Document:
Slack is a communication platform that is used for announcements, discussions and random chatting with HIA members.
Fill in the form in the Slack Application page. Make sure to fill in your Habbo username, HIA rank and email. You may also choose to go to the Help Desk in base and ask to be invited to Slack. The user you are speaking to will ask you to whisper your email to them. They will then get you invited to Slack.
I have filled out the form. What do I do next?
After submitting it, wait for your application to be accepted. Make sure to check your email from time to time. If your application is accepted, open the invitation email (example below) and click “Join Habbo Intelligence Agency”. Fill in the form (example below) with your Habbo username and an email you are comfortable with. If you did not get your invite after a while, find a Slack admin.
I got the invite email to the HIA Slack team. What do I do now?
Click the link given and follow the instructions given. Make sure your Slack username is the same as your Habbo username. After registering, go to your profile and fill in your HIA rank in the “What I do” section in your profile.
Note that if your Slack username is not the same as your Habbo username and or your rank is not present, your account will be deactivated for the safety of others.
Slack signup page. You will be redirected to this page after clicking “Join Habbo Intelligence Agency” in the invitation email. Please use your same Habbo username on Slack, this will make it easier for us to find you if we need to contact you for anything.
Keep in mind that Slack automatically inputs your e-mail as your Username if you did not change it when you first joined.
We encourage everyone to do this in the best interests of your safety.
Who are the Slack admins?
The Slack admins would be Foundation members, Directorate Team, all 1iCs, and any other iC members that have “SA” in their profile or as a tag. Approach any one of them if you have any inquiries about Slack.
What channels can I be in?
I have an announcement. Can I do it in #alerts?
No, you can’t. Only Slack admins can send messages in #alerts. If you have an announcement to share, direct message a Slack admin and they will put it in #alerts for you. Only Workspace Owners may use the @channel command in #alerts, so if your message needs to utilize this command, please inform a Workspace Owner. (Directorate +).
Are there any commands in Slack?
Yes, there is. You can click here for a list of Slack slash commands.
What can I post onto slack?
Only post content that abides by the Code of Conduct. You are allowed to post safe-for-work images, youtube links, or lightshot captures; however, it has to be appropriate and decent at all times and cannot be of mature, explicit or offensive content. Keep in mind that many Habbo users are younger individuals, so all posts made must be age-appropriate.
Are there any rules in Slack?
Your behavior on Slack must follow the Code of Conduct, the Slack Fair Policy located in the HIA Bully Policy, Slack Safety Guide, and all other HIA policies at all times, however, here are some more specific rules for using Slack.
§1 - Any discussions or topics that are not related to Habbo or HIA may not be discussed in #general. Conversations regarding anything other than Habbo or HIA are to be discussed in t#random, direct messages, and/or private channels that permit it.
§2 - New members to Slack must put their HIA rank in the “What I Do” portion of their profile. Usernames must also correlate with Habbo usernames.
§3 - Polls may be created in channels as long as they are appropriate to the channel (Only HIA related polls in #general for example). Polls may not be sent through direct messages unless approval from an iC a 1iC+ is given and it is an HIA related poll.
§4 - Social Media usernames, accounts, phone numbers, and other personal contact information are not to be placed anywhere on your Slack profile. If you wish for someone to have your contact information - give it to them privately, not on any public channels. Please refer to our Safety Guides for more information.
§6 - “Shading” - or “calling someone out” - whether indirectly or directly in any public chat is not permitted. If you have a concern over someone or their behaviour, feel free to message them directly or message an elective.
§7 - Non HIA related links are not to be posted in public channels (you may however share them in DMs if you wish). YouTube Links may be posted in #random or #media-discussions chats. Pictures are to be uploaded directly from your device if being posted in a public channel, and Google Forms/Docs/etc/Typeforms are permitted as long as they cover HIA related topics. If you are sending screenshots of various pictures, it is best to use imgur or lightshot and DM them to someone rather than a public channel. If you are unsure whether the link you wish to share is permitted in a channel, please message an elective.
§8 - Leaking private information from a Slack channel/DM (special unit, elective, etc) is cause for punishment depending on the severity of the infraction. If the information is meant to be private, keep it that way.
§9 - Gory, horror, sexually suggestive, substance usage/abuse, and/or any media deemed inappropriate or explicit for HIA (including but not limited to pictures, videos, audio, and or text) - that otherwise may be offensive or inappropriate - are not allowed in the HIA Slack workspace. Failure to comply will result in the deactivation of your Slack account along with other appropriate disciplinary consequences.
§10 - As stated above, all rules outlined in the Code of Conduct, Habbo Way, the Slack Fair Policy located in the HIA Bully Policy, Slack Safety Guide, and other HIA policies and guides are in full effect while chatting on Slack. If you have any serious questions or concerns DM a member of the Chief of Staff, the Chief of Directorate, or the Founder of HIA.
I have a question that is not covered by the guide. Who do I ask?
You can always ask a Slack admin or any CoS member if you need any help regarding Slack.
How do I fully see archived pinned messages in a channel?
*Please note this only works when using Slack on your laptop or computer and NOT on mobile. Do NOT attempt this method while viewing pinned messages when on Slack mobile.
As we are using a free plan on Slack, messages, including pinned ones, will get archived over some time. To look at the full text of an archived pinned message, you would have to hover on the message, and click on the “x” button at the top right of the preview of the message. A dialogue would then appear showing you the full message that was sent. When you are done reading, click either “Cancel” or the “X” button at the top right corner of the dialogue.
​You may copy and paste the message into your own direct messages at your convenience. Note, your direct messages to yourself will not disappear.
*Please DO NOT ever click on “Yes, remove this pinned item” as this will delete all of the information provided, making it irretrievable.
