Staff Posting Competition

[Triz]

Rosie, I do agree with you - but after being flamed constantly for this view in the past, you have to look at the other side of the coin.

If the staff members were paid - it should be forced. But they aren't - so as long as they are doing their jobs fine, I don't think forcing them to post is really fair.

That is fair enough, but we are asked to read and reply to the thread that states these "encouragements" in it. If we were/are unhappy about the posting requirements then we would just resign. I'm happy, 40 posts a week is not much.

So if you were not to post on a regular basis, and you kept not posting on a regular basis, would you lose your position?

If we miss our target once then we will recieve a first warning PM from Nicola, if we miss our target 2 weeks in a row then we will recieve an official warning.

God no, there's enough annoying posts as it is with this posting competition.

BANG. That is the problem. Do we really want people to have to resign (or get fired) for doing their jobs superbly, yet not posting? I think managers should be forced to post, or told to piss off to be honest - however, normal staff members who do a fantastic job should not be forced to resign, due to not posting 40 times a week.

Well I disagree. I could say I only want to 'moderate' but only doing that would mean that I was not interested in the community, I feel. If part of the duties, as mods have, is to post around the forum , then that would be beneficial to all. There is never a shortage of members applying for posts so take those who are interested in being part of the community & posting rather than just having people who don't. This is my personal opinion.

But if a staff member does a really good job, forcing them to post should not happen. I think they should post, but forcing a certain amount is the wrong way to go.

Personally i think if your moderating a thread/forum, it is relatively easy just to add a post at the end of a thread contributing to it, therefore the 40 posts a week minimum isnt actually a hard target to reach.

No because we are directed to that thread and are made aware of the posting requirements before I technically get the job.

I am referring more to DJs, RV staff etc etc. I think th rep idea should be introduced for these departments, but forcing them to do it is not fair for volunteers.

The ARVM has posted once since becoming ARVM - which was 12 days ago..

So are you saying that mods shouldn't either? The quota does not have to be large, probably less than the mods, but when I see some with maybe 2/3 posts who have been here quite a long time I wonder whether they are bothered about wanting to belong to the Habbox Community which is why we are all here, surely.

Of course - I think staff members should have to contribute to the community, but I don't believe firing them (assuming they are doing an exceptional job) is fair. However, if they are seen to literally not be posting at all they should not stay as staff, and certainly should not be made management.
