly HabboxLive's listener community may say the reverse about a DJ who posts more on the forum than DJs on HabboxLive.
