Should HxHD be scrapped and COMPLETELY turned into a lounge?

[Hecktix]

Hi

The thread about Habbox Help Desk Staff inactivity has clearly shown that a lot of people have views on the current state of the Help Desk and many arguments about it are being raised there.

But for me it comes down to one thing... the desk shoudl be scrapped and turne completely into a lounge.

I know a lot of staff have been claiming the desk is actually a lounge but it isn't. The only reference to it being a lounge is in the thread posted by nvrspk in JANUARY. The name says [HxHD] Habbox Help Desk, it's referred to as habbox help desk. So cut the crap it is still a help desk!

If it was a fully-fledged lounge, there would be no need for staff (therefore the problems would be erased). This thread isn't for the discussion, that is obviously in the inactivity thread. This thread is just a poll to show whether or not people think HxHD should become the Habbox Lounge.

Even if it was a lounge you'd need staff to moderate the room.

Yeah i think it should be, i thought that was the whole idea of when it was changing into a supposed "Lounge" but there really isnt the need for 13 or what ever amount of staff there is.
Obviously most the HxHD staff will vote no but yeahhh.

I like that idea, actually. But you would still need staff to moderate it. It would almost be the same. Just no longer classed as a help desk.

Although, occassionally some people do arrive and need genuine help. I dont see the problem with it being kept as it is. So I dont really care either way. I only go there to talk to friends. So it wouldnt make any difference to me.

Forgive me if i'm wrong, but that's what moderators are for? If people are misbehaving, they'll be dealt with?

That is a good point, although i still think 1 or 2 "Room moderators" would be a good idea.
Since leah said one of the main jobs they do is moderate the room.

The staff aren't there for the sole purpose of helping they are room moderators mainly which is why most of the work done there now is kicking banned users and enforcing rules.

1 or 2 wouldnt do. Im thinking more like 6. Because people arent online or active all the time. Obviously people from different timezones, would allow it to be moderated round the clock.

I don't think it should.
Like it's been said before, there is still a small demand for help desks.
The room has already been changed so it's more of a lounge than a desk?

hmm. I might contradict myself. Nobody really comes in genuinely needing help. It's already used as a lounge mainly. So It'd probably be better as Habbox Lounge instead. Then more competitions could be run?

[brandon]

I vote YES.

I think it should stay the same, there isn't a lot of fansite help desks around so it would make Habbox more unique for having one. There is also still a demand for Habbos wanting help. I think it's fine as it is for the time being!
