some habboxlive complaints/issues/concerns

[Gina]

I can guarantee that if any old DJ could host events, more than half would be an absolute shamble. If this was to go ahead, would this mean that this would get added to the job description?:
"Get to host events as you please when they're free, helping to gain less staff for the events team and not having any minimums for events to be hosted whatsoever!"

I disagree that it'd encourage DJs to join the department. They'd rather host events for habbox whenever rather than have a minimum and a big set of rules. This might not go for all the DJs, but I know that it would for a lot.

I see no problem seeing events being hosted by head DJs and their managers, but it should be completely different from regular events while following the same rules.

If any old DJ was allowed to host events, you may as well merge the two departments. Which is a big no, in my opinion.

sorry hi wasnt ignoring your reply or anything :p yeh i see your point about having any old djs do events and whatnot ;p but even just having heads/seniors/management doing events would be an improvement as you'll have more events on the timetable etc but idk anyway i dont think it'd be that awful lol not all djs would host events anyway
i dont get how that 'helps gain less staff for the events team' either and tbeh its not like people are rushing trying their best to get into the events dept atm surely it would encourage people to join the event dept if they're enjoying it? obv there will be some who'll want to just host whenever and stuff but idk
if not i do like this idea though

like obv if regular djs can't host events its something at least
but there are over 50 hxl djs and im sure they're all capable of hosting events

If there was an events area, would HabboxLive DJs be allowed to host in there? (Providing there were HxHD staff in there if rights were needed.) Maybe this could be something tested with Head DJs & Despect first?

I know @zebbadi; has a small thing planned to put in the other half of the Help Desk. If that were to go ahead maybe we could have a few DJs using it as well as HxHD staff? @Despect; @Yuxin; @Samanfa;

oh i do love this idea thoug haha i think it was for the hollywood events time thingy roxy (i think) did it and had that section for people in hxhd hosting events and was great
obviously you cant do many events now though without people being able to drop their own furni like the most common one would be bingo because it didnt need wired and just dice games in general like you'll only really be able to do ones like nta, ft, etc because even with pod racing or something it would require a hxhd there at all times to move the pods and like odnt roll a 6 you need the dice to be moved and so on

I think Sammy's got 4-player tug of war type thing in mind so it wouldn't be too difficult for HxL DJs to host. I think it's going to need rights but I'd be more than happy to sit there and move furni for the DJs, and I'm sure some other HxHD staff wouldn't mind either

I agree with a lot being said in this post @lemons; I do believe that even if someone does have a lisp or stutter it maybe "annoying" or "aggravating" however that's the person they're... I'm not saying you should accept it and move on, I'm just trying to say at the end of the day the world is full of people and many have this!

I know how annoying it is for you guys when you're tuned in hearing a DJ speak every 30 seconds on air, this is why Senior and Head DJs are there to help motivate and improve the quality of the DJ they have within their team. Even though we are hear to help them, maybe even the listeners could get in contact with the correct Head DJ, if they feel that what they are listening too is
of a poor standard, this doesn't mean to say you report everything as were already hear to do this. But, if you listen to a DJ regularly and make a few bullet points on them on what you feel they could improve then I'm sure the Head DJ will definitely take it in to consideration and report and feedback it to the DJ it's implied to.

Requests and shoutout's are a big issue with some DJs, many of the reasons is that the DJ isn't interested in the listeners S&R's and they want to play their own music; I would say at least 3/4 of all the DJs at HabboxLive do read their shoutout's and request's. This is a growing problem within HxL and does need to be addressed maybe @Despect; could implement a system of cautions to stop the incline of declining listeners due to S&R's not being played.

