HxHD Changes

I'm still not convinced staff 'agreed' to the changes...

There needs to be a higher rank for those who deserve it one way or another. Having said that I think I've said enough on this topic.

You can't make judgements like this unless you know the real reasons that they stepped down I'm afraid.

Spot on.

I mean Alex and Calvin had no reason to be HxHD staff anyway, since as department managers they are welcomed behind the desk anyway.

This is exactly why I resigned. I said in the HxHD yesterday that I couldn't care less about promotion, obviously if I got one and I felt I could cope I'd take it but I'm in the departments I'm in as I enjoy them, not because I've reached a higher rank. Another reason I resigned was that it's purely more work for me kicking people out and planning even more events. Although the latter is a bit of fun, it's just more hastle and work. All the changes won't be to the team's taste, the likelihood is that there'll be one thing which everyone hates, even slightly. Doesn't mean they can't work, surely?

I agree that there should be another rank, but not for that reason. If people decide to cry over not getting a promotion then they're obviously not best for the job anyway. There should, however, be another rank (oh, maybe called Super Staff or something..) for people to EARN rights

It's not the fact that people would cry over the promotion, it's the fact that the decision would be spread out over such a large group of people and it's easier to make mistakes when choosing their replacement. Also I believe rights should be earned. We all have had to earn them in the past and it was never a huge problem. I never complained about it and when I was Super Staff I was happy to come help Normal Staff kick when they needed it. Further, the lifting of perm bans should have solved the problem with kicking... there's no one banned so who is there to kick anymore?

I guess I should of replied to this sooner but I have not been able to get on my laptop.

The banning system. If this does not work it will be brought back. With the changes, it doesn't mean that they are going to be stuck, they will be changed it they do not work. Since unbanning those who were permed banned they have been better behaved in the desk and have not needed to be kicked very often.

Getting rid of the SS role and everyone having rights was a difficult decision. Nearly all of the HxHD staff agreed to this, as it is us trusting them with rights. There have been times in the past where people have needed to be kicked and there is no one online to kick them. Having everyone with rights shows that we trust them and if they do decide to trash, well it is their choice and they would be dismissed the next day.

And it was raised about no international staff being HxHD staff, we will be trying to get more international staff into the department as habbox are trying to attract more international users (for Habboxlive, Habbox Forum, and basically all of Habbox).

More events and things. You may think “oh it will just be like the SNQ.” No, everyone in the department has event ideas and these will take place in the future and will get more users involved.

I'm sorry if none of this makes sense but feel free to ask about it in more detail it is just I am lazy and just woke up.

How do you plan on actually catching the people who trash? It'll be like password leaking (which you found a solution to) where you can't track them down. This wouldn't work if the current staff team weren't all fairly well-known and trusted which brings up my point again, what happens when you see a really great application from someone who knows HEAPS but isn't well known and trusted? It'll only take two weeks to get rights.

No comment about international staff. (Hi Alex.)

Also, I'd like to say something about all staff agreeing.

1. The most recent superstaff would have agreed as really, it doesn't affect them a whole lot does it?
2. "Hey, we're making changes so you get rights, you in?" Of course they're going to agree unless they don't want rights which were quite a pain to have.

We did find a solution to it, we already have an idea which will make the room untrashable. So all we have to do is put down the items so no one can trash.

Most staff have said in the hxhd (and some in this thread) that they liked the idea, if they didn't they could of come to myself, Martin or Oli.

You shouldn't have to do that though... you're just creating issues and problems for yourself.

[=Lizzy]

how is that creating issues and problems?

[Jordan]

So your going to put cabbages or mats down everywhere? (or something similar) to make it untrashable? Won't that make it look disgusting?
