Is HabboxForum Trying To Make An Excuse To Make Money From Reputation Points?

[Wizzdom]

Surely Reputation Points Should Be Earned By Good Posting and Other Things That Is Worth Rep ?

I Think Its A Bit Wierd That Your Allowed To Buy Rep?

You Could Be A Great Spammer But You Can Buy Alot Of Rep

Ridiculous Really :P

Sorry To Those Who Disagree

[YellowParasol]

Im Confused... Your allowed to Buy Rep?

[benjamin]

Yes, because it will get them money to help run Habbox. that was obvious. :rolleyes:

YellowParasol - check announcements ;D

[allykin]

enit carpi u go boi♥

[dannyboymed]

Bit of yes, and bit of no. I'm not on either side, but I don't really like the idea.

You talkin bout me n ross ? :rolleyes:
Nahh i earn my rep but its like a bonus for buying vip isn't it?

[TealArms]

It is not a way of making money and many members asked Jackhb if they were allowed.

[0verRide]

well i think so, i think its really pointless. you deserve rep from a good idea/fact/post, thats the only good reason, (no offence to anyone who will buy the rep) but then your just sad..

[Wizzdom]

enit carpi u go boi♥
dusnt sound ryt dus it?

lol thanks :P

I think Habboxforum is GREAT but what a ridiculous thing to do >?

[TealArms]

but, people are always saying " vip dont have enough things" so there is somthing you have but others dont

[ross]

Nah it's not a stupid idea actually.

People can buy rep if they want. Habbox will keep running then.

Some people who talk ALOT of truth in posts get bad rep for it, so it's a good idea.. it's there now, so there's no point in argueing about it.

Also, you must know alot of VIP's requested it, so I'll think you find, most of Habbox will back it up. (VIP's)

[Seacat]

Reputation points are now available to buy due to alot of VIP members requesting it. It isn't actually making more money, as most people bought HUGE amounts of VIP (I think one had VIP until 2016 or something?) purely for the reputation points.

Being able to buy reputation points means that people can get the high amount of reputation without having to subscribe to VIP for lots of years, and as reputation points are cheaper than VIP, it works out cheaper for that person -- There's one bit of proof it isn't for the money.

The second bit is, if we did it purely for the money, then why didn't we let every Forum Member buy them? Alot of people who aren't VIP would like to buy reputation points, so if it was for the money we would of enabled them to do this.

Essentially it isn't for the money, it's simply another feature for Habbox V.I.Ps, suggested by many V.I.Ps :).

[Dupion]

Its good if you want to build up on your reputation on here ;)

[nets]

The great spammers already have a lot of rep.

[Wizzdom]

but, people are always saying " vip dont have enough things" so there is somthing you have but others dont

yes thats true but why do you have to PAY for them extra things when you have already bought VIP ;)

personally i think VIP has enough things and shouldnt be changed :)

but who ever created this idea was mad :P (no offense) :P

but its a good idea to make money

[TealArms]

well said seacat, and i think it was klock who said that people who speak the truth get alot of bad rep, well i probly will get bad rep for sticking up for habbox anyway dont forget people can only buy 360 or somthing

[ross]

The maximum someone can have is 540.

And, once they've got 540. They can't BUY anymore.

Needless to say they can still earn it.

[Lissie152]

Lol some loser who reps themselves :P
Lol sorry but its pretty umm..sad.

[TealArms]

ye so how many rep blocks is that? 4 or 5? habbox are not making you buy it

[Wizzdom]

Lol some loser who reps themselves :P
Lol sorry but its pretty umm..sad.

very sad....and very riduculous

[$@m]

Where does all this money go to?

[Wizzdom]

towards habboxforum maybe....maybe some could go to children in need :P

[Rarelime]

I think it's just another way to get money out of you. Reputation points should be earned, not payed for. It defeats the object of "Reputation".

[Rebuild]

Rep should be earned... :l

Exactly, it defies the point of the reputation system.

[Rawr]

Well it's a very easy to way to get money as on forums rep=everything. I personally won't be buying any as your buying reps for yourself (which is sad) and i think all reps should be earned.

