Should HxHD be scrapped and COMPLETELY turned into a lounge?

But I am sure many people are also capable of handling such questions even if they are not staff. I am sure that some people are better at answering these questions than some of the staff.

If it became a lounge then people would not ask questions as frequently.

exactly, we get visitors out of it being a help desk, then maybe they might get intrested in habbox

If it was a lounge then only people who knew about habbox would go

We want to encourage people to ask questions and ask for help, not discourage them.

I never said we should discourage them.

They can still ask questions but not have to focus on asking people behind a desk.

Lol at another fact about help desk, i'm being threatened of "forum disciplinary action" because i reload in HxHD lols

That never happens anyway, generally people who need help normally enter the room shouting 'I NEED HELP' rather then going up to the desk.

Yes and people who aren't help desk staff help aswell. I can't see the point of "Help Desk" staff, but I can see the point in room moderators. :eusa_wall

Is a name change really gonna benifit the dept as a whole?

Is there really any need?

Initially, I thought of making the entire place a lounge/help desk with no bar, just staff around to help out and chill out, making them integrate more with the desks.

Jaiisun convinced me to alter that a little bit and instead minimize the help desk portion, leaving it there but small.

I think the hybrid portion works better, and staff are absolutely necessary. Staff form the core of the popularity, people come in when staff are there. If it was solely a chill-out room with no staff, its popularity would fluctuate at best, but someone would need to get a bunch of friends together and intentionally go to HxHD for it to become popular.

With this, staff members are around and other single people drop by and can have a chat.

I also set the number at 12 for a reason, it stops the staff from getting too high and stopping staff being the only ones who attend. However having 6 staff is also unrealistic because these 6 staff won't always be online.

Not all 12 are online either, but i know there would be more of a chance for a greater amount of staff to be online at once, but 90% of the time the 12 staff members are online at the same time, so it doesnt make a huge difference.

One Reason why sometimes i dislike the helpdesk is the staff abuse there rights, i got told off and warned by a fellow staff member for saying "That guy is abusing a habbo bug/glitch" apparently i was harrasing him, i do not think i should of got warned for this, i know this is not the place to argue this but i just am making a valid point why some dont like the helpdesk, the staff need to be more relaxed, since now the helpdesk is so strict i need to double check what i say before i say anything incase i get in trouble by staff.

I Also think it should be made that super staff must get managements aproval if they want to ban someone as sometimes the super staff might not have a decent excuse and perhaps they think they can ban someone for anything because they think they have the power.

The One reason what is wrong with the helpdesk is staff being so power hungry (dont get me wrong not all are like this) just the few and im sure they know who they are.

Its just a change of name. Its a complete change of what it is and what it represents.

But we all know tht its more of a social room, so why is there a need to change the name

Just to please some people?
