A Proposal.

Maybe a day?


also, anyone else find it ironic hes banned?

[Hazza]

As have I, but I don't agree with you. :S

If you think about it, if we make one mistake we get pissed on (so to speak). Say we changed the value of the throne to 55HC because one person sold 20 of them at that price, we would get pissed on. If we do a tiny little thing it does cause quite some havoc.

As for this idea, I voted Yes because it might be quite funny. (I'm not getting involved in the rest of this thread)

The forum needs moderators to work properly.

Obviously there would need to be some moderation, but you could maybe... relax the rules abit for a week and make them less strict.

more like it!!

Not ironic that I was banned, there was a reason.

As for the idea, if it's interesting, enforce it.

because you merged all the threads in big brother forum?

[Coldplay.]

Pretty much.

It was an accident though.

[samsaBEAR]

I actually lol'd when he told me.
It was an accident tho, he was like 'you know i said i tried to merge those threads and it didnt work? well it did'
i lol'd so bad, then i thought 'o crap im gonna get the blame for it'
but i didnt, so thats ok!

[Coldplay.]

Yes, of course thats fine ...

I apologize in advance for the ridiculous levels of self-flattery about to be included in this post.

Given that I've worked for Habbox for...like...four years I think its been now and having worked like seventeen different jobs, I qualify myself a semi expert, not necessarily invalidating all other opinions, but basically, I kind of have a better idea of the big picture than some. (Like I said, I apologize, this sounds arrogant )

Anyway, I have for a long time said that moderators need to have the thickest skin of ANY member of staff. Moderators tend to get more flak than really any department does. However I empirically disagree with the claim that the moderators are the most unthanked department at Habbox. They are the most abused, for certain, but not the most unappreciated.

How many times have you seen a Graphics Designer praised for his work? I tried to give credit to the GDs who made HxSS graphics but its not often done. When you hover over the HC sofa, does it say "Values Reported by -danube-"? Moderators get a lot of abuse, but they get just as much credit. Because when you think about it, many users actually idolize moderators, because there are a LOT of people who want to be moderators. Yes you see the most vocal of people dissing moderators left and right but there are certainly fans and that out there.

Moderators obviously have a different job function than the HabboxLive staff members and therefore have a different interaction with the members. However the argument can not really be made successfully here because the users of the forum are not necessarily the same as the listeners, and therefore we get an incomplete view of the big picture.

There are a lot of thankless jobs, I would know, having cycled through Forum Mod, Super Mod, Admin, Rep Editor, and Staff Editor, I've basically had a lot of positions where its easy to make enemies, because you're telling people off But there are people who are nice about it, I tell the stories to mods about the times when I could interact with the spam forum and I would be talking to a couple people on MSN as I banned them and we got on fine (benji, helen, you guys still around? )

Its all a matter of how you do the job But, at the same time, there will always be the douchebags.