I know that most of you are very bored and tired of the same old questions being given on the radio as competition questions!
Therefore, I am thinking of making a page that has quiz links, which DJs can go to for ideas and help them pick unique questions not related to Habbo(x), this being said some DJs wont be using this system and will carry on with their competitions related to Habbo(x) which I apologize for in the future.
Following this, I know DJs can make a uproar when they say they're going to do a competition and leave it until the last 15 minutes of their slot, this is also a major issue that many DJs have as they're not willing to depart with their furni and credits etc.
This is also a reason why many DJs say they want a certain amount of listeners which I do believe is wrong! The people tuned into the radio deserve something for being tuned in no matter how many people there are, this unfortunately wont change within HxL as most of you are aware HxL isn't the biggest among all the fansite radios to be tuned into (unless there is a major event).
In addition, I do know a lot of you are bored of the same prizes e.g. Credit's and Furni this is why myself and a few other DJs give away forum VIP like I did the other day @zebbadi; still need to know which colour you would like for your two months VIP). I know it's not possible for every DJ to give away VIP as I know they don't have it themselves, this is why I may speak to @Despect; and ask if he could speak to general management @Samanfa; @lawrawrrr; @xxMATTGxx; @Wispur; to see if they will be willing to help the HxL department in funding VIP for DJs to use as competitions (reasonable amounts must be considered).

I do know where a lot of you are coming from and I do hope that you take up some of the points I've made.
At the end of the day HabboxLive wont be able to change unless it has straight to the point feedback like this from the community who want to see it improve, changed or modified! Feedback like this is critical to any department and does help a lot when coming to make the correct decision for a department and the people within it.
Keep making threads with the important aspects of anything you want to see changed within departments as otherwise, they can't change if you don't tell them!

To lighten the mood lets look at a picture of an owl:

yeh think that'd be fab then as long as staff are there and willing to move furni etc haha

Matt's said time and time again that managers can ask for funds

im pretty sure hxl has asked for fundings before anyway as said in the events thread i don't think we're low on funding at all though :dance: @Despect;

[Reality]

I know; I don't this the manager is wanting to ask for the required prize as they're "not that type of person", this may seem vague, but I think it's true and I don't think managers, except greedy competitions with their VIP, ask for it because it's "immoral" to ask for something they should be doing for their department.
I do think that a few managers should be made more aware they're allowed to do this. Therefore, increasing the prize span for what can be given away @Despect; @Shonly; @Yupt;

To be honest I think it's more a case of pride, DJs would feel guilty asking or something although most people would be happy to help.

And you can guess the greedy ones who join the department and 2 minutes later ask for gold bard when they haven't even booked yet

I love the idea of giving prize alternatives, like tokens & things, and I suggested a while ago an "exchange" system, where if you're offered a prize of, say, 10c, you can ask for a week's VIP or 100 tokens instead for example!

I do think this would be a good idea, like what the competition department does in regards to their prizes!

[Inseriousity.]

I think he's talking about forum VIP which is even weirder. Managers can request VIP any time so long as they don't take the piss which generally managers can be trusted to make sensible choices with regards to prizes.

I like Charlie's idea of doing prizes in that way (first page I think). Seems to be a win-win for both parties, they still get to say '50 listeners for a gold bar' but people still get a competition and the host will be able to inform people of what that range can be (at their discretion and what they can afford). In fact it's such a good idea, I'd personally ban people using the '50 listeners for gb' thing and say if they are going to do that they need to use this system of doing it, see how much it drops then when they realise they need to put their money where their mouth is.

As for events, I believe when I was AGM, the rule was that they are able to host a small-scale event anytime if it was radio-related (small giveaways, win a room etc) but if they wanted to host something bigger, they should really book it in advance so that it doesn't clash and can be advertised. I agree with Lewis' point about the originality. As it's not the department's job to host events this means they have more flexibility to be more inventive when they do. I disagree with Lewis when he says you'd need to merge them. If a DJ is DJing and there isn't an event on, I'd rather there was somewhere for these people to go to. Then again, DJing is really laggy so I'm not sure how DJs would be able to host and DJ at the same time anyway.
