Lack of events?

[Inseriousity.]

I never said it wasn't management's job to do that. Naturally, management can't just rely on feedback threads to point out problems. They identify and put things in place to deal with problems. However, if someone is to make a feedback thread, I don't think it's wrong to call them out when they identify a problem but don't give any ideas themselves.

I think this is where things are going wrong. The latter evidently isn't happening, at least in terms of there actually being events. This problem was highlighted ages ago, and yet there has apparently been no fix?

This section is Feedback - whilst it is good to give ideas (which Intersocial has, heh), people are more than entitled to say "I really think the events department needs to do more events", without supplying the department with ideas - that isn't their job.

Another 2 hosts gone...

When lol

Cos they're also human and not everything they try is going to work. They can't just wave a magic wand, say bippity boppity boo and then there's a full calendar of events. Lack of events isn't a recent problem. When I was AGM, the number of events were quite high and quantity-wise, the department was often reaching 15+ a day. The issue then (and I'm sure could be argued now) was quality.

They are entitled to say that just as I am entitled to question them further and see if they actually have any of their own ideas to fix the problem. Don't really need to have a job to show some common courtesy and give management something they can work with beyond pointing out problems they're already aware of.

I do understand that haha. It's insanely popular and can get a room full rather quickly, but the people who play are usually the type of people "you wouldn't want to hang around with" to say the least.

Many many many ideas have been thrown their way over the past few months, and nothing at all has been done. If you want common courtesy in these matters then start with not accusing people of making baseless attacks when they've been constantly giving advice and been ignored for it. As you say it's not a new issue, and yet nothing whatsoever has been done other than Martin apologising lots and Alex telling us not to be mean to him - when he responds to these threads at all

I also remember before when I was actually in the department and constantly told managers + seniors about people repeating similar events within like 12 hours that I ended up getting ignored in the end. I know eventually one of the seniors pretty much just told me to "shut up" and "stop moaning" because that solves every problem events has ever had by completely ignoring the issue and hoping it'll go away cause 1 staff stops complaining.

Also has AT LEAST 50 user made/wired games on it so ideas cannot be scarce it's just general laziness if there isn't variety. I could probably add a tonne more to the list as well in my spare time.

My roller squabble events were always popular and had decent prizes at the time like petal patches, DJ decks, coin sacks etc. I won an event the other day which wasn't particularly hard and could chose between something like a pod or 5 rep points. It felt like my time and effort in the room was totally pointless and I don't think I even got my prize!

Lack of events isn't really an old issue, you misunderstood what I said there. It was certainly not an issue when I resigned. It's not a baseless attack, it took for me to ask before any ideas about how to improve the lack of events - which was the particular issue raised in this thread - was given. As you've said previously, it is the role of management to decide which ideas given to them are worth trying and which are to be discarded. Just because they have not used every idea given to them doesn't mean they haven't used any at all. It is clear that the ideas they did use have not yet manifested in any visible benefits so they'll keep trying. They should use this thread to highlight the course of action they are taking as their efforts are not being communicated properly.

Here is what I would recommend btw:

- A scaling minimum. 7 for management, 5 for seniors, 3 for staff (it's currently 3 for everyone). I think if the department is struggling to get a good quantity of events then the general management should also lead from the front and get involved too.
- Create an events room for hosts to use
- Graham's idea about popular Habbos/hayden's idea about small-scale events hosts
- More weekly events
