    Default Good reaction

    Good reaction to the attempted disruption by the SDMs. I was critical when the reaction was non existent and nobody took control of the situation but this time people did so it's only fair I say well done

    Especially to Matt, Garion and Sam who ensured everyone knew what was going on and did everything they could to ensure the forum was safe.

    One thing I would say is it highlights the need for people to be given admin access on habbox.com. I think there needs to be another "technical person" altogether to aid Jin and his work although I understand this is difficult to find the right candidate.

    Thanks it's nice to get some positive feedback. It is difficult giving people access to different areas of admin access and by minimising it we minimise risks of people getting hacked and compromising (I like that word) Habbox.com and it's related websites.

    Thanks for the thread Jake. Myself, Garion and Sam was all communicating together to make sure nothing happened to the forum and I think it has paid out very well.

    I think the situation was handled very well by the staff we have. The issue we have when it comes to these sort of circumstances and giving out admin access is not only finding people that are capable of the various technical aspects but also they must be very trusted. Which is something I don't think we can commit to doing especially considering the level of admin powers we are talking about here is something we can't mess around with.

    There are only 3 people who have full administration of Habbox, Sierk, Me and the GM.

    If anyone was to abuse these powers we would be off the internet for a week I reckon.

    Yeah just from a personal view. I'm not interested in hx.com and hxl.com but even though the "hacker" had access to an account with powers on the forum everything was dealt with so well and the forum came to no harm apart from one announcement which wasn't up for any long.

    Yeah Jin, I know it's hard for you sierk and nvr to find appropriate people for the reasons you stated but I think after this week things have to be reviewed. Even if that's just giving a forum admin admin rights on hx.com which would have ensured the article wasn't "public" for so long etc.

    I don't think you can give anyone the rights you sierk and nvr have because nobody in the right positions can do technical stuff. In fact, I don't think sierk and nvr can anyway (not 100% sure, just guessing).

    Surely the News Manager has the admin power to remove articles?
    Unless it was this account compromised?

    There are a couple of members of staff, such as Mrs. McCall who have increased access to Habbox.com who could of removed the article it's just unfortunate they weren't online at the time. It's just a case of who is in the right place at the right time.

    Yeah, I guess you're right. Can't go handing it out willy nilly for obvious reasons.

    Meh well done to all who worked to make it better.

    I do think the whole "SDM" thing is a bit childish though... a professional reaction would have kicked them harder.
