Full Habbox feedback woo

I got called Hitler by a department manager recently.

Aw michael, I think Stalin would be better but I dunno. Only kidding x You don't seem that "hitleresque" ?

Oh I should've quoted Chippiewill's post lol. It was a reference to the implication that we don't hold departments accountable for their work.

Think Stalin would be Chippiewill with V7 as his Five Year Plan...

To be honest, you could be just doing wonders and I'd have no clue, but if you are as involved as you imply you are then it just further points out the need for the content departments to have their own AGM. The department merge really did seem like a scream for some greater oversight and collaboration but frankly shoving each of the departments into their own sub-forum and pretending they're one department was not the right way to go about it.

As it was me who suggested the idea Matt posted earlier, I would agree for the need for a content AGM. I do not personally think it really needs a new person for it and it would be better to use what we have firing on all cylinders now that the staff AGM job has been diluted down to its role pre-Nixt (which I should probably clarify does not mean that I think Myke is bad at his job, he is doing what his job requires him to do and doing it well). I agree that the department merge could've been handled better but I do not think the blame solely lies with general management (although yes if we were to do it again, there are things we would do differently so we do have to take responsibility for that).

Why don't we just get all Upper management, along with Department Managers and Assistants, and just do Habbox Apprentice, and fire them one by one.

Would clearly resolve everything.

Who would be Alan Sugar though? Jin?


I'm liking the idea about a content AGM. For me the balance worked best when there were three AGMs under the GM. I know perhaps these days there is less need for a staff AGM, but back then I guess it was more of a doninant role since the staff AGM would also look over the forum, and also had more responsibility over more staff rulebreaks, since these days super-mods can deal with the bulk of staff rulebreaks. The staff AGM would also organise staff events and bonding to boost morale, deal with issues with bullying and arguing with staff, which these days I've noticed department managers have a lot more responsibility for than they did previously. So as people have said, this role has basically slipped into a "Perms Editor" kind of role.

I'm not entirely sure what discussion at AGM level is like these days, but I know back in 2011 we would have regular meetings, discuss stuff on a regular basis and because we all had departments we were responsible for it ensured that each department was given the appropriate care and attention. For example I would overlook events, comps, Habboxlive, and helpdesk (and possibly rv at one point), Oli (or whoever was agm staff) would look after the forum, and the content agm would look after graphics, content and news etc. We'd do reports for those departments, have regular discussions with the managers of those departments and generally just oversee our section and feed back to each other/the GM so everyone was in the loop.

I think a content AGM would be extremely beneficial, especially with ensuring that the site is kept up to date and that jobs are being done to a high standard and that departments are working together and managers communicating and doing whats best for the community. With the site perhaps needing a bit of love and attention it does seem like a good time to have someone overseeing all this. I do like Mike's idea of perhaps Myke switching to this role and then all of general management doing perms (although I do worry that Mike will blow up the admin panel, or accidently give everyone super mod perms where they can see boobies and what not in the unnacceptables forum. Joking aside though I do feel it could work good. Communication is key, working as a team and sharing and working on ideas together and taking feedback and putting it into action. If we are going to be serious about advertising our sites, then we want them to be the best they can be and contain lots of user interactive content and things which make them want to stay.

I'm announcing my coup d'etat effective immediately. All those who would flock to my banner report in by 21:00 hours.

This is my solution. In all seriousness, for the things that seem most promising discussions, might it not be best to spin off threads?

That's why I described it as doing minimums, Myke is doing his job and doing it well, but the staff AGM always used to do more. Love him or hate him, Hecktix was heavily involved around the forum and the community as the staff AGM.
