Rules for Staff Names

[GommeInc]

To me it seems the community departments is doing all the advertising for the forum, whilst the forum staff sit back and edit a few posts. That shouldn't be the case, the forum team should be made advertise their own department.

1. Duh, it's kinda in the job description. They're community related, their job involves making competitions on and off the forum. Forum staff on the other hand, do not have any concerns over Habbo nor any interest, it isn't in their job requirements.
2. How? How on earth will a Forum Moderator advertise their department on Habbo? This makes no sense :SI very much doubt a Habbo user has interests in stalking a Forum Moderator on Habbo.

I disagree

Habboxlive - Bring in new listeners + dj
Moderators - Moderate the forum


hardly equal.


If anything the forum mods should be doing more advertising than habboxlive. Do you realize how hard it is to multi-task, keeping track of the music, speaking on air, reading requests and advertising in party room at the same time?

So you're suggesting this:

Someone totally unrelated to an area of expertise to advertise on behalf of someone? I think a radio listener would rather talk to the DJ, than a forum moderator.

That's like asking a McDonalds officer worker to talk about how the food is made instead of the cook who creates it.

At the moment we have to do an awful lot when a simple rule is broken, let alone getting into warnings or infractions. I've DJ'd before on other sites and I have to say whilst DJing does require a fair amount of work, forum moderating around here is a tough job, you only have to miss out one PM or something and you have Sarah or Jamesy moaning at you, which is quite an easy mistake to make with all the actions we have to take!

You apply for a community job to undertake the community job role, and you apply for the moderator job to undertake the moderating of the forum. Tip: Don't join the police force to put out fires.

Moderating the forum is demanding - if DJs cannot be expected to multi-task (Habbo+Reading requests etc) then how can you expect a moderator to send PMs, actively view threads (whilst checking them) etc?

I don't understand why we have to have this much confusion and a huge debate... All over a forum name? I for one think that management and staff should concentrate on more important things... Just saying.

This is a lesser issue that shouldn't be addressed until a later time. And I'm sure others will agree.

1. Some people may want to get djing experience on a habbo site before going into the real world and couldn't actually give a **** about habbo and my point is, it should be in their job description.

2. Thats not even the case with habboxlive anymore, no-one goes to party rooms, if they do its rare, thats so 2008. Oh well, its okay leave it up do the djs, that is ridiculous.


I actually feel sorry for the djs and they deserve some praise, the amount of multitasking that is involved is unbelievable and they are still expected to do a **** load of advertising.

*Face palm* the point I'm trying to make is, the forum should be a community department. Actually it is a community department, it is based around habbo users, where most of them heard about habboxforum through habbo. Whether the users still use habbo or not is irrelevant. Habbox get their users from habbo, so they should go get some more and stop forcing other departments to do it.

Well then its either neither or both should have to.

This didn't make sense to me. You do realise Forum Staff do not have to use Habbo to do their jobs? You also seem to have gone off discussing that they should be advertising their departments, even though there is no reason for them to, nor would they ever need to.

2. Thats not even the case with habboxlive anymore, no-one goes to party rooms, if they do its rare, thats so 2008. Oh well, its okay leave it up do the djs, that is ridiculous.
Good, you've just pointed out for me that they have one less job to do. So why should Forum Staff be advertising a department that they have nothing to do with? That'll cause alot of unnecessary chaos, seeing as it isn't their field of expertise and they may supply false information. Like getting a farmer to talk about brain surgery.

No one is disputing this. The discussion is: Staff should be using their Habbo Names. It is quite clear that many of the departments do not require any interaction with Habbo. Forum Staff certainly do not need to use their Habbo Account names, as their department is far from any use on Habbo. That's like advertising the officer workers of a fast food company, when they're not the ones advertising the company, it's the ones on the front line.

What I question is: What use is it for Habbo Users to know about the Forum Department? The Forum Department have limited connection to Habbo, so their name requirements are unnecessary in their role as Forum Staff. Forum Staff cannot advertise their department, as there is nothing to advertise. The advertising comes purely from the website - advertised by Habbo related departments (Help Desk, Trade etc). Departments like the Forum are there to look after the members, while the others are there to promote it.

In short, advertising is this:

Habbo > Website-/-Forum (-/- means either/or)

It's like asking the Habbox Content designers to advertise Habbox, when their job is only to look after the site. The advertising are for those with a hands on approach to the community.

Moderators and DJs have very different jobs. Unless you've been in every department and worked there for a while, I'm sure you don't know how much time and effort each person puts into their job. If it's such an issue that you don't like your forum name that much, I'm sure changing your habbo name wouldn't take that much effort either.

Have you not read my last 10 posts? I know they don't but they should, for the 50th ******* time.

I could say the same about habboxlive, why should habboxlive have to advertise the forum? and once again it should be. I'm pretty sure you don't need to be a genius to shout out 'sign up to habboxforum', what do you mean expertise? lol no-ones trained to advertise habboxlive which I assume you know as I don't think your an idiot, I could be wrong, are you?

I just pointed out how much they do, I'm aware it had nothing to do with the thread.


Before any mods go editing my post, I asked him a question. He can answer with yes or no. If you would like me to define question, feel free to post on my profile.

Yes, and none of your arguments made sense. They don't because it's a waste of time, advertising comes from other departments because that's how those departments are created. Community related departments have their interests on the community. Forum Staff look after the forum. It's kinda obvious. Why you think Forum Staff should be advertising is beyond rational thinking, when they lack the time to and have no interest in Habbo because, as other people have stated, it isn't their business. Once someone has joined, forum staff have the duty to look after that member, and the many other members that join before and after. Their job isn't to go and shout it and nor should it be. No other website does this :/

I could say the same about habboxlive, why should habboxlive have to advertise the forum? and once again it should be. I'm pretty sure you don't need to be a genius to shout out 'sign up to habboxforum', what do you mean expertise? lol no-ones trained to advertise habboxlive which I assume you know as I don't think your an idiot, I could be wrong, are you?

Because habboxLive want a flurry of listeners and advertising the forum is an added bonus at keeping those members. You act as though each department has it's own interests at heart, when actually they all work towards a Habbox Community goal. HabboxLive advertise themselves, Habbox and the Forum because it's their role as Radio Presenters. What do you expect them to do, just play music and make no reference to Habbox at all? It makes no sense... And you really want forum moderators to belittle themselves by flooding/spamming Habbo with "sign up to HabboxForum?" That'll be an incredibly boring and unnecessary task to undertake on a daily basis.
