Complaints Forum Poll

[Galaxay1]

The complaint forum ruins the notion of 'free thought'. A lot will be lost without members' imput into a number of various questions. Habbox Forum always had a great community and could be viewed as the 'people's forum' (being a bit Socialist here, but there we go!) A lot of people have voiced their opinion on a number of aspects and Habbox has improved from them. I think (even thought this probably will never happen) that yes everyone should have their voice in the complaints forum, in order to make the Habbox community a better one for everyone.

Habbox suggestions will still get users inputs? just not complaints as it always turn into a thread aimed at a specific member of an arguement.

Now come on, as much as we probably all don't like the way Mad runs things, you're nit-picking now. Just let them get on with their job: if they think this will work then it probably will work. Stop making silly excuses and get off their backs!

You know there are probably only about 3/4 suggestions/constructive criticism threads a week - how long would that take to consider? A matter of minutes each. It really isn't nit picking. They have changed the fundamental way in which members communicate their opinions on the way Habbox is
doing well, could improve or is just failing. Padraig under the new system you would not be allowed to say what you have said above because you are not the thread starter. I have noticed a vast drop in the amount of VIP members in the last few months ( I am sure I will be corrected if that is not the case) so surely that is a symptom that things are not well here and a system that denies the members an opinion will make them feel a lot less valued than they now even though they are stll ignored half the time.

well then let them ruin their own forum

Well MAD said it was for "Complaining as a replacement to the Contact Us, which is ineffective".

Then the best way of doing it is to make the Forum like the report serious rule breaking Forum, as it's private like the contact us form complaints would have been. Members should also have the choice to post complaints here or there, as certain problems might be better solved if the community come together and discuss what they want - as it is the community you should be changing things / solving things for.

Perhaps just alter the serious rule breaking forum etc to allow for individual questions like would be sent to the contact us form or complaints against staff or other members (they should go there anyway and not here like people seem to post them)

Of course anybody posting in the feedback forum directing their thread against a member would have to be warned/punished.

The amount of stuff that appears in the feedback forums which should be closed, dumped or thrown in the spam forum is unbelievable.

Examples, James? If they break the forum rules or are spam I agree with you but that is up to the moderators surely?

Personally I don't think the complaints forum was the best idea. I think one or two things should be done.

Members have the choice to pick where they post it - but that doesn't assure them of a management reply if they post in the main forum, nor does it ensure that the management replies to the actual point they made. The management will discuss the point they made if in the complaints forum.

Members have the complaint thread copied into complaints. AGMs will only reply in the complaints threads (or rather, they only have to), however members can talk it over in the normal forum. If someone raises a good point, the member is able to pitch it in their own thread in the complaints forum, however it is usually more flame-free as the member has an interest in keeping the thread open, and its also very effective.

No, the management don't know what we want!

That made me lol. We are humans too you know :rolleyes:

Well this is a great post and I see where you are coming from here. I still do not understand why the really good suggestions in this forum go unanswered in this forum where there is really good support for them from other members.
Can I clarify then we are only guaranteed a reply if we put them in the complaints forum? Does this mean that the 2/3 really good suggestions lately can be pasted into there to get a reply? :S I ask this because they are suggestions rather than complaints.

This should go in the complaints forum :rolleyes:

Free speech died out years ago on Habbox Forum. The management go into hiding while moderators and super moderators get the abuse. This doesn't feel like a community anymore, it's an orchestra of confusing rules and terrible management skills which, instead of sounding like Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell, it sounds like aload of children whacking aload of cheap instruments. There needs to be something done...

That's one of the most sensible posts I've heard in a long time.

I think it's a bad idea. I too feel like it's just a way of shutting members up and, as Lycan said, to stop members grouping together on a certain subject.

A poll to get our suggestions on the idea before implementing it would have been nice :rolleyes:
