habbo patrol = BETA guardian?

[Tidings]

just asked paul on twitter if the patrol is the BETA program for the guardians, to find out who is doing the most and then setting them as the first guardians then the time comes.
he replied with " three weeks, going to be great!"

what do you think about this? do you think this is fair?

Habbo Patrol is to get people reporting users more often, that's all. Reporting x amount of users will probably be a requirement.

If it is, then no it's not fair. People have been following the talent track to get somewhere like guardians (even though that was still a fractured system because there's no age restrictions or w.e) and to just suddenly decide "-gives out link on twitter to a room in which 1000s entered to get a badge and then rage report people" is a better system to earning a guardian status is a bloody joke lol.

That goes against what the HRedAlert account said, that they weren't monitoring individual's performances.

The scheme is idiotic. Encouraging users to report serious rule breakers is great; encouraging them to report every minor incident is not. Already seen twitter abuzz with staff suckups (the usual suspects...) spamming paul and the Red Alert account twitter with support tickets because they've heard that it gives them a better chance to effectively win a badge.

ive reported quite a lot, only ever serious matters though. ive always reported anyway, not for badges.. its great the community are coming together to help stomp out the content. there are just a few nutters out on habbo taking it like they are staff or something. its really turned half the hotel upside down in that aspect.

Shush Kyle.... I'm one of those suck ups... It gets me nowhere *cry*

Three weeks :S That would mean that it is after this summer event. Not too keen on this scheme anyway.

Give it a rest... You aren't reporting people for a 'safer habbo'... You're reporting loads of people because you expect that you'll get some kind of recognition for it.

I'm all for making habbo safer by tightening up on the language filter but when Paul actively encourages brown nosing (and often rewards it!) then we find ourselves slipping back into old, flawed regime, in which the only players that actually get listened to are those firmly lodged in the butt cracks of the gaffer, who wouldn't even consider having a bad word to say about their (often terrible) ideas.

Put your tongue away.

I reckon this new patrol thing will have something to do with the guardian program; however I bealive there will be much more.

I really hope they dont turn lazy and just make a room for ANYONE to enter and get the guardian badge + powers. :rolleyes:
