[DISCUSSION] Should Habbox Managers be able to win large Habbox events/competitions?

[Sarah]

I think if it is run by their department then no, however say if Mathew won a competition from HxL then it would be perfectly ok.

[Grig]

^^ If Mathew won this from a department other than events, then no problemo at all. Managers should simply not be allowed to participate in events of their own departments, otherwise it's all hunky dory .

[Richie]

Small competitions are fine, but they shouldn't be able to enter huge competitions for big prizes. It looks like a hoax from an outside perspective.

Don't be bias because you're a manager. Ask yourself this, if the hotel manager did a competition for 10 thrones and a habbo moderator won, would you be pissed?

You need to remember and with all respect to the users, allot of the people who use habbox are biter and spiteful, they don't like losing. So they'd be looking for any excuse to kick up a fuss.

[Stephen]

I agree they shouldn't be allowed to enter huge comps but should be able to enter little comps.

If they don't like it then they can easily resign (A)

It’s difficult to please everyone; surely with the number of staff working for Habbox, hidden away from member’s eyes is a staff forum, which includes the occasional competition or event that is solely for the benefit of staff. It allows them the special privilege to enter without any restrictions placed on them, and a chance to win a worthy prize kindly donated either by staff or possibly jin or sierk. I imagine each and every department has ample team members who create and judge a competition/event, and each department then take it in turns to hold such an event, which excludes them from entering. If this isn’t happening, maybe it’s time to consider it.

Habbo Moderators are paid. Department Managers are volunteers, so you can't really transfer the norms over to Habbox.

[Richie]

Yes, but that's because moderators are being paid to give up their time for Habbo because... well, it's their job Department Managers here aren't paid, so you can't really transfer the norms over to Habbox.

Even if they weren't getting paid you'd still be pissed and don't say you wouldn't, if you do you're clearly lying to state a point.

If you want to enter competitions that much, resign and enter.

If they weren't getting paid, then they would be just like Hobbas were, and therefore there would be no problem with them winning 10 thrones... :rolleyes:

Well I'd be pissed in my position atm but if I got a managers position I wouldn't be and I'd be all for managers entering competitions because I'm bias like that at least I can admit it .

Habboxlive dj goes on air - "we have a comp for 1t, I will pick a winner at 200 listeners" - they get 200 listeners -
"the winner is ,jess,". Sounds great.

That example doesn't work either because obviously I wouldn't be able to win the Easter Extravaganza, or my own department competition, or my own weekly event. We have said countless times in this thread that management can't win competitions from their own department because that's just daft.. Naturally this works in the same way that Jess wouldn't win a competition on HabboxLive.

Maybe it's bias, or perhaps it's just recognising that Department Managers are regular members when it's not concerning their department. For lack of a better example, I have no influence or connection whatsoever with HabboxLive. I went through the same process of entering, like everyone else did, and it just so happened that the DJ in question thought my entry was best.

There is also a problem here, if a rule was imposed, that it's way too ambiguous to label what would be considered a "big event" or a "small event." I would say that a "Win a Room" is classed as a small event because they tend to be happening much more often these days, whereas you might think it's big.
