Lack of new hobbas

[Joe118]

Its been like 10 months since the last hobba batch was released. Whats with this massive gap? We really need some new ones, calls for help responses are majorly slow from 5pm onwards and alot of mine are constantly getting missed.

Back when Becs was head hobba new hobbas were hired on an almost monthly basis and people could get quick reponses to their applications, some even made it from application to silver badge within 3-4 weeks.

I think its about time we got some new hobbas, yeah with alot of applications coming in its gona take a while between the batches but i think 10 months is just getting beyond a joke....

I do think that we need some new hobbas, as when you search some of their names they have not been online for quite awhile. I would have thought most hobbas would have been through college and starting to have a life

Just to tell you hobbas do not actually need to come to you to deal with a CFH they can do it remotley. This is why mostly you do not see a hobba, or they may have thought that no action is needed.

I know that, but in certains cases you can tell your calls aren't being answered because say you report someone for something that merits a ban (such as giving out their email address) and they are still online an hour afterwards then its obvious your call has not been dealt with.

Honestly, i THink THey're Lazy. They Ban For No Reason. Sortof like this forum *coughs at cautioned thingys*

Some Hobbas and Mods are just plain busy. There are over 100 CFHs that a Hobba or Mod are trying to look after. Some issues aren't as urgent as others. Some Habbos may be having glitches or need support. If you were to ever be a Hobba/Mod, you will find out that it is not just a walk in the park

The Habbo Staff may find that the hotel is doing just fine. Other hotels are MUCH worse in terms of breakers of the Habbo way. Hobbas/Mods also won't answer to your calls if you have been using the Call For Help too often.

Just give the Hobbas and Mods a break, they are the ones who are keeping our hotel safe. Just be patient. It may take time for Hobbas or Mods to get to your Call For Help.

Priorities usually goes something like this (1 being most urgent)

1. Scripters
2. Blockers (Usually high up during activities)
3. Asking for cam/messenger
4. Advertising sites that are against the Habbo Way
5. Scammers
6. Swearing/Avoiding filter (Depends on what they say)
7. Flooding


Hobbas may find other things as a lower priority.

Hobbas and Mods want to keep Habbo as age-friendly as possible.


If people breaking the Habbo way bothers you and hobbas/mods don't come, exit the room. If you are talking to friends, try and go into somewhere where you can monitor who is in the room.

You never quoted anyone so i'm presuming this is aimed at me...

I never questioned the amount of work current hobbas / mods are doing, i'm saying they should hire more to aid the current ones because they really are up against now. They've almost cut the hobba team in half in the last year yet very few have came in to take the places of those leaving.

Glitterkat just doesn't seem to like the work involved in hiring new hobbas because she leaves huge gaps between her batches of silvers.

I agree. Something strange is going on with Hobba applications at the moment. I applied 2 years ago, but never heard a thing back, and now my application is deleted, and if I try to apply again I get "sorry you don't pass the initial criteria...". I keep hearing the same 2 explanations for this:

1. Hobbas are going to be scrapped in favour of Habbo X (please god no) so they're not taking any more applications.
2. Hobba applications are "full".

I really hope GK starts going through applications and choosing more Hobbas soon. My aunt was checking out Habbo the other week because her kids use it and she ended up whining to my mum on the phone for ages because apparently the moderation is "appauling". Her kids are banned from using it now until she gets a response from the Habbo Help Tool about why the moderation is so bad and how they will improve it. Yeah, good luck actually getting a response out of that thing.
