Paul LaFontaine's Hotel Tour

[MKR&*42]

Okkk, Paul LaFo has been touring international hotels and answering questions that people are... shouting out? I didn't see him in .fr or .nl, but here is some of the stuff he said in .de :

Habbo CMs

Habbo cm is a score on your profile and it goes up as you do service.
Similar to "activity points" - include "respect" like votes from others
Updates happening over next month
No head CM - CMs watched by mods
Cms can only ban if mods agree on it
Can appeal to mods if Cms act bad
Competitions will be returning with CMs
Habbo CM is earned, and the number that earn it is the number there will be

Quick info.

Building contests were reaching <1% users - unfair due to 25% effort from staff for <1% of its users

Other updates

Help system will be modernised
Illumina is an effort to clean up interface
Bringing back public rooms as places to meet
Better support system

Stuff about Paul

English, German, Spanish, Finnish - languages he speaks
Product, Marketing or anaylsis if he could work in 1 department

Why is .se the pilot site?

.Se is pilot site due to .com and other sites being too big.
Testing things in Sweden and other hotels

He's in .es next - Not sure if as many there will be speaking English, but meh.

He sounds like an absolute disaster. I hate the sound of habbo cms. This is going to be abused.

[geo]

Well, at least I know why we're not the pilot now. I guess that's understandable, and if we didn't like something they'd get a ton of complaints where as it's probably easier to deal with on something smaller. Habbo CM does seem pretty cool although there are some parts of it I think could be better. We'll see!

[e5]

Sounds really good in my opinion!

Here's what he said in .es :

Habbo CMs

Everyone can earn a place in Habbo CM if they earn trust
Making it so that if a person helps someone and they do a good job - you get trust points.
Maybe a very very very senior cm will have ban power but overseen by mods.
Trusted cms will have a SLIGHT influence on bans
CMs can see chatlogs - 80% of time, problem will be solved by viewing chatlog.
Launching CMs just before summer
You earn cm points from your actions then opt in for capabilities and extra tools
Bans WON'T stop you from becoming a Habbo CM, instead...
...Banned Habbos lose CM points.
Habbo CM Permissions not worked out
13 year olds will probably not have the experience to be a CM
Older accounts will get credit for activity so people will start off with points already earned.
Habbo CMs won't have access to private information.
They'll offset "clones" > people cheating via the use of multi-accounts to gain CM accounts, instead...
...they'll look at action on accounts (such as receiving respects) and data will (somehow) show if it's down to clones.
People caught cheating for cm points will be banned.

Mobile Devices

Probably not bringing Niko to android
Paul lovse Habbo for IoS - developing it more

Mass Unban

If mass unban occurrs - Sulake will be careful about certain types of people being unbanned (e.g. hackers) etc. (they'll make sure they remain banned)

Pets

New pets are coming
Horse updates in a few weeks

New Games

First new game = this month
big game = early summer

Guidebot

Unsure whether guidebot will be removed

Rooms

Second floors will not be added into rooms

He's answered quite a few of my questions actually aha. He's in .com.br (Brazil only, not .com + brazil >.<) in 10 minutes, then he finishes for today . I'll post my views on his responses later

[Mathew]

Sounds ridiclous. If everyone can earn a place as a CM then it's ******* stupid................. it defeats the object.....

[geo]

New pets, really? Unless I see a penguin I won't be satisfied.

Aha, a penguin would be absolutely amazing - I can just imagine it waddling now haha

[Resn]

Inexorably, who were you? I was Resn-SS and I asked him about the clone problem and the system being abused/call for help as well as loads of others, haha.

He seems to be really dedicated but I think the entire HabboCM system will flop...it will easily be manipulated and he seems to suggest that the only way it will be regulated is by Mods looking out for people abusing it. Unfortunately it is not that easy.

I'd call mine PixieLott!!!! Yeah, they'd be totally adorable. No doubt they'll just bring out more farm orientated pets.. only good for [@]@Mathew[/@] I suppose.
