If you were GM and could make one change

habbox users obviously wouldn't get the point of this thread and turn it into a debate

if I as General Manager i'd ban any Irish people called Graham who always moan all the time. IT'S LIKE YOU ARE A WOMAN.

Oh my, was that sexism?

If I was General Manager I would probably do something with the competitions department along the lines of what FJ's been saying.

Well this kinda isn't the forum for light hearted threads

Btw all this "use moderator discretion" stuff is asking for trouble. I know that seems like a very totalitarian thing to say but leaving things as important as the rules open to debate leaves so much room for error and poor judgement that infraction reversals and unfair edits will go through the roof as well as people being allowed to get away with murder.

If the rules are shortened so that its up to a moderator to decide what it means and things go boobs up, you heard it here first!

It was unfair and it was removed, why complain now?

And it wasn't the fact it was hosted on that site, it was that you hotlinked the image and it redirected to a new image advertising the site

I'd get rid of attachments in posts as well. They're so annoying and I don't think it's any more difficult to just copy an IMG link into a post.

So, generally I think it's a good idea and look forward to seeing this change happening.

Changing the way moderators warn members in a post would be a nice change too. Perhaps making a new type of tag for moderators to use would be a good idea? Having it appear as small box rather than a paragraph/sentence under the post in red writing. I can't think of how to draw it though :/ Basically a table using either a solid outline, or dashed outline, with the warning inside. I'm not sure how vBulletin BB tags work, but in theory it shouldn't be too difficult if it's HTML and whatever enabled. There maybe an add-on as such for it (just a bit of code you copy and paste, rather than a hack where you have to install it) so no security vulnerabilities at all

3 events a month, 4 competitions a month. I was refering to competitions staff doing events, it's completely impractical! I've been doing it for a couple of months now, it's bloody hard work and should not be compulsory.

Events may be a lot of work making sure it's advertised and run well but I don't think you could seriously claim that making 1 thread a week and then later closing it is a tough job. I have nothing against you or the comps dept but with the current supply of competitions I'm sure it could be picked up easily by another community team

Scrap the entire management/staff structure, Habbox is too much as a business as it is. Sites such as CH manage with just one owner, one site manager, one forum manager and then a techy and two/three department managers. The fact that habbox has 25+ managers/agm's is shocking and it strikes me that they're just lazy.

I agree 100% with this. As I've posted previously, Habbox is being run like a business, when really it's just a set of teens who are giving each other authority online.

Being "under the reign of LargEgo123" is pathetic, as is "next in line for management".. it's not the royal family, it's a fansite for Habbo Hotel. I daresay new members would prefer it if this whole staffing structure was changed and looked more welcoming.
Other sites have general management that play Habbo frequently; they take part in activites on the game, help promote their sites and get it popular (there's only Roxy who is doing this right now.. :rolleyes

Currently, there is people acting as a general manager, then someone acting as an assistant. Why not just give them the position if they obviously aren't coming back?

Bleh.. I just can't be bothered anymore.

Funny you should say that, we were testing this just last night. We're trying to find / create one that looks good though. It's quite hard to be fair, I think it looks quite vulgar. I want to go for something nice and simple.
