Rules for Staff Names

[Richie]

Yes, and none of your arguments made sense. They don't because it's a waste of time, advertising comes from other departments because that's how those departments are created. Community related departments have their interests on the community. Forum Staff look after the forum. It's kinda obvious. Why you think Forum Staff should be advertising is beyond rational thinking, when they lack the time to and have no interest in Habbo because, as other people have stated, it isn't their business. Once someone has joined, forum staff have the duty to look after that member, and the many other members that join before and after. Their job isn't to go and shout it and nor should it be. No other website does this :/

Every department have their own interests at heart. I'm pretty sure forum staff didn't take much interest in members or was the welcome committee brought in just for the laugh? Oh and when I applied for habboxlive it never said in the job description that I was expected to advertise other departments.



Because habboxLive want a flurry of listeners and advertising the forum is an added bonus at keeping those members. You act as though each department has it's own interests at heart, when actually they all work towards a Habbox Community goal. HabboxLive advertise themselves, Habbox and the Forum because it's their role as Radio Presenters. What do you expect them to do, just play music and make no reference to Habbox at all? It makes no sense... And you really want forum moderators to belittle themselves by flooding/spamming Habbo with "sign up to HabboxForum?" That'll be an incredibly boring and unnecessary task to undertake on a daily basis.

Fair enough, it gives the djs more to talk about, what pisses me off though, is I never see the forum team 'giving back' to any other department. I never said get the staff to spam, When oli was forum manager he went on habbo allot towards the end and tried to get people to sign up, other forum staff members helped. So why should their names be changed? Because habbo users will remember them, they'll get popular and draw in even more members.

No wonder staff have had problems All departments have Habbox's interests at heart, it's kinda common sense HabboxLive advertise HabboxLive, which is a giant advertisement for Habbox. HabboxLive advertise competitions and events, some of which incorporate the forum which is a useful tool for all departments as a source of community information and interaction. According to you, this is wrong. HabboxLive, to you, should never be affiliated with Habbox because Habbox does nothing to assist HabboxLive, even though the forum and the website are a source of listeners as well. This is where your argument makes no sense. Also, the forum staff do look after members, it's self-explanatory. They moderate the forum. What is a forum? A place where registered or unregistered members come together to discuss familiar topics with each other. The moderators make sure the forum discussions and members are kept in harmony (though recent problems may suggest otherwise). I'm amazed you think DJs don't have the time to advertise, when they don't really have to think to do it. If they shouldn't advertise the forum, you'd have a pretty boring a radio and a very selfish department.

You seem to be over-reacting, as this has never been a problem before :/ It shouldn't be just about the forum staff advertising, and if they did you'd get exactly as I stated = spamming. Where would they advertise? Going into rooms going "Join Habbox" is irritating, and the Help Desk already have workers there to advertise the community, that is of course they lack any passion for Habbox, which you suggests they should be like. The Help Desk already advertise, seeing as it's sort of their thing, to advertise the Habbox Community because a Help Desk is just one front for a community, and the forum binds this community into one place. Forum Staff do not need their names to be Habbo Names because it isn't necessary for their job, which is the main difference. Some may have their Habbo Name, and if they advertise then good for them, but seeing as they look after the community being built up by the other departments, I think it's pretty equal. Other departments are the front to Habbox. The Forum is where the Habbo Users meet the other Users which make up that community.

why has noone answered to the fact that on the right of our names there is a box indicating habbo names anyway.......

I think somebody did, silly!

Anyway, this isn't going to happen guys - sorry, it just doesn't make sense to make people use their Habbo names for a job which has nothing to do with Habbo.

Why fix something which isn't broken.

No I never said that. Habboxlive should advertise the forum, but it shouldn't be only down to the 'community departments'. I was trying to make the point that forum moderators names should be changed to their habbo names, so when they advertise on habbo (which as you even stated they don't do) people remember them. I'm not trying to be a ****, everyone should be doing their bit on habbo advertising habbo at the moment as it really needs it. So those few 'sitting behind the scenes' should help out in advertising. All the other departments strive to get their departments popular but the forum just relies on 'community departments' when they are a department and a community and should be part of the group.


