Staff - Usernames

[LiquidLuck.]

I was talking to someone who wanted to apply to the HxHD but as soon as she knew her username on the fórum would have to be changed, she wasn't liking the idea of working for Habbox as much as before.

So this took me to wonder about the reason why Habbox Staff needs to have their usernames here changed to their usernames in Habbo. Why couldn't we just have as a rule for our Habbo usernames to be visible in our usertitle or the thingy in our profile that appears when we post.

Also I'm quite sure some departments don't require a name change, is it because for exemple graphics for exemple doesn't need Habbo interaction?

If we needed to search someone, be it management or anyone we couldn't find them as quick if they didn't have their Habbo name whilst in a community department - it's likewise in events and the Help Desk, if they have different names it would be more difficult to find them, plus, really, if you're applying to be a part of a community department you should be playing Habbo anyway therefore it shouldn't matter.

The only one really that it doesn't matter as much is competitions apart from the management as normal staff don't need to interact with competition entrants. Beforehand, it was spoken about whether Rare Values was needed for it, but due to the recent addition of the Habbox Trade Team it is.

Basically, it's just a simpler way of running things, that way managers don't have to track name changes as much - they have to request them anyway and if they wanted to change their name a lot it also wouldn't work.

If they're that bothered they could also make a new account and use that name and the account if the other is embarrassing. The Help Desk and Events are the main ones that need Habbo names, HabboxLive and Rare Values perhaps not as much and Competitions don't really need them.

The content ones, News, Forum, Graphics and Content aren't really needed as they're mainly just Forum or Habbox.com based and many don't play Habbo now.

I remember campaigning to change this last year lol

it's not really all that necessary but it's a change that management don't see as beneficial in any way, even though it wouldn't really hurt.

The problem here was the fact that in Habbo the Habbox username in use is taken.. But yeah I guess that it's easier this way..

That's usually rare and only occurs when people have wanted/short names etc. usually though if that's the case the older user, the one who had it previously, if they're not active it will be changed.

thats her fault for choosing her name then?

I didn't know of this rule at the time.

I don't see why it would hurt to change the rule but I can understand why we have it.

im glad it doesn't affect me as a mod, I hate my habbo names (A)

After reading kyle's thread, did Chippiewill ever come up with that supposed vB script?
