Full Habbox feedback woo

[xxMATTGxx]

They are very different styles of writing and when I was content manager a lot of people left because they didn't want to do wiki stuff. Before I was content manager Zuth said he repeatedly asked to split them apart and now recently when I hear that Guides is now its own department I pleaded with Matt to move it to its own department. Still nothing.

Hold on a minute. I said in the end that we should open up applications aimed specifically at the different content, so .com content and Wiki content and compare applications if it mentioned that they didn't have to do any other types of content work. Then we can determine about splitting it up.

I can't see how Guides can be it's own department away from Content if Wiki isn't.

Guides is definitely the same as normal site content, wiki isn't.

Wanted to attract people who know Habbo and still play it on a daily basis and are willing to create the guides. Putting it together would probably put them off if they had to do other content work.

So does not putting wiki work with content put people off joining content?

Although I imagine content work on just Habbox.com is limited with V6

It does. Which is why Tom did this: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=781109 to see if it would bring any interest for Habbox.com content to see if anyone would apply and didn't have to do any Wiki work. At the moment that's got 0 applications. So it could be a number of other reasons why it has 0 applications. Here are a few examples:

A) They like Wiki more. B) Management Reasons C) Not a lot of people like the content work etc etc etc.

The reason why I didn't decide to spilt the department straight away when Will mentioned it the other day was because I don't want the mess of what occurred with News/Content again. So first look into the problems and see other solutions before splitting them for good.

Ahh, good to see that.

I wouldn't say people like the wiki more, I'd just say that people are less likely to apply for the content department. It's a lot of hard work, and generally, I'd say that the content department probably has the highest average age of all departments? (Unless management counts )

And trying to hire older staff is quite a toughy

I have no complaints on this front then, if applications are open, you can't say you didn't try

That is very true, it can be hard work and take up a lot of time as well. Especially if it's a long piece of content as well. We'll see how it goes either way.

Guides justifies having it owns forum because we have a tasks section and being mixed in with content just confuses everything. Guides section is cleaner and easier to see what needs to be done.

********, before the content merge the Wiki stuff had its own tasks section as a subforum.

Not one of the best reasons I've seen but fair enough. It got the correct people hired into the department but hey ho.

What I never understand with Habbox Staff is why they can't seem to be able to read thread titles?

If you have a thread title saying 'Badge UK025', I'm pretty sure that's a clear indication that it's a thread for guides staff. Not that it matters about staff sub-forums or anything, just that seems like a pretty lame excuse why the sections are separated. The reason that people want to do guides and not do wiki is good enough for me.

Yeah and im not saying that the wiki should have been merged either.

I'm not saying I don't want to do the Wiki, if doing the Wiki was part of being guides staff, i'd do it... I'm not fussy. If we got merged, I wouldn't complain either. I'm just saying that it's slightly easier having it's own forum and I don't see what issues it causes people, you can't see it? Like I said, it's just easier having a separate forum, but I have no doubt it will be merged at some point since all everyone does it moan about it
