We don't have a lot of people on this forum who has the knowledge of what David did (Not anymore at least). Plus there is some other factors.

hello there

We always have 2 Super Moderators and we will have someone to replace Chris soon too but until then myself and Brandon will be helping out with smod duties. I am also waiting for the permissions to be sorted on 2 moderators that are returning to replace other staff that have left too so it's not something that we aren't working on and not something that can change straight away.

Do you ever feel like you're not really a forum manager when you're not allowed to set the permissions yourself? I'm amazed Habbox still do not trust their Forum Managers with simple permissions.

Nothing related to trust. It's not like Scott is limited with access in the ACP and has pretty much all of the options available to him, it's just staff permissions get requested - it's like that for all departments.

Yet the Forum Manager cannot manage his department. The poor sod is having to take on super moderator roles because he has to rely on someone else to manage his department. He's not a Manager, he's a Forum Co-ordinator.

What on earth? He manages his department. No one manages it for him. Plus if the moderators were needed in a real emergency then he could of easily added themselves and messaged informing us the reason of that. The permissions were added within a day of them being requested, did it cause problems? No not at all.

No no no, you're using the Habbox definition of manage. He's a co-ordinator, he doesn't set roles within his department nor can he administrate his department. If he was a Manager, he would be a Forum Administrator on a basic level (set permissions for forums, users etc.) and then you chuck the manage part on top where he can set those people tasks to perform and alter his surroundings. I assume he currently has permissions to, for example, change the titles of forums which is one of the basic demands of a Manager? A Tesco Manager, for example, can change the layout of their store, set roles and make basic administrative changes. If he can't, he's a pure and simple co-ordinator.

So you want Forum Management being able to deal with any types of permissions on the forum? Because I very much doubt they would like more roles for what they have to currently do. I know people don't like this term but: "Don't fix something that isn't broken".

Scott said it himself, he is having to wait for someone to manage his department to create more moderators (hence he's not a real manager). It's giving them the power to streamline their department to work more easily with demands. It's definitely not any extra effort on him, considering he is afterall waiting to actually fulfill his duties :rolleyes:

Scott said himself he was waiting for someone to give the two members staff permissions. Your last post also made it look like you wanted Forum Management to be able to deal with permissions across the forum and that would mean ALL staff permissions.

If Scott had a problem with the wait, he knows what he can do. It has caused 0 problems whatsoever.

I know people don't like this term but: "Don't fix something that isn't broken".

But it is broken. A Forum MANAGER cannot even set BASIC permissions to the staff and department he's supposed to manage. When the manager himself knows it is broken, because he has been requesting these permissions, you can see for yourself that it is broken.
