The "Official" Help Desk

[karter]

The room builders were supposed to build room not assist in help desks??

Yea you didn't see it cause you were afk, and I am sure telling him the job process hasn't been explained yet and to pop back in later would of been fine. I believe any community manager should support fan sites. Their popularity was better years ago but then fansites had hotel alerts and their events schedule was published etc. I think some of those things should return. Jason used to send the emails with snippets. Not sure if those are even being sent out anymore? But even powertoo said she reads habboxforum, as do many of the staff, so I do think they relaise how imp fansites are to habbo. However more needs to be done.

I agree

Not sure I like the idea of an "official" room being owned by a regular Habbo user. That user has the ability and right to close, lock, re-design and permanently remove people from that room (again, as is their right) despite it being there for help. It also makes the user look like they have some form of official role in the hotel, which could be used to abuse and trick younger Habbos.

I am also not sure that I am happy with members of the "help team". There have been Habbos around much longer, that have done nothing but offer help to new Habbos in their own help desk. Members of this help team I have never witnessed working in a help desk, and infact. I know at least two of them to be Terms of Service breakers using third party applications to alter and modify the hotel.

hey Dom im alwaysy helping habbos out have ddone for years

if this becomes an official helpdesk for habbo, then i think there won't be much help going on due to everyone being there. i feel that it's going to become WL #2.

I don't like the room anyway. Too much wood...

Okay, so now there is an "official" help desk, endorsed by Habbo staff, which is owned by the average Joe.

Seriously?

There isn't the need for a Habbo run help desk, when there are perfectly good ones around, such as the HxHD. It is quite likely that most of the people who will be operating this new help desk will have been the people who just spend time around power too and won't have as much experience as the people who have been around for a long time - As Abdicators quite rightly pointed out earlier.

As for the idea of the Habbos selected as room builders being the ones to man the help desk is absurd. If anything, the people who should be at the help desk is those who have become Guardians, or people have owned/worked in help desks previously and have actually earned it and will have experience.

It is a shame that this could empty out help desks all over Habbo, if people start flocking to the "official" one and treat it like a Public Space (maybe a secondary Welcome Lounge) - I sincerely hope this is not the case.

I did not see one question, it is not a big deal. And even if I did see it, I would not have been able to answer it because nobody has told me how one becomes a helper in the desk.

Why should powertoo support fansites? Hardly anybody uses fansites anymore.

I couldn't agree less with this statement. I spend far more time on here than I do on Habbo itself - In fact, I haven't actually logged onto Habbo for about a month now.

You want to know why?

It is because I actually prefer Habbox to Habbo itself. This forum, free from forced radical change, provides an excellent medium for discussions and lively debate with like-minded people.

That room looks quite nice tbh, dno if this help desk will be able to cope with all the people who could flood in though tbh.

That is exactly my point. Habbo fansites are not habbo fansites anymore, those that are left are teen forums, some of the members use habbo but most don't (the hffm forum habbo section for example is deserted). Gone are the days when active habbos used fansites, that is why they are no longer relevant and why I believe staff would be mistaken to involve them in the community again.

I really don't get the room? So apparently it's made by Michaels yet near enough every site that isn't affiliated by Sulake has that as their welcome room? Oh but... wait for it, I know it's 'free to use' but look what Rakker made in October 2012 http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=762433. So a cheapened library illusion? Makes sense.

What do you mean about them having it as their welcome room?
