counterproductive moderation.

[Grig]

do we still have an absence of moderation overnight? the threads that are currently being created as constructive discussion are beyond laughable.

I brought this point up a few months ago in some thread I think. But think management were like it's just bad luck, can't force international people to apply.

Sure, you can't force them, BUT you may consider opening moderator applications solely for those outside the UK. I think this will be a very smart move and can make the forum run more smoothly and even more active is timezones outside the UK aren't ignored.

There aren't really any mods on from about 2-7, I know brandon is on sometime during that though. Normally there isn't much activity on during the night so not a lot happens in regard to rule breaks and a spambot here and there. @Grig; I don't think we need to open apps just for people outside GMT because of the reasons above, not a lot happens and surely it would get boring for them?

nonono

i havent accepted it and moved on, I've just moved on cos you can't win against mods nowadays

Pointless = dsajfdagshdjas or LOLLLLLLL or THIS IS A POINTLESS POST

my post wasn't pointless

Can I ask one question first? Why are you throwing crap at Chris for something he actually hasn't done. I edited Stephens post, I explained my reasons, he has clearly accepted it and moved on. I don't like how you are saying we judge our actions on the person? If anyone wrote what Stephen wrote I would of edited it no matter what. His post did not positively contribute to the thread topic, therefore it broke the rules. This has always been the case, and always will unless we get told differently. In regards to your post, can you explain to me how your comment actually helps the thread starter with the question he gave you? Because I can't see how it helps. Naming someone who has insomnia and then just leaving the thread isn't really needed in a thread that wants advice. If you think differently I ask that you PM @scott; and @brandon; and not scream in a feedback thread.

ffs that was you who are clearly trying to better yourself. It wasn't pointless and so, why do we have to accept what a MOD said? And how do you know it's not going to contribute positively? He wasn't posting rubbish but I agree the followed comment was. It was meant to be a positive post if you MODs aren't taking it to another level. I know she was asking for advice but she obviously has this misconception about insomnia and all I'm saying is no, it's not insomnia. FGS. It's a discussion! Don't expect us all to give them straight answers and hence, keeping our mouth shut just in case some biased MOD come and tell us off! And I get that a lot. I guess that's how some MOD handles feedback. How professional..

I think it's still a good idea. Having an attitude saying "oh we're mostly UK so let's not bother". I think you can get people from outside the UK in if you have some staff presence in terms of moderation overnight . Plus ideally you want the forum to be monitored as much as possible. Those are just my opinions though, so we can agree to disagree.

I'm not targeting any members. Just an example of what is happening. As you can see, there are clearly two posts on the same page made by the thread starter. The time difference was just 3 freakin minutes and her favorite airlines etc. could be posted together when she starts the thread. Isn't it obvious that she's doing it for the post count? I'm not saying anything negative but this is one of the many problems the posting competition invites. She's not the first one who's been doing the same thing. I've noticed this in other threads as well. The tactics used to increase post count while our genuine posts which were made for a discussion are called pointless, I can definitely see where this goes!

You're being too picky there. You shouldn't moan here. He added the info he didn't in his initial post and I'm sure wasn't on purpose.

Judging on your previous few posts in feedback today, you were not only being rude, but picky too.

[Chris]

The final choice isn't yours, Chris, but you are one of the ones who helps influence the final decision. Don't play off your responsibilities - if it was all up to @scott then he would be on the forums all day long checking each thread himself and there would be no need for moderators. He is the manager, you are the staff and we are the customers. You are in the middle and it is 'your choice' to get the concerns back to the higher-ups who make final rulings. You clearly have an opinion that is on fire about this issue judging by your posts throughout the thread so perhaps you should put the debate to use and help Scott work the end result out.

Believe me I've raised it with Scott already and that is as much as I can do! I've asked him to consider changes etc but we have heard nothing on the situation since. It's beyond my control now, sorry.

IT'S NOT A POINTLESS POST! IT CAN BE VIEWED AS A QUESTION OUT OF CURIOSITY TO SOMEONE WHO FINDS PUTTING FRESH ORANGE JUICE ON HIS FACE WILL KEEP THEM AWAKE! IT IS ALL RELATED TO THE THREAD AND YET, YOU SAID IT'S POINTLESS? HOW COULD IT BE? DO YOU JUDGE POSTS BASED ON WHO POSTED IT INSTEAD OF WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANS? WELL, I RECKON IT WON'T BE CONSIDERED AS POINTLESS IF A STAFF POSTED IT THEN. IT'S SO BIASED! SAME GOES TO THIS POST! http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=742904 WHY IS IT POINTLESS? CHAIRMAN MAO IS FAMOUS FOR HIS INSOMNIA PROBLEMS AND I'M JUST MAKING A POINT OF WHAT INSOMNIA IS WITHOUT LENGTHY EXPLANATIONS LIKE THE ABOVE POSTS! I DON'T EXPECT EVERYONE TO KNOW WHO CHAIRMAN MAO IS BUT AT LEAST, USE YOUR COMMON SENSE TO KNOW THAT I'M POSTING FOR A REASON!

OH AND THERE WAS NO POINTLESS COMMENTS AFTER MY POST. SO WHY IS IT POINTLESS???!

I'll consider reading this when you learn to speak to me properly.

How many times does that happen stephen? You know it is not a regular thing. I'm not against the idea of having some international mods, I can just see them being empty handed every now and again. Besides they wouldn't be able to remove contentlike that if it wasn't in their forum?
