Isit possible to tweak the criteria so one doesn't have to b an ex-eo?

What's your Reasoning?

I believe @mdport.; allows people who haven't previously been EOs to trial and if they pass the trial, they get to choose to stay as regular EOs or step down to guest. You'll have to speak to him about that though.

I thought the point f the guest role was to allow some leeway to those that have already proven themselves (not necessarily in the events department, of course) to be dedicated to habbox. Is it now just a part time role open to anyone because of the desperation for numbers?

not at all, in fact all guest eos we currently have fit into that criteria. although if someone's hosting is exceptionally good and people enjoy their events, but they can't meet the 3 a week minimums due to irl commitments, then an exception can be made although on very rare cases.

Guest roles just inspire laziness tbh and often used by old staff who don't want to be there, want the staff perms/get the behind the scenes goss/chat and would actually be full time provided the right opportunity came along or if the guest role did not exist. I mean no offence to jazz and gina who are great DJs and have proven time and again they are capable of the senior roles but they were guest DJs and now apparently they're not busy enough to be promoted to a position which is more work than a regular DJ. It makes no sense.

Instead of trying to hold onto old staff that don't want to be there full time, we need an active Habbo presence to get new staff who won't look to guest roles as something to aspire to!

I can assure you that is not the reason i am a guest eo lol? Your argument doesn't fulfil those who are already in a staff role + take on a guest role.

I choose to be guest eo because some weeks i really only do want to host 1 event and don't mind helping events out now and then, some weeks I'll host more than one but I don't want full dedication to the department.

only Gina was a guest, I'm pretty sure Jazz was a regular dj (although I could be wrong here) and i know her reasons for that. a lot of guest staff do more than their guest minimums anyway, but they can't promise that they'll be able to do so every week and it's much safer for them to stay in that position than become regular staff and have to constantly post away if they can't meet the regular minimums for that week. if someone is constantly meeting the regular minimums then management do step in to ask them to become full staff rather than guest since it's silly to meet regular minimums every week but only become guest staff.

i was regular fnx, besides a lot of the guests (me included) used to/still hit regulars minimums but because they have busy lives they dont have to do them

They don't inspire laziness if the role is used correctly. For example, someone who was in the department for years, who proved themselves and then gained manager - for name sake we will use Mathew, he resigned and went to university and now, if he was to come back to Habbox and wanted to be an Events Organiser it may be near impossible to do 3 events per week therefore the Guest role is specifically suited for him is it not?

The Guest DJ role is similar, the likes of Jaiisun when he was one was mainly because they're usually the older generation that can't commit to the workload - although it's only 2 hours per week they have to prebook them. Again this could be near impossible depending on what they do day to day (university, work etc.)

Although, to an extent I agree - I don't believe those in a Guest Role should then have other jobs that [B]usually[/B ]require less time than others. DJing is 3 hours per month yet some have senior positions which doesn't make sense (although in some cases I can understand, as on some days I'd want to host and others I wouldn't). In November I received a PM about returning to the department which I thought was nice given my past record. It was based on the quality of events a lot of us put on, but I asked if I would qualify for a Guest Events Organiser position as I knew I'd never been senior in the department, but I had been acting manager and couldn't commit to knowing when I could host an event. When I received a reply I was away therefore couldn't get back to Matt, but I decided I am a manager and I'm able to host if I wish anyway and leave a space for someone who does fit into it more.

When I created the role it was mainly suited for Senior Event Organisers or above (a bit like Guest DJ to an extent), this has since changed which is fine, but I do agree it should be used for people who have proven themselves. For example, I'd allow people like Plebings to be a Guest Events Organiser if I was the manager, as he has proven himself even though he wasn't a senior.
