Oh dear oh dear

I wasn't calling e5 a negligent reporter. I was calling the people who should be teaching him how to be better, negligent.

[Ouch!]

Where are applications for the News Team.

I'd put you all to shame.

I am a perfectionist when it comes to grammar and spelling. And I'm very unbiased.

Pyroka: You're complaining about advertising.....yet your sig links to a crappy (and not free) online game. >.>

They shouldn't advertise in the news reports. I don't really see your point, it's his signature he can put whatever he wants in it. It's not like he's saying advertising as a whole is a bad thing but there are places where it should be and places where it shouldn't.

Eep! Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to direct the comment to Pyroka. I thought Pyroka made the topic. Pyroka, sorry for dissing you. I feel like an idiot >.>

I'm actually offended by that, you know full well the measures we take in the News Dept. to improve standards of reporting and provide constant feedback and I find it cheeky for you to say we are negligent.

Trials are put in place to see how a potential staff member can work in an actual environment and their standards of news without and intervention from management. The candidates pass their trials if they (among other things):

• Respond to feedback given and adapt future reports accordingly
• Show promising potential to become good reporters
• Have a good attitude towards writing

Obviously some feedback is given to the trialists on their work, but only on major issues; not things such as nitpicking grammar.

Please do not judge management of a department on their trialists as that is completely unfair. The real work begins once a trialist becomes full time staff, during which time their reports are constantly monitored and feedback given.

I'm sure Pyroka, you will remember that it is customary for trialists not to receive Saturday Reports? This is for the reasons listen above.

[Pyroka]

I know the full measures you take, and either it's e5 ignoring them or them not being enforced like they used to be. I know you provide constant feedback, but I don't know the situation in the News Department? For all I know, it could be seriously busy... Which is what I assumed, when constantly seeing e5's awful reports.

I remember the Saturday reports too, and they're good. I'm not going to oppose the rest, because I agree with it.

This is feedback, this is the thing that amazes me with this forum. We have a feedback forum yet we are told to send private messages and the thread is locked.

As I've already said, there is a different between feedback and pointlessly insulting people. Feedback should be constructive, pointing out in at least a neutral manner where someone can improve. People are simply being rude however, saying "oh he's crap" and "worst article I've ever seen" (trust me I've seen a lot worse from a couple of reporters during my time at Habbox) and that isn't fair. You are free to give feedback, just make sure you go the right way about it.

I think the majority of people don't seem to realise that trialists are where the user is on a trial and is bound to make mistakes, even full-time news reporters to do it. If they didn't make any mistakes in life, they just wouldn't be human. I try my best to do news reports based on whats available at the time. I'm usually very good at spelling and grammar and my spelling results in school reflect that. Most of the time it's typo errors on the keyboard as my vocabulary is very good. My parents/teachers notice this. I haven't been on top of my game recently due to being ill but by next week (if I pass my trial) I'm hoping to improve big time. Thanks for your feedback anyway :8.

Oh come on, this isn't you 1st,2nd or 3rd mistake. And why are you doing news if you're not confident at spelling or grammar.

Does this really matter - if you can read it why cant anyone else?
