Staff Posting Competition

[AgnesIO]

Of course moderators are volunteers (lol i nearly wrote VIPs ) and they put in a hell of a lot of effort and all do a good job (and anyone who's reading this thread, let's not make some pointless "MODERATIN WAS BETTER BEFORE" thread :rolleyes however the way I see it is whilst you're browsing the forum, especially in your category, you can always add a little comment at the end. This means the members know you're a moderator of the section and you do browse it and you're active in it, meaning I think a quota is fair for the moderation department. As I said though, other departments are based elsewhere and that means the forum isn't their primary site, just like the client isn't the moderation department's! Like I said earlier, I think there might be a chance the actual Habbox site will become centre of attention in the upcoming months especially with the Habbox/HxL merge. Staff should post yes but we can't force them after all, whether it's a minimum which must be met or an aim. In my opinion, an aim will just be discarded and no one will pay attention as it does not need to be met.

P.S. I was never an active poster! My average posts is like 1.4 or something and that's probably because of all the CNBs



Again I don't think they HAVE to post but I think it's important for them to do so. If they don't, it's their loss. Seeing "______ MANAGER" in their usertitle immediately promotes their department as well as their signature which is likely to promote their department. For example Mike's has a nice little image which can be clicked to show you all the comps, HOORAY, ADVERTISEMENT! If they don't want to it's OK imho as it'll only downgrade the amount of promotion the department could potentially receive. However, on the other hand, a post count in the double digits and in management is an entirely different matter and that is not acceptable.

But Alex, it isn't their loss. It is Habbox's loss. If the managers don't post, why on earth would a new younger member feel inclined to?

I know when I first joined, I used to love seeing managers and stuff post around the forum.

With at least one manager in each department being an active poster, I don't think it's much of a loss to Habbox if two or three managers choose not to post as much as long as they are good at their job.

tbh i like this idea =] =] it lets staff communicate more with the users of the forum =] =] . . . and also lets the users get to know the staff a bit more so come on staff post post post

Well that average is huge compared to some and you were really well known but I get what you mean.

I wouldn't be influenced by posting by anyone on this forum. Just 'cos Mr-Trainor is posting 20 times a week I'm not going to do that purely because of him. They'd feel inclined too because they signed up to a forum most likely to post, not to browse seeing as you can see everything but spam as a guest. They may have also joined just so they can become staff which is fair enough. Sure, if staff posted then it'd be helpful but at the end of the day I'd rather them do their jobs well than sacrificing it for endless posting. Like Oli said, there's only a few managers who don't post much (specially that HabboxComps guy, God when does he ever post) so it's not Habbox's loss if each department has someone who is posting, surely?

The managers are the key people, with all due respect to a normal Content Designer, no one gives two ***** who you are, or if you post. Don't get me wrong, I was a content designer, but nobody cres about that department.

However, if a DJ posts (or a manager) it changes. It is a bit like if a celebrity is seen in an area, people will want to go and get in contact with them. Similar concept, obviously on a much smaller scale.

Also, Alex you were basically famous with 1.4 posts per day - one of the current (A)M's has 0.09

Yes, so P/R wise it was great for the forum.

no i doubt that. i post regularly but no-one goes OMG GRAPHICS MANAGER POSTED LETS REPLY ASWELL.

nop. it doesn't happen, we're no different to anyone else and saying that we are is just kinda doing something that was complained about a while ago. we're just normal members like you guys we just have roles which keep the fansite going, nothing else, we're not anything special in all fairness.

Because nobody knows of the graphics department. I couldn't tell you who is in your department, or exactly what you guys make (I know you make awars and banners, do you make the skins?) Also you have no presence on Habbo. Whereas RV dept do, HxL do, Events do, HxHD do.

Sorry that may have came out as rude. It wasn't meant to, but it is true. The Graphics debt is tiny, and don't really have any presence in terms of being public - you don't get masses amounts of credit for your work, although it is really good (of what I know you make).
