Why is there separate posting comps?

[scottish]

They are being encouraged to post, using the same method every other member of the forum/community is having to use..

Scott it was you that said before that staff aren't posting around enough and they need to be encouraged to do so, that's what I'm doing and now it's a problem.

Ultimately it's 50 tokens, someone's making a mountain out of a molehill.

If you were giving away VIP this might be an issue however 50 tokens is the equivalent of 1/80th of a month of VIP. This is just one of many avenues habbox uses to encourage posting, I see no reason why we shouldn't be pursuing this avenue.

I don't know about any other department but the mod staff spam thread still does exist and it is absolutely dead and Ibelieve that's also the case in most other departments. How do you propose we could see more people in spam?

To be fair, it might be dead at the moment, but some people have thousands of posts in that thread.

However, we have removed spam threads in the past and that achieved absolutely nothing in terms of posting activity.

Ohh of course, don't get me wrong! The thread is just over five years old and has 50k replies in it. Back when I was staff a few years ago they were so popular and couldn't be kept up with but in the most recent year or two they have just gone dormant

See the countless posts stating it's not about the reward, it's the principle.

And I disagree with the principle. It seems this isn't conclusive and doesn't matter.

This is a non-issue.

[Inseriousity.]

When you're staff you get certain advantages (part of a team, staff rewards etc) but you also get certain disadvantages (unable to commit so freely to big events/comps, management/member expectations, professionalism) just as members get certain advantages (free to participate in bigger events, freedom to speak your mind etc) and disadvantages (can be quite isolating, no staff of the month etc).

Ultimately, it balances out in the end.

Are you honestly that bored and so offended at the fact that staff get a little bit extra to thank them for their time and effort towards Habbox. When you think about it, staff get very little in return for the amount of time they put in. Yes there is SOTM and the occasional scheme that allows staff to enter, but it's a forum based incentive for god sake. It's not like they're giving out a throne each week to someone who makes the top posts in their dept. If that was the case, i'd expect you to be up in arms about it. 50 tokens is literally nothing. Look at the token shop..... 1000 tokens to get 5c. Community members are at such a disadvantage that the 50 tokens a week on offer to staff if they get the most posts is completely outrageous. Staff are clearly raking in the $$$ -.-

If you want the privilege of participating in this scheme why not become staff and join in? It's not like it's an exclusive club or anything that only a few people are allowed to join. The opportunity to become staff is open for everyone and there's literally nothing stopping you from becoming staff and participating in it. If anything i'd have seen this as a good way of Habbox saying thanks to it's staff and providing them with motivation to post a bit more. If staff didn't post at all I'm sure there'd be a few questions asked about why they weren't.

I swear Phil can't do anything right these days lol. Give it a rest.

Who said you need to be bored to create a thread giving feedback? or offended for that matter? For the 18th time, it's the principle, for the 18th time I couldn't care less if it was 5 tokens of 5000 tokens. Read.

Because I have no interest in becoming staff?

Who said Phil done anything wrong? I'm sure the scheme was probably in place before Phil became Forum Manager, no-ones called out Phil for doing anything wrong? lol.

Tbh this thread was originally created out of confusion, i didn't know if the thread was posted as a glitch or what, then phil confirmed there's two comps so a discussion started. Anyone can come into a thread and be like 'BLA BLA HX STAFF DO LOADS, I DO LOADS, I WANT TOKENS' but the fact remains it isn't needed and unfair regardless of the value of tokens that are given.
