Sorry but I asked a person who works in the actual store? I said small parts, I didn't detail which parts they could change. They still get sent plans from whoever is above for the overall store layout. Just like Apple nearly have the same layout across their stores, that is because it has been set by management above any store manager or whatever they may have.

And I know a regional manager and a store manager in my village who gave me all this information for a business module I applied for on retail management and marketing The regional manager stated there are obvious, universal guidelines built upon the premise of expense, logistics and marketing. They know what layouts work best to sell to the consumer over years of marketing. However, the store manager guidelines state that store layout changes are permissable where demand is needed. So if there is a growing demand for clothing, then stores can place a small collection of clothing items. Most stores I know of seem to like moving around the area just infront of the entrace to the store, because it's usually quite a wide area using low amounts of shelving. It's quite interesting really, even though it bored the crap out of me at the time

You ignored the middle section where I responded to that. There is no contradiction. Ironically the reason he doesn't set permissions is because there is continuity and consistency. Other department managers can not set permissions for their department so he goes through the same process as them. You're taking a rather small part of the management process and assuming that they are not given the room/space to manage.

I'd be worried if your hierarchy was Forum Manager > News Manager. Usually it's Forum Manager > Forum Administrator/Super Moderator > Forum Moderator. Departments shouldn't merge together like you seem to be suggesting by this idea of a Manager Hierarchy, when a Department literally splits them. If your Managers are jealous of a Manager being giving permissions that live up to their role, then you should probably get them seen to.

Which is understandable. But in terms of permissions - It's a system that works, a system that doesn't actually fail and there is nothing wrong with the way it is done. It's not really something that the users are going to change either because really it's the manager(s) who it's going to affect the most and then it would be up to them to speak to us about it.

why does this matter, it's habbox not waitrose.

It was just an idea afterall, but it seems to be halting the duties of the Forum Manager. The mods have been chosen but he has to wait. It doesn't seem very streamline. It does work, but not as quickly as it could do, is the suggestion.

"Don't fix something that isn't broken".

I'm sure that's the exact mindset that Tim Berners-Lee used when he revolutionised the internet. It worked well, just not too well so he didn't bother. Oh wait..

Having every manager on habbox given admincp would just be stupid

Especially with 1 week managers in the past, and the fact that half the current managers if you were to ask, no-one would know who the hell they are

Why the **** are you talking about tesco...

[FlyingJesus]

am I the only one who had a massive giggle at this

Yup

Not every manager would need it as only the forum manager requires the ability to manage the forum. I have handily bolded the key word here. Not all staff have the same permissions as each other (graphics team don't have rights in HxHD, news writers don't have moderator powers etc) so there is literally no argument for not allowing managers to actually have the control that's necessary for the role - without it, there's no point even having them.

Yup

I think he does have the power, but to make it fair for all managers, he isn't allowed to use those powers.

Then it amounts to the same thing and is STUPID

the only problem i see with permission requests is that I remember @bethany; complaining about waiting weeks for some of her staffs to be sorted.

but if people are arguing that all managers should sort their own permissions then maybe user groups instead of permission groups would be better. just an idea though.
