Room voting to be scrapped?

[Red]

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.

Whats the point of having a comp to design a room, if its just going to be the top ten popular rooms winning? If they were supposed to build a savannah, savannah rooms should win :S And hopefully in the future if they know a staff member would select winners, they won't bother entering.

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

Because good entries were selected beforehand? We don't have that with the room comps.

That's easily solved surely? They can't be bothered to go on Habbo therefore they could use their Facebook, their competition email or their Twitter to post an image of their room with the room ID to ensure that it's truthful then they can just choose that way. However, they could change that to a voting method - the participants enter their room they send the ID and screenie to the Habbo competitions email, the staff then post them on Facebook like Stray Pixels without the room ID (to ensure you can't just go see the owner and vote out of pure popularity) and then they can vote?!

Seriously I doubt Paul even knew what Habbo was like in 2001 so he needs to get his act together.

yeah well we didn't have to go around rooms did we? we'd see the furniture or whatever and pick it.

comparing this to straypixels is stupid. :rolleyes:

he wants technology to do everything for him. he thinks that he shouldnt have to move, he thinks the staff shouldnt have to come online when something can be automatic to save them the time and hassle. someone needs to invent a game like habbo to show the sulake employees how things are supposed to be run.

The earlier versions of stray pixels were judged by a group of habbos chosen for their obvious skill in the area, lead by a habbo staff member, also experienced with graphics. I don't see why this can't be the case for the newer comps. Assign one, perhaps two, staff members to lead a group of experienced habbos (who would obviously need detach themselves from their friends somehow) to help go through the rooms.

They don't have to vote the rooms, just vet them and remove those that don't deserve to be there. Public voting is good but only when it's legitimate. (fake) giveaways should be outlawed and if anybody tries to cheat to their room should be removed from the competition. If paul wants more entries then maybe he shouldn't FORCE people to buy the new furni in order to enter the comp...

As already stated, the newer stray pixels is a global comp meaning 1. more people enter, 2. more people vote, and 3. the top three are more heavily vetted.

My suggestion would be to keep the current format, only allow one vote per habbo ID, get one staff member to remove boost rooms or teen parties or those that have just dropped a few savannah items in a room and leave it at that for now. Hopefully something more thorough will be implemented for later comps, I'd hate to see this type of comp be removed again.

There's a loop hole about buying the furni. Put it in someone's group room then pick it uo they can enter comp. The amount of rooms I've seen without anything in thoigh or any of key things.

I really have like zero respect for Paul right now. His vision for habbo is just :-l It isn't what no one else wants and he doesn't accept any feedback he does not agree with.