[Steph]

The second bit is, if we did it purely for the money, then why didn't we let every Forum Member buy them?
Because if a non VIP member wanted to buy some reputation points, then they would HAVE to buy VIP in order to buy them.
I think it's a silly idea. When you get reputation points its often for a reason, and you won't be able tell apart the people who have earned them to the people who have bought them. Also, some people may use them irresponsibly.

[TealArms]

some parts are good, like for a birthday present to someone you could give them rep

[$@m]

You say some should go to children in need as a joke? Children are starving as you make those petty jokes >;(

[Wizzdom]

wow Mattus i actually agree with you for once :o

Sam you know what day it is today? i think she means that but i know what you mean, lol also to buy more then the set amount you just need to go on a clone

[$@m]

Glad to hear, sorry I miss interprated.

[Rawr]

wow Mattus i actually agree with you for once :o

Because you love me. :d

[Wizzdom]

Yep sure....lol :P

[kasi]

yes they are. duh. you just figure that out?

[Wizzdom]

Well said habbox are money hungry
all of the money goes to seacat or sierk or any administrator so they can buy habbo furni with it

[RedStratocas]

Why does it bother you though? Rep doesnt matter, if people want to buy it, let them. Its like people complaining on habbo that its unfair with HCs getting furni and clothes and rooms and non-HCs dont, even though the HCs paid for it.

[.Lynn]

People who are buying rep are just waisting money.

[Luayminator]

I hate it hate it hate it, and this is true : DONT ASK FOR REP dont have I rep you back in your signitures, and random repping is not allowed because repping is for good posts" say the admins, now they let you buy rep ! PATHETIC.

[-Acidic]

You should earn rep, not buy it!

[Sygon]

Its a stupid idea it ruins the whoel rep system and for 1 month of vip you can 15 vips points anyway how stupid

[NekkLe]

I guess it does defeat the fact that earning rep would be pointless when you can buy it. Rep is about earning your reputation, you could be a complete idiot and still have a good rep.
However, HabboxForum is a small buisiness, they have to make there money in order to keep the site alive, keep it safe for there members, making money for that I think is perfectley normal.

V.I.P is there if you want it, you don't have to buy it, people choose to buy it for the added features you get with it.
The rep system could be changed and it would then suit alot of members, there reputation would only suit them as a member, earning it would be more exciting :p

[Rawr]

Well i'm certain will buy them selves some reps, but i wouldn't as i think it should be earned. I think habbox earn enough from VIPs anyway but it's always good to have a little extra on the side. ;)

[Wizzdom]

lol ... extra on the side :P wow people dont like this do they :o

[Rawr]

lol ... extra on the side :P wow people dont like this do they :o

People don't like you Chris. Well only me but shhh ;)

[Wizzdom]

How Dare Yew >:( :( :P about the subject plzeh Mattus!

Get your facts right...
The money does not go to anyone, it goes into the Habbox Paypal account where it is used to pay for all the hosting/domains/expenses.
Habbox has:
www.habboxtv.com
www.habbox.com
www.habboxforum.com
www.habboxforum.us
www.habbox.us
www.habboxlive.com
www.habboxcanda.com

Now try to imagine how much bandwith this forum uses just on its own...if you saw how much you would be gobsmacked - and the more bandwidth you have there more the hosting costs ;)
So do you really think we can use the money to go out buying furniture for ourselves?

Maybe instead of jumping to the first thing that comes to your head...actually try asking me or seacat why we set it up.

And we set up buy rep because lots of old vips and new vips have asked y cant they buy rep.

If we wanted money then we would open it to the whole of the forum not just to 300/15000

im with you there for some of it and some if it i disagree...

[GommeInc]

You should earn rep, not buy it!
I strongly agree. Habbox Forum has destroyed the meaning "Reputation." Since when was spending money on something considered to raise your reputation? Some of these VIPs are dumbies "/



And we set up buy rep because lots of old vips and new vips have asked y cant they buy rep.

Then ignore the little whiners and tell them to earn it like normal people do!

obviously you make a big profit though; seeing as it wouldnt take that much to pay for all of those sites.

massive debate going on here huh
