It has come to my attention that the VIP editors really don't do there job that often. Everytime I request something it always takes ages to come through. I am still waiting for rep points that I requested a week ago I think. I really think there needs to be more VIP editors that visit the forum daily meaning the "request your VIP features" thread can also be updated daily aswell.
Thread closed by Professor-Alex (Moderation Manager) due to continual flaming and disrepespect staff.
dont care cos i ain't vip
I got what I wanted within 24 hours.
I dont see any problems, Ive always had mine done quickly =S
I agree it does take ages but isn't there only one VIP editor?
Just lucky ;)Quote:

Possibly, another ONE could be a help for Nick, but he seems to be doing fine :)
I am not trying to say Nick- is doing a bad job I'm just saying another VIP's editor would help.
I would Gladly do it :P but seriously maybe two or someone who comes on more often?
I wouldn't mind doing it myself to be honest. I feel as if I need more jobs on hxf anyway. I hope I get the HxHD job :).
Don't you think that you should all just concentrate on the jobs you have?
Nick-'s job isn't easy, and I guess that it is very boring aswell.
He comes running to your every VIP command and does what you ask.
So thanks Nick :)
I remember when me, Baving and Nvr used to all be VIP Managers. It gets confusing when there is more than one. Some of the stuff gets done twice and sometimes the other editor will have nout to do.
Maybe they should do it once a day between a certain time. That way people know when to expect their features and don't make threads moaning about it.
I was kidding ;)Quote:

All the wannabe admins ^^
:p
I guess lascend deserves the job ;)
They won't just hand the job to anyone, they'd have to have experience and be trusted with those permissions. But I do agree there needs to be two maybe.

To say Nick- isn't doing his job efficiently is unfair, VIP editors have an awful lot to do, most of which is behind the scenes and you won't see. Nick- does it to the best of his ability (which is damn good) - He is one of the most helpful, hardworking and dedicated member of staff.
i'll be vip editor if u want :D:D
Ok then, Energizer.Quote:

I mean one person controlling all of the VIP features on a thread with almost 34 thousand members, jeesh!Quote:

I think we should draw a line here and say YOU WILL NOT GET THE JOB IF YOU ASK
You have to be trusted and there isn't even a job to fill anyway so lets stop with the asking
Yeh he's right, Asking will get you nowhere unless you are very highly trusted.
Even if you were trusted you wouldn't just get the job by asking, it must be earned.Quote:

that one of the reasons.
Seems that more people would agree than the people that don't agree but I must admit that I voted for yes so call it a tie. :P
Not read the whole thread.
There used to be 2 VIP editors, Nick and nvrspk4 (i think) but then it was reduced to one because having two people got confusing and jobs got overlapped, some being done twice and things like rep being doubled as a result.
Ye its the main reason and like other people have said. Generally its twice as much work for both editors because they do someones VIP then to find out its already been done then they have go through and remove what they have just added etc. Its just alot easier for one person to do it, you may have to wait a little longer for it to get done but not much.Quote:

As it stands there is only 1 subscription on your account that you purchased just under a week ago and you already have the reputation for that subscription as shown here: http://www.habboxforum.com/showpost....postcount=1959
Any further posts requesting reputation have got the same or a similar answer which is that there are no other subscriptions on your account, without a subscription I've got no way of telling whether you're entitled to anything. You've requested it three times so far and each time I can only assume that you haven't read the reason why the reputation has been added and came to the conclusion that I forgot to add it or ignored it.
It used to be updated daily, when I had the time and wasn't busy with work, unfortunately, since mid June things have stacked up and this has had to take a back seat. I can't add much to what previous posts have said, Barkseh's post explains it well and from previous experience too. Funny that the idea of a rota should be considered, I was considering it myself the other day, unfortunately it may become tricky if, for whatever reason, one of the VIP editors can't stick to the rota for that particular day leaving more work for the other VIP editor to pick up the slack and skew the rota slightly. Also, I'm off on holiday in a week so adding a rota wouldn't be that beneficial at the moment because I'm not sure I'll have access to and have the time to go on a computer every day. ;)
I bet alot of people would gladly take an administrative position. ;)Quote:

Don't know how you worked that one out. Within the last week it has been done once. Within the past month it has been done every three days, except on 2 occasions when there was a 4 day gap and 2 occasions when there was a 2 day gap. Thats roughly twice a week.Quote:

I personally am not too bothered by it as I don't request VIP features that often.
Is there a way rep can automatically be added or users can change their VIP user title themselves?
I think maybe another VIP editor could be hired
and maybe there could be a thread for 2 seprate Editors so they could get there own work load the only problem with that is that the VIP members could post in both threads.
Vip Editor 1 - Does Name changes, Reputation.
Vip Editor 2 - Does Usertitle changes, emails, sub forums.
The request thread would be split into two more.
One request for Reputation only, and another for Usertitles, emails and sub forums allowing both VIP editors seperate job tasks but still doing work (:
I know there is more then one, but i think one more might help lighten the load as alot of requests are made, also i had to wait a week for mine to be done :) i think it should be checked every other day!
Nick did reply if you read instead of complaing, he said that the VIP you bough of another member did not show up. And you said that you think the person scammed you so thats why you have not got them!Quote:

nvrspk4 sets up subscriptions where as Nick is the only one that does the features. It's nearly always more than 48 hours so I don't know where you got that from.Quote:
