Habboxlive suggestion

[Chippiewill]

if they have just one manager running each department.

Depends on the department, I'm not convinced that content/graphics needs multiple managers, events/hxl/hxhd on the other hand definitely do. I think that allows for a greater degree of flexibility when it comes to staff feedback.

I don't know how events is managed, but if I were managing it then I'd want 1 in 2 or 3 events supervised by a senior member of staff for at least 20 minutes, they wouldn't be there to talk to the EO, they'd simply be sat taking some notes along the lines of: are they advertising the rest of habbox? are they engaging the players or just doing the event? are they constantly changing their event or do they slip into a routine? do they come across as putting any effort in? And I think the managers would then also be peer reviewed, and with good reason, because in all honesty @Bolt660; fails on all of those criteria himself.

And I'd do the exact same with HabboxLive as well, Is their mic quality up to scratch? Is the variance in songs good enough? If they focus heavy on a style or genre perhaps they should make a weekly show out of it? Are they engaging the listener? Asking the listener questions? Discussing current events, news, happenings on Habbo? Have they promoted the forum happy hour that starts at 6pm? If they're a 4/5pm right after school kind of show then why aren't they asking listeners to send in funny stories about their day? What's with the uhms and urrs, did they not prepare talking points? Does their filler simply consist of telling people why they can't play a certain song (This happens too damn often, just ignore the request)?

Stick this all in a thread for every member so they know what they did wrong and what they did right. A monthly report isn't enough.

Indeed, Adzeh never did reports until the end of his tenure, yet those days are long gone. Nowadays you need weekly reports for most departments and I believe all community departments need an Int. Manager and a UK one, and for radio 3 timezone managers. It seems Habbox is stuck in the past and much too afraid to change.

Because it is the worse department on Habbox. The majority of music is poor/old, at least half the DJ's sound like 10 year olds and I don't find any of the DJ's entertaining at all. There should be international radio managers so that it appeals to more people

Also the lack of events on habbo is one of many reasons why listeners are so low

It is by far the worst department in my opinion. Yes it might not be the same as before but it is not the worst department. Djs play variety of music which can be old and new music so we can`t judge on that.

As for international Radio Manager, well like I said I am not sure it is considered. I find the djs very entertaining and it depends the type of music you prefer and you can simply request songs that you want to hear then they will play it if it is appropriate to play on air.

Although for the events it would be beneficial to have more events going on and there is a few decent events going on. But events planning I wouldn`t know for sure as I am not in the events team.

At one stage as Content Manager I even endeavoured daily reports getting very specific on what people had done in individual bits of writing, it would have been great if I had persisted but it was a bit awkward trying to code V7 at the same time.

News went from weekly to monthly, which I strongly disagree with. If you know news well, you can evaluate well in a weekly report. It's the fact managers become lazy, make excuses such as "oh all the information is given in edit PMs", yet realistically, there are many things to talk about outside of feedback PMs and things like that.

Of course, for a manager daily is impossible, but I, even though hated it myself sometimes as I was extremely busy, would always advocate for weekly reports. They're great for people can get praise, whilst others can have some juicy constructive feedback.

I think this idea is being shot down too easily. It is definitely something fresh that we could do, once i return from my exams i'll definitely give it a go. Heck even with the webcam on so @sex; can get overexcited.
As far as HabboxLive goes, yeah we know that some of our DJs aren't exactly up to scratch but we just haven't had the time to get down to fixing that really. Both Jade and I have been away due to school for the last few weeks and we just haven't gotten around to it yet. We don't really get to be too picky about our trialists because if we were to do so then we simply wouldn't have any DJs left. Times have changed, we don't get nearly as many applications as we used to and as we'd like. Obviously due to it being summer we might get a few more now as people have more free time etc.
We will definitely try host more events, I know @Foregetfuhl; has been wagging her finger at some of the DJs who haven't been helping out as much as they are expected to so hopefully we will get more events going on soon. I started on working on a "Deal or no deal" room as that would be a fun event to host but that got put on hold due to my exams coming up, hopefully that will develop into a real thing soon enough.
As far as spam giveaways go we just don't have the funds for them, simple as that.
The thing about the HabboxLive.com layout is that, as far as I know, the site will be gone when version 7 is launched and in reality we don't even have a fully functional panel which we spend waaaaaaaaay too much time and effort maintaining.
I know that a lot of that may seem like an excuse but it really isn't. We are trying to keep HabboxLive alive and currently it's at the bottom of the parabola. But rest assured we are slowly and somewhat steadily resuscitating it. Bottom line - things will get better.

This is extremely silly. I feel like typing caps, but won't do so. DJs should NOT HAVE REQUESTS, BUT BE PREPARED TO HAVE VARIETY. OK, I did it anyway.

Head DJs should do events per month and if this was removed, I would not be happy. At least one event should be something big and unique, not like falling furni.

Isn't it habbox's 10 year birthday this year? Is there any special and good plans?

talking about weeklies in news I actually brought those back when I got manager Grig and they've been going on ever since
