Many changes needed

[Grig]

Could be argued that it's a good thing that the AGM structure changes with each team / as Habbox's needs change.

You could then argue whether the change is good nor not. Which is what I'm arguing in the sense that it's not .

People are complaining, and I've read most of the previous comments on this thread and I do agree with them, but not many ideas are being given to step up the departments.

Events (mainly now with Habboxween) is hosting a lot, and EO's are doing their jobs.

The Help Desk has been loosing staff, but there is almost always someone behind the desk, again is there isn't, the problem is the Time Zone and I do think some departments should do like HxL and open applications for each time zone.

HxL DJs need to enjoy their job a bit more, indeed, because what I see a lot is users complaining that the DJs don't seem tor ead their requests, and I understand that if one DJ doesn't have that song then they can't put it, but they could download the song as their show is going on and try to put it on air when they have it. Also I've seen one DJ just saying that he didn't care if the listeners didn't like the songs he was playing as he did so that was all it mattered. I think this is one of the worse things a DJ can say, as he won't be a DJ if he doesn't have listeners.

Rare Values I think need to hurry a bit about checking the prices of furniture. For example now with Habboween, the furniture is going up and down and up and down, and even if some other non-staff people report it, they change it but just ignore and don't even check again. So yeah, I think they should go around shops and check the marketplace more.

The Department that I think has the biggest problems is News. We have so little staff and people don't care to join because they feel (and are right) that no one will read their reports. I enjoy being in News, but it is really sad to know that people just ignore my articles and just read it on the forum. One thing I suggested about this was that as soon as a member found out about new badges/furniture or whatever, they'd need to warn a News Staff and give them minimum two hours before posting it on the forum. Also other Habbox users should take a look at them and comment. Staff should give the first example and care about other Departments.

Other departments also have their problems but as I'm not exactly aware of what they are to be able to mention them, I'm just going to stop here.

Be careful or someone will close this thread!

I disagree. I don't think Habbox has any business in what people say on other websites as long as it isn't directly related to the name Habbox and traceable back to the name. At the end of the day, this is a fansite for an online game.

Discussing specific cases is the fastest way to get this thread closed...if you really want to discuss the general principle of off-Habbox interactions being used in firing then stick to a principle-based argument. Technically staff-discipline decisions rely very little on public input, unless one of their arguments appeals to a member of general management, but specific staff-discipline issues are not subject to member input unless submitted directly to a member of General Management (and even then, minimally so).

If you just want to talk about Ross's dismissal then at least do it in another thread so that you don't get this one shut.

Obviously I'm citing policies that I've known to be true, feel free to correct me if the policy has changed.

If you want to discuss the unfair dismissals can you talk in general and not in specific cases as nvrspk has said.

Just touching upon news. Your suggestion was a bit silly because why should they? News reporters are expected to go out there, research and come back with the topic. There were feeds of unreleased rares even done for this, but no-one seems to keep track anymore. There was a possibility to build reputation like Pukehsldbdjshf (however you spell it), but it simply wasn't done. Unless it broke, then I'm mistaken.

Real life news returned, which I was against and also a lot of the time the articles are written in a more dreary way. There were some great reporters writing, I'm not sure if any are left (Alex for example). There were possibilities of integration with the forum, but that's very complicated. Sure, news has tons of things it can do differently, but at the end of the day it's up to whoever manages it and everyone has different visions.

It's sort of like you want this thread closed... No-one has mentioned a specific name yet in this thread yet you go straight ahead and say it...

Urgh, staff discipline on a fansite. Be human and just have a word, no-one is paid and if they've done a decent job then more reason to sort it out.

Depends on the demand really, but for all it's worth there is probably no reason to create a current affairs "real news" section. If anything you could have a feed that picks up BBC News, Sky, CNN etc., but nothing more.

He was talking about a number of other posts that was in this thread. You seem to have missed it as it happened late last night/early morning but they were recently removed by a Super Moderator so yeah that is why it doesn't match up.

Is it not still inviting people to talk about his dismissal? I didn't know the reasons why but from that post you get a really good idea what the main reason was
