Would you like SNQ to be replaced?

wtf red always participates you liar

snq needs to be taken outside of hxhd to attract new people and needs better prizes

Agree with this. Make a proper weekly snq event room, will get outsiders coming in to play!

I agree but isn't that just called Trivia?? The Events Department host it.

Every time I've attended an event called 'trivia' there's all this spam of 'g hd n a rt o p ft 90s pop wc h' before a question gets asked.

no? trivias and snq are completely different

like kardan said in trivia, people can pick the themes like wc, gaw, stb, n3 etc

the quiz is just a quiz with actual questions

and yes snq needs to be given to events dept! the quality of snq has declined significantly over the last few months

And I'm certain that it was raised the once in the desk, and yes that was your response. The only other time it was mentioned was in a thread somewhere and I don't remember seeing you respond to it, or provide a valid reason why it was done. I mean you need to google to find the answer. Where are the winners being posted? There was a thread that used to be updated. You said I don't participate. I equated that with not speaking during the quiz.

I don't recall seeing it in this thread so I will have a look for that later.
I'm unaware of a thread truth be told.
Well that's not what I meant and if that was what I meant, your argument that I use the idle seats wouldn't make much sense.

@Inseriousity.; it might be easier, but it is not a rule that you need to be in the staff Skype chat, so someone could be missing out on hosting it. Understandably, if they want to host they could ask management, but it should be seen by staff on the forum as surely they should be active on it.
@dbgtz; yeah everyone needs time away, but you have 3 senior staff, and 2 managers above you, so surely one of them could have sorted it out?

Part of the role of senior is to ask people to host and, as far as I can tell, they do ask.

Thomas, it is completely understandable for you to put your education first and have time away to do so, in fact I'd be worried if you didn't. When time(s) comes for you to be away though for whatever reason, it is important to have good communication with your seniors (and for them to communicate well with each other) - to let them know what needs to be done in the department while you're gone and also for them to work together to get tasks done (so something like this can be avoided). Also communicate with general management as seniors have things they can't do that you can do as a manager and also so don't things don't get so crazy.

The reason it seems stale is because it's been the same format for god knows how long at this point, nothing to do with when the questions are done.

Be creative to spice it up. I know you have that creativity in you rice boy.

I have made it well aware they need to get people to host, and they have tried to do so as far as I can tell. I have hosted or written questions many times recently because nobody would like to host, despite being asked. The problem is not people aren't being pushed to host, the problem is people just do not want to host. I suspect part of the reason you replied is to do with inseriousity. and It's all well and good for him to offer to host now it's gone **** up, but where was he offering the last 8 weeks? Or the past few months in fact. Possibly down to the fact he doesn't log in on Saturday nights like most other staff? Not sure, that's for him to say.

In regard to the second point, it's up to (a)gm to change at this point.

I love it when the manager turns on their staff .

The thing is though, I don't believe Rosy was trying to say that you aren't pushing them or whatever as obviously she can't see behind the scenes, but sure having advice from an ex Help Desk Manager, who was been in your shoes and know what it's like is a good thing? She probably replied because it is feedback, she is entitled to say what she wishes and if she did so because of Mike who cares? You're saying to him why hasn't he bothered offering to host for the past 8 weeks - you answered your own question, perhaps it's because 'they don't want to'. It's not a requirement for them to host the Saturday Night Quiz, nor should it be. May I ask is there any requirements for Senior+ hosting say 1 event/quiz once a month in the Help Desk? If not maybe it's something to consider as it could possibly help the department!

Also, it might be up to the AGMs to tweak it so it works, but there is nothing stopping you giving feedback as after all you should have a say in what they want to change, what they don't and whether you agree or disagree. However, I have a feeling you might have done so already as there's a management discussion thread according to form!

[Ms.Aquamarine]

You need to calm down, you're getting annoyed.

I'm really disappointed by your attitude right now. I'm telling you this and replying to the thread (this isn't the first time I have replied to a feedback thread about HxHD Tom) because I want to see HxHD improve and be the best it can be, so do others in this thread.

[Inseriousity.]

Rosy and I have not dated for a while now so her replying has nothing to do with me and everything to do with being a former HxHD manager. I volunteered to host SNQ a couple of weeks ago if you'd give me the questions but you said you were hosting it (which was fair enough). The cynic in me would suggest that you realised you hadn't tried to get anyone to host SNQ this week so the building session was timed to coincide with SNQ and hope that no-one would care enough to post about it. You've been deflecting ever since. I have never pretended to be HxHD Staff of the Month. It is commonly known that I usually do all my hours on a Sunday (although I have tried recently to change that and spread my hours out) and that I only do the minimum hours required but it seems to have been forgotten that I volunteer more than frequently for other events the department hosts including almost every day at the Zombie Run and the Hogwarts Triwizard tournament. It is an exceptionally weak argument to deflect a fair point that Rosy makes and to turn it onto me and my flaws and I expected better from you.
