Move it to be debate forum then, then it can be really fun :D!

+ rep. This is true, by saying don't reply to this thread simply means we can't let our opinions be heard anymore. I think everyone deserves an opinion whether you agree or disagree.

And it's back again, this is what I mean, by all means you can have your opinion, but why post the fact that you feel you are entitled to an opinion here where the issue was originally about the moderating which has already been put into fixing. Its just it seems to me that the issue that keeps cropping up shouldn't be debated here since it has nothing to do with the original topic and since it isn't in the debating forum etc. it can look like a full blown arguement between users and staff.

This is what I was getting at about the new users etc. they don't know what the debating and discussing is like on this forum, so what will they think when they see a thread like this.

"Oh my God" are the only words that can sum up the posts in this thread, and to be honest that's all I'm going to say about the posts as I don't want to get involved.

I agree that "Unprofessional Moderation" may well be a bit over the top but it just annoys me to see the Moderation Staff failing to meet the high standards that they use to meet. Sure, it's easy to miss a post containing an unedited quote when you are a Moderator and this will always happen the odd few times. But come on, it's happening day in, day out. This thread is only about one of the problems we now have with moderation, if I included them all then "Unprofessional Moderation" would be an understatement. As I have already said, most people on here would love to be a Moderator and this is forum has a lot of intelligent members, so why not hire them?

Moderation applications have recently closed Mint, we have done that last bit already and if you read my post earlier in the thread you will be able to see the reassurance that things are being done :)

You're indirectly insulting every member of the Moderation team :rolleyes:

Also people are saying that habbox shouldn't fake perfection yet they want the moderators to agree with all of habbox's views.

Seriously you lot are disagreeing with each other. This thread is going round in circles with people making the same point that was mentioned 5 pages ago that is being dealt with / cannot be changed for obvious reasons. Not joking, this thread seems so pointless because the mods give in and you suddenly start demanding they do more :rolleyes:.

-waits for Jin to moan about the round in circles bit and close the thread-

If you'd actually read the thread and other threads I have praised certain moderators. Which totally answers your point. I wouldn't make such ludicrous accusations without knowing the full facts because the inevitable result is you looking silly. -rep for false accusations and your troubles anyway.

I think this needs to stop right about now.

Why are we arguing when we all want the same thing???

We all want the best for our Community and the best way to get it is to work together.

Please guys, come on? The arguments in here are pointless, all of them and to be honest a lot of them have nothing to do with anything relevant to improving things on Habbox Forum.

Where's the Community Spirit?

I believe every member has the right to state something they see wrong with Habbox, and management will WELCOME such posts. However, to claim something without proof, or to post something which needn't be up for discussion, just a polite reminder, isn't right. Sending a PM to Matt would have been sufficient so he could simply post in the Moderator Staff's forum about the issue. One problem doesn't make someone or something unprofessional.

QFT.

This thread does not seem to be sparking a constructive discussion on moderation, partially for the reasons stated above.

I think its fundamentally incorrect to say that the Forum Team has refused to listen, because Matt, and most of the Forum Managers I've worked with have a proven track record of responding admirably to community complaints and taking an enormous number on board.

That said, deciding when staff are out of line is the responsibility of myself and Sammeth, and I would appreciate it if nobody else took it upon themselves to judge the individual conduct of staff, at least publically. Following the correct path, as Professor-Alex stated he would do, and has done, will get you much better results. It is, in fact, a result of his PM that this is being dealt with at all.


I can see no good coming out of this thread, closed :)
