Ambassadors have arrived!

[Drewar]

Ambassadors have arrived in the hotel, here to welcome and help the new generation of Habbos, as best they can!
Never heard of Ambassadors? Here's a Q&A to get you up to speed.

What do Ambassadors do?
Ambassadors are a group of experienced, mature Habbos who's main mission it is to welcome new users to the hotel and show them the Habbo ropes. They also make sure that public rooms are nice, safe places for everyone to hang out. Ambassadors may also help keep official game rooms blocker-free.

Who's currently on the Ambassadors team?

What sort of powers do Ambassadors have?
They have access to new-user-only lounges and can identify new users around the hotel for engagement purposes. They can also warn, kick or mute misbehaving Habbos in public rooms.

What's the difference between Master Ambassadors and Ambassadors?
Ambassadors are grouped in three teams according to the main time zones in the hotel. Master Ambassdors manage these teams as team leaders.

How did you pick Ambassadors? I don't remember seeing an application process.
Candidates were selected from those users who have been active Guardians over a number of months. We looked at their Guardian votes, their mute/ban history, their behaviour around the hotel and many other criteria.

Why did you only pick male Habbos? Are you not considering girl Habbos for this programme?
Of course we are! Any active Guardian, independent from their gender, is considered, as long as they fulfill the criteria we set out for this programme. Active Guardian pool is predominantly male, so on this occasion we ended up with only male Habbos, but that may very well change as and when the programme develops and expands.

10 Habbos only? Why are there so few Ambassadors?
The idea is to start out with a small team and then add to it as and when we feel that more helping hands are needed.
When do current Ambassadors finish? When do they get replaced?
This is an ongoing programme, meaning that there are no finish dates. If an ambassador becomes inactive or quits the programme, we may look into getting a replacement from the active Guardian pool.

Are Ambassadors the next step on the Helper/Guardian track?
No. We consider only full, active Guardians for the Ambassador programme, because the majority of these Habbos will have an interest in helping others and because we can track their activity. Nevertheless the Ambassador programme is entirely seperate from the Guardian track.

What's happening with TBD on the Guardian track then? You've been promising to sort that out this year.
We're sorry that this has been taking way longer then expected. We had a rethink and decided to overhaul the entire track, before something new can be introduced. We think this should all be done early in the new year.

Can I report hacking incidents and stuff like that to an Ambassador?
No. Ambassadors do not have access to chatlogs, like moderators do. If you want to appeal a ban or report a hacking incident, you still need to alert moderators or submit a ticket at help.habbo.com.

What if I see an Ambassador being inappropriate or I don't agree with their alert or mute? Can I report them?
Everyone in Habbo has to follow the Habbo Way. This includes Ambassadors. If you feel that an Ambassador is not playing by the rules, you may alert a Master Ambassador or submit a ticket at help.habbo.com for staff to look into the matter.
We hope you're just as excited about Ambassadors as we are and join us in wishing the team all the best for great start!

All males... Even fishier they decided to address this. But good luck? Even though I have no faith in the current guardians!

[:odey:]

Congrats.
I've never been interested in guardians or anything like that. But, sounds like a good idea.

I think that they decided to address it because it was brought up by one of the current Ambassadors after the list had been revealed to the Ambassadors / before the public launch today.

The staff probably figured that if one of 10 Habbos asked about it, there would probably be others.

It didn't even occur to me to check the gender, don't think it matters. Good luck guys!:p

Good Luck Drewar, although it's a bit fishy that someone who mentioned it in 2012 in the Council got the job lol.

[Bloop]

I am actually waiting to see if the ambass would go berserk and starts to kick without reason in events because that WILL happen
Drewar would b fab nw

Good Luck Drewar, although it's a bit fishy that someone who mentioned it in 2012 in the Council got the job lol.

Although I'm not sure who you are talking about... why is it fishy that someone who has obviously been rather involved in the community for several years now (according to you) was selected for the position?

I'm not familiar with the 2012 version of the council or the selection criteria... but I'm assuming that one of the criterion would be that you would have to be an active member of the Habbo community? Surely serving on a Habbo Council would be a good indicator of their commitment to making Habbo a better place (and therefore make them a better choice for an ambassador position, rather than a fishy/suspicious one).

Back then they were a kiss up, well a few were, but I think some of them have left now. I'm not disputing that they may help the community and be active - I just don't 100% believe that will be the only reason they got chosen if that makes sense? One of the people in the council did come up with an alternative way to the ambassador scheme though, which would have made it even more exclusive which I don't think would have worked.

It'll be interesting to see how it pans out though.

Good luck drew!! But yea I doubt you guys were selected through activity to the guardian tool. I know sean is all into his helpdesks and safety stuff but he hasn't barley been logged on habbo for at least a year lmao. What was your activity like Drew, didn't you only recently come back too?

Anyway I think moderating should be left to moderators. The guardian system is a fail and I've seen many being unfairly muted through it. These programmes will always end up with bias taking place.
