Guardian System

That's not what I meant. I meant legally speaking, sorry.

In regards to your point though, I do not believe it would have costed them more. Moderators constantly get paid. There would also be expenses for training in all areas they need to know, and in order to train someone these days and get them up to scratch, the costs involved are the equivalent to one employee's annual salary. The way Silver Hobbas were being interviewed and trained were by Super Hobbas, that were also volunteers. So it would have effectively costed them less money in that regard.

Super Hobbas were paid employees.

Super Hobbas had to train new hobbas and even moderators. Moderators had to report to the Head Hobba.

I'd just like to point out that many people say Habbo eXperts had no power to help Habbos, whereas Hobbas did and Guardians will do.

The Habbo eXpert program was meant for introducing new Habbos to the game, and not for moderation, so the eXperts didn't need powers (and really override was only needed in a very few number of cases...)

Personally, I feel people look back on the program in a negative light because eXperts didn't do much - well, unless you joined Habbo when the program was running, then they wouldn't have done much for you at all.
Frankly, most people that even remember the eXpert program wouldn't have been the target audience for eXperts, we were there for the new players

Hopefully the Guardian program is a success, Habbo need a program like this, I just hope it goes to plan...

I so agree, being an ex myself I see a different view to those who think very negative over us.

However; this new tour system seems to be working ok, so I have high hopes for this new user based moderation system.

Nope, volunteers. The majority of new Hobba in-game training was actually conducted by a small team of people in groups/classes (usually muggings here, heeey ), each Hobba was paired with a Super Hobba for futher help but those Super Hobbas were no different to Super Hobbas who didn't take part in training and neither were paid employees.

I heard that some were paid and some wearnt paid. Hence the reason some became proper moderators. Cos I've heard that they only kept the paid ones.

Um no. People's memories of the X programme (judging from posts on here at least) are rather more positive than they were when it ended. I think people have forgotten just how bad Xs were, and if this guardian thing is anything like Xs then it won't last long.

Most of the 'work' Xs did was in the welcome lounge. That room was always full of people - most of whom weren't newbies. We could all see what happened and what did not happen there, so to assert that only the target audience knows what Xs did is quite wrong. I don't think it is for you or any other ex-expert to comment on the success or failure of the programme, that's for everyone else to decide.

As for paid hobbas..... that's news to me. The hobbas who became mods were obviously paid for their role as moderators but that is a separate issue.
