Room voting to be scrapped?

[xxMATTGxx]

This makes me laugh - How hard is it to get a staff member or two to actually go on and visit these rooms?

I'm not sure where I stand on this subject; it seems to be the same few people who're complaining to him over Twitter about the competition.

Yes, there was a few rooms that were clearly not real entries in the top-ten. However a good few of them were actually created solely for that competition and they managed to get into the top ten, so in theory; you guys should be able to too.

The problem with having staff judge anything (other than it being rather time consuming), is that it usually ends up with the same selection of Habbos being put forward. There will be hundreds of entries and for staff members to go through each and everyone of them would not only be daunting, but boring. it easier to pick rooms you know are going to be designed well.

If you was the staff member, would you really want to spend time going through hundreds of rooms just to end up having the selection you knew you was going to have anyway?

going to end up blocked at this rate. i can imagine veins popping from his head right now. LMAO
and no appaz a staff member said that cheating for votes is part of the competition? ;/ nice to know staff are advocating scamming now.

W.t.f ?

ikr. It's not even like they have to go through so many. They would have to check like 20 rooms max

Thats because mostly good rooms entered for egypt. If you search savannah now, the entire navigator is full with teen party rooms, wired mazes and boost rooms. There is a hell of a lot more than there was for the egypt one. They don't have to go through hundreds. Just do the top 20 that got the most votes?

[MKR&*42]

Yeah I was just in the client and thought I'd look at all participants in the Savannah comp. It's ridiculous how many aren't Savannah related rooms at all :/

omg @Richie; LMAO I don't think he is going to take that well... HAHAHAH

And if the entirety of the top 20 is nothing but teen party rooms? Can you really exclude that many Habbos simply because they cheated with more popular rooms? It's not right that they entered under those circumstances, but that doesn't make it right to exclude them. They followed the rules of entry just like any other room.

Using Habbos to judge a Habbo competition isn't fair? Stray Pixels went alright.
