HxL DJ while HxHD

[Expling]

???
People can talk and answer queries at the same time. There's no "everyone else" it's literally just DZ that is a helpdesk staff member and a DJ isn't it? When was this rule even put into place and why?

Not sure when it was put into place but sometime when @Absently; was manager. At the end of the day, when you're behind the desk then that should be your priority. If you're DJing then you might forget or just get distracted sorting your SAM out more than the desk; the rule is only there to prevent staff from slow replying and whatnot and I don't think it's a huge deal!

DJ's should be trying to interact with the community by doing other things than just sitting behind a desk anyway - Gina use to do competitions (and !!Undead!! I believe) which would get you going and you'd be able to win some small prizes, Why can't they just keep it separate? Do HxHD one hour, dj the next, then do another HxHD hour - I actually like the rule and it'd be sad to see it changed.

To those saying it'd keep HabboxLive on air, streaming would be a good option AND I'm sure there would be more than just DZ around who could hop on for a few hours and DJ .

someone pls see where i am coming from ;l

It's a stupid rule and shouldn't be in place, if a dj is caught continuously being afk for too long then follow the normal staff warning system.

Just another rule to discourage people from joining.

It's a rule that prevents people from doing things that good staff would not be doing in the first place and keeps the radio offline for longer than it needs to be. No real logic behind keeping it in place, just add to the staff policy that staff should be alert and if they find themselves unable to answer questions then to leave the desk.

This is a rule?! I did not know that. I always used to do other department work while behind the desk.... if you can do both, not be ignoring requests on HxL or not ignoring users in HxHD (which you'd get reminded about SEPARATELY) then why not?

Keep this in mind though as we've dicussed staff rules recently and it's on my todo list

woo go @lawrawrr;

three rrrs? @lawrawrrr;

just calling you buttmunch from now on anyway

I understand where you're coming from but just because you can do both, it doesn't mean everyone else can! Most DJs also talk every 10 minutes or so which would mean you'd be going to the back seats every 10 minutes which would just be rather awkward...

doesnt stop someone who doesnt dj going to the back seats every ten minutes tho. i think alot of people know who it is aswell

I was told way back that I couldn't DJ behind the desk while doing my hours for HxHD. Everything went very well and I don't see why not but as mentioned, not every dj can multitask I guess and yes there is only 1 dj atm who is a hxhd staff so don't know what they will do about this rule. I do see the point from others here as well. Although I might of missed the part in the hxhd handbook where this rule is being in action.. because I am pretty sure it is not in the handbook unless I skipped that section of the handbook.

If most DJs can be playing events while on air and not cause too much trouble I don't see why a helpdesk staff member couldn't be on air while simultaneously handling all the non-existent questions from the public...

It's in the handbook.

non-existent questions from the public...

lots of questions are asked every day

I believe the rule was but in place so that you can focus on one and only one department at a time. It limits the "oops I forgot" like to speak, or to go on the back chairs and then afk. Yknow. That sort of thing. Or you give one department 25% of your attention and the other 75%.

Exactly. I'd have to say I agree with Kelly on this. It just causes lots of reminders, warnings, slow replying, a****, not answering in general, putting one focus on one department and then the next, getting lost in what you're doing.
