Hey,
Main Idea!:
I know we have been trying to cut down on server load, but I think this idea may be good.
Basically I think there should be two sub-forums for competitions ~ one for habbo prizes and one for Forum prizes. I think this should be done as many users to not actually play habbo anymore, but would like the chance to win VIP. This would also make it easier to check that competitions are being made equally for both usergroups of the forum.
Many users complain about not having enough chance to get VIP, and it is even worse as lets be honest, nobody wants to check every competition thread to see if it is habbo or non-habbo prizes. This would also encourage more people to go into the competitions, as at the moment the only users that really go into the Competition forum are habbo players. that would like some more 'furni'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extended Idea!:
Adding on to my main idea of having a competitions forum for both habbo and non-habbo users..
I think the Competitions department could also have Habbo and Non-Habbo Competition Staff.
The ranking would work like this:
Habbo Competition Staff ____\
------------------------------> Senior Competitions Staff > Deputy > Manager
Non Habbo Competition Staff /
Senior Competition Staff would be expected to do both habbo AND non-habbo competitions.
So how would this help?: I think this would be a good idea, as it may encourage non-habbo users on the forum to apply for Competitions Staff as they won't have to do anything based on habbo. It could also be good as you won't end up with all the department only posting for Habbo, ignoring the non-habbo part of the community.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't have a go if you don't like the idea, Constructive Criticism is welcome though. Obviously not everyone will like this, but I just think it will be easier for everyone, not only that though, it will give users who do not play habbo, more of a chance to get VIP.
Thanks for reading,
Dom
