Should HxHD be scrapped and COMPLETELY turned into a lounge?

[Molly.22]

Even though not many people ask for help what if someone needs help and its just a lounge? Call it the habbox help lounge? Everyones happy.

[,Jess,]

In reality do you think someone is actually going to press shutup? From going on what we see in HxHD they're more likely to argue back, creating a bad reputation for Habbox and making new people to the room feel unwelcome.

People have to use the shutup button and report users breaking rules in every other room on Habbo and it works just fine. Other fansite rooms that are like lounges are very popular with a couple of room moderators and don't have arguments and swearing, I don't know why you and a few others think it would be chaos, like the Habbox community can't speak to each other without being rude :S. Actually people are more likely to try and cause problems and trouble if there are strict rules in place and if they're told what to do.

[leah]

Habbox cant control peoples behaviour, you telling someone to shut up isnt going to make them? They will continue just to annoy you. Kicking someone they will just come back to annoy you?
I was on an account recently got banned from the help desk for being "Racist" either yous dont know what the term means because i would have been banned from the hotel all together or you are just making that ban reason up.

When people are rude and get warned they generally behave, if they don't they get kicked, if they come back after this kick then they are generally better behaved, if they still remain to be abusive then they will be temp banned... that system works better than using the shut up button.
Atleast they aren't in the room and tarnishing the name of habbox if they're being banned or kicked.

well if you make it a lounge, i think there should be a help desk aswell, such as immenseman's rare values help desk, which is awaiting approval

Yeah his room is good but it only offers rare values guidance.

I think it would be better as a lounge =D

or if they use the shutup button (which is why the button is there and why the moderators tell you to use it..) Then they will realise no one cares and leave? :S
All the public rooms manage fine with Habbo moderators if there is a problem report it to the moderators, if they think they should be banned/warned then they will

[CHA!NGANG]

Public rooms manage fine yeah, but this is a guest room and will also be under habbox's name so it needs some moderation. You can't just rely on Habbo Moderators. You get people like skot who stand there and block, and then you often get other people who come in there, start swearing and being racist to cause problems.

Can I just ask, what exactly is wrong with the current System?
So staff went afk for a bit, is there anything else wrong?

[Richie]

Yeah i think some staff make up rules as they go along and it seems kind of like there trying to control some people (no offence) you know i like most of you at the helpdesk and i hope you can see were im coming from.

[HotelUser]

1 or 2 wouldnt do. Im thinking more like 6. Because people arent online or active all the time. Obviously people from different timezones, would allow it to be moderated round the clock.

Well the other thread is complaining about how staff are always AFK. So going by what that thread said we'll need more staff, because the current staff aren't always here. If there was only 6 staff there would be hardly anyone in.

Forgive me if i'm wrong, but that's what moderators are for? If people are misbehaving, they'll be dealt with?

UK mods are slow and terrible, and often don't look into situations as well as a user who is in the room all the time, and has seen the incident first hand.

If someone is harassing someone what are we going to do. Report the instigator 3 times and wait half an hour for them to get a 2 hour ban? They're just going to make a clone account and cause a mess again.

This is the internet, and a lot of teenagers we're talking about. The honor system does not work.

Sometimes we take screenshots of what the user did. If this was the case then if it was clear the user wasn't racist their ban would be lifted?

[timROGERS]

I would say personally that it should not be turned into a lounge. In my previous experience as an HxHD manager, I have found that there are still people who need help on a daily basis - if you're in there, you can always guarantee that someone will come in and need some help.

Even if you only help ten, or even just one or two people in a day, you have helped those people. It cannot be said that it is not a good thing. The help desk does not need to be scrapped at all...if you want to use it as a lounge, you by all means have the right to do this, and as far as I know, no one will stop you. And if they do, they shouldn't.

HxHD is valuable and historical service to Habbo as a whole. I beg that Habbox do not get rid of it.

Not everyone would use the shut up button.
Most would argue back creating absoulte chaos, MODs take ages to reply anyway and rarely take action.
