News - 2014 to the future FEEDBACK

[Martin]

The image uploader and news editor haven't worked since Habbox broke

Oh that sucks

I guess one of the good things about articles though is that articles can be pre-made ready to post on the site at any time etc, so things like this wont effect staff output/meeting their minimums etc as they can be posted in the staff forums ready for copying over when the site works. Rather as with news it was all live and relevant to current goings ons so would expire etc.

I agree I have a badge guide pre-written for the World Cup badges, it's just playing the waiting game now

Hi o/ triallist proofreader here lmao
I just did some work on the most recently posted article, and there were 10 (yes, 10) changes I made. I have a reason to be here, if we get more articles. And if you guys are so miffed about not having any articles, I welcome all of you to come write some and see how crushing my blows are when I proofread your work

[FlyingJesus]

No-one said there wasn't a reason for you to be there

Congratulations to @lRhyss;, the only member of the Articles department capable of writing an article.

I can only assume that @-:Undertaker:-;, @Americanozz;, @bikini;, @Drewar;, and @iAbby,.; will be either dismissed or produce a flurry of articles within the next few days. In the meantime management seems very quiet on all this.

I believe Laura is back tomorrow. We will be looking into this and doing whatever necessary.

I believe Undertaker only does the rare values weekly thing, not sure where it is though.
Drew has been working really hard behind the scenes, changing a lot of... Well things (trying to to get Bolt660'd)
Not sure what's up with the others though

[FlyingJesus]

I wonder if it's possible to have an active feedback thread where "X is away" or "there are things happening behind the scenes" aren't used as excuses for absolute failure to perform

What on earth is 'getting Bolt660'd' LOL

So I guess if you don't know where everyone is, that means they aren't posted away


Behind the scenes things are all good and well and help for the longterm, but when the current stuff gets neglected is where there's a problem and there needs to be a balance between the two. It's no good putting everything on hold and having weeks/months of dismal output when lets be honest, it doesn't take that long to write a decent article, and if other departments are capable of spending hours and meeting their set minimums per week then I don't see why this should be any different. If staff aren't pulling their weight then the manager needs to step in and do something asap, and if needs be it then falls upon them to fill in the gaps where necessary and write some articles themself to keep things going!

I think when big changes are announced to a department, obviously more eyes than usual will be on it, and its a bit like a damp fish (idk if thats a term) when all we've seen so far is pretty much a couple of badge guides which existed under the news department.


I agree with Tom, those excuses are used far too much these days and its really letting things down. I think there's so much potential there, and its just being missed. If things are in the pipeline then thats all well and good, but I don't think realistically it should take a month to get a decent output going and at least some creative bits and bobs up, especially with the amount of staff that we currently have.

I believe there is a three week rule for posting away, so I'm guessing those that have failed to produce anything/do any work for three weeks will be dealt with accordingly.




Okay I hope there was no sassy comments in that, I tried my ultimate hardest!!!
