Kyle ran a giveaway for me today, I asked random people doing giveaways to link to my room, which they were kind enough to do, I pestered the life out of everyone on my friend list, and on here. My only saving grace was that they released the quests a day early and I was able to keep my room at full capacity for about eight hours. (stayed up all night omg) Never entering one of those comps again. It was more hard work than it was worth lmao. Thanks to everyone who voted, or spent hours trying to get me votes. LY
    Thats ok Red, out of all the rooms that are in the Top ten, you're room should of been in first place. And indeed I agree, when I was trying for the Egyptian comp, it was so hard, and I barely slept just to gain votes. Thankfully I entered it when it really wasn't overrun by boosting rooms, etc. And aye, I wont be even trying to enter till this is fixed.

    All that is needed is a smidgen of staff interaction.

THEY HAVENT WON BEFORE WITH THE EXACT SAME ROOM.
    For someone who is meant to be head of such a huge company, he acts quite babyish, I know some users that message him are youngish, but most are normally aged 16-21 that message him. What he doesn't see if that we the PLAYERS are trying to report a system broken. Perhaps if they got proper testers or something, all this could be avoided.. even the 'new' walls had glitches.

    About your Patrol thing, that would of worked so well.. (Maybe!) or even a selected few users to go and see all the rooms. He also moaned about that the staff he has will take up to '25%' of their time checking rooms.. its like LOL what, they still get paid just to visit rooms.. how hard is that?!?

How difficult is it to see that a mix of both is necessary, or at least some appropriate moderation of entries?
    Sulake staff wont ever know, no matter how many times they do a competition. Perhaps if they hired people who have played it before, things could be different? Who knows.

    Here are a few more where Paul apparently "hates" room competitions. Don't know why it's so difficult for them to quickly review entries... there can't be that many. All they have to do is scan them and make sure they actually have Savanna furniture in them and aren't just boosting rooms or the White House (cough Financier cough).




    Paul seems pretty anti-room comps...
    Haha wow, why is it when people arent like.. 'WE LOVE YOU PAUL xoxox', he gets all stressy. all he has to do is get his team of coders to fix it.

    Quote Originally Posted by karter View Post

    anyways, the staff-judged competitions are not returning, not under paul lafo at least. he is not ready to employ people to choose competition winners. so either room competitions are not coming back or it will be a more complex set up probably, but it will be voting based that is for sure. (or they will give the responsibility to fansites, which is even worse imo)


    All he has to do is get some volunteers that play Habbo, i know loads of people who would do it. lol.

    Paul was an ignorant **** in council too, some things never change. It has to suit him. Don't say it's only those who didn't wib or those who pines for votes as I don't really care about the competition but if you're not going to have the interaction bring the hotel manager back WHICH WAS SAID as I remember the news article about it.

    You can tell Paul's getting very fed up with the childish 'omg go to hell you suck' comments... it's not difficult to be mature. I completely agree with @Abdicators; in this thread - yeah, it's unfair, but because too many kids throw their toys out of the pram, Paul's getting fed up and has completely taken it to extreme.

    Is he replying to DMs any more? I might send him a nicely worded one.

    I'm not going to attack the guy over changing his avatar haha. It takes like 5 mins... or idk how you do it on Twitter but it's something simple and not really causing a huge loss of time :L I think some of the words being used are slightly over-exaggerated. (It's a virtual game, "Tragic" is a bit far ? no?) but I would say it is a very unfair, flawed and un-moderated system. I think it was foolish to simply say "scrap this system" considering it is a decent system IF a) Staff moderated it and b) if people couldn't vote via characters on the same ID. Him saying it doesn't cater for a wide enough audience is the biggest load of crap I have EVER read. It appears as a pop up when you go into rooms on Habbo, it is all over twitter, all over fansites, on the damn hotel view... how does it not cater for people when all you require is 3 different furniture items in a suitably themed room (Doesnt have to be humongous...).

    Brilliant. Discarding a system because it's from 2001 apparently? Ok let's wave goodbye to moderators. We dont need them cause they're from 2001!!!! and lets just discard any form of staff event, thats from 2001 as well omg omg. The man is an idiot at times, saying that because a system is from 2001 it is flawed. It was never broke so there was no need to "fix" it. The only minor issue with staff judging competitions was that... I believe it was you karter pointed out that in 2 competitions, they had copied and pasted the first bunch of winners into the second bunch and then added 50 more.

