My opinions and flaws about HXF.

[Favourtism]

I don't speak down on anyone. Neither do management. They are expressing their opinions in a proffesional manor and that is all. I don't have a strong say but I have as much as you or someone else.

Yes I have had infractions reversed everyone mod has. I am saying that you can only improve and that is what I have done by issuing only infractions that are truly needed. I was quite bad regarding reversed but like you said to improve and in that aspect I have. Lots of Mods havr those links in their sigs and its helping members rather than posting lots of threads saying why am I banned you could just say use the link in my signature etc.

Anyway, ths thread isn't about me so can we keep it on topic because I am sure you want to express your views regarding other matters.

You have a say in the forum, but not a strong say. You speak down to people as if you were an administrator/part of management and agree with anything management says "/ If you disagree, you don't post by the looks of things...

And my point is still valid, because you have posted reversible infractions. I have had a quick look in the infractions forum every now and again and the last month was dreadful! Even I had an infraction which clearly made no sense to the administrator removing it aswell! It's as if you looked at the post and didn't take any notice of the posts it followed!

You're not a bad moderator, no one really can say that, but you certainly need to improve.

Also, my point about you thinking you're higher than others is in your signature. What can you really do with ban problems? If people want to report them, they'll report ban issues to a manager or someone with the proper controls...Not a forum moderator/news reporter :rolleyes: I think you talking about bans goes against a couple of staff and member rules, too...


Quick reader :S

i think a majority of warnings / infractions you've issued me have been reversed lol

The most fun time I had on Habbox was when Baving, Seacat, Joshuar,
Nvrspk4, Barkseh and A4AOwen were all here but its pretty subjective really.

Its horses for courses - I did feel it was much more laid back and Laissez Faire
then when staff did not take their jobs quite so seriously although J1mi seems to have fun with the members lately. Two types of staff work for Habbox, basically. The first type are pretty laid back and do it for their desire to make it a fun place and to make sure that the members are in a safe and happy environment to do it. The second type because they like being in a position of authority and power and like it more hierarchical, rank orienatated, tightly organised and structured although hopefully they still retain their desire to make Habbox a good forum

Which is right? Well we all have our different preferences. I do believe in the infraction system - used properly it is the best way to stop abuse and bullying on the forum. Members also know exactly what they are supposed to have done and can challenge it if needs be. Also the 2 month limit was a great improvement. The infraction system virtually cuts out abuse of moderation power against the members without reparation.

I agree, Well before baving became a mod with still good, I think since him and Paula left its been *****, Sorry management + HxL but no show was funnier than Paul and Baving, And the tub sessions with 8f8,baving,paul

[Paulio]

Lol it's cool that you liked Baving n me but we didn't do much tbh lol. Tbh there will always be people who love you and hate you when you're Habbox Management because some people agree with what you do and some people don't. It's like polatics!

[GoldenMerc]

Soz but it was a amusing few months.

Well yes indeed you, Baving and Seacat let the staff get on with it. There was no quota of mod logs, reports or hierachy as such - you knew when a mod was doing okay or not and told us if we had done something wrong but were always there when we needed to ask something and guided us when we were new. Can't ask for more than that as far as I am concerned.

In my honest opinion I feel that the majority of the staff feel scared (for want of a better word) of posting on the forum, because they feel that they are going to be targetted by other users idiotic and confrontational nature, and simply find that they would rather post in the staff sections and save themselves the aggro. Most of our staff members are active at least somewhere on this forum, however the majority mainly stick to the staff only sections; whether this is a personal choice, or a pressured choice, is there to be decided.

If staff are scared to post then that is a BIG problem.
Managment should stand up for there staff, I know i go on alot about "back in the day" but its because I reckon the forum was a hell of a lot better back then and it still could be like that now. Management used to stand up for there staff and staff used to have a laugh.

And I can't remember who said about how its grown, yes the forum has grown its gained 10,000 more members as I remember it having 20,000 when I was here. Yet how many of them new 10,000 members are active? As I still see a lot of the same names popping up with join dates such as 2004,2005 etc.

It has nothing to do with the size of the forum that it has lost its community spirit, it is down to management and organisation.
I am not blaming current managment or anyone in particular.
Also its down to members, A lot of members who are on the forum now do no good for the forum and should be banned, yeah sarcasm etc is alright but not in every post. Its like they are on this permament puberty moody phase its like f off lol.

And like Catzy said with the 2 different types of staff, the staff should be working here because they enjoy it and find it fun. Power is nothing at the end of the day, as soon as seacat left and all the other regular staff I worked with, i decided to leave as it lost its fun-ness. I worked here because it was fun, we used to have a right laugh.

The infractions system needs to be scrapped ASAP imo, what a pile of crap it is. It does no good apart from pushes members and the staff/forum apart from each other.
Bring back the good old user notes and hire more than 8 moderators to mod this forum!

I agree that the infractions system is pretty useless and does next to nothing to show users where they're going wrong.It also gives the admins/smods (whoever deals with it) far more work to do, especially as they say they get little to no time to enjoy their forum. It is pretty clear when a forum member needs to be banned: when they spam/make offensive posts all of the time. A personal written warning should be sent to the user by the moderator to explain where they went wrong. If they ignore the warning it is clear that they have no regard for the forum rules, and deserve a ban. Waiting until they have a ridiculous amount of infractions is silly imo.

Agree with Catzy on the staff. Jrh is excellent imn my opinion, he says what he thinks not what they want him to. I commented on the rules, he says "fair enough, I would change some too"

---MAD---, or any other of the second type of management, would just say "the rules are for you to follow"

So great respect for jrh, and even J1mI goes into the spam forum and posts.

Staff should not feel scared, and if they are confronted off topic they should just temporaraly ban them. Feedback is confrotation sometimes too, but if it is structed well it should be allowed.

"omgz you suck" should not be, staff run the forums and should be able to post wherever, the fact as has been said they hide away in the staff forums doesn't say much about the commitment to the forum.
