counterproductive moderation.

Staff forums exist and it's important for these forums to exist as they contain information for the staff such as user guides, important announcements in regards of that department and other useful stuff which is specifically for that department. If staff don't work in that specific department then there is no reason for the other staff to be told about it, hence why there is separate staff forums. In terms of engaging into the actual public forums, that would be more related to the staff spam threads than the actual staff forums in general.

Hence why I said the only use for staff forums is for private, staff related discussions or info - anything that hints towards any discussion should be moved to the public forums where maybe staff and community can discuss thigns with each other, for once. You're running a community forum - not a conglomerate where staff work in offices and your customers use your services. Jeez, just because Habbo does this it doesn't mean you should

Most stuff is discussion in terms of staff related or department related apart from one main thread that each department has which is known as the "Spam Thread". I think it would be interesting to see if a trial did take place if any effect did happen in terms of posting in the main forums and if it doesn't then I guess we know that the spam threads had no effect of some sort.

i don't know why so many people are anti-trialing it out. if it doesn't work then you can have yr thread back.

[Stephen]

Well obviously all the staff will be like

LET'S NOT POST IN THE MAIN SPAM SO WE GET STAFF SPAM BACK

Don't trial it, just remove it completely

[Mathew]

Well most people are probably anti-trial because they realise it will have no effect in the slightest. It seems to me that one small feature has been blown completely out of proportion and we're all making out that this will be the sole answer to the site's issues. It's a Habbo fansite for goodness sake: it's beyond me why you'd want to suck the fun out of every nook and cranny. The whole ethos of the site is becoming distorted - people join HabboxForum for fun, not to contribute to posting statistics.

Give it a go, just so we can put a stop to this nonsense.

oh my life matt, firstly: are you mystic meg? no-one knows the results of a trial before a trial so that's rubbish. you don't want it to work out so you are predicting a negative result.

secondly sucking the life? please get a grip. the rest of the forum is fun and welcoming, it's not like we're shutting normal spam and saying NO MORE CONVERSATIONAL POSTS JUST POST IN CURRENT AFFAIRS OR HABBO NEWS.

SEGREGATION AND LACK OF ACTIVITY IS FUN!!!

I got a mod warning the other day warning me about pointless posting when really I was just replying to something I think it may have been in papoy I can't remember, but yh the mod then actual told me personally that they were really only doing it to get their mod logs up... not gna name any names but yeh.

And regarding staff spam I don't post in the competitions staff spam mainly because it's dead and I sometimes post in the normal spam but not as much as I used to

[FlyingJesus]

Got another edit for pointless posting when I've directly answered a thread question, although this time it's been called "unconstructive posting", presumably suggesting that it's not something which can spark discussion. Apparently my reason for liking animals is somehow not worthy of discussion, nor is my revealing of what cheers me up when I'm feeling down. The fact that no-one DID respond does not mean that no-one COULD respond, and if that's the basis we're going by these days then just about every post on the forum is "pointless" or "unconstructive".

I also got an edit yesteday for saying the name of a porn site. Not for linking to it (which is covered in the rules) but simply mentioning it (which is not). I was not graphic, I did not suggest anyone go on it - in fact I actually said not to - and the mere mention of such things is not at any point in the rules alluded to.

Sort it out guys

This was the question asked by the thread poster:

"if you're an animal lover, what are your views on people who just can't stand them?"

Saying that you like animals because they're delicious has nothing to do with that at all.
