Guardian Hobba (modernized helper)

[Jarkie]

@Okeanos; I'm not here to start a flame war about a system that died out in 2008. we all have own opinions and so forth so I'm going to leave it here.

Anyhow back to the subject of this thread; does anyone have any updates?

interesting. i was a hobba on the old uk hotel and then went on to be a habbo eXpert on AU. i thought the community had grown to such a level that a system like this couldn't work. we'll see though.

Aye, only time will tell.

Yes it is rumoured that Paul will be unmuting the .COM once this system is implace.

Would be good to earn this via the habbo helper thing. I'd like to be a part of this!

I've spent a while reading all the replies to this thread, particularly the ones from my friends Jarkie, Alice, Tom, Laurensh, and some other 'news' on Twitter related to the guardians idea and I'm feeling quite positive overall.

So long as Habbo pick people who will actually devote a decent amount of their time and energy to the project, and people who won't simply use this opportunity for 'e-fame' it's got half a chance of improving the hotel. Finding such people is a very tricky business though and they are more than likely to pick a few people who will not be suitable at least at first. Critically what needs to happen this time is that ineffective 'guardians' need to be released from the system and new people brought in to replace them as quickly as possible. This was one of the key downfalls of the hobbas and eXperts. People who were pretty much doing nothing or no longer had the time to devote to the projects were kept on for far too long when there were motivated, able and willing people available to replace them. How they manage the first few batches of guardians will be make-or-break in my opinion.

If there's effective procedures for reporting guardian power misuse, a decent application/requirement system and strong staff leadership and general involvement, it could work well. I've got my fingers crossed.

I thought that was pretty obvious? Even though the name of this 'helper' rank has changed dramatically you were always going to have to work up to it. Although it's probably going to get abused by the time a lot of people have it.

I so agree with this. I really REALLY hope that they'll choose people based on how trustworthy they are.

he also added that you must rank up through reputation and get approved.. no applications, nothing. im guessing its the helpers rating system. if you have all thumbs up [however many you need] your account will be looked into. which is just *REMOVED* stupid.
