Would you like SNQ to be replaced?

Fair point. Well if @Wispur; is OK with it then I will sort something out ASAP.

Sounds good to me, give it a go.

Graphics isn't an events department either but their success under Drew came with increased community involvement. As the help side of hxhd becomes more and more redundant it needs to shift its main focus and snq is one of its main features - if people aren't hosting, put it in their monthly targets in their reports.

Questions take an hour at the absolute maximum to write and there are all manner of resources available in the staff forums for those unable to think them up without guidance. Perhaps reorganise/rewrite guides so that staff are more at ease when it comes to writing questions and hosting the quiz.

I never said HxHD shouldn't host events, I said it shouldn't be forced. Also SNQ was in a lot of targets (pretty much everyone excluding those who cannot host).

For years now, people have suggested having another quiz on a weekday, a non-bst time etc. and nothing has ever really come about from it. Understandable people do work, but it's had hosts for that time slot for years now, so it must be ok for most of them. I would go with other people and have 2 quizzes or another event that others that can't host SNQ could make, at least then it would be varied. Although, I think 7pm on a Saturday isn't too bad, if you go changing it though then you have the problem for those who can host at that time, but not the time it's changed to - understandably not everyone can be pleased and it can't fit for everyone, but I guess we don't know unless we try.

Also, @dbgtz; you shouldn't have to force your staff members if they want to work in the department - they should ideally want to do stuff and I know you said you do anyway, but instead of forcing suggests and recommend they do this or that.

I couldn't comment on the non-BST quiz since that was probably long before I was even HxHD staff I'm not sure what you're on about in the last point either.

Yeah I remember the idea for it, but the international side wasn't too big back then. However, it was only a few months ago that they needed to get an International Senior just because there were so many international staff, is this still high in numbers @dbgtz;? Perhaps, if it is then something could be done on that side too.

International staff numbers are fairly weak at the moment.

Sounds good to me, give it a go.

Fabulous

This is more of a question that doesn't relate to SNQ, but when Roxy was manager I seem to remember there being quite a large space dedicated to hosting events/competitions in a number of the Helpdesks. Would that be a complete waste of time bringing that back? I think she used to host events herself (just out of the blue) and it was nice coming into HxHD and joining in on an event already being hosted.

This might be totally pointless bringing this back as visitor numbers to the room are not as good as back then but I thought I'd ask.

Also does hosting SNQ go towards minimums?

Thought I replied to this already, not sure what happened there Anyway there's usually (and will be) an event area for HxSS and will probably be added a few weeks before.
SNQ does go towards minimum.