Also, the forum staff do look after members, it's self-explanatory. They moderate the forum. What is a forum? A place where registered or unregistered members come together to discuss familiar topics with each other. The moderators make sure the forum discussions and members are kept in harmony (though recent problems may suggest otherwise).

You never answered my question, if the mods were doing such a fantastic job why was another department created to welcome new members?


I'm amazed you think DJs don't have the time to advertise, when they don't really have to think to do it. If they shouldn't advertise the forum, you'd have a pretty boring a radio and a very selfish department.

I agreed with you :S I was trying to make a point...


You seem to be over-reacting, as this has never been a problem before :/ It shouldn't be just about the forum staff advertising, and if they did you'd get exactly as I stated = spamming. Where would they advertise? Going into rooms going "Join Habbox" is irritating, and the Help Desk already have workers there to advertise the community, that is of course they lack any passion for Habbox, which you suggests they should be like. The Help Desk already edvertise, seeing as it's sort of their thing, to advertise the Habbox Community because a Help Desk is just one front for a community, and the forum binds this community into one place.

I'm pretty sure the help desk staff members are there to help people not advertise, I could be wrong, I just assumed because of the departments name :S


Forum Staff do not need their names to be Habbo Names because it isn't necessary for their job, which is the main difference.

It is necessary because they should be advertising their department.


Some may have their Habbo Name, and if they advertise then good for them, but seeing as they look after the community being built up by the other departments, I think it's pretty equal.

I don't agree that its equal at all but I suppose I brought the equality bit up which I shouldn't have because they should be all working together and using their initiative to get on habbo and advertise their department. Although I believe it should be a criteria.

I DID TWICE MAN. TWICE!

I was trying to make the point that forum moderators names should be changed to their habbo names, so when they advertise on habbo (which as you even stated they don't do) people remember them.

And you know they'll remember them because? I don't see members who have joined say "HotelUser recommended I join".

I'm not trying to be a ****, everyone should be doing their bit on habbo advertising habbo at the moment as it really needs it. So those few 'sitting behind the scenes' should help out in advertising. All the other departments strive to get their departments popular but the forum just relies on 'community departments' when they are a department and a community and should be part of the group.

Then comes the same question, how? The Habbox related rooms do most of the advertising, the the Radio staff do the rest. Forum Staff won't make any difference.


You never answered my question, if the mods were doing such a fantastic job why was another department created to welcome new members?
Your question was answered, you didn't ask me anything to do with the Welcome Committee, but I'll answer it for you - it got created for what is mentioned as "no real reason" and got removed because it didn't serve a purpose
I'm pretty sure the help desk staff members are there to help people not advertise, I could be wrong, I just assumed because of the departments name :S

They seem quite happy to do it The room itself is an advertisement, as are the stickies (if they still exist).

It is necessary because they should be advertising their department.

What, the moderators forum? The forum isn't just for the forum department, the forum is used by all departments. The forum is where the Habbox Community meet. It's not where the Forum Department meet, they just look after it. Their job is serve the Habbox Community, not the Habbo Community.


I don't agree that its equal at all but I suppose I brought the equality bit up which I shouldn't have because they should be all working together and using their initiative to get on habbo and advertise their department. Although I believe it should be a criteria.

But as many have mentioned, it's not their duty and their name changes won't make any difference. They probably do advertise, but their many purpose is to serve the Habbox Community, while the other departments serve both the Habbox and Habbo Community. Besides, the name changes aren't necessary seeing as it's been mentioned countless times that "Habbo Name" appears in post-view underneath a Moderator's name and any other members.

I always knew my argument would get no where, you were a forum manager, mattgarner was a forum manager. Its like talking to a brick wall.

This is about the time habbox went downhill, when forum managers who were made (a)gm's would not make a change to their department because they don't like it. Once again theres a large majority in this thread that would like to see a change, but its a no because YOU don't like it. I don't know why I bother.

Where is this majority? :S Have you discussed this with staff? So far they seem to not care seeing as they're advertisements for Habbox. Forum Staff do not need the extra work and I think Forum Moderators/Staff should be hired on the basis of how good they are at their job, not if they go on Habbo. A few tech mods probably don't want to use Habbo, even if part of the forum is based on Habbo. It's unfair and not necessary.
