HabboxForum Reformal Plan Proposal

[RussianDanovar]

When we try to act as a fansite, people say "well companies do this, this and this." We can't win!

Giving firing reasons can cause more problems than solutions. For example, if someone is fired for immaturity/negative attitude, this can seem extremely trivial. The person being fired can start a thread in feedback, and because the firing reason seems trivial, the members will most likely back the person being fired. However, sometimes decisions like that have to be taken - a negative attitude doesn't make a for a nice "workplace" (or forum) and can demotivate people, which is extremely easy to do in a job where the only motivation is your willingness to do the job an your enjoyment. The members go off on their "habbox is corrupt" rants, MAD get's annoyed and hits the forum destruct button, the world eneds. Elementory chaos theory

That's exactly why we need explanations which are unbiased like yours, I would hire you do do them if I was management. When I was fired management weren't replying which makes it seem even more trivial. Speculation takes hold and you have two sides shouting & screaming at eachother like two Alf Garnetts'.

I meant you for president fool

Unless that it what you are saying is a punishment? :S :S :eusa_wall

Hmm well it could be Sorry for misunderstanding!

Edit: How long has Catszy been a forum mod?

About as long as it took to read your post. Well constructed

It's because Habbox tries to make itself seem like a corporation/company when it's that very way which makes it that little less enjoyable as it could be.

I am all for scrapping banning members for small things. When Thybag was very popular and someone was generally being a little beggar, I PM'd them and reasoned. Seemed to work well for me, not sure why Habbox take the lazy, anti-social way of banning when you can solve more problems with a friendly, down to earth message. Looking at the complaints forum and even the feedback forums, I see AGMs and Managers talking to people as if they are working in an office, earn £50k a year and aged 30+.

I actually agree that habbox has too much red tape, especially in the behind-the-scenes admin stuff, but for dealing with people the system in place is pretty... the word escapes me. Begins with S. Not a swear word. Good thing. Sorry, I'm too tired, pretty good will have to do

People who genuinely want to stay on the forum will take a hint when they are warned or see their posts with red writing all over them, its when they don't take a hint, get punished and kick up a fuss is when the system appears to have holes. Personally, I do tend to take the "lazy mans way" and put red writing on people's posts, but rarely use infractions or warnings in the hope they'll take the hint. If they do, problem solved. If not, they're clearly here to be a nuisance and should be removed.

Speculation is a part of life, makes it fun The sun would be out of business without it!

In all seriousness, if management posted threads to explain why people were fired, 90% of the time there will be people making threads saying "THIS ISNT RIGHT YADDA YADDA YADDA" which, to be frank, someone who has had to make an executive, and occasionally difficult, decision does not need. Decisions are decisions, whether they're for the good or not will be seen in the months following. If it turns out be a bad decision, so be it, its life, it happens.

Personally, I think they should hire me as AGM for all the bloody hard work I put into articles But I like my little group, and I can't take more many jobs tbh, hence me being comps manager for a full week

Compliment from Catszy?! I truly am honoured, you don't see many of them these days!

oh dear...how much time did you waste drawing this up? People have been moaning about reputation system and all the rest of it for ages, nothing will change :rolleyes:

Hey, instead of putting people down, why don't you just keep your one sided opinions to yourself if your against "negative opinions".

I'm not putting him down, I appreciate the time and effort spent on creating this idea, I just was stating it wont have an impact. Also maybe you should read back to yourself what you said to me as I think you need to take your own advice dear

[Thetan]

Well, its hypocritical to give a negative opinion, then support someone being banned for giving a negative opinion. If you had said it kinder, then maybe you would have recieved a much nicer reply. But instead you answered it all sarcastic and you told him he was wasting his time writing it. Im all for opinions, but not hypocrites.

...how much time did you waste drawing this up

[cunning]

I like some of the ideas.

[nvrspk4]

Sorry but I can't say I agree with this idea at all - because of the complications.

I learned the hard way that caveats, technicalities, voting, etc is very very very hard to run on a forum. The complexity and interwovenness makes the system crash. I learned that with the council. And no, its not because they weren't given enough power. The Council couldn't function simply because of the complexity and the technicalities. All these restrictions and stuff would not work. I'm not saying that just as an opinion to shoot it down, I've seen it firsthand.

There were reasons I had to make the council as complicated as I did, and I won't go into them as that's neither here nor there, but I can tell you that all the complications and technicalities definitely took away from the effectiveness of the council.
