Senior DJ position

I think it is quite rude that people are saying that some of the seniors don't deserve it. We chose the four people based on the quality of their shows and their dedication and commitment to HabboxLive. General management, radio management and the current head DJ team collectively discussed who would fit this role and we considered everyone. Those four people deserve it, I am not saying no one else deserves it but it is so rude that people are saying the wrong people were picked.
All four of the senior DJs are already shining in their roles and doing what is expected of them.

I oppose the role itself not the people chosen but it's not rude to disagree with a bunch of teens making choices about their friends; the community is quite able to have their own opinions that don't match with those of the management clique

Seniors were needed as both a interim step to climb to Head and to relieve some pressure that were already being piled on top, with Heads just having way too much to do. Many inexperienced Heads that came in from a regular DJ in the past were unprepared and ended up falling through and getting removed within the first 2 months. We need this step to train future Heads too, for 2 spaces are currently open and neither myself nor James were able to find anyone to fill these for months.

People who got promoted, well, seem fine to me and were all solidified beforehand. However, I would have maybe done this as a smaller scale operation capping the number of seniors at 2/3 at first to see what affect it has as kind of a trial run. I do believe this is good, otherwise in a few months down the line, HxL would have had a fundamental staffing crisis, where there would be no confidence in promoting anyone and too many Head DJ spots needing to be filled. This way it goes smoother.

Hopefully the logic behind this decision explains it more and I'm sure it would be beneficial for the station's future.

This explains it very well, tbh.
I think the smaller scale thing would have been taken to better, if this is just a 'trial' but there we go.

And as for being told my opinion is basically invalid and I shouldn't say that two of them don't deserve it. I've not singled them out in front of everyone to humiliate them. I've said it as a generalisation. It's called having an opinion of which everyone is allowed to have; whether you agree or not, well thats a different matter.

We will see how it goes though - good luck to all new seniors, never the less.

@Kyle; - I don't have access to that data :P

Personally I don't see the point of this senior role. Firstly, if the Head DJ's are struggling with their load - why not just create more Head DJ's and spread the work? And secondly, it's going to mess up my Habbox Staff Structure diagram to hell :(

Just gonna put my input regarding Seniors and Heads. I'm sure much has changed since I was the HxL manager but in my experience anyone who had a good grasp of what our expectations were and had dedicated many many hours towards the department (and had many more hours to dedicate) was a suitable candidate for the senior position. The seniors acted as the quality controllers of the department and had no responsibility when it came to actually dealing with issues within the department which, again from my experience, required someone with qualities which fewer people tend to possess. The Head DJs needed to be empathetic with DJs and understand how to communicate often negative feedback in a positive way in order to make sure it wasn't counter productive among other things. The more seniors the more reports we get on how the DJs are doing and the greater the understanding of how HxL is doing in regards to the quality front.
