2 - Promotion Policy
Promoting people accordingly is key to the success of HDA. Therefore, there are certain guidelines which must be followed when promoting any individual.
2.1 - Promotion Procedure - Call them to F&C, do not F&C if the member is busy at their station, wait till they are finished. Make sure they are doing so correctly. If not, correct them. - Tell them why you feel like they need a promotion. - If promoting into a different division, tell them to request the appropriate badge. You must also train them. - Ask them to change their motto and ensure that their motto has been changed correctly. - Ask them to AE and log the promotion right away.
*PLEASE NOTE MEMBERS DO NOT NEED TO DO THESE HOURS IN ONE SITTING! FOR EXAMPLE - IF THE MEMBER IS IN OPERATIONS (1 HOUR PER PROMOTION) THEY CAN DO HALF AN HOUR ONE DAY, THEN HALF AN HOUR THE NEXT DAY.* Please also note that meeting the below requirements does not guarantee a promotion. These requirements are guidelines, however, they should be stuck to when possible. Promotions should never be given out before requirements are met, this may result in warning or further consequences.
2.2 - When to Promote If someone is a standard rank, they should be promoted after sitting at FTF for 10-15 minutes. If they are an Advertiser, they should be promoted every 45 minutes - 1 hour at FTF (single promotion), or per recruit (double promotion) they bring to HDA. For the promotion to count the Recruit needs to have at least the [HDA] Recruit motto and the HDA badge. This is to encourage them to go and scout. If in Security they should be promoted every 1 hour at FTF or every 30-45 minutes if Filling Security. If in Training they should be promoted every 1 hour at FTF or every 30-45 minutes if filling Training or after training 1 recruit.

If in Moderation they should be promoted once every week/receive a promotion once every 1 week(s).

If you are unable to do so, you must post a pending training log on the forums. - Only log promotions AFTER you have F&C'd them and they have successfully changed their motto. - Do not F&C someone who is getting promoted by another member.
3 - B.U.M. Policy
B.U.M stands for Badge, Uniform and Motto, respectively.
3.1 - Badge The groups that you join or are accepted into, such as Advertising or Training, are represented by certain badges. You are required to favourite the group of the division that you are currently in. This will appear in your mini-profile as your ‘badge’.
3.2 - Uniform - Uniform is vital to HDA as it distinguishes the standards from the High ranks. Without uniform, confusion would be among us. If you are told to wear uniform, you must wear your uniform as it is important in knowing who is what rank. Depending on your rank, there is something you will be required to wear. You must not wear anything else. - You also must not clone other members of HDA. Not only could it cause confusion - we all have our own unique style and creativity. However, you may twin other members. The difference between cloning is that cloning is copying the exact look of another member, and twinning is dressing similar to the user. - Once you reach Operations, you are allowed to wear whatever you desire. However, there are a few restrictions. All of the face must be visible therefore only people in 4iC+ may wear masks. You are required to wear a shirt and pants at all times. - Once you reach Operations+, you are not allowed to wear lower ranked uniforms to avoid confusion. Addition: Usernames All members working in HDA must abide by proper username for their Habbo accounts. An inappropriate username is something that could cause offence or harm, or is seen as inappropriate. If you find somebody with an inappropriate name but wanting to join as a Recruit, then you must tell them that they need to join with a different username. Addition: Effects Using an effect in any HDA room is against the rules. This also includes :habnam and :jump. You may be able to use effects on special occasions (e.g Halloween, Xmas) but this must be approved by a Founder. Dancing is also not allowed, unless in the events area and the host gives you permission to do so, or if it's part of a game.
3.3 - Motto Mottos are a part of our uniform here at HDA, as they help to identify each member. Below Operations are not allowed to have anything other than their rank in their motto whilst in base. Operations+ are permitted to use symbols and add words after their rank. However it must remain professional and neat. You will be asked to alter your motto if it is not deemed to follow the following rules: Below Operations division MUST follow this format - [HDA] RANK [TAG] Operations+ & Trial Ranks and/or recently Purchased Ranks - Can choose to use symbols instead of brackets, HDA must be uppercase, Tag must be visible. Other words and symbols can be used if kept professional & neat. BoD+ Symbols/Brackets dividing the motto optional Supreme Command/Elite Command+ Tag optional Every member(s) motto should look professional and neat.
You are always required to be wearing the right Badge, Uniform and Motto while in base. Not complying with the B.U.M policy when asked to can lead to disciplinary actions being taken against you. These rules apply to everybody, including iC members. If members repeatedly break any of these policies, they may face harsher disciplinary actions such as demotions. If done by iC members, things such as strikes may be handed out.
4 - In Base Guide
At HDA we have commands to keep order in base.
4.1 - Commands Please remember, you must not idle/AFK at any of these stations. FTF - Fill The Front. This is where you recruit new members, and let existing members in. FTB - Fill The Back. You are to report to the AFK seats, and wait for stations to become free. FT - Fill Training. You are to sit in one of the seats in Training and either train or be ready to train. FS - Fill Security. You are to sit in one of the security seats and monitor who comes into base. FTHD - Fill The Help Desk. Go to the help desk and help members that have any questions. Do not whisper at the help desk, unless discussing a private matter and/or complaint. Using the help desk for unnecessary matters and/or holding a conversation is not allowed, and you will be sanctioned. FTTD - Fill the Transfer Desk. Go to the transfer desk and transfer/assist any visitors. You must not whisper at this station. CTH - Clear The Hall. You are to clear the walking space located in the hallway, immediately. You can do so by filling any available station/going to FTB/going to the events area(only if all stations are filled already). F&C - Attention. Stand, wave and say “Yes sir/ma’am” depending on the gender. AE - At Ease. You are dismissed from F&C, you can continue working. BTB - Back to Base. This command is usually used during training or a meeting, this means you are dismissed and may return to base. Additional information: If you are sitting in the training area, there are some rules to follow: - Only sit in the training area if you have the intention to train recruits. - Never abandon a Recruit in the training room or training area. - Always remember to change the lights to the right colour and change the teleport to teleport one. If you are found breaking these additional rules, you will face consequences.
4.2 - Station policy
Always FTF before anything else! If there are 4 people at FTF, please FS. If there are 4 people at FTF and 2 people in security, please FT. Front desks are priority – when someone walks into base they should be greeted at the front, and never from supervising areas or security Sitting in the lobby is unusual – if you sit in the lobby, you can’t get promoted; so why not sit at a front desk, chat with your friends, and increase your chance of a promotion! Members in the divisions get priority over the seat - always give your seats up at FTF for standards, and your seat at FT/FS for members in those divisions. You must NEVER ask someone in security/training to give up their seat for you if you're not in the division. If you have nowhere to sit, go and advertise HDA! Help Desk: Help Desk should always be filled last, except from times where someone has an enquiry. All other stations have a priority over the Help Desk. Events Area: Do not sit in the Events Area in base if there is not an Event in progress. Events Area may be sat in if there aren’t any stations to fill whilst waiting for pay to begin. Events Area must be closed at all times except during the fore-mentioned times.
If you ever witness any conflict in base, you must report it to Internal Affairs with substantial evidence. Trying to resolve disputes doesn't always work well, so we have a team in place to deal with this OR use the following complaint form: tinyurl.com/hdacomplaints

6 - Disciplinary Action Policy
The disciplinary action policy includes a series of increasingly severe penalties for repeated offences, typically beginning with a verbal warning. These policies are in place to guide and help HDA members with their behaviour and/or keep misbehaviour in line, to prevent repeated actions.
HDA's disciplinary action policies are as follows:
6.1 - Warning policy
Warnings and strikes are issued as a punishment if someone is found to be breaking a minor rule. Only Operations+ members may hand out warnings to ranks lower than them.
How to issue a warning Call them to F&C (if they ignore your call for F&C, move onto step two). Explain to them why they are receiving a warning. Remind them if the behaviour continues they may be demoted or even fired. AE them and log the warning on the forums.
6.2 - Demotion & Firing policy
6.2.1 How to issue a demotion: Call them to F&C (if they ignore your call for F&C, move onto step two). Explain to them why they are receiving a demotion. Remind them if the behaviour continues they may be fired. AE them and log the demotion on the forums.

We would recommend taking screenshots to provide proof behind the decision made to log a warning. See 6.3. NOTE: You may only fire or demote someone that is 2 divisions below you. These actions are not considered valid till reviewed by the Director of Internal Affairs.
6.3 Evidence Submission Evidence must NOT be cropped, except to hide the web browser edges, Habbo credits and duckets indicator on the top right and the bar below the chat bar. All other parts of the Habbo window must be included. Please view imgur.com/r8WvOCx for an acceptable screenshot.

Internal Affairs are our Human Resources team and they deal with all in-base disputes. Meaning, they can distribute warnings and demotions to every rank except those higher than them. If they are having trouble with a rank higher than them, they should report it to a Founder.
6.5 - Complaints policy
All members of HDA have access to submitting a complaints form, which can help them anonymously report members who they find to be breaking the Code of Conduct in any manner. These complaints are reviewed by the iC of the Internal Affairs team, the information submitted to them is not privy to anyone other than the IA iC team and few other trusted members of the HDA. Complaints submitted will have no action taken against the accused, if :
The evidence provided is not sufficient. The accused has left the HDA.
You can submit a complaints form by going onto the following link: tinyurl.com/HDAComplaints, alternatively you can go to the help desk for further information.
NOTE: If the person behaves for 2 months without incident, the demotion/warning/complaints form may be cleared. If fired, they must wait 24 hours before they can rejoin as a recruit.
If a member is fired 3 times, they will automatically be placed on Do Not Hire. If this is needed, the Director of Internal Affairs will inform the Founders.
7 - RR holders and Badge Admins

If you are seen to abuse this trust, it will be removed and further action may be taken. As an RR holder, you must keep HDA safe from trolls, however, when kicking/muting/banning you must inform them of your intention before you do so. All users must also have warning(s) before applying any sort of moderation to them, especially if it's a minor rule being broken.

The rules stated in the Code of Conduct all still apply to HDA's official chats. Breaching these rules will result in appropriate sanctions, as well as being removed from the server for a certain amount of time. If you are a Chat Moderator, you have been given this privilege with trust, please do not abuse it. If it is that you abuse this trust, you will be sanctioned and it may be removed.
We also have voice calls on the HDA server. These are for socialising, making new friends, etc. If people are heard to be targeting other users, bullying or being nasty to anybody else, they will be removed from the server and disciplinary actions will be taken.
12 - Pay Procedure
Pay happens three times a day - 10am GMT, 7pm GMT and 2am GMT. The amount received will depend on your rank within HDA. Standards receive 1c per pay. Advertisers, Trainers and Security Members receive 2c per pay. Operations+ members receive 3c per pay. Leadership+ members receive 4c per pay. You can find a list on what time pay is done in different countries, by clicking here. Here at HDA, one can be paid or promoted at pay time. However, you cannot collect both at the same time.
The Daily Pay Badge is a badge which allows members to be paid. Once a member has this badge, he/she is free to join the pay line, at pay time. To acquire the pay badge, one must complete the divisional requirements for their respective divisions, which can be found under the Pay Badge Request thread on our forums. You must fulfill your requirements before requesting the pay badge.
In order to collect at each pay time, you must re-earn this daily pay badge. For example, if you are to collect pay at 1st pay (10AM GMT), your pay badge will be removed and you are allowed to work again to re-earn it for the next pay. Once it hits 3rd pay 2AM GMT, the pay badge completely resets and everyone gets removed regardless of if you've collected pay. You will need to work for the badge again for the new working day.
If you leave the base straight after you receive pay, you will be placed on pay ban for 24 hours. Pay ban is where one cannot collect pay or promotion, despite fulfilling their divisional requirements or not. Once a member is on pay ban, he/she cannot claim pay or promotion.
You can also choose the receive a promotion (sometimes double) instead of pay at a pay time. Please remember you can only collect one promotion or coin payment at each pay time. If you collect both pay and promotion at the same pay time, it is considered a serious offence and you will be placed on Pay Ban. We also have a bonus weekly pay badge, which if earned you can collect any time from the 1st pay on a Sunday up until the last pay on Sunday. Once last pay on Sunday has been conducted the Bonus Pay badge will reset. To acquire this badge you need to earn 35/40 working points, depending on the badge. For information regarding earning this badge, visit the bonus pay badge section in the forums.
Additional Information: - Pay Badge Requests always close 10 minutes before pay. - To be able to receive pay, you will need to have your trading pass unlocked. You must be able to trade to receive pay. - Advertisers - Training/Security Members do not have to request on the forum for their pay badge requests, but they can do so if they want. Alternatively, members in these divisions may go to the help desk in order to get their pay badge. - Operations+ must request on the forums for their pay badge requests as well as the badge inside badge, this is not optional. - Pay Badge Admins still have to request their pay badge on forums, even though they are admin. If a Pay Badge Admin is found breaking this rule, they will have their rights taken away from them and be warned or demoted.
13 - Forum Policy
Members ranked Advertising+ are required to have a forums account, and they must abide by the following rules. It is required that all activity must be logged on the forums correctly (promoting, training, transferring, recruiting), otherwise your activity will be considered invalid. When on HDA's forums it is important not to bully others, as it will lead to appropriate action being taken. We have forum moderators and administrators in place to remove people if necessary. Anything negative you do on the forums, could reflect back onto your rank.
Note: If the member cannot/does not make an account, they will be placed on payban until they create an account. They will also not be able to be promoted further, unless they create an account. If they refuse to create an account, they can no longer work at HDA.
14 - Badge Requesting
If there ever comes a time where you promote someone into a division and there are no badge admins available to accept the badge request, YOU MUST STILL TRAIN THEM.
14.1 - Badge Request procedure Create a badge request on the forums, you can do so here. Use the recruit training room to train the member you have promoted. It is crucial that a member still receives training, even if their badge isn't accepted.
You can also request in the request section of our Discord server, but please do not spam or abuse the respective tags. A badge admin will be able to accept the badge request as soon as they can.
Please note, if your trainee leaves during training you must also create a separate log for pending training on the forums - you can do so here.
