Radio & Events

[LiquidLuck.]

So as events organisers we're supposed to let the DJ know about our event so they can advertise it on air and change the ''DJ says''. I just asked the DJ to do so and his answer was ''It's not 10 yet i'll change in 7mins''...

Advertising it's supposed to be done before the hour.. Can't you make it a rule for the DJ to HAVE to update it?

Considering the DJ usually changes at the start of the hour, we can't really expect the previous staff member to update it too. The person on air whilst you're hosting must advertise, but they have no obligation to attend. Given the context, it might be a bit pedantic if they're refusing to update it, but I can't see any issues at the minute!

Okay I'm not sure if you was paying attention but the DJ Says was updated 5mins before, although whats the use in advertising an event that isnt in progress. People will hear the DJ say the event when it's actually in process so yeah.

ADvertising is the use. I need people to know the event is happening because it's ACTUALLY happening. WHy do you think EO's post in the CNB sometimes 30mins before their events? For the exact same reason.

The previous DJ can update it before the hour. Gives them lots of time. And I'm not saying they should attend it, obviously they don't. And no idea what pedantic means anyway.

They post 30mins before because it gives users on the forum a better chance to see, but the radio is live and they can hear it. If I say search 'Blah for Blah' 10 mins before, the host of the event would get mad, they might have some things to set up.

Lots of people read ''DJ says'' and it works a bit like cnb. That's why it should be updated before the event starts.
And if the EO doesn't ask you to advertise then don't. But I specially asked to update it like 10mins before and nothing was done.

Although some thing was done.

Anyway if they is an event going on at 9 and I change the DJ says to a different event 10 mins earlier like you asked.. it wouldn't work. The rules are for DJ's 'You must advertise official Habbox Events when they start'.

Because the event before wouldnt have any players for the last 10 mins.

First there weren't any events before.
Second of course it would. Players don't do everything they are told in HxL and they wouldn't leave and event just because another one is starting in 10mins. But those 10mins where the event would be advertised in the ''DJ says'' would be 10mins where people would get to know the event and be there as soon as it starts.
Instead, if the ''DJ says'' gets updated only when the event starts, it'll take even more minutes for people to know about the event and for them to come..
