Complaints Forum Poll

[Catzsy]

We are now presented with a new innovation in which Mad says that to
avoid 'endless discussions' he has come up with a complaints forum to ensure an answer from Higher Management?

Is this just another way of not letting members voice their opinions on the standard of service provided by Habbox Forum and preventing a discussion on topics or is it a really good way of dealing with the members issues?

My view is that there is no need for it and the only reason there are any 'endless discussions' is when some higher management do not actually do their job and reply to the threads when members suggest ideas as we have seen lately including a great idea for a Habbox Council suggested by one of its own Managers?

Free speech which has always been a cornerstone of this forum appears to be getting more and more stifled.

I was thinking a similar thing, is it just to prevent us grouping together over a topic? , is one voice easier to quiet then a group

This should go in the complaints forum :rolleyes:

Free speech died out years ago on Habbox Forum. The management go into hiding while moderators and super moderators get the abuse. This doesn't feel like a community anymore, it's an orchestra of confusing rules and terrible management skills which, instead of sounding like Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell, it sounds like aload of children whacking aload of cheap instruments. There needs to be something done...

I think it's a good idea. Having only higher management reply will get things done a lot faster, get a straighter reply, avoid many pointless arguments and much more. When there was no complaints forum, complaint threads were lacking one thing - A reply from higher management. So hopefully that won't be the case anymore. Yes, users should be allowed their opinions on complaints about Habbox, but this idea might work if given a chance.

I think members should be able to choose weather their thread goes in the Complaints forum where only they and admins can reply or stays in "Habbox Feedback" where anyone can discuss, rather than all complaints getting moved to the complaints forum.

The complaints forum is a good idea but everyone should still be able to voice their opinion in the thread?

I argee with nick, i would want the public to help me (Coward ) me with something's if you know what i mean ;l


Also agree with ben!

Bad idea. If the higher management could reply to each thread in a complaints forum they can reply to the ones here, it makes no sense. To make myself an example, my thread about the forum games area has gone untouched upon by anyone with the power to change things, despite having a lot of feedback, discussion, explanation and the inclusion/support of a fair amount of staff. If they can't even be bothered to check out such a thread, why would they bother with a tiny complaint which could hold no more than one post? Also as others have said, it's easier to hush one voice than many.

To summarise, it's unnecessary because there's already a forum (here) for complaints and they don't even reply to that, let alone another one.

I think the only reason they won't the blimming complaints forum is so they don't have to go through large threads and read it all before coming to a conclusion.

So in short - they can hear the first persons argument and come to a decision and response based upon that.

However, that isn't the way Habbox should work and isn't the way it has worked. Some of the greatest developments on Habbox in the previous years have came through user discussion and input from several members - stemming off from one original idea. For instance, someone may post a good original idea but just not have constructed it very well - which other users could then add to to help improve the idea further and make it totally complete.

Likewise, if someone posts an idea then the management can see whether users are supporting it or rejecting it as they could maybe read a complain and act upon it even though the rest of the forum disagrees.

In conclusion, it is ultimately taking away one of our main and most important rights that we have witheld from the beginning of being Habbox members.

No, the management don't know what we want!
