Staff and entering competitions

[Richie]

I understand why staff can't enter competitions, others may see it as 'cheating'. Firstly, I'd like to point out that staff dedicate tons of their time for free to habbox and in return get blocked from doing events like these. I'm staff because I want to help habbox and give back to the community not necessarily because I find it enjoyable.


HxHD- can't enter snq (Which they couldn't do anyway but POINTS ARE AT STAKE!!)
HxL - Presenters can't enter on air competitions because it would be seen as cheating, even though a random number generator is used 99% of the time. (Oh and the panel is logged by every click)
Comps - Can't enter other peoples comps as it might be seen as bias, which I can understand but I still don't think it's fair to have those in the comps team at a disadvantage during the event.
Events - Even though cheating happened between events organisers during the habbox olympics, the events team can still enter events, which I agree they should be allowed to do.



Management are putting staff at a disadvantage during this event when really it doesn't need to be done. The only competitions I could see people cheating in, is competitions where a user needs to be selected for the best post etc i.e comps but even still, i don't think it's fair on the team. I'm not too fussed about the hxss as i never really entered it in the past anyway but I just don't see why staff are limited but others aren't. I just say let everyone enter comps and let people speculate, it really shouldn't be a problem, the majority of the staff members are trusted and wouldn't want to stoop to those levels anyhow.


Oh and just to point out how unfair it is on hxl staff (haven't really looked into other departments) but since the event started habboxlive alone has given away 2650 points that's 2650 points i could have won for my team ;l

I remember getting told hxhd staff could enter during hxss, I said if that was allowed why couldn't comp staff enter fixed entry competitions. Also richie graphics staff cant enter graphic comps and same with news too. In news it could only appear bias if Laura was here as I'm in blue and news is in green, Laura wouldn't be biased though and I did think news staff were ok not to enter as its done by them etc. I think it's a process of allowing everyone or no one. Not talking about events as if I am biased im more biased to teams I'm not in lmao.

Never really thought about other departments but things like graphics I can understand because the majority of the good designers work for habbox anyhow but I agree, I just think it's sucking the fun out of the event by limiting certain people.

Because they get to see the competitions before they are released? HxHD staff don't get to see the questions. I think its very unfair on djs and why does this rule not apply to events then and I still don't agree with an events manager winning the comp overall.

I don't show any other DJs my questions before I go on air, they hear them the same time as everyone else does..

I think its more of an issue that they could log on the panel and see the answers but then as Richie said its logged sooo..

That doesnt matter? A fixed answer competition means that yes we see questions before but ww can only enter when the competition goes out and It still is completely random. Hxhd questions can easily be cheated with the ways of communicating, snq happens then whereas with a.competition we have five days to enter.

If you're doing that you might as well do it in a thread like for the olympics and make the competitions staff forum like the support forum so we couldnt possibly see.

Hxhd staff can already enter the quiz hunt so you have an advantage anyway.

Plus it doesn't really make a difference because all winners are randomly generated If I start looking at the competition line when I'm not booked, obviously it looks susy because it'll come up in the logs 'Richie has viewed competitions at 14:21' all it takes is a quick cntrl + f at the end of each day and if it shows djs looking at the competition line when they're not booked, warn them but either way it doesn't make a difference because they can't rig the random number generator..
