LMAO at this answer for my CFH...

[Lewizz!]

I reported these two guys for offensive swearing, and got this reply. I think it's a a bit random ;o

I wonder what MOD that was..!

Sorry if old or stupid, feel free to move thread :D

[Nick-]

So basically what theyre saying there is no matter how much we swear and curse they wont ban us unless they catch us in the act as reporting us just gets the response to ignore them :P

I got a similar answer to this but it was rather snappy i must admit, think it was something like 'theres an ignore button you know'

Edit: I have a feeling this will get moved as the thread made by Greig, was, also going by his thread this looks like a frequent occurance, perhaps an auto response :s
Thats just lazy :rolleyes:

[-T]

Thats an automatic reply now, if you report anybody for avoiding the filter or swearing, etc.., than you will get that, basically like Nick said, they will only ban you if they catch you, because there to lazy to go through the logs.

[aviator]

All this is saying is that instead of clogging up the CFH system with Habbo´s being offensive. It´s easier just to click IGNORE. Habbo is basically trying to send the message accross that the IGNORE button isnt for show, use it.

[Pompous-User]

A MOD with something wrong with its head. Probably.

[Nick-]

Ah well, i used to think MODs were on my side, but now everytime someone cant take being kicked and floods the room with some sort of obscene comment i just have to click ignore :rolleyes:

[Pyroka]

Why does the name "Dionysus" leap into my head whenever i look at that message...

Yes, but it is almost hypocrytical of the article recently published in the Community section about bans. As far as I can see, if someone is swearing and being offensive, you put that person on Ignore and report them. Swearing and being generally obscene is a bannable offense, so why send a reply telling people to just put them on ignore?

Yes, it's easier to tell everyone to put that person on Ignore, but why then say you ban people for swearing? I've seen a lot of complacency towards bans recently (i.e, "I don't need to stop swearing because I'm not going to be banned"), because MODs either seem to be:
a) Too linient.
b) Not applying punishment for the "lower priority" offences.

The Ignore button is supposed to be a short-term fix, until that person is banned, because it is understandable that CFHs can not be dealt with in an immediate frame of time. The Ignore button, however, should not replace the need to send a Call For Help. If someone has broken the Habbo Way, no matter how major or minor the offence, "put that Habbo on Ignore" should not be the only option. The Habbo Way is directly involved with the banning system. It is like the law is directly involved with criminals and punishment.

To reiterate: if MODs don't want the CFH system clogged up with "X is swearing/being racist", then they can do nothing about it, unless the Habbo Way is changed. Ignore is a quick fix, but the offending Habbo should still be reported, and still be punished for their actions.

Edit: Something I noticed whilst reading the message again, was that in sending that reply, the Moderator can not have banned the offending Habbo. "You can make offensive chat disappear" is hardly the solution. It is the Moderator's job to punish that Habbo for their actions. I do however, take into account that the offending Habbo may have been sent a warning.

That is very good answer +rep

[Vibe]

Moderator's do there job well then dont they :rolleyes:

[Helc]

It's just a basic message telling you to use your ignore button. As for other CFH's you send in. You will get a reply saying the same. To use the ignore button :)

[Shatterstar]

I got that message the other day when I reported someone for swearing.

I just hope they ban the person as well as telling us to ignore them..

[Pompous-User]

Moderators tell others to ignore an inappropriate users because the MODS are too lazy to get off their backsides and sort the situation out. Ignoring someone doesn't the problem entirely.

[Barmi]

As I said in my earlier post. ;)

Edit: Something I noticed whilst reading the message again, was that in sending that reply, the Moderator can not have banned the offending Habbo.
To clarify: why would a Moderator send a reply saying "click on that Habbo and click Ignore", if they had banned the offender? If the offender was banned, then you could not click on them, let alone ignore them. ;P

[Diff]

The ignore campaign is coming to Habbo, you may have noticed it in MODs or X's missions. Basically, it's to encourage Habbos to press ignore when people are 'low level swearing', instead of reporting it.

Yes, but that's not the point. Swearing is swearing, regardless of what level it is on.

Vulgarity - includes: swearing, avoiding the filter, unacceptable rooms or behaviour in rooms, unacceptable Habbo names, unacceptable discussion or unacceptable ascii art. Usually these bans are 2 hours. If it's a repeated ban or if a Habbo uses extreme vulgarity, the ban can be up to 7 days or more. In some extreme instances, Habbos will be permanently banned.
Note: swearing, avoiding the filter. Vulgarity is a bannable offence, and to me that does not distinguish between "minor" and "major" swearing. Where do you draw the line? Why is there a rule for one and not the other? Even if it is "low level swearing", as you put it - it is still swearing, and is still avoiding the filter. Can you explain a bit further please? If Habbo are introducing a scheme like this, then they must make an article of some sort publicly available for people to be able to distinguish between the "types of swearing".

