Many changes needed

[Inseriousity.]

It's not v7, it's something else that I don't really want to go into detail about right now cos they still need fine-tuning but as far as I know, it's something fansites don't really do.

As for the posting thing, I do not agree that moderators need to be posting 40 a week. As I've explained before, the whole point of a forum is that people post when they want to in the threads they want to post in. If there was a requirement, wouldn't you just be wondering if the only reason I posted in a thread was because I had to? I wouldn't really want that from any staff member regardless of rank. Instead, I believe moderators + management need to be creating the environment/atmosphere/spirit/whatever you want to call it that encourages people to post rather than forces them to. Whether the forum is successful at this is up for debate but as it's being described as a return to the --MAD-- era and this thread was seemingly moved, I'm going to suggest that there is still a lot of work left to be done.

The reason I brought moderator posting statistics back is because I think it's important for us to be involved more with the community. I have said to them that posts in any section will count towards it except for the staff forums so it really isn't difficult to make 6 posts a day. If you feel you are forcing yourself to post then whats the point in using the forum? It would look terrible if none of the moderators made posts when it's their job to look after the forum.

As for this thread being moved, I was expecting it to be something else which was a private issue that shouldn't have been put in the public forums.

I don't feel like I'm forcing myself to post that's the point. I would be forced if someone forced a quota per week on me.
So you moved a thread before you'd even read what it was about? Seems a backwards way to do moderation!

Well seeing as the two previous threads were threads that had to be removed I thought it was the best option. No harm done by it as it was back within 30 seconds.

Should AGMS have a minimum post count? Moderators should, they work on the forum. Mike works on the Habbo client, therefore he should be spending time in game visiting events, the help desk etc. making sure everything's up to scratch. Just like Myke should be checking up with any discipline issues within departments, and just like the non-existant AGM Dev should be whipping the site coders.

HabboxWiki I think is needed and it even comes up on Google when I search for things

I'd like to add to this point because it's so freaking crucial, I don't think that Habbox Wiki was every going to grab our own userbase and get them active in it. What will happen, I hope, is the same as Wikipedia. Our search engine rankings are slowly increasing and our self-linking is also improving, as this happens when people start to search for Habbo related stuff like say the Ochre Ice Cream maker Habboxwiki will be a nice high, or even top, listing with the Habbox name displayed proudly. Hopefully bringing in some new players interested in getting an edge.

I think wiki will eventually gain more and more momentum.

One recommendation though is to standardize pages more. It seems that one page is laid out completely differently from another page about a similar think- case in point departments, look at radio and comps and see the difference. I'd prefer a standard layout, such as the main wiki does- intro, history etc etc. Also, need to make an account to edit the fact that someone wrote a lovely peace of propaganda that the radio gets 50 unique listeners off-peak. This isn't 2007 !

Not entirely sure that dig at the site coders was needed. If you hadn't noticed I do have a full time job. I gave up all my last days off to code the latest part of V7.

I'm sure someone has asked this already but I don't want to dig through threads, when is v7 coming?
