I love Shabbs, but this is rather ridiculous:
Shabbs
Assistant News Manager
Last Activity: 22-06-2007 08:39 PM
The reason I am posting this and not PMing it, is I think it's somewhat reflective of the way things are being run at Habbox now. There are some things that Habbox does brilliantly, but there are areas that are slipping - as shown by many little issues that I think you will see if you browse this Forum.
yeah he hasnt been active in.. -counts- 3 months.
I even forgot about him as he never posts.
Wow, surly thats fired unless he's like on a mega holiday but still.. :\
Shabbs has been a great asset to the news department previously so him keeping assistant manager role is not a problem even if he is not active. When adzeh is away etc, shabbs takes over until adzeh gets back. As long as adzeh doesn't have a problem with it, it's fine by me :).
lol. might aswell fire him and get a new one who will be active.
tru its wastin a place at habbox rly.
And doesnt look good either tbh.
News department has 2 assistant managers already :).
But there is no point having someone who hasnt been active for for 3 months?Quote:

Well yes in all honesty, but to be frank MAD neither of them actually do anything...Quote:

I understand this sounds quite hypocritical of me; however I have posted for official leave in the news department.
Surely Furi0n now deserves a perm ban?Quote:

He's banned and will be back in 10 minutes on another account using a proxy to try and hide his ip.
*removed*
Told you, he'll be back.
I lol'd if he knows how to change his IP ;D
Doesnt really matter does it?
He'll get banned still.
Anyway back to the main topic...
Is he active on the news on habbox.com?
Why dont we get back on topic and why is MAD dealing with rule breaks.... is forum moderation still as poor as it was when i used the forum properly?
Moderators cant moderate the habbox feedback/comments forum only supers/mad can.Quote:

I thought the rules said that staff still had to log on the forum regularly?
forum moderation mainly consisted of super moderators last time i saw the staff lists.Quote:

It was, but there was a recruitment drive a few weeks ago and now there are lots of normal moderators.Quote:

When I moved back a thread in the heat of the moment you said it was serious power abuse and firing was a must! In fact you have said it again lately. This is notwithstanding the fact that I had no previous warnings/infractions for anything. The strange thing is that I was reading Sierk's comments about it the other day and he said the thread was allowed so was it power abuse to move it in the first place as it was a legitimate request for you to consider?Quote:

but your post is a little inconsistent considering your past actions.
When I was a super moderator I got fired after 2 weeks of inactivity. Just shows how corrupt Habbox is, and it's getting worse.
So yet again, Habbox Management is so incompetent they start ignoring a thread when their first response gets reasonably criticised.
...
We always reply to threads that have a complaint about us, to show we don't ignore you, I haven't seen a thread recently where one of us haven't replied, and ---MAD--- has already replied anyway.
I would think it's only fair that someone who has been inactive for that long is removed, however, it's not my decision to make.
It isn't a rule for staff to be active on the forum I believe, however, it's how we gague activity for staff members as it is the primary place for Staff to obtain information for their department.
The Forum is the place where (assistant) department managers run their departments though; so if they don't come online, they should remain manager?Quote:

It shouldn't put any extra strain on the other news managers, as besides Shabbs there should be an active manager and assistant manager. Shabbs is only for backup so to speak. Of course if he also is not active anymore to help as backup it will be time for him to leave, but there is no urgency.
Going against your own manager and in that way abusing your powers seems something completely different to me. I don't remember if I said the thread was allowed, but in any case a staff member shouldn't put back a thread that was just removed by his/her manager.
With Shabbs we know that he is less active, and we are thankfull if he still helps out when necessary.

Hasn't been online for months, oh dear. Most people would be fired.
I have been on both forums and I personally enjoy habbox a hell of a lot more. Although that's probably because I know a lot of people from habbox and not many from clubhabbo. Habbox has a lot more users and I still think there is a decent community on habbox.Quote:

I am not sure whats up with elkaa though, he may be having some internet problems or something, we will just have to wait and see what's going on.Quote:

just requesting Mad to listen to 11 out of the then 14 moderation staff who had signed it would have been treated with a bit more respect especially as we had taken the pm route many times. Anyway its in the past and as I predicted at the time many, many staff would leave and for the reasons I stated.
What I am trying to say is that policies are inconsistent and people get upset if they see one member of staff being treated more favourably than another. Some people get fired for inactivity after 2 weeks. Some people get fired for one mistake. Other people seem to make very many mistakes and are kept on. I would not even have bothered to mention this except that the FM still seems to tell people that I seriously abused my powers and firing was a must which is a complete exageration of the situation. If I had banned people for fun, banned people out of spite, deleted posts and threads I could understand it.
I even suggested to him,recently, that we have a pact not to talk about each other to anybody in the future but needless to say he did not find me worthy of a reply but as he said when I was fired he did not find me worthy sending a pm of the reasons I was fired or indeed that a girl was not capable of helping to run the forum. Ce la vie :)
Less active is a little bit of an understatement? There is no way you can say he is there for backup when he doesn't come on! Lets say Adzeh and PrtScrn go away on holiday at the same time - you PM Shabbs asking for him to cover them while they're away. Great. Sorted.Quote:
