Workers of FIB #4: New DU Members
The Disciplinary Unit (DU) has gathered their new members in the past couple of weeks. These are the new members we look up to as role models in the agency. They are expected to be on their best behavior all the time and discipline whoever does wrong to the agency. Since then, FIB has been very proud of this unit for keeping up with the expectations and standards set upon them. Let’s give our special thanks to the Zeytah, Jacks, and Sarah- for being interviewed by our lovely JKHyeon!
DU is a group of F.I.B members dedicated to keeping the agency user-friendly. Furthermore, they can take serious action upon anyone who wishes to break the rules. What things can you bring to the unit?
Zeytah: I have a split-sided personality, meaning there are times I muck around and kick back, and other times I can easily be strict and apply order when it's needed. This being said, I believe this type of personality is needed for such a unit because the DU is mostly seen as the “peacemaker” group. With me, when someone acts up and knows they're doing wrong, I typically don't bring “kindness” into the situation, as I believe that trait shows weakness in a person, which isn’t really a trait that is needed when dealing with troublesome situations. Not trying to offend anyone, obviously.
Jacks: Hmm, I think that I’m disciplined enough if needed and that will be plus for helping the unit to keep the agency user-friendly, and, of course, discipline (obeying all the rules, even if it don't have much effect for the agency). By “don't have much effect,” I mean like even simple rules like laying and sitting.
Sarah-: As a member of the Disciplinary Unit, my main aim is to provide a healthy and controlled working environment. It is up to myself, and the rest of the DU team, to control any breaches of policy, thus doing so in a professional way ensuring the needs of the many is placed at a higher level than the needs of the individual. To this unit, I can bring my positive attitude, level head, and problem-solving skills to ensure the best, and nothing but the best is provided to our workers.
With a new version of Habbo currently being used by Habboon means new exploits and ways to troll, what can you do to prevent them as new DU members?
Zeytah: As a DU member, we are obliged to warn these trollers at least once before taking/calling for action. If an individual continues to do so after warnings are given, we then take action and deal with the user subsequently (by kicking/banning or muting the user).
Jacks: First, I ask them to stop (e.g., “no colored chat, please”). If they still do it, I warn them, telling what will happen if they still do it and ask their reason for doing it (e.g., talking, depends on the situation). If they still repeat doing that, I take proof (starting from warning) and ask who have RR to kick them. If they back and do it again, I log a permanent ban and ask someone to ban. In reality, I’m still in the process of asking them to stop and asking someone to kick them if they still do it repeatedly.
Sarah-: Working together we can make users understand our ways and rules. With strict policies on these rules, we can easily enforce ways to maintain people with trolling tendencies.
With that in mind, will Disciplinary Unit break expectations in this year?
Zeytah: I believe that with the arrival of new faces in DU, we can surely break expectations if we commit and dedicate ourselves to our jobs and roles within our unit and FIB.
Jacks: I know many people see discipline in the process (e.g., when DU strike/fire/warn people). That means they feel like DU is too strict and disturb their pleasure to have fun. But if they see the result of disciplinary action, I’m sure they will be surprised, because from outside, discipline isn't important and doesn’t disturb the fun things they want to do. If they obey the rules, they will see the results; it will be very comforting, and it helps you much to do anything there. They will feel the DU action function on the result when no one breaks the rules. But yeah, it depends on the person, what they think about it, and their purpose
Sarah-: We are continuously trying to come up with new ideas and ways to improve FIB. We can only hope that by the end of the year we have a FIB that is one happy... and sometimes dysfunctional family. So with the help of my team members breaking expectations is highly possible!
