People should have to be on the forum a certain ammount of time before...

Imo I think it's cos you use hxf, you talk to staff in threads etc and just think that any staff who don't use hxf aren't proper staff. In otherwords you're a confused little bear

I got hired without a single post and now look at me.

I agree staff SHOULD interact but you can't force them.

Plus it doesn't alway make you popular as I've learnt lol.

Ok, fair enough, it shouldn't limit the applicants but ALL staff who have an active role on habbo should have a minimum weekly posting requirement.

That is something we can't force them to do, don't forget our staff are dedicated volunteers if it is not a requirement for the position they are volunteering for we can't ask of them to spend extra time to engage on the forum. It is nice if they do and granted some of them frequently post in the public domain in areas they have a keen interest in like James, David and Matt in the tech section.

But others may not have the time, up until 48 hours ago I didn't have the time to post on the public side socially and I have Mondays and Fridays off, with only 12 hours of commitments in a week. The rest of the time I am purely too busy doing things out of the public view or in my own time to find the time to post.

Now apply that to the average habbox staff member who will have evening and weekends free, in that time they need to get done everything they need to do school wise, meet minimum Habbox weekly contribution requirements and whatever else teens do in their spare time (which I am largely assuming currently is Call of Duty: Black Ops).

If they wish to post public side that is entirely their choice but not a requirement we would force, but may politely request.

That would be difficult to moderate and make Habbox a miserable place to work for. You should never force staff to do anything beyond their duties, especially with a system like this. The idea is reduce the dependence on strict systems, not make more of them.

I don't think this is fair as I am new here but I know a lot about Habbo so would be good for Habbo related jobs. Those who are new got great at graphics do not need to be a regular forum member as long as they produce the graphics in time.

I post because I want to, not cos I have to. It'd turn into a chore and things like that so why? It'll increase activity, not staff morale. Which one's more important on a staff point of view?

Ok, fair enough, but shouldn't keep intouch with the public be part of the role rather than an 'extra' chore? I know that when I was a DJ here I always tried to keep active unless I was away. But when I was here, I always posted around the forum, was nice and friendly to everyone etc. You know?

Anyway, your the boss, and it's your decision, I just feel that staff who are on habbo representing habbox should also be active around habbox forum.

Habbox is the main site. HabboxForum is just another department.

Habbox forum is where everyone communicates with each other and staff should be representing themselves on here just as much as on habbo.

Which is good of you and yes the moderators are required to add their 2 cents where it is appreciated but I think its the group effort that matters. It is simply unreal to be active on forum, habbo, habbox with neglecting things in life which are more important such as socialising and education. The radio DJ's do a good job connecting with their listeners, the site content depts to a good job connecting with the readers, the community depts do a good job connecting with the habbo users.

Ultimately, the staff that are on habbo should make their priorities, representing habbox on habbo. The forum should be for everyone to enjoy I certainly don't want the staff to feel like it is another thing they must work at.
