Rules for Staff Names

[Sharon]

Obviously a lot of people will flame me for this but I've thought about it (Thanks Richie) that all staff should have their forum name as their habbo name.

Reasons for this are:
- Just unfair
- People might want to ask staff questions reguarding forum but don't know their habbo name.

I hope I don't get attacked by MODs now

It should be the case, and non-community staff probably will moan.

The rule should apply for all staff.

[Storking]

Agreed! makes it a lot easier for users to be referred to them on habbo when their habbo names are clearly shown on the forum

I disagree. I'm only working for habbox on a trial for graphics which I resume on friday. However I don't play habbo anymore (I resigned as a DJ) and I don't think I should have to change my name back or anyone else who doesn't have an active role in habbo hotel. Why do moderators need to have habbo names? If someone want's to ask them a question they can just PM them. I understand your frustration though

Hiya, I would agree with you in some aspects. However it would be a bit of a one rule for one and another for Moderators - because some of the Moderators don't actually use or have an account on Habbo (apple for example). By not having this rule it creates fairness between everyone really.

I don't think so Shaz.

Basically, Habbox Forum isn't just a Habbo forum and some of our staff, aren't interested in Habbo but do their jobs 'cause they like the job (i.e. mods, content designers, graphics designers).

It would put some people off going into those rules, particularly the moderation department - we've seen many people come through the moderation department who were at HabboxForum for the areas that aren't about Habbo - Jamesy is a prime example, I'm another (although we both use it now due to our roles), but you've also got Recursion and Trinity is another good name that's been through that department yet doesn't use Habbo.

That's probably a huge mess to read but it's a messy night for me My name, before anyone asks - will be getting changed.

Maybe it could be a rule where you only get a name change once you have passed your trial.

I disagree, if your main role isn't on Habbo then what is the point? Our forum based staff who don't play Habbo shouldn't be forced to have a name which they don't need as a necessity. Community staff which need to be recognisable on both the forum and habbo have a duty to be accessible and familiar, so having their names the same just makes sense. They are ambassadors.

I also forgot to highlight that this would prevent some staff from utilising a VIP feature - we try to keep the rules the same for staff and members where we can.

This is a HABBO fansite tho, every staff member should realisticly have a habbo account?
