HxHD changed into a lounge?

[Becca]

Hffm fansite room looks a lot like a help desk to me the only difference is the name and the rules...

there's no rules so no-one wants to make trouble?

Agreed here. The reason there is so many disruptions is because people retaliate to being warned.
If there were less rules, people would be able to say what they like and hence sort out arguments between them. It only gets heated because staff step in and try to sort it.. :rolleyes:

the lounge is so good though at hffm, i've been there for a bit. everyone gets along and it's just funny instead of annoying.

Let's face it though, even if you do relax the rules a bit, it still won't cut it.

For example, me, I go to the help desk to break the rules because it gives me something to do.

In HFFM Lounge, I have no rules to break. Everyone gets along and no arguments are kicked up. It surprises me how HFFM Lounge runs so smoothly without rules? And, now David will most likely say that HxHD has a bigger history but it won't make a difference.

If you let the e-rebels get into their own little fights, go ahead.

I think they should scrap the HxHD rules and just abide by the Habbo Way, just empthasize that you should follow the Habbo Way. A mod will do something. They aren't paid to sit around all day (I got banned earlier for being sexually explicit so I know that they actually do, do their jobs).

HxHD is not being scrapped, because at the end of the day we are successful.

Having no moderation at all lets things like this go on. And after about five minutes of listening to some of the more..erm..colourful users in the room the population sliced itself into a third and the room dwindled down.

We will enforce the Habbo Way.

We will also enforce common sense.

I quite agree with Immenseman's post here (save for what he said concerning Calvin. If he knew Calvin I somewhat doubt he'd of been so quick to pull the trigger).

As long as it's made to feel more relaxed and loungey I'm not too bothered. I just think some things there, such as the tougher rules don't make it feel like a lounge at all. Also I still think staff should step up their game in terms of not A****, and actually maybe promoting it. I already said my idea that staff should get points for the completion of various tasks such as a point for every person they help and a point for everyone they refer there etc. Every job requires that, it's not easy to moderate, not easy to do a planned radio show, not easy to do a structured quality news article. Some think that sitting there at times not saying anything take some effort, hopefully there could be more done for this to happen.

Sure, some of the staff do this and that's great, but some are not. I still think a system like that would be effective and would even create motivation. Well, at least this is what I'd do in your shoes!

I don't care if the desk stays, however David really needs to sort out some of his staff, loads of them including a few super staff I have never seen behind the desk helping users. The role of staff members on the forum & habbo needs to be relaxed, lets be honest the super staff are here to try to fault errors. They lurk through the forums trying to find posts that may be offensive, same applys with the staff on habbo, they look to fault people on anything they can.

I think the rules should always apply, however if a post / a person on habbo says something rude to someone they shouldn't be warned unless the person they are being rude to complains. 'Maybe they are scared to speak up and ask staff to tell the rude member to stop' - If anyone has a problem they can easily send David a pm likewise with the forum.

Following a chat with a member of General Management I have changed my view on this and I believe the problem is not that it's a Help Desk rather than a lounge but it is another problem, however I'm pretty sure all these problems will be under hand, as we have a very capable team of General Management.

HxHD should stay whilst it is still popular, should that stance change then perhaps it should change then, however for now this should be put to one side and the real issues should be focused on.

Problem solved with the rules being thought over...

Should be made into a lounge and yeah like Dean said, should be like the welcome lounge. Yeah loads of people come into HxHD but on the rare occasion theres that one noob that comes for a question. So personally I think HxHD should have 2 levels, the main level should be a lounge, then the 2nd level a help desk? :/
