There seems to be a correlation between the amount of those who spend hundreds of coins and time building rooms and those who are upset or angry about how the competition is being handled... I wonder why that could be...Originally Posted by Abdicators

I thought the whole point of having a room comp is that the best themed room won.. else they might as well say may the most popular room win.... I'd be angry too if I'd spent ages building a fantastic room then some idiot whose room was **** won. I wouldn't bother again.

Yeah, that's true. I can understand why they are annoyed though, I would be too. But having staff employed to come and verify your rooms isn't the way to solve this. It'd start favouritism, some users would start to hate and then attack that staff member; you need a better idea than that. Originally Posted by Kyle

No you're wrong. There has been an absolute ton of people that have come up to me since I won and said that its unfair how he has won with that room twice in a row. So no the majority are not 'content'. It would have taken five minutes to look at the top ten rooms, check them, If not a savannah give them to the new room with highest votes that was.
Still don't know if this is confirmed, but they couldn't even get the voting system right and those with egypt had their votes added on? All I'm saying is they better buck their ideas up and get that fixed for the next one.Last edited by Red; 22-07-2012 at 03:35 PM.

I don't see how 'attacking a staff member' is an issue either. The Sulake staff member who would end up judging won't be attacked.. because we won't know who it is... Sulake don't have to tell us. It could be anyone, so we'd be unable to target even if we wanted to.
And so what if they were attacked? They're not ******* babies.. surely that's not a problem. At work everyone hates my boss, and by half doesn't he know it, but he doesn't care????

However much you want to, you can't kick out winners if their room meets the entry requirements; which theirs did. It's unfair, and it's not right, but if the majority were not content, then they would not have voted for those rooms. There are hundreds of thousands of Habbos, and each and every one of those is just as entitled to enter the competition. Originally Posted by Red

If you don't want them in there, you have to come up with an idea to change either the entry requirements, or how users vote for their rooms. You can't kick them out after they have entered, fairly, like you.

Truthfully, the room doesn't even look that good imo... :S.

Apart from that you've made some "ok-ish" points. I just think Sulake need to change it so that you need your room to be a certain name as well to submit it? That way people wouldn't go into a room titled "savannah room competition" if they were looking for a wired maze, thus reducing the amount of people just voting cause a maze looks good lol./

If a Sulake staff member doesn't know any of the Habbo's and therefore is not bias.... what's unfair about them judging the rooms?.......oh wait.... nothing

If it doesn't meet the brief, then they should be disqualified. Anyone is entitled to enter but they can make a room which fits to the brief. Simple. Most don't have a clue what the banner is, so just vote because his face comes up on the navigator. And anyway if the voting tho was true, I won by over 1000 votes anyway. Staff aren't judging rooms. I'm not saying, oh the room with 600 votes is better than the one with 2000, so lets move it to first place. All they would be doing is removing the ones that did not 'make a savannah' 'make a tree fort' and giving it to the next person with the highest votes that did.

You could do a few things to try and curb it.
- Force a new room to be created for the competition (Existing rooms cannot be entered)
- Force the room into a competition category ('Savannah Themed Rooms')
- Hide the room from normal navigator categories (Game/RPG/Popular Rooms/Trade/Etc.)
- Ensure that the room has x% of furniture related to the competition before allowing a user to vote for it. (for example 30% of the furniture has to be from the catalogue page)
- Ensure that the room has x pieces of furniture related to the competition before allowing a user to enter it. (Like it is at the minute)
You could even disallow certain pieces of furniture, like wired. No real reason to use wired.