But that keeps bringing me to the point - even if you are saying there are different levels of swearing, it is still swearing, and therefore still a bannable offence. Are Habbo going to post a list of "allowed swear words". If there is a liniency introduced over swearing, then certain words will become more widespread in their usage.

MODS are pathethic, I called 40 Times for help once - Yet ive had no answer to this day..

It even takes MODS forever to close Scripted Rooms.

Although ive noticed that when a Hate room is made about one of the Hotel Staff and its full, the MODS close and Ban that very quickly.

[Day.]

Yes I think it's abit wierd tbh but I found an Article that Becs wrote about it for Habbodown.com Here is the link if you want to read it http://www.habbodown.com/full.php?id=1343 It's an interesting read. Also I think she said in that recent talk show that there was going to be a big Ignore Campaign Starting on the UK site. Take a read.

[Lozzoling]

i think its silly reporting someone for swearing,they're right, just ignore them

[Barmi]

Yes, but I wasn't talking about what you think, to be brutally honest. It is a forum, so I will respect your opinion, but I was talking about what is. I was talking about the Habbo Way as it stands.

I also took another look at the CFH tool.

Whether or not you think it is right to report someone for swearing, it is against the Habbo Way, and thus if someone is swearing, they can be banned for it. Especially in light of the recent article on bans, in the community section of the site.

When the Ignore tool was introduced, it was (as far as I could understand) never intended to replace bans for those who broke the Habbo Way. If you took the time to read the numerous guides that were in the newsletter about the Ignore button, it gave you a simple number of steps.
1. Ignore the individual.
2. Report the individual.

Two simple steps isn't hard - but now it seems they are wanting to take the second step out. I am asking why. Why remove the emphasis from reporting someone engaging in vulgarity when it is explicitly stated in the "About Bans" article published by the Hotel Manager?

To reiterate: regardless of opinion, it is against the Habbo Way to swear, and stated to be a bannable offence. But why decide that ignoring is a better option? Surely removing the 1 offender will prevent the other 24 people in the room from having the put him on ignore. What if they offender reloads the room? Ignore is a short term fix, but is not the solution. Even banning is a short term solution if they are a general griefer and use accounts purposefully for spamming in rooms, but it is more long term than Ignore.

Edit: I do understand that rather than "baiting" people into breaking the Habbo Way, just to get them banned, you should put them on Ignore. That is common sense which is to be emphasised by this new scheme. However, if someone breaks the Habbo Way in the first place, do you pretend they haven't done anything? It is almost hypocrytical if you look at the number of guides and articles that have been published over the past 4 years, relating to the Habbo Way and bans. If someone is breaking the Habbo Way, which Habbos (and quite possibly their parents) are aware of, why should it be a victim's responsibility to put the offender on Ignore? It should be the Moderator's responsibility to punish the offender. Why should someone leave a room because someone is griefing about them? Okay, let's put them on Ignore. Oh, and they decide to reload room over and over. If you are playing a game in a room, are you going to try and click on their name every time they load, just to click Ignore?

Someone with sense at last :D

Barmi I understand, I was just saying what I know. We have to report swearing non-stop in my help centre, and I agree with your opinion. But MODs get a lot of calls so they are telling people to use the Ignore

I understand what you're saying. ;P Don't shoot the messenger and all that.. ^_^

[Aitken]

After you have sent the CFH about someone swearing the mod will send something like that back. The Mod will then take a look at the chat log to see on what level the swearing was. if its quite bad they will recive a ban, if not, maybe a warning and a user note added to there acount?

I understand what barmi is saying tho. if you swear = breaking the habbo way = 2 hour ban. that is what has been around since like day 1 on habbo.

I was in the WL yesterday and the usual afro guys where blocking. i know for a fact that LOADS of ppl sent CFHs and got that messege. and i came back a good 30min later, they where still there. so how is ignoring a blocker going to do anything??!! by ignoring them i cant sudenly walk through habbos =/

[superstar911]

my sis waz being harassed so me and her both reported the harasser

the mod replied to me

dont clog the report system or i will ban you and by the way just hit ignore

then i sent another 1 to them saying

is by pm and room chat and he keeps following her

and i got the reply

never use this call for help again im far to busy for your childish behaviour i will ban you if i see you using this again

so i reported it to sulake who told me another email to send it to

which told me that habbo mods are fullly trained and quailified and to me to log off habbo if i didnt want my sis being harssed

but oh well

lolz

I found this hilarious when I got it. TWO MONTH'S AGO.

Totally agree with you. + Rep It is Habbo's responsibility to sort out the rule breaking and my view is that the 'ignore' button useful for flooders and thats about all. Anything else of a serious nature should be reported to Habbo.
I wonder if it is Habbo policy or just some of the moderators taking it upon themselves to take the easy way out.

[Humiliated]

That is hmm, a weird reply as when i report somebody swearing, they never answer or ban, they shud have cameras in every room..

[brandon]

they shud have cameras in every room..
I hope you are joking.. :P

Totally agree with Barmi, pretty stupid.
