More / Better Moderators needed.

nvrspeek4, you summed it up very nicely.
Only problem about VIP Council Members - what if their VIP runs out like 10 days after they become a member or before their term ends?

I think that 4 normal members should be picked through the nominations, and the other two should be picked by management.

Also, how does a normal member get into the "Executive Board"?

About VIP, perhaps those who apply must have VIP until the term would run out (it seems like extortion, but its really a failsafe, its only like two months of VIP...) We can check in ACP that they have enough VIP.

Perhaps that's a good idea about 4 and 2 ratio, we'll have to see what others think.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. The top vote-getter for each category will be at the head of their group and represent them on the "Executive Board"

Requirements - Candidates for Habbox Council must

* Have less than 6 active infraction points.
* Have no more than 2 bans (temporary).
* Must have no less than 150 posts.
* Must have been a member for at least 4 months (on the account they are running.)
* Must be active and willing to listen to ideas




Surely that infraction level is too high.... i call 6 points pretty high personally, and to get an infraction you break a rule more then once (normally get warned th first time) ... Halfing that to 3 might be a more realistic way.

Again... Surely 1 ban or no bans rather then someone who has broke serrious rules in the past.

The rest are fine, but i guess in the end its the members vote that would get the in anyway in your version of the council.

Six infraction points is pretty high, perhaps we could lower it to 3/3 (three warnings and three infractions). I agree that two bans is high, however if its a caution and a ban it may be thought over. Perhaps anyone with any bans is subject to the judgement of management as to their ability to become part of the Council?

I am not sure about nomination in a closed forum - normally nominations are public and I can't really see any really good reason for doing this but there might be one of course unless you feel it may cause arguements.

The main reason for this is to stop coercion (YOU MUST VOTE FOR ME, or IF YOU VOTE FOR ME I WILL DO THIS). This way, people can nominate freely, without having to worry about consequences.

I also really think the top 20 candidates who fit the criteria should make an address to the Forum as to why they would like to sit on the council. I see that rightly you are concerned that some members could see it as a 'power trip'. This would help members and staff alike to understand the motives of the person.

Oh my bad I forgot to mention There would be a "platforms" forum where each person would post a summary of their position, and perhaps a speech type thing to accompany it.

I am not sure about the members and VIPs being separated much as I understand the motives. It could be confusing having to vote in 2 different places and cause complications if Vips ran out of their subscription. If you were going to do this then their is an arguement for separating the rest i.e. bronze, silver, gold and Platinum. Keep it simple I say. Staff and Members whatever 'rank' they are . In any event I am sure members will vote for the people not what rank they are.

VIPs who have less than two months VIP remaining could not run. Although VIPs can vote in both areas, VIPs can only run in one area (they can run as members if their VIP is going to run out).

2 months is really too short I think and if the whole board retires at the end there will be no continuity of expertise.. I would suggest that the say top people voted in each section should be voted on for longer so changeover would be more informed and better managed.

At the end of two months, people may be reelected if they are doing well. People can go for six consecutive months without having to take a break to allow someone else a shot. However the two month periods are essential in case someone is just being a total "bobba" and to keep people motivated, instead of sitting in place for two months, then for the next two months actually doing something.

What would the function of the Executive Board be?

The rest seems very well planned and it is obvious a lot if effort has gone into it

The Executive Board would organize any publicity events, they would keep control of their groups, if it was necessary to discuss something between the groups they would be the head representatives, they're also in charge of basically running discussions and making sure that things are going smoothly from their end.

I Agree, should be members and staff , not members, vip and staff. should be an equal vote on who the person is rather then if they have vip they should have bigger chance on getting in (assuming less people vip then don't have vip.. )

VIPs can only run in one category, but they can vote in two. VIPs who will have their VIP run out shortly may run as a member. VIPs with two months remaining or greater will be able to run as a VIP candidate. Its important that VIPs too are represented so that they are considered in it. The entire point of the council is to consider all points of view when looking at something, not two thirds or three fourths of the forum, since VIPs are a big part (though obviously smaller in number than regular members.)

After you explaning the VIP issue it could work, its work a try

nvrspeek2dagirls - any idea if Sierk has read this? If yes, what did he say?

Quote NVR -The main reason for this is to stop coercion (YOU MUST VOTE FOR ME, or IF YOU VOTE FOR ME I WILL DO THIS). This way, people can nominate freely, without having to worry about consequences

Well I see your point here - would there be an independant person/member of staff appointed to make sure that there is fairness on both sides? This usually happens in closed nominations.

[Dan2nd]

O.o I like this council idea sounds quite exciting I hope this gets seen through

[Sammeth.]

I didnt expect this many ideas from it, but now it seems like so much effort has gone into developing it, and making it just like another department that it cant NOT go ahead When I suggested a council I never had this much thought behind it, just a name But its fun to watch everyone add their own into it

No idea at all, but I will ask him to, or at least send him an overview

Indeed, I'd like to get this off the ground

Of course

Haha we will try our best to get this to go forward, when we get an idea that is worked out and agreed with, usually it goes forward. Its only the success we have to worry about. I hope, at least.

Well it was first suggested on Page 6, so thats a good 30 pages discussing it! I dont see any reason why it shouldnt, as its got a lot of backing, support and development, by members and staff alike.

I 100% agree with you there.

Would be nice if this happened.

so basically for something that has been discussed for god knows how many pages, all planned out - you want to think of a way to sort it? just read the thread, listen to the users and plenty of people will agree. it's not hard to do. it would take less than an hour to set up, then give it a few hours to get some members. it be easy!