    I highly doubt he was on Habbo in 2001 so he really shouldn't comment like that.

    and



    Some of you sicken me really. The only people who think he is in a position to lose his job are the ones attacking him. Sulake was in real financial trouble before Paul even started, and before the Channel 4 report hit they were doing great. Paul had started to make them a huge profit.

    The Channel Four report has had no impact on Pauls standing as CEO, because these problems were around long before he out-sourced moderation. Infact, if you read the media every journalist under the sun is impressed with the action he took, and his active communication with you guys on twitter. How many of you before Paul, had actually talked to any CEO and had any impact on a product making millions of pounds each year?

    Cut him some slack, some of you are acting like children.
    We wanted more badges? Did we? :S. As far as I'm concerned most of us were annoyed at how common badges became thus removing the point of them really because so many had them.

    Tighter moderation - really? A limited chat is not moderation, it is a filtering system and nothing to do with moderation. Moderation is down to staff members and it has not improved at all. If anything it's got worse due to this silly Safety Patrol system which is causing hundreds of false bans;

    "Touch my magic wand" incident :rolleyes:

    Yes I'm not really sure why people have started complaining about games lol. Very hypocritical of them considering they begged for games such as BBall, SS, Wobble Squabble, Lido Diving and another one I forgot back. I agree with you there haha.

    As for his introduction on the guardian system, I don't even know what's happening with it? Is it the stage called "Habbo Helper"... if so then that's just ludicrous. No age limit at all, no requirements. Don't get me wrong it's a brilliant idea to bring it back but there needs to be a lot more limits on who can enter into the system. Unless it's the next stage after Safety Patrol? If so then it's still insane because all people are doing is reporting which does not require a great deal of effort lol.

    Nice idea, he's going about it the wrong way though.

    I agree about the LTD Rares. Although I believe they went a bit hyped up over them to start with, they were a very good introduction. Much better than shoving an item in the catalogue for 25c which will drop to about 10c after it's removed lol . LTD Rares is a very good idea and if it wasn't for the AU/SG only having the time benefit twice, it would have been brilliant.

    The problem with compensation is that once you offer VIP, a unique subscription service, to everyone it no longer becomes majorly important because almost everyone is VIP and therefore VIP becomes 'the norm' (ironically haha!). The trophy and badges were decent looking, but not tradeable and badges are far too common. I don't see why it's such a big issue to hand out assorted tradeable items to people so that the value isn't insanely low because more than 1 type of item is being released, and people can actually trade it/do stuff with it. ione did it way back in... hmm 2001/2002? not sure, so I don't see the issue. Sure the community is larger but that reduced dramatically during the time of the mute.

    Ideally, when Paul became the CEO he *should* have noticed that moderation was an important issue and immediately act upon it, not make it 10 x worse by having them outsourced.

    The points I didn't cover in your quote I also agree with haha . I do think it's pathetic that so many kids are trolling him on Twitter and having to resort to curse words because their vocabulary is so limited Unfortunately you can't stop trolling and it really is a shame people continuously do it to those "well known" (inc. Paul).

    To whoever negative repped my above post with the reason "sup suckup" and for all those that are thinking the same. Know this.

    There is a grand difference between sucking up to some one, and having respect for some one in their position. He is in a highly paid job, doing something very few CEOs actually do; conversing with active users of his product and making decisions based solely on their input.

    i'd rather be called a suck-up for defending some one I hold respect for, than be like who ever negative repped me because i'm angry that a decision didn't go my way. I'm man enough to say 'Well, perhaps what happened was better for the other three hundred or so million users'
    Quite simply, that doesn't make you a suck-up @The person who gave you -rep.

    1 week VIP and a trophy which by the way everyone has is not a nice compensation for a whole month of mute


    A highly inefficient moderation which resulted in hundreds of unfair bans.



    Yes, along with unfair timings for Australian/SG Habbos and wrong release timings


    I personally think his decisions have improved after the channel 4 incident, before that he seemed really arrogant. It's nice to see that he listened to people and the new competition set up is getting removed.
    He is sort of listening more, although he does seem to be making snap decisions about the room voting comp thingys. Also agree with all the other points you made.

