Should HxHD be scrapped and COMPLETELY turned into a lounge?

In reality do you think someone is actually going to press shutup? From going on what we see in HxHD they're more likely to argue back, creating a bad reputation for Habbox and making new people to the room feel unwelcome.

In all honesty, the only arguments I have seen in the desk have been between desk staff & visitors.. now if the staff are eliminated from the equation... thus not having power-to-the-head-syndrome everybody would be amicable and friendly.

well if you make it a lounge, i think there should be a help desk aswell, such as immenseman's rare values help desk, which is awaiting approval

The Rare Values Desk is a brilliant idea, someone said about the help desk being unique.. i think the rare values desk would be more so.

People have to use the shutup button and report users breaking rules in every other room on Habbo and it works just fine. Other fansite rooms that are like lounges are very popular with a couple of room moderators and don't have arguments and swearing, I don't know why you and a few others think it would be chaos, like the Habbox community can't speak to each other without being rude :S. Actually people are more likely to try and cause problems and trouble if there are strict rules in place and if they're told what to do.

Have some +rep. Brilliant post.

Yeah his room is good but it only offers rare values guidance.

In my experience of Habbo Help in the past 6 months, the majority of help required is about trading.

I would say personally that it should not be turned into a lounge. In my previous experience as an HxHD manager, I have found that there are still people who need help on a daily basis - if you're in there, you can always guarantee that someone will come in and need some help.

Even if you only help ten, or even just one or two people in a day, you have helped those people. It cannot be said that it is not a good thing. The help desk does not need to be scrapped at all...if you want to use it as a lounge, you by all means have the right to do this, and as far as I know, no one will stop you. And if they do, they shouldn't.

HxHD is valuable and historical service to Habbo as a whole. I beg that Habbox do not get rid of it.

Come on Tim stop dreaming. Why do you think I of all people would suggest this if I didn't believe it absolutely necessary? There were days in which I would have fought for HxHD until the apocalypse but now it's just gone. You are right that it's valuable and historical, but if it carries on like it is it's going to lose the value people like you, me, Eckuii, Re-Call, Krypsis, Angel-Light, Aquae, Nvrspk4, 8Freak8, WiseBen etc put into it. They've already tried to turn it into a lounge, but come on, just let go, give in, change the name and get rid of the staff!

tbh all the hxhd staff votes will be bias so should they really be counted?

No, popularity can be achieved if enough effort and motivation is put into it. It is just going through a bad patch at the moment.

We're not exactly going to just put our hands up and ask to be made redundant, are we? A lounge without staff could cause all kinds of trouble, with people having arguments which won't be seen and dealt with by someone. You don't know who has voted for what anyway, and there have been more 'no' votes than help desk staff, so there is some demand. The demand for help isn't as much as it used to be, but it is still there, and the layout of the desk and the size of the department has been changed to reflect that.

Sounds fair to me. Similar to what the OP was saying about the shows department a couple of weeks back...

A lot of other votes could be bias :S, I 100% respect the opinions of people who regularly visit HxHD. Staff are obviously going to have a opinion in this aswell!

The popularity really isn't the problem here, the desk is aways popular
But thanks for your optomism, Dan!

If I remember rightly... your argument against the return of shows was the exact same as my argument here.. no interest anymore.

She's right. The 'help desk' is thriving as a lounge, so why not push it all the way? I don't think the popularity is down to the staff, maybe two or three... but maybe that's all the staff required? No offence to help desk staff here.

It's hard to keep the energy in the desk positive with the amount of staff we already have. Many people enjoy causing arguments and disrupting things so in my honest opinion the number of staff nvr set out in the first place of 12 is the minimum needed. Staff can't be expected to be online all the time, the work should be shared evenly.

With fewer members of staff (as lets face it we dont need 12 people to moderate a room) and relaxed rules a lounge would probaby have more positive energy.

People only cause arguments because of harsh rules and some staff (talking about noone inparticular, just all staff on the whole) thinking they are better than other people - it's meant in no way as an insult it's the truth, the sense of "authority" just makes people naturally feel this, when really that sense of authority is not needed.
