What a joke.

Going to completely disagree with the 'No Wired' , as not all would use wired for a boost / maze, Some people actually use wired to make the room more animated, better and interactive.

I like the idea of not being to enter the same room twice. It would cut down the amount of popular rooms entering. The competition rules stated that anyway, so yet another mistake on Sulake's part for allowing that to happen.

Didn't mean for the ideas to be set in stone. But that's the sort of thing I think you guys should be trying to talk to Paul about, instead of trying to coerce him into getting a staff member on the job; that wont work lol.

Sadly the character limit on twitter prevents us from expanding very far at all on our ideas and it has been proven that if you continue tweeting Paul about an idea he doesn't necessarily like to start with then you're usually on the path to a block.

I'd like to be able to have a civilised discussion with Paul on the matter and know that I have his full attention when explaining my ideas. Twitter isn't the platform for this and just means we have to cram everything we want to say into a sentence or two, making it seem a lot less thought through that it actually is...

Or perhaps we could even talk to a staff member - whose job actually would be to take the ideas of the community on board - so I know that it will at least be taken on board without some wisecrack about how it isn't their job to deal with this sort of thing and I should feel some sort of honour that I have at least got a response. I dunno, maybe they'll call themself a "Hotel Manager" or a derivative thereof... just a thought.

I know there are ways to bypass the tweet limit but sadly Paul himself would not use them to make a response, which is what I would want. I want a lengthy discussion (like the one in this thread) where we would each take on board each other's ideas and would lead to a reasonable conclusion. The current way it seems to go is a user tweets Paul with their idea, he either likes it straight away or absolutely despises it, regardless of how many redeeming features and fixes that it might have. If I write a lengthy post outlining the flaws in a system that he introduced then that isn't going to stand me in very good stead to begin with, and then there's the problem that when I offer my own (and others') suggested fixes for these problems he is going to need to be able to tell me why he might disagree with them and he can't do that without making a similarly long tweet back, which he won't do. Perhaps I'm just asking for too much...

Somebody organise an Q&A with paul or a sulake representative involved with the community on habboxforum please! @xxMATTGxx;

people are saying we shouldnt be so selfish and not complain blah blah. please take note that this competition is THEMED. half of the rooms on both comps were not not themed. the winner had already been picked for the facebook comp and is known for that therefore popular. this room is not a Savannah Maze, same with the teenagers party, i mean come on? the idea behind room comps is that room designers present a THEMED room corresponding to the theme of the competition. therefore these rooms that either are in top ten, or even all that enter should be reviewed by one/two members of staff. the staff are SUPPOSED to be active in the hotel, doing their jobs.

Im not complaining that i didnt place, I wasn't even hoping on it because i knew these rooms would take over. well done to kirst and kyle whos room is the only one that deserves to be there.

Spent like 900c making mine to have a maze room, fake giveaways, police rooms, and dating rooms beat mine, when their's is not themed.

so yes, we are entitled to moan that these competitions are not run properly. the voting is bad, a popularity contest. its a themed room competition, for themed rooms.

I agree with this. Whilst Paul is right to say that his job isn't to deal with feedback, he should be prepared to at least pass on ideas (which he claims he does?) regardless of whether he agrees with them or not, based solely on merit. They need to set up a Habbo twitter account staffed by a representative (maybe Rishell - Social Media Manager person?) dealing with feedback and Q/A. There needs to be some form of dialogue between management and the community (yes, there's Uservoice, but that's not really dialogue - at most you get a "We're looking into it" canned reply) otherwise the community will suffer and start to feel disaffected.

If Paul isn't prepared to accept feedback, then he should say a standard response of "Sorry, I don't accept feedback" rather than "That's a great idea!" or "That's a terrible idea! *insults then blocks*". There is a reason he left Playdom (Disney), people... he was also in the US Army so I imagine part of his brusque manner comes from there. (I only know that because we're LinkedIn connections or whatever.)

I dislike Paul LaFontaine and hate him, he's always been so blunt to me on Twitter and so god damn rude. He is awful at his job and he's got an ego as big as Piers Morgan.

[LiquidLuck.]

He seems pretty determinated to solve this joke about boost rooms winning competitons.

He was "determined" after the Egyptian competition.. then the Savanna competition repeated the same thing. Let's hope he's actually made some changes for the Jungle room competition.
