some habboxlive complaints/issues/concerns

I think he's talking about forum VIP which is even weirder. Managers can request VIP any time so long as they don't take the piss which generally managers can be trusted to make sensible choices with regards to prizes.

I like Charlie's idea of doing prizes in that way (first page I think). Seems to be a win-win for both parties, they still get to say '50 listeners for a gold bar' but people still get a competition and the host will be able to inform people of what that range can be (at their discretion and what they can afford). In fact it's such a good idea, I'd personally ban people using the '50 listeners for gb' thing and say if they are going to do that they need to use this system of doing it, see how much it drops then when they realise they need to put their money where their mouth is.

As for events, I believe when I was AGM, the rule was that they are able to host a small-scale event anytime if it was radio-related (small giveaways, win a room etc) but if they wanted to host something bigger, they should really book it in advance so that it doesn't clash and can be advertised. I agree with Lewis' point about the originality. As it's not the department's job to host events this means they have more flexibility to be more inventive when they do. I disagree with Lewis when he says you'd need to merge them. If a DJ is DJing and there isn't an event on, I'd rather there was somewhere for these people to go to. Then again, DJing is really laggy so I'm not sure how DJs would be able to host and DJ at the same time anyway.

i don't find djing laggy at all i'm always doing win a rooms/giveaways whilst djing and have no problem what do ever haha hosting an event-event would probably be easier than that too

I always found it laggy, it was a miracle I even managed to log into Habbo at all sometimes lol. ahh back in da day

The comment about the "get 40 listeners for x amount of credits" this is only done to gain listeners

It is done to gain listeners and nothing else. That's the problem. There is no plan to actually retain those listeners and lots of people tune out shortly after the comp or tune out close to the end of the hour when the DJ announces "soz guise no comp we were 2 listener off x". I've said it multiple times but I feel I should drill it in - Don't offer huge prizes you are't prepared to give if you don't reach your listener target. 200c for 50 listeners? that's 4c per listener, so if you reach 40, give a little less than 160 but not so little that it wasn't worth tuning in in the first place.

I personally think habboxlive DJs shouldn't be able to host events whenever they feel like if it's free, the reasons being:

1. Possible bad hosting skills (I can guarantee this if any old DJ was allowed to host!)
2. Not following the events handbook
3. Possible less staff for the events department itself

Of course there's going to be bad hosts but there's going to be some bloody good ones too. Same as the events department, really - you get some good hosts like odey and then you get hosts that don't even give prizes for their hour-long event! If they are willing to abide by event hosting guidelines then DJs should be allowed to represent habbox with events. It doesn't mean less staff for events dept as DJs will be allocated free spots, not take spots from EOs.

I can guarantee that if any old DJ could host events, more than half would be an absolute shamble. If this was to go ahead, would this mean that this would get added to the job description?:
"Get to host events as you please when they're free, helping to gain less staff for the events team and not having any minimums for events to be hosted whatsoever!"

If any old DJ was allowed to host events, you may as well merge the two departments. Which is a big no, in my opinion.

Slightly unfair to automatically assume that DJs hosting events would become "an absolute shamble", considering they would obviously need to be briefed on how to properly host an event in the first place. No need to merge depts, just think a little bit of collaboration can't possibly be a bad thing. If events staff want to join DJs on air with weekly shows and the like that that sort of thing should be encouraged too!

If there was an events area, would HabboxLive DJs be allowed to host in there? (Providing there were HxHD staff in there if rights were needed.) Maybe this could be something tested with Head DJs & Despect first?

I know @zebbadi; has a small thing planned to put in the other half of the Help Desk. If that were to go ahead maybe we could have a few DJs using it as well as HxHD staff? @Despect; @Yuxin; @Samanfa;

Events staff have a room they can use for events if they don't have a room set up don't they? I'm sure there was one. But yeah, 1 room that many people can use is a good idea and it's something that happened in the 2012 summer helpdesk for hxss.

@Yuxin; I never said 13 years old can't DJ and stuff. I did mention if they didn't have experience, no matter what age you are .


I agree with what Gina said though about making them read the events handbook and stuff then. But in a way, if they want to host events, they should apply as Events host..... I don't know..

But if you only want to host once or twice a week due to other commitments then you shouldn't be penalised. The more events the better!

Although you can't expect them to be a professional DJ, you have to remember most could be 13 year olds or any young age, so they are not use to talk on air.

oh yeh i know you didn't say that but here you're saying about them being 13 or at any young age and so they arent used to talking on air? im 14 and im used to speaking on air lol i prob just misunderstood you so sorry if i just lmao am2dumb4thisforum then again this is like first time properly posting in it and stuff
but yeh and for them becoming an event organiser what if they dont want to be lol like im happy hosting events and all that **** but i dont want be back at events i know i'll just end up resigning again after a week anyway lmao i get bored easily and would prefer just being allowed to host whenever if theres the slot's free

edit: oh yes what @Kyle; said above [2]

[IzzyUhh]

With the whole thing about hosting events, I think it's a great thing to do with the community but it's something that needs to be done right so maybe a handbook will be good for it!

About age, idk what was going on with that part but It's been explained and it really does come down to experience and how well they can handle things as a person, not their age

I Never found it laggy usually to DJ & Go on habbo & the forum but recently my laptops been a pain so it's been quite laggy doing so

If I've left something out or said something incorrect someone please say!

I just said an age for example. You do know we can't make everyone happy.

[despect]

There was a lot of people saying that HabboxLive should be able to host events a few months ago and we got told that we were allowed to as long as we had permission from @Samanfa; or a Events Management/Seniors. Personally, I'd love to be working more closely with the Events department because we are quite similar. I do have some Event ideas that I'd like to speak with Events and get something sorted very shortly with them, which is something quite big. I did start planning it with @Lewis; before he resigned.
