My view on the situation

[---MAD---]

Interesting post and makes alot of sens So is Seacat fired? Because removing a member of staff through their own reason is incredibly bad, with no intention to discuss it with whoever re-hired them.

Seacat is not fired no, he spoke to me and then spoke to sierk about the whole situation regarding Dan. Seacat is also allowed to fire staff without consulting sierk about it as he is after all an Assistant General Manager of the forum, although usually he does speak to someone in management about making a move just to see what others think.

I hope that clears that bit up for you .

I am a current forum member however I will be using this account to get my opinions across as I'm sure I would be banned for them (I'm pretty sure they'll try and find out who this is and ban me anyway).

As stated numerous times, you cannot get banned for giving your opinion, only when you are rude or offensive towards another forum member.
When you are staff and you complain about somebody in a post you could get fired though, but not banned.

All forum staff? I don't think so: I've aked forum staff and they haven't been asked their opinons. I think you mean 'mettings with forum moderation staff' whether this is an error or you were emelishing the truth remains to be seen but you're certainly loosing my confidence quickly.

The forum staff consists of moderators, super moderators and forum managers, I'm not sure what you mean by moderation staff. Forum staff does not include Habbox staff members from other departments.

Btw it is spelt definitely not definately I think I'm gonna put this in my signature now.

I only thought Seacat was the Assistant General Manager for the forum but not Habbox?

That is correct.

Seacat is an Assistant General Manager of Habbox for the Forum.
So where he concentrates on directing his authority to the forum, freak will direct his to the site, nvrspk to the staff, and i'm not sure what MAD's domain is...

Thanks =]

I fired Dan after discussing it with ---MAD--- to get a second opinion. I fired him because in the past, when we have thought someone "may hack us" we've sometimes given them the benefit of the doubt; only for them to go on and cause damage. This time I took a different approach in the interests of the Forum.

I PMed Dan and his reply implied that he accepted why he had been removed. The removal of Dan was nothing personal towards Dan as I've not come across any problems with him; however, I felt that it was the best decision to take and if I was in the same situation again I would take that situation again.

Given the level of maturity and understanding on Dan's part I see no reason why, in the future, he can not re-join as a member of the Forum Moderation team. However at the moment I still think it's a bit early to be re-hiring people who have been fired in the last week or so.

I always wondered what Catzy was fired for. Yes she was a good person to talk to, but keeping an argument going is a terrible attitude, especially when it goes against Staff Rules.

Has Dan been re-hired? Because it could be safe to re-hire him?

The job title Assistant General Manager (Forum) covers all of Habbox sites; Habbox.com, habboxworld, habboxforum, habboxlive e.t.c but means that I concentrate on the Forum as that is the department that I've progressed through the ranks in. It doesn't mean that I have to stick to the Forum. Basically all AGMs are at the same rank and have the same amount of power, just the site in brackets after our names is our "area of expertees" if you like. (Just thought I'd clear that up).

I agree with most of sierk's posts - I've never seen ---MAD--- come across as arrogant - and I think that ---MAD--- does a great job of running the Forum as it is such a hard job due to the fact that you have all normal manager duties, such a large team to look after and then a whole community pointing the finger at you as soon as something happens.

I also agree we should involve staff more in incidents to do with the Forum. One of the things I spoke to Nvrspk4 about a few weeks ago was to involve staff (and users) more in decision making at Habbox in general.

And they're my views on the incidents.
