Welcome Committee

[Calvin]

There are silly rules which has pushed a lot of the active members away. Just compare this forums activity with CHF. Last night at midnight, CHF spam went back 3 hrs, Hxf spam went back 27 hours.

I have to agree with this, ClubHabbo is laid back which is better but HabboxForum is like going to prison without committing the crime.

And when you hire people like HU as mods, you know there is going to be trouble.

This topic is discussing the Welcome committee, not the Moderation team - you know what to do if you want to make a complaint/suggestion. FYI: Moderators don't choose the rules, we enforce them - so I fail to see your argument that the department is failing by saying that the you don't like the rules. You clearly dislike the rules and maybe a specific Moderator (from what comes across anyway).

ontopic:
The welcome committee is getting revamped - surely it is better to try than to not try at all? It's obvious there we some flaws in the previous way it was run and it will be dealt with by (Forum) Management.

The only trouble is that of which you are making. This is a discussion about the welcome committee. I welcome everyones feedback on it, when it devolves into simply ******** about the moderators who are doing their jobs and have received no complaints other than those made by yourself we are not going to tolerate it - calling it power hungry management, whatever you like it's no skin off my nose.

Post about the WC, by all means. I respect all constructive feedback.

Any further posts whining about the mod team in this thread will be treated as spam.

My plans involve taking the WC away from being a cut off team into opening up the forums into a place where new members can find information relevant to them. Perhaps they don't want to ask the staff a question, they can ask questions in there. I view it more as the helpdesk of the forum rather than a designated "hello" robot society and thus the changes will reflect that.

A chairman who can take care of it so neglection wont be an issue. Any major decisions will need to come via myself or Garion but I don't see that being an issue.

Allowing department managers access (give it 5 minutes before Mike posts something about the comps forum).

stripping away the bureaucracy such as 5 staff, 5 normal and such limitations. If you want to be a part there shouldn't be any stopping you.

Adding a link and explanation of this to the Welcome PM will also be done .

Those are my proposed plans, and fall into line with ones Garion has suggested to me too. Hopefully this will give it a more potent effect rather than being a wishy washy idea left to run itself into the ground.

Its a waste of time and a fail attempt at trying to make it a success when it will just fail like the Groups. Its better to use the effort and energy elsewhere. Like I said, forums done well for 6 years without one, all members are against it, yet only the mods, jamesy and garion are for it ...
Clearly shows you do not listen to your members.

hehe 15 minutes, not bad. Anyway, a poll on Habbox says people join a forum for prizes so yeah, it's all for their own good

Oh really? I didn't know that.

I can't really comment much as I can't see the forums but looking at Saurav's quote, it looks as if that's the only conversation there, all acting like robots. Example;

Hey, I'm new to HabboxForum. My name is Bob and I like playing Habbo

Hey Bob, welcome to HabboxForum. I'm Welcome Committee member one! If you need help, feel free to PM me or post in these forums!

Yoooo Bob, glad you joined! If you need help then simply drop me a PM by clicking here.

Hey, welcome to HxF! Looks like you're new here, I'm WC 3 and I'm a member of the welcome committee - nice to meet you!

are these robots or something?

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Lol stop trying to act clever and trying to be patronising. You are only making yourself look foolish. I was removed because of this thread and it was said in the PM too ...


Let me quote Garion's PM

"Your obvious lack of faith in the ability of the committee to successfully achieve its aims suggests to me that you are no longer entirely suitable to the position." and the whole line had a hyper link to the PM.
Well done on making yourself look like a complete idiot by trying to act clever.

And wow, complete lack of faith? I suggested ideas to which neither James and Garion bothered replying to in the WC forums. Lack of faith? I think its them who cannot be bothered, not me. Oh what a surprise, most people are agreeing that its useless so remember if you are staff, never say a negative word or they will get rid of you.

If that's true then management needs to sort itself out, removing someone because they think it's ineffective is not reason enough, it's just calling for improvement.

Merge it with HxHD. Simples.

Because HU doesn't have enough responsibilities and titles in his userbit?

Calm down?

Management needs to learn that whilst it's policy is not to have staff up to review by the forum users, users will leave due to bad decisions and for not being listened to, past management has had this view that they can ignore users on certain issues when they like and wont lose out from it and in some cases it must be done but, over do it and you end up with the draconian system that Habbox has become today where Management place power in those of their choosing regardless of public opinion. It has rubbed many users up the wrong way and leaves the forum in it's state today, declining.

Im sorry guys, but the wc isn't actually effecting you at all, your not new members so it's not harming you.
Would you like to explain to us how we could not 'act like robots'?
