Fansite owners reward

[Envieux]

To be completely honest I don't think this is necesary at all. If the fansite is large enough and popular enough I'm sure said fansite would have one user who got into the event and would be willing to take a couple of screenshots and give a run down of what happened to a certain member of the fansite reporting staff.

in my opinion, i dont think that the fansite reps should get this press badge, if it is going to be introduced.

what would be a better alternative is that the fansite reps should choose 1 or 2 people who should get the badge, which is likely going to be those who are news reporters or other members of staff.

allow me to use HabboFM as an example....

currently, mike and dave (Miketh and Exercet) have the fansite badge

they could select one or two people to get this 'press' badge

an example being myself, or one of the other DJs or staff, who could then report back on such events

Thing is with that one, Lysone, is that if that user quit - it would take a while to have their badge removed. Plus there are much greater sanctions if an Official Fansite Representative abuses their power or breaks the Fansite Way.

i dont mean to be biased, but im going to refer to mike and dave again because i know them better than any of the other fansite reps

as one of the first sites to get the official status, i really don't think that mike and dave are prepared to want to put that at risk by doing something wrong.

i dont mean to sound big headed, but i have really got to know the both of them, as a result they have a lot of trust in me, so much so that i have been granted access to highly restricted areas of the site and staff panel, and i have no intention of breaking that trust. i also know that they communicate on a regular basis with L_W, becs and some of the other staff, like most of the fansite reps.

should this badge be released and the fansite reps are allowed to nominate someone to get the badge, i know that it will get discussed between the HabboFM senior management as to who would get the badge, and all possibilities would get discussed. and i know for certain that neither mike or dave would pick someone to get the badge if they didnt feel 100% positive that their decision is a good one.

i dont know how the other sites operate with matters like this so i cant really comment, though i think it will probably be in a similar way.

maybe L_W could discuss with the reps about their choices for who gets the badge before they are given out, so that the hotel management can be sure that the powers that come with the badge cannot be abused

I accept your point (and apologize for spelling your name wrong :p) but the thing is if it's only the Reps that get it, Habbo can keep control of the Fansite - and it's far easier to track.

If Random123 gets the Press badge because she works at OfficialFansite.com and goes on a spree of abusing the badge, it'll take a while to get the badge off her AND they can't exactly remove the Official status. If a rep did that, they could

Completely agree with Andrew/Kotu.

agreed with Kotu.

The last time I checked, PRESS means VIP in international hotels. ;/

They can easily keep a list. It's not that hard. And if the below happened, they can easily remove the badge. And I guess they could remove that fansite, you would have to pick who you give the badge to if it's true to someone you trust, I guess.

I'm a news manager at Thehabbos, aha. Without a badge, we have still been able to report loads of articles.

I'm undecided on the matter, in some ways I agree it would be useful for events in public rooms but fansite reps would want to be the first there, so all the reps that have room overide would jump in first and those people that dont cant get in so the room would probs be full of fansite reps and xs etc.. Unless they wait untill the room is full and then go in, but that won't always be the case, as for giving press badge to other staff, other than a fansite rep I don't think it will happen, I know you may be seen as a respectable person but Lost has no way of knowing this, and its easy to say oh I won't abuse it but I can guarentee at one point everyone will abuse it somehow, even if its just to get in a popular room for a split second, that is still abusing the power. And owners are usualy long term, news reports arn't if they post something wrong or abuse thier powers on the fansite itself, they will be gone.

Although not the case on every fansite, and these are my opinions you can agree or disagree, please don't take anything personally.

Fansite reps can abuse there badge just as much as a News reporter would. And going in a popular room isn't abusing the badge, it's using the badge.

But, you would say that.
