What you would do if there was NO opposition...

[Nixt]

In the Meet the General Management event earlier, Jake asked an interesting question that I thought might create some interesting ideas or at least the basis of ideas. You can be as controversial as you like because it's all about what things you would do if no one would oppose it. I have put this in feedback because I would like to see some good come of it.

When posting though I ask one thing that I am going to enforce. If you make a point - back it up with why you would do it. So don't just post "I'd unban all members", tell us why. Otherwise this thread serves no feedback purpose. I'll simply remove posts that I think don't do this adequately and forum ban those who do it repeatedly, because it is essentially pointless posting!

Hopefully we can get some interesting and controversial ideas from this thread without it getting immediately shot down by management, and you never know - something good might come of it! When someone posts their suggestion, I will follow with one of my own .

[hah]

Fire the current forum manager.
Unfiler lmffao and omffg and many many other words that dont really cause offense
merge games with entertainment
merge comps and events
get rid of news
get rid of vip and just have donor (only feature would be a coloured username)
everyone 150x150 avatars and 700x300 sigs
everyone able to see rep
everyone able to edit there usertitle
better skins (less chunkyer ones and more slimline ones)
change the way staff structure is
get rid of assistant managers ( looks to me like the manager does nothing when there is one)
merge habboxlive site and habbox.com
ban all the mother ******* ugly sigs
merge all graphics forums then place them in general
move sports to entertainment.
fire all the content team ( dont see why you need so many tbh)
get rid of that "ex mgmt forum"
get rid of most of the staff forums ( staff dont seem to post on forums because they have them)

Merge the Trading section with the Habbo section so it was just one section, then have things like Super Rare Trading as subsections of it. I think it would look neater.

I agree with some of these, Graham. Obviously they are quite radical but yes, can you further yourself on how you'd changed the staff structure? I've always wanted to see the staff structure changed here for there to be a clear management, General Manager & Assistant General Manager, and then a Site Manager, Community Manager, Forum Manager & HabboxLive Manager & all the other dept managers.

I am going to expand on your Management one. Something I feel would receive a lot of opposition but I think on the whole makes sense. If I could, the structure would work something like this:

Senior Management

General Manager - Overall responsibility of all sites and departments.

Deputy General Manager - General Manager's direct assistant. In charge of day-to-day operational running of Habbox, the Forum and HxL.

Community Manager - Department Manager for Events, Competitions, HxHD and Rare Values and all things community.

Site Manager - In charge of Content, News and Graphics and general maintenance of the site.

Other

Forum Manager - in charge of running the Forum (overseen by General Manager and Deputy)

Radio Manager - in charge of running the Radio (overseen by General Manager and Deputy)

Assistant Community Management

Assistant Community Manager (Events) - in charge of the day to day running of the Events department and its staff.

Assistant Community Manager (Competitions) - in charge of the day to day running of the Competitions department and its staff.

Assistant Community Manager (HxHD) - in charge of the day to day running of HxHD and its staff.

Assistant Community Manager (Rare Values) - in charge of the day to day running of Rare Values and its staff.

Assistant Site Management

Assistant Site Manager (Content) - in charge of the day to day running of the Content department and its staff.

Assistant Site Manager (Graphics) - in charge of the day to day running of the Graphics department and its staff.

Assistant Site Manager (News) - in charge of the day to day running of the News Department and its staff.


Each Department would then be entitled to employ one or two Senior members of staff (depending on department size) who have very clear roles on what they do. It's not management but assistating the Assistant Manager on different areas.

It won't seem too different to the current system for most of you but in my head and if it were properly implemented I can see it benefiting as it would improve inter-department communication and really bring the Management team closer together. Assistant Community Managers would be able to see all Community forums and the same for Assistant Site Management. It would be a tighter knit and more effective Management team.

I am quite confident all of our current staff would hate it though .

you my friend, have read my mind! It's already on the cards - watch this space!

[Blob]

while your at it I think site coders should be separated from content designers

that would be nice, really annoying finding out too late what some other department's doing where you think 'hey, we could have helped with this'

What we used to do at Habbox back in 2006 was have big management meetings where we could discuss big projects, these were quite good for things like this.

@Oli

First thing i would do its remove the green names from sierk and jin (they arent active, yes the own the site but it makes it seem like the play a role in it) would give them vip or another colour but they would still have there powers init. Then it would go like this


(A ) GMS
General Manager
Deputy GM ( would deal with staff perms and running of habbox like garion said)
Site Manager
Community Manager

Managers
Forum Manager
Graphics Manager
Radio Manager
Rare Values Manager


HxHD would be gone and changed into a lounge where all managers would have rights. Competitions would be merged with events and people would be separated into Forum Events and Client Events. Mods would be able to infract staff (less face it they are not equal like seirk thinks they are). No assistant managers because they really arent needed.
