As someone who's seen it from the perspective of a member, staff member, manager and the person who's overseen staff permissions I agree completely with what Scottish said several pages ago. It would be a terrible decision to allow managers to see after their own permissions. First, Habbox wouldn't just allow the forum manager to manage their own permissions and then not allow any other manager the same right. So then, if managers in general were allowed to oversee their own departmental permissions it would be chaos. It's better to have one person who knows what they're doing oversee, keep track of, and fix mistakes pertaining to permissions, as opposed to having a surplus of ten different people attempt to handle that task. Many more mistakes would be made, and it would be much harder to keep track of what's going on. Also, it would be a huge liability to have so many forum administrators.
There's no news related jobs I've ever "refused" to do since becoming a coder for Habbox, the one exception to this is when it was suggested that news not be displayed on the home page by Oli as GM, and I (maybe with Charlie I can't remember) had a lot to say about that. I'm going to assume by refused you meant did not deal with because he resigned.
I've resigned, so in theory nobody should be waiting for me to do anything. I'm happy to help out on occasion when asked, or to finish the several tasks I had sitting on my computer half done like the radio application, or fix old scripts of mine like the new rares scripts, but I want to stress that my resignation is final. Unfortunately I just don't have enough time to stick around like I did before. I'm still rooting for Habbox and if I can ever help give it an edge above its competition then I will, but I can see that Rob has volunteered (I think) to do some Habbox related development, I know Ben is eager to keep learning more about web development, and if I recall correctly HxL has a management member who knows his way around a stylesheet quite well! Habbox definitely has some really intelligent staff members who are capable of producing great things for the fansite. Notwithstanding this, there's quite a lot of coders outside the Habbox clubhouse that Matt and Jin will recruit I'm sure!
I could be wrong but assuming Ryan is still banned from the fansite you really should be reporting this to a super moderator if you have knowledge of users sneaking on the forum.
In regards to Ryan though, I really don't know why he's still banned (IF he is still banned anyhow, as I have been out of the loop). I remember protesting against his ban atleast once this year to Jin when we spoke of Ryan because I think whatever he did wrong several years ago, he's certainly been banned long enough for it. I think he's another person Habbox could look to for coding help.
