VIP Editors

[-Eyeless-]

I think we should draw a line here and say YOU WILL NOT GET THE JOB IF YOU ASK

You have to be trusted and there isn't even a job to fill anyway so lets stop with the asking

Yeh he's right, Asking will get you nowhere unless you are very highly trusted.

Even if you were trusted you wouldn't just get the job by asking, it must be earned.

And it would cause confusion between them,

that one of the reasons.

Seems that more people would agree than the people that don't agree but I must admit that I voted for yes so call it a tie.

[Meanies]

Not read the whole thread.

There used to be 2 VIP editors, Nick and nvrspk4 (i think) but then it was reduced to one because having two people got confusing and jobs got overlapped, some being done twice and things like rep being doubled as a result.

I remember when me, Baving and Nvr used to all be VIP Managers. It gets confusing when there is more than one. Some of the stuff gets done twice and sometimes the other editor will have nout to do.

Maybe they should do it once a day between a certain time. That way people know when to expect their features and don't make threads moaning about it.

Ye its the main reason and like other people have said. Generally its twice as much work for both editors because they do someones VIP then to find out its already been done then they have go through and remove what they have just added etc. Its just alot easier for one person to do it, you may have to wait a little longer for it to get done but not much.

It has come to my attention that the VIP editors really don't do there job that often. Everytime I request something it always takes ages to come through. I am still waiting for rep points that I requested a week ago I think. I really think there needs to be more VIP editors that visit the forum daily meaning the "request your VIP features" thread can also be updated daily aswell.

I've been away for the last 3 days, some have to wait a little longer for their request due to myself wanting some sort of social life.

If this is related to your reputation requests; I can't add reputation if there isn't a subscription available on your account as proof that you're entitled to any reputation. As it stands there is only 1 subscription on your account that you purchased just under a week ago and you already have the reputation for that subscription as shown here: http://www.habboxforum.com/showpost....postcount=1959
Any further posts requesting reputation have got the same or a similar answer which is that there are no other subscriptions on your account, without a subscription I've got no way of telling whether you're entitled to anything. You've requested it three times so far and each time I can only assume that you haven't read the reason why the reputation has been added and came to the conclusion that I forgot to add it or ignored it.

It used to be updated daily, when I had the time and wasn't busy with work, unfortunately, since mid June things have stacked up and this has had to take a back seat. I can't add much to what previous posts have said, Barkseh's post explains it well and from previous experience too. Funny that the idea of a rota should be considered, I was considering it myself the other day, unfortunately it may become tricky if, for whatever reason, one of the VIP editors can't stick to the rota for that particular day leaving more work for the other VIP editor to pick up the slack and skew the rota slightly. Also, I'm off on holiday in a week so adding a rota wouldn't be that beneficial at the moment because I'm not sure I'll have access to and have the time to go on a computer every day.

I would Gladly do it but seriously maybe two or someone who comes on more often?

I bet alot of people would gladly take an administrative position.

I wouldn't mind doing it myself to be honest. I feel as if I need more jobs on hxf anyway. I hope I get the HxHD job .

Administration on a forum this size is alot different to "other" jobs, primarily because you always have something to do. It also takes quite along time to work upto admin, most start with Moderator.

All the wannabe admins ^^

:p

I guess lascend deserves the job

Suggestions never helped anyone when it comes for an admin role.

They won't just hand the job to anyone, they'd have to have experience and be trusted with those permissions. But I do agree there needs to be two maybe.

The first part is completely right there. It's like with all other websites - we gain a userbase of just under 1,000 unique (registered) members per day, so alot of trust is needed.

You have such an unattractive attitude.

The reason there is only one main VIP editor is because when there is more than one it gets very confusing and some jobs are missed out, some are done twice and the VIP editors just generally overlap and bump into each other when it comes to getting things done.

To say Nick- isn't doing his job efficiently is unfair, VIP editors have an awful lot to do, most of which is behind the scenes and you won't see. Nick- does it to the best of his ability (which is damn good) - He is one of the most helpful, hardworking and dedicated member of staff.

Quoted for the bold.

Correct. As I mentioned above, you work your way there.

Yeh he's right, Asking will get you nowhere unless you are very highly trusted.

However, it never hurt to ask, right?

Even if you were trusted you wouldn't just get the job by asking, it must be earned.

Not sure why I quoted you again, but yep.

As for the VIP editor, I reviewed it just last week to see how long it takes for jobs to be done. It's usually done that same day, or within 2 days. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Don't know how you worked that one out. Within the last week it has been done once. Within the past month it has been done every three days, except on 2 occasions when there was a 4 day gap and 2 occasions when there was a 2 day gap. Thats roughly twice a week.

If there were more than two VIP editors and they communicated effectively or set up a system, then it could work well. For example, marking posts which have been updated or warning the other VIP editor that they are about to update the features or change names incase they both do it at the same time.

I personally am not too bothered by it as I don't request VIP features that often.

Is there a way rep can automatically be added or users can change their VIP user title themselves?