    I agree with the timing of the limited rares, it was a good idea that was executed poorly. Its hard to do something like that though when there is such a huge difference in time zones.

    On your other points though. Look at it from a business angle, 5 days of vip (which you can buy on http://habbo.com/credits ) is worth $1. In total across the hotel, that's at least $50,000 (assuming 50,000 users logged on across the mute) worth of subscription they gave away for free. And, on top of that they gave existing VIP users a full extra month. Habbo VIP is 25c, and 25c costs $5. So even if we say only 20,000 VIP users logged in across the mute period, that's another $100,000 subscription they have given away for free. That is alot of money.

    To say hundreds of unjustified bans is probably an over exaggeration, there was a few; but there is in any service. Habbo isn't a product targeted at audiences of 18+ users who are happy to share their personal details. Habbo is targetted at young users who need to be protected, not only because alot of them are easily led, but because it's the law. If you're being banned by automod you just need to be more careful with your words.
    The ban issue is due to SOME Safety Patrol people (and just normal imbeciles tbh) false reporting people when they've done nothing wrong. People are getting banned for literally sitting down and not speaking, or otherwise being caught out by wired messages. It's extremely unfair and it does show moderation hasn't improved, whereas customer support has minorly and the replies are an awful lot quicker at customer support than a few months ago.

    Only issue that gets dealt every single time with moderators is retro hotels. When I used to sit and talk to people in the welcome lounge, so many people came in advertising them and bloody flooding the screen so I just kept reporting the fools and the issue was always dealt with.

    He is so rude though it is unbelievable. He took competitions from us, saying pathetic comments like 'statistics show users want credits more than competitions.' Yes he brought them back, but in a half-hearted form. He was too lazy to even add one staff member to check the rooms were ok that won for this one. Instead he has a hissy fit and threatens to remove competitions again. He won't give us that staff interaction which we all desire. People want badges but I like badges that only a few people get. When all you have to go to a room, they become worthless and stupid. Great that he give us compensation, but we shouldn't have even been muted for that long. I want moderation and customer service who can string a sentence together. How is it right, that we are left to deal with the likes of Katharina. They are still outsourced to bloody costa rica or wherever they are based now. They have now gone from slack, to too heavy handed and the amount of unfair bans is unbelievable. Never wanted hobbas and I'm still opposed to them. Looks like a cheap alternative to getting proper trained staff in. The rares were good when they just did a few. They went overboard though and just killed them. As for games, the only ones I cared about was snowstorm and battle ball. They added a user voice forum and said they were going to update ss, which they haven't. Its crap in its current form. Where is making games with your friends etc? All the features, people actually care about aren't even in the new game.


    Paul has done nothing to earn the respect for users. He replies to dms of fierycold and other 'famous' habbos, while the rest of us had to lump our bans with the AWFUL customer support we had. He ignores any negative feedback from his long term users and if he doesn't like something, you are blocked. Yes, he communicates with us there, but at the cost of any interaction on the hotel. I'd have that over twitter anyday.

    I don't play Habbo anymore, and have only visited recently in light of everything that's been going on in terms of the mute and so on.

    Whilst I don't really understand how things such as the competitions work on the hotel anymore since I haven't really played since 2008 and it is very clear that people aren't happy with the way things are done anymore.

    I'm not directly blaming Paul, but it seems since he took over from the "original" Sulake guys, it has gone down hill by bringing in his changes. And I can understand some of them such as the mergers, but practically bringing a somewhat automated service into practice isn't probably the best thing to do.

    It's obvious that the way the hotel is currently being run isn't working compared to how it was before, I can't understand why someone would want to take away things that were working before and replace them in an attempt to make it better? such as the moderation, whilst some would argue there has always been an issue with some moderation.

    Although I'm sure many would agree back when the moderators would actually communicate with other Habbos it had more of a personal feel to them and it worked a lot better than it does now.

    For example some moderators even run fansites, since the outsourcing all of that and more has been removed. There's no real connection between the players and the staff anymore besides the whole social networking stuff they seem to be doing at the moment - which is a shambles.

    Why change something when it worked perfectly well before, and I don't mean the hotel updates itself because that's always happened in Habbo but I mean with the way it's run the way things take place.

    This is an outstanding comment, red. I agree with pretty much everything you've said here. Rep+!
