Oh right, sorry - didn't read your sentence correctly. It comes back round to my problem that I posted above:
It's quite a tricky one, but I'm all ears for suggestions.Originally Posted by RemelKiid
In terms of getting DJs on air, it's a tricky one. We can't force people to go on air but if they're not doing their minimums then they will receive warnings and eventually get dismissed. In terms of motivation to book slots we do have a department-wide DJ points scheme where you receive points for booking slots, hosting events etc which can then be redeemed at the end of the month for rewards such as forum vip / rep and credits.
I'm not sure what more we can do in terms of motivating DJs to get on the radio. Does anyone have any suggestions?

did you just reply to your own post lol
but i agree, need better djs. i only tune in for a few of them because they deliver a high standard
I know one of my priorities when I first joined news management was to boost the number of articles, I really couldn't tell you how I did it. I think your problem MIGHT be that I'm going to assume your points means that DJs receive forum prizes - VIP and rep, etc but many of them don't actually use the forum so it's not a real incentive. That's not your fault, and noone can expect you to give out credits all the time, of course not, but it does make it very difficult. There are a lot of empty slots, how about raising the minimum?
to be fair i never listen to habboxlive anymore
when bethie was asst i'd listen a little but now its just yeh :/
Jess always toyed with the idea of raising the minimum but it would place a large number of our current DJs in a position where they'd not be able to reach the minimum and would therefore have to resign in order to avoid being fired. I recently raised the pre-booked slots to two slots a week which should hopefully mean that the timetable should be a bit busier throughout the week rather than DJs randomly booking slots (which is fine but not very organized).I know one of my priorities when I first joined news management was to boost the number of articles, I really couldn't tell you how I did it.

If your not going to make any changes, then the dept is just going to fall. Better making a radical change and hoping for the best than leaving it to sink
I think the minimum is fine. You should make it clear to your presenters that three slots a week minimum doesn't mean they can just stream three hours and get away with it because that's what the majority do. It should be three actual shows. If you look at the timetable atm you'll notice that a good five or six staff members are the only people who have pre-booked slots and even at that a lot of them just stream so the listeners will obviously be low. People are somehow dodging the net.

I could change the minimum to 4 hours a week but that'd probably mean half the department needs to resign which means that the radio would be offline even more that it already is.

Only 2 a week? People can't give more than 2 hours a week?Jess always toyed with the idea of raising the minimum but it would place a large number of our current DJs in a position where they'd not be able to reach the minimum and would therefore have to resign in order to avoid being fired.

EDIT: I mean, obviously they can go OVER the minimum but you only expect them to give 2 hours per?!?!?
