Habbox Merit

[buttons]

since when were you with 1 year+ no breaks?

Not only that, you don't get merit just for being a manager lol :S or there would be a lot more on that list, has to be something that's contributed to habbox as a whole

[David]

maybe not nothing, but the bare minimum. I've seen it. More than once.

seen it too

Since I was unofficially running the AGM Staff role during most of Sam's reign while puppets took the title because Jin didn't like me enough to let me actually get the credit for it

Regardless of that if we're gonna talk about how management roles work/worked then I've actually been owed a manager or assistant manager role ever since the Community department merged with the Moderation team as per the terms of its dissolution that were agreed


But yeah nice to know that people don't think I've done anything for Hx

Also I got the merit badge when it was actually awarded for merit, not for hanging on to a job for a while

Didn't someone say earlier that you deserve it? I can't judge much as I wasn't staff or that active when Sam was reigning.

I think you do deserve it (along with people such as @GommeInc, I was just saying that the wording needs to be rewritten as it makes it look like only people in a managerial role for longer than a year were awarded it

This just seems like one of those lists that is more trouble than it's worth...

This is what Garion had to say about @FlyingJesus; having habbox merit.

FlyingJesus was given the merit badge not for being staff for six months but because of his contributions to Habbox - his position on the Habbox Council, within the community department and his long term commitment to providing feedback in order to improve Habbox. Furthermore, during Sammeth's reign as General Manager, FlyingJesus regularly contributed to policy making discussions on Habbox policy. His contributions go above and beyond the requirements for Habbox Merit.

Seems like a solid reason.

Why has time got anything to do with it? Some people even now hold positions where they do next to nothing and keep those positions for a long time for god-knows-what-reason but some people might be in a department for 6 or 7 months and do so much. Like if @Foregetfuhl; was to quit tomorrow I'd give her the Merit award because IMO she has done more for that department than anyone else has in my time here.

I'm sure you were arguing the complete opposite during the hall of fame discussion...

[FlyingJesus]

omf I'm like a hero or something

[lawrawrrr]

I'm sure you were arguing the complete opposite during the hall of fame discussion...

I'm pretty sure I wasn't, I've had this argument time and time again with @xxMATTGxx; and always said the same thing. It's usually the case that people who have been here longer have given more to Habbox, but that's not the same as deserving a merit for doing outstanding​ work.

[-:Undertaker:-]

@-:Undertaker:-; - Was he not fired from his management role?

Although fired, it was later said by nvrspk that the decision to fire me was wrong on the basis that the allegations that were placed at my door by then-management were false - that is after all why half the department at the time walked with me.

And thats why I was rehired by nvrspk two years later.

I'm immensely pleased that i've been granted a Habbox Merit for the work i've done on here over the years along with being a part of the Habbox community both on Habbo and on the forum for a long time, and sure it's only a Habbo Forum but it's still nice that a bit of appreciation and thanks is shown at the end of it. I don't toot my own horn but I can justify the years of work i've done if need be.

Wait, he got rehired after the whole scandal there was? Nicely done Undertaker

Indeed, because it was admitted at the time by the then-General Manager that I was being fired not because there was any evidence that I had fiddled the values, but because the decision (which they [management] approved, specifically he himself) to change the status of the ione Gifts via a public vote had unseen consquences which caused the entire scandal. Then in later years the then-RVM (who i'm friends with) knew I hadn't done anything wrong along with the General Manager nvrspk - hence why I was rehired.

I always said at the time it was ironic I was being accused of fixing values, when if I truly wanted to fix any value i'd of fixed the Black Smoke Machine which I had many of - not the Throne, Holopod and Russian Samovar of which I only had one Samovar and purposely kept it until it went down to 1.5 CS again to prove a point.

Add on - in reading the recent part of the thread, I would grant the award to longer term members such as GommeInc who have contributed a lot in terms of community rather than purely managerial roles. I was going to make a thread on that actually a while back but had second thoughts in that it'd turn into a "I deserve x when y doesn't". Of course it's hard to decide what requirements are needed in some cases, but I think the fact Ryan has been a continuous member of the Habbox community for such a long time and has put in so much input means he's deserving.

I daresay there are a few other members who may fit the bill as well.
