Too hard to become established on the forum?

'Dear Demala,
I am contacting you in regards to actions which you made on a site which is completely separate and unrelated to our company, we are disgusted that you made said actions and we are taking action by banning you on Habbo (Suck on THAT). We hope you fall into a hole and die from the experience and we hope you hate the next 15 years without Habbo! And don't even think about creating a new account because nobody will know who you are and I already registered DemalaBan. I hope you think about how your actions don't affect us at all before you perform them.

Offical Asshat

p.s. I apologise for missing out some random crap which is usually included in our emails between each other, I really cba to spend time on you.

p.p.s. Are we still on for the date on Friday? I booked a hotel room...

This email has been sent to you by THE Ludus (www.habbo.co.uk/home/ludus).

If you do not wish to be banned in future then hide from me.
A Habbox user's account was hacked by Ludus to get this email, if you are not Demala then go **** yourself.
If you have not registered at Habbox and have received this message in error, you can not bother doing anything by not doing anything (amazing).

Replies to this email will not be processed.

The best way is to wonder why they're leaving and I think it's because they struggle to establish themselves on the forum. By establish I mean getting post counts, getting noticed, getting staff, getting treated like older members and earning reputation.

Post count
Won't spend too long on this. We know the issue here and it has been discussed. Scrap the post approval. Also, I believe you should reverse the decision to discontinue post count in the forum games section. Sure they're not adding anything to the forum but if people want to get their post count up in an easy manner then I don't see the issue. I know I used to participate to try and increase my post count. I still post in forum games now and they're still quite active but maybe they'd be more active if post count went up in there. New members would be able to use as a way to get their count up and therefore have an improved identity. Older members wouldn't criticise them for doing this and once they've got a decent post count they won't be viewed as a "noob" anyway :rolleyes:

Agreed, though the whole post count thing is stupid anyways should just hide it.

Getting staff
I don't know the facts on this but I would imagine that an older more experienced member would be given the role over a new user regardless of their application. Maybe managers should try and ensure they employ some new users. I've noticed that only HxL seems to employ really new users with low post count. Some of the most valued members have low rep and post count.

True again, fresh staff bring new people to Habbox which is what we need to survive.

Noticed
Everybody likes to be noticed. I know for a fact people don't post new ideas in here because people will flame them because they're not an established member as I have been asked by a few people to post things in here for them. Unfortunately, if someone new was to post something in here it wouldn't be taken as serious if someone like MissAlice did regardless of how good their respective ideas were. I know I +REP all new users who post in this forum. If management acknowledged this issue and posted an announcement telling all users that they're having a problem with keeping new members so want all members to be involved I guarantee that people who want to appear really good forum members will take it upon themselves to make everyone feel welcome as they believe they'll be favoured.

Once again very true a lot of our members tend to do this, unfortunately that isn't a issue that can be easily changed as its the peoples opinion.

Reputation
Again, I know people don't use this forum and stay on this forum for reputation but I know I didn't like it when I had 1 power and people around me had 15+, it makes you feel inferior. Maybe scrap the system altogether. Or would it be possible for new members to have a different set up with regards to reputation. I think it's 600 points needed for a new power, that's not easy to get to. So many members are stuck on the 1-3 rep power. Maybe if they were a bronze member of whatever they should only need 200 points to go up a new power.

Rep is stupid anyways i turned mine off a long time ago.

Anyway, just a few ideas on how to tackle the issue. I know they're all pretty minor but I reckon if all of them were implemented together (if possible) then there would be an improvement, even if only minor.

Of course there have been many other ideas such as creating a group for them all to join and what not.
