The 'lead by example' ethos is something I plan to bring to at the very least community departments. Forcing it on departments won't really work, there needs to be an attitude change before it can be successful. Some people view management as leading those who do the work so you can focus on the admin side. I see management as more responsibility while still doing the same job you were before. There are other benefits and less "normal staff" work should not be one of them.

However, I do not feel it is very fair to name and shame those you feel are not up to the job when you do not know the circumstances. "Reduced activity" is not a new term for Habbox and lots of people have used it over the years. Structures are not fixed and are open to interpretation by different department managers using their discretion (for example, my re-hiring policy as competitions manager was different to other departments). Each department is different and has its own set of needs that managers try their best to accomodate. The circumstances remain solely private between management and the staff member. By all means, attack the policy and the structure because sometimes these structures are open to abuse and therefore can be improved. I think when you get to management, part of the responsibility involved is allowing yourself to be open to relentless criticism (both constructive and not very constructive at all). Anyone below management does not deserve it so I would urge everyone please to keep the finger-pointing in check.

I don't believe that managers are any better than say a normal staff member, a senior one or a head, although some may get more perks and such than others we're all members on a fansite untimately.

Also @OllzIsTasty; there are loads of trialists on the staff list, if you get anymore you will need to open a new department just to cater for those. I want to hear the djs we have not the ones that might come in the future - it's about now!

I haven't had the chance to DJ as much as I've wanted to, because of certain problems I've been having to deal with for a little bit, but this doesn't necessarily mean that I'm not keeping up with other things throughout the department. Just recently I've gotten better news, on how I'll be able to DJ a lot more now, but as I said..I have been keeping up with other duties when it comes to Head DJs. I have noticed myself that I haven't DJ'ed in a while, which is exactly why changes were recently done, and I should be able to DJ/stream more now.

You haven't had the chance to DJ, but yet you're on skype, msn, and habbo all day long? Seems legit to me. Now i can't say a whole lot because i haven't been around much lately but from what i remember before i resigned Senior Position you hardly came on, and you only really DJ'd when major habboxlive events happened such as the vault and anything similar. Yeah you do admining and all those little bits and pieces, but beings that you are a head DJ i think you really need to be a role model to the ones that look up to you. If you don't have the time, maybe you should really consider stepping down and giving somebody a chance that is truly active, that's what i did and then i just quit overall.

Solution:

Make me manager of HabboxLive.


HxL desperately needs a new site, I mean c'mon. How would you apply to be a DJ? I imagine it to be a laugh.

--EDIT--

On that note I'm happy to design & code a new version for HxL for free along as I could put "Coded by Qzaki" on it. If you're interested throw me a PM

HabboxLive is merging with Habbox.com when V7 is released.

Ah fair enough. Never did see the point in two sites tbh.

On the subject of inactive DJs. When myself and my buddy @Bolt660; managed news, we were smart fellas and saw that if people were on the forum all day long and Habbo etc. etc. yet were on "reduced activity" and posted as away, we would still warn them and it just takes the piss. Although some would argue, sometimes people need a 'break' from DJing. I would have to disagree, unless it has exceptional circumstanced. Your in the department to do a job and if you need a break from the job, it's clear you're not enjoying the job.

Kyle as a note to you mentionig me in the first post of this thread I djed ALL the time whenever I could then my laptop broke and was in repair for 2 weeks. Djing got boring for me having to DJ when nobody else wanted to which was a lot of the time, hence why I resigned. Having a timetable like that isn't enjoyable.

[CaptainAce$$]

I would of returned back to habboxlive with a perm show however 3 hours a week for me is too much. Since Logan is not interested in cutting down the minimum hours, I am going elsewhere where there is better freedom and more flexable hours.

Really though someone could be on the forum all day long but can't actually go on Habbox site itself? Due to them being on their phone and relying on wireless internet but as @FiftyCal; said if someone is on Habbo and Skype all day long then frankly they can DJ as that what it entails - talking and stuff. As a head you should really do the minimum required and then some no matter which way you put it, it does look like favouring other DJs take place which is a shame really as you're a team.
