Moderation is a little "soppy"

[Samantha]

I think there needs to be fresh faces in moderation too, instead of just letting anyone return as and when they please. If they wanted to be a moderator they shouldn't have resigned in the first place or they should have posted away. People told me to resign as Assistant Rare Values Manager as I lacked motivation, this can be applied here, if you're not going to apply yourself to the role then resign? What's point in doing something you don't enjoy.

There's 2 moderators for Habbo, this needs increasing I believe as that's more popular than say Games and such which also has two I believe.

That's a silly argument. Many people sometimes need to resign due to work or other problems. It doesn't mean that they're not enthusiastic and don't care about their job. Better to resign, so that someone active gets the opportunity than post away for ages. Experience is always a good thing. Apps open from time to time if anyone is that desperate, and the best candidate gets it.

No it's not a silly arguement, yeah they can resign for work and stuff but they can also resign for the lack of motivation if they have it, if they aren't pulling their weight then they should consider their position.

And if they put a lot of effort into the department, then they come back once a fire sparks in them again. Unless, it's a clear ongoing thing. Even logistically, it's easier to have experienced mods. So it's still a silly argument. But diff. ppl have diff. views on how things should be managed.

Yeah that's fine I mean mainly some who come back after a break of god knows how long and stays for a couple of week/a month if that. Experience is always better I do agree but those who aren't as experienced do have room to grow and improve. However, due to it being such an important department then experience is somewhat vital!

Yeh exactly ! I know it's happened once or twice, but for a manager of such a department sometimes it's just easier to higher that person rather than going through a whole process of apps. Although it's always nice to mix and match and it doesn't solve the problem that things on the forum aren't as vibrant as they used to be.

i agree with sam, clearly some mods dont have the motivation if they are leaving 2/3 times a year then coming back...

Lol no idea why managers think this. Just delaying the inevitable when 9 times out of 10, the person they bring back remembers why they resigned the first time. It's harder but a lot more rewarding long-term to start afresh with new people and train them up instead rather than trying to cling onto staff who are experienced but don't want to be there.

I do apologise, I did mean sloppy but I missed the L, oops! I think there's some really good points here and I believe that after reading through, there should be more communication through out the department and definitely a few more mods (not a lot, maybe 3-4) and another SMOD.

that's why I said mix around
