Forum going down hill?

[Hecktix]

I wasn't complaining :S I was saying, and so was 'phone' that we need Moderators who contribute to discussions.

Yes but it is not fair to single individuals out.

I apologise but I was simply giving an example.

what happened to the checking of all words on the filter that was proposed like 2-3months ago? forgot? not even surprised

That is not something Matt or I can do, otherwise we would. Only Jin and nvr (I think) have access to those options and so it would be up to them to look through it.

So why don't the rude and offensive people just get banned? :S That is what I really don't get about this forum. People are allowed to continue causing trouble for way too long before they've racked up enough infractions to be banned.

I think the automatic banning system normally roots out offenders and ensures they are dealt with fairly and within the right amount of time. There are circumstances where individuals cause a lot of trouble and we do issue a ban ignoring normal processes, however this is rare and will remain so - I do not wish to start deviating from the normal process too much, as this will have a negative rather than a positive impact, I feel.

If you go to the welcome forums and just go through some threads, you will see cases where staff are launching arguments. This has been a case for a long time and I don't think it's taken as seriously. Seriously, members need to feel welcome without older members or staff launching full blown arguments or flame wars.

You should really PM the AGM for staff in these instances, or report the posts, then these staff members can be dealt with :S.

This topic is getting a bit long in the tooth and hard to follow.

Can anyone who's been involved with it post a summary of what's been discussed, concluded or suggested for those of us who haven't followed it all :p

Would be a big help as the threads a bit long to really identify any particular threads of discussion

I went through earlier with the intention of splitting the topics into individual ones but decided it best to wait for Jin.

As far as I can tell the main issues are:

Raising Presence on Habbo itself
Telling Sulake to **** off
Get rid of the elitism/ cliqueness that makes new members alienated
New Forum Skins
Strong Management teams who are willing to put change into place.
Addition of vBulletin mods to add new incentives - eg badges

[hah]

Habboxforum is needing new members and needing to update because well, its ****, old and no one is posting. So they are launching the forum on vB4 in the new year with new good skins. People also think there needs to be a management reshuffle because the current management don't use Habbo that much unlike other fansites and no one knows who they are. They need a community AGM, but for some reason they are keeping Catszy even though she is dead.

There is loads more but thats the basics i think, i doubt any of it will work though.

Edit - Yeah an award system, like every other fansite. I don't remember the tell sulake to **** of part?

And Comp and Events are supposedly going to get better in the new and get more users. Even though i made a thread about them back in September and they said it would happen then and there, but it keeps getting put of

It was early on, Matt and Oli saying how Sulake are killing off the fansites

[hah]

But there is nothing you can really do about that is there? If they wanted they could make you remove all Habbo images... then there wouldn't even be a Habbox.

That is the stupidest thing I have heard in this discussion "/ They can get this forum to take down every Habbo image. You cant tell Sulake to **** off, they can tell you to **** off though.

Sometimes you lot are always out for a fight. It's getting annoying - how about you discuss the main issues or have they ran out? Because as I've said all that it seems to be now is one or two members making good suggestions while everyone else just tries to argue over the smallest of things.
