Staff Posting Competition

[AgnesIO]

don't talk to me ever again.
thanks.

well maybe that's something that should be bought up some time if people dont even know who we are or what we do!!!!

Maybe it is. I genuinely believe you guys should be given more credit for what you do, but at the moment you are not exactly public - I know you are gfx manager, and rhyss has been in your dept at some stage, not sure if he still is.

[Richie]

no i doubt that. i post regularly but no-one goes OMG GRAPHICS MANAGER POSTED LETS REPLY ASWELL.

I do.


I say lets just shut down habbox, who's with me?!

[Sharon]

very professional from a manager, thanks for that.

I don't see the harm in actually setting a target for depts to post, everyones bigging up posting so much like it's a chore - it's really not? You just find sonething your interested in and post in that section. From time to time there's pretty simple threads too like mine "Do you like concentrated juice?" all you need to say yes and why. I find it ridiculous we need to tell them anyway. They come onto hxf for staff forums, it's sort of common sense to scroll down and get involved, otherwise you need to make it aware.

It's so silly when you see a new trialist with like 8 posts, anyone who really wanted that job would of actually bothered to post around for a bit.

Because nobody knows of the graphics department. I couldn't tell you who is in your department, or exactly what you guys make (I know you make awars and banners, do you make the skins?) Also you have no presence on Habbo. Whereas RV dept do, HxL do, Events do, HxHD do.

Sorry that may have came out as rude. It wasn't meant to, but it is true. The Graphics debt is tiny, and don't really have any presence in terms of being public - you don't get masses amounts of credit for your work, although it is really good (of what I know you make).

The graphics department make most if not all of the images you see managers using around the sites or on the layouts. Like i made the easter logo and bunny for the site and iConz.. made the hx.com banner and we all made the habbox today images on hx.com. As well as most of the banners used in announcements and the awards!

I don't think a seperate staff post competition would be a good idea they could've and quite a lot have taken part in the current one

Right so a really good DJ applies and we tell them no because they have 10 posts on the forum? No, if they are good or meet the requirements for a job on Habbox then they aren't exactly going to get turned away because they don't have a huge amount of posts.

They shouldn't need to post so many times they are voulenteering for Habbox and giving up their own free time to do so. Yes, I agree that moderators should be posting and someone said "Well they have the thread open anyway they can just reply easy" don't forget that most of them moderate 2 sections each which they have to read ALL the new posts that have been made in them and most of the forums are quite busy. It can become quite a lot if you don't stay on top of it

That is a pretty good point maybe News and Graphics could have their own section here:
http://www.habboxforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8
Members could then interact with the staff specifically to get advice such as how they get can a post etc.
Just a thought.

Nice signature you have there scott its FAB-YOU-LAS


Shaz I agree and I don't agree, when I first applied for habboxlive the forum was a confusing strange place, I remember I tried to reply to jess but I posted on my own profile and wondered why she hadn't replied to me in about 2weeks if I did understand the forum I would of posted around more.

This is going to sound really silly but I think there should be a criteria, I don't like how anyone can apply if they haven't a clue about habbox. They should interact with the community and show they would make a good candidate. Just like how new moderators have to be registered 3 months and be active on the forum. For example, a dj should show they're active on habbo and good at interacting with others before there is even a discussion about a trial.

Maybe that's me just being selfish but if the criteria for moderators was removed, jesus christ we would all be screwed.

[Calvin]

The idea about a staff posting criteria is just too silly. Do you honestly expect departments like Content and Graphics to waste their time posting around the forum when they could be doing stuff relating to their department? If you want them to have a posting criteria then why don't you request a 5 hour minimum in the Help Desk, 8 hours minimum listening time on HabboxLive and a criteria for comments on Habbox.com too?

Like Oli said, not all departments are based around the forum and most departments have other ways of interacting with their main userbase. HabboxLive uses the radio and Habbo, Content, Graphics and News uses Habbox.com and Competitions, Events and HxHD use Habbo/HxHD.

I don't necessarily agree with a posting criteria, however the difference is listening to HxL has NO CHANCE of helping promote Habbox. Making the forum active on the other hand, does.

I disagree. Listening to HabboxLive is a great way of connecting with the HxL audience, who are unlikely to have even heard of the forum. It is, in my opinion, where promotion of Habbox should be the most.

How? I wouldn't know if Puffin was listening to HxL (unless it was an official visit or something), so how will I know if an Hx staff member is tuned in?
