REPUTATION OR LIKE SYSTEM

[Mr-Trainor]

This thread has effectively achieved its aim, in finding out whether the majority want likes or reps.

To be fair, I wouldn't say 44 poll votes represents the majority of the 1,451 active members .

I'm trying to avoid the "it was unfair", "management just did what they wanted" - get some normal members to run the thought process which may help :L As there are differing opinions, it makes sense to try and meet somewhere in the middle (but obviously on the rep system, as that is the majority so far ). This thread has effectively achieved its aim, in finding out whether the majority want likes or reps.

Ultimately though, management are going to do what they want. In general, I actually think Habbox has suffered cos management have tried so hard to "meet in the middle" and keep everyone happy that it's stopped them from doing radical change. I'm not sure you're ever going to meet in the middle with this issue (if it's even an issue in the first place, seems rather trivial to me but hey ho). Unless I've misunderstood it but it's always seemed to me that the main argument for a like system was that it removes the rep system's hierarchal status. Even if people 'collect' likes and there's a system in place that recognises that, it is simple to +1 or -1 a post. Keeping the rep system is never going to achieve the facebook-like culture.

If users do not vote, that is their choice. I'm not sure 40% of the vote should really give a part the right to govern a country (or even less!), particularly when under 65% of the voters actually voted, but there we go.

Also, let's be honest there are not 1,451 active members on this forum - whatever the statistics claim

Ultimately, whoever is the manager at the time is needs to remember without happy users, this forum has nothing. By the way, why were you never so open when you were managing? I wish you were.

I'm sure he was this open wasn't he? Well he was very open in the staff forums .

Yeah the seeing who repped you is a problem, however, if it is possible to do it only with VIPS and management+ then it should be fine.

Because when you're a manager, you can be open about these things in skype conversations or staff forums where these things are being discussed. When you're not, you have to use feedback threads like everyone else!

I like managers who are open in public. Like Matt. Or Boris Johnson.

I've never been afraid to say what I think. Short-term, people might feel uncomfortable or not like it but long term, they respect you for it. However, there is a wisdom about knowing when/where to say something and when to back off. I've not always got it right but if I was in general management and I said in a public feedback thread all of matt's faults, surely your first thought would be 'what a ***, why isn't he talking with matt about this' rather than 'wow he's so open, he's like the habbox boris'

Great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jelly. Maybe I've just noticed your posts more since you resigned :L

Yes I want to keep it as it is. Like other has probably mentioned, it is nice to see other peoples comment when they +rep or -rep lol
