Staff and entering competitions

[Red]

Well i think its absolutely ridiculous that 'hxhd staff might give other hxhd staff the answers' was put forward as a reason for us not being allowed to enter. There is absolutely no valid reason why we shouldn't apart from 'its unfair on other departments.' So why are events allowed to enter events then?

[Foregetfuhl]

If it were things like rares/thrones i would probs restrict the HxL staff, but i'm only really giving away points and sometimes credits and I wouldn't show the DJs.. everythings logged :/ need people to start trusting the HxL staff, 99% of them won't cheat and it is all random. I'm not good at events, questions are my bag and it sucks because I can't enter the HxL competitions, when I know those are my best way to get points.

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

not sure why you say that but i dont wanna cause an argument. but i don't think there is a need to bring the hxhd quiz hunt into this even though it was only an "example". it was organised by me and rosy, we haven't let any of the staff know about it they didn't even know until you did by reading the thread in the hxss forum. if you feel that hxhd staff have an advantage (which they don't) try using tactics in your team so you know you're going to win. none of the answers are in the staff area so its not an advantage in that way

it was aimed at everyone because hxss is for everyone.

It is an advantage, HxHD is one of the only departments allowed enter their own competition or event, they have an extra way to earn points whereas many others except events can't. I'm not saying it's easier for them to win at all as its random, I'm saying they can enter that but departments suh as graphics, hxl, news, forum cannot enter their own events. According to form it was upto you and rosy whether they could enter or not but it wasn't down to a department manager for the departments such as forum, hxl and news. I'm not arguing just giving my point of view.

I am sure there is no cheating going on however they are just some possibilities of what could happen.

Graphics - Obvious some of the best designers are on the team so that would be unfair.

Events - If it is an event like Falling Furniture and Costume Change then yes, possible however I believe when I was in events, the management tended to discourage them events and I believe Costume Change is banned anyway unless it came back now. Events like Pod Racing for example, I see no cheating there unless you 'rig' the dices but come on - rigging is so 1960.

Competitions - It isn't like you are seeing the lottery numbers the day before, is it? If it is a fixed answer, it is usually done by a random generator anyway. If it is the most creative one then cheating could be done however I believe you need to tell the manager who the winner is unless that has changed and I am sure if management find something strange (like the same winner for your competitions every week) then they could obviously take action.

Habbox Help Desk - There could be communication however I fail to see how that is a problem because their best friend could be a normal member so they could cheat that way so I fail to see how the whole team should be restricted from the quiz because it isn't like they see the answers before anyway.

Habbox Live - Basically similar to competitions, fixed answers are basically done with a random number generator so I doubt there would be issues there and same with the Habbox Help Desk SNQ, their best friend could be a normal member who can enter - what is to stop them cheating?

News - Why bother as it is the same as everyone else.

They need to trust the HxHD staff. Remember when i posted a thread about rigging at the Habbox Olympics and notsoserious. said that he trusted the events staff enough to ensure the didn't rig. Surely the same should go for the HxHD staff?

Saying that Graham shouldn't that be said to all departments?
That trust must have been thin as I thought some did.

If they can't be trusted, why are they even staff?

they can be trusted, i trust my staff. it's other people who don't trust us.

Yeah i agree but i've only heard of the hxhd not being allowed enter snq because thats the only members of staff who have mentioned it or that i've payed attention too
