Thats a good idea, but for example, when I posted away, I posted in Events AND HabboxLive, but not competitions. Thats because I had already met my comps mins at the beginning of when I needed to post away. So I didn't need to post away for all 3 depts but for 2?

It depends how long you're away for, but I'm guessing it would be useful to post away in all departments anyway- purely so your manager in that department is aware that you're away. Since theres sometimes more to departments than hosting minimums etc, there may be activity threads, discussion threads, other little tasks which are required at short notice, and its just nice for them to know that you won't be around I guess etc.

But surely you would still need to be posted away as if people contacted you, they would be expecting a reply etc?

You can't post away from one specific department. If you're away from one then you're away from all.

Should be in the staff forum, with managers having mod powers on the thread. It'd make more sense!

Then why are there away threads in each of the staff subforums? Should just be one in the main staff subforum, right?

Easier to keep track of I guess?

It does seem to make more sense. I'll have a think to see if there's any reasons not to and make changes where necessary.

managers would probably miss the one in the main staff subforum. unless they're tagged in each 1 which isn't really gonna happen with everybody then it'll just be hidden away. at least when its posted in each individual forum the manager will see it.

Posting away/limited seems to just be people saying "I don't want to do this at the moment but don't let anyone else take my role". Minimums are tiny it's like 3 hours a week and anyone who's so overworked that they don't have that much time to do something that they supposedly enjoy doing is likely to be doing a double PhD rather than their year 9 SATs. If you're on an actual holiday fair enough those last a week or two and you obviously can't be online at all in those times, but the number of people who post themselves away and then are online all the time anyway is ridic

Staff roles maybe - but for manager roles surely all of them will require more than 3 hours; as RVM it'd take me 3 hours, if not more, to do weekly and monthly reviews alone. That'd be one of the four weeks in the month anyway (the other three not having monthly reviews). And then that's obviously on top of everything else.

If I was still manager I would absolutely hate having just one away thread for all staff - will be so much harder to keep track of who's away (well, if your department is small then maybe not). It also means you lose the ability to manage the thread for your department, e.g. once people weren't away/limited any more I'd remove their post from the away thread and just ultimately make it much easier to check who was away/limited at any given time .

There's nothing stopping a manager still having their own thread in their sub forum if they wish, but considering people are posting away for some departments and not others, it makes sense that all managers are able to see requests for away time etc. Maybe if Wispur creates a closed stickied thread in the general staff forum and just updates that himself?
