What age should hobbas be?

[Kannae]

Do you think hobbas should be older or younger? Let me know your views

[Mined]

I think that 16 Is a good age,

[Kannae]

Yeah I think that is aswell. It would be good because many people can loose interest before 18

[:-Mystical.Dave-]

I agree 16, maybe even 15, cuz at 17-18 they are studying hard to get into university (in Canada) and once in university wont care about Habbo/Have time for Habbo. So Lower the Age Limit!
:lol:

[andrew]

I agree, I agree. I think 15-16 would be a great age to become a Hobba, not too young, not too old.

Or they could make like Hotel Guides at age 13, same as the Hobba System on .com

[Fingerboots]

16, I think. Because you can do most things legally by then and you are mature enough.

:lol:

I agree. Once you are getting older you have to work more harder to go to collage and things like that. :D

How u know they going to collage? They can be a lazy bum and just sit on the couch eating tv dinners and watching The Simpsons... :p

[Kannae]

Well thanks guys for you debates so far, keep 'em coming :)

[RareWolf]

i dont know its good with 18 cause people are older and betta x)

[RareWolf]

hobbas was 16, but then it went up 2 18 o.O

[GommeInc]

I think 16, you are allowed to buy a lottery ticket, allowed to you know what, and you have more trust and considered young adult.

Also, the bobba filter should be less strict. They say it's a teenager environment yet they treat us like 4 year olds with pointless banned words.

Yes I understand about the filter but there are little sneakies who shouldnt use such language!

[RedStratocas]

I believe they should get rid of some words, but some they should more strongly enforce. The big F and S should not be tolorated at all, and the filter should be better to prevent those ones. Other than that I get what you mean. Since the world has gone ghetto, kids think it is cool to say a swear. Swearing doesnt offend me, it just annoys me when little kids think they are tough when using the words.

I think the hobba age should be lowered, but the US age should be highered. US- 14-15, UK- 15-16 (Uk is higher because the responce to the hobba aplications would be overwhelming.)

[MyHeartBleeds1]

Well thanks guys for you debates so far, keep 'em coming :)
I think that hobbas should be 16. This will teach those responsibility as long as everyone is good.

Filter, well yes its well too strict even rods filtered :s. and im not sure your still studying btween 16 + so i don't really no :s

[Rarelime]

I think that hobbas should be 18+, this is becuase most 18 year olds have finished school and sixth form etc.

[Nia12]

I personally think hobbas should be payed members of staff, giving that much power to someone who maybe have only been on habbo for a few months is silly. And for age, take it from what i have just said, i don't think a normal habbo should be able to become a hobba, think about it, it takes a long time to become eligable to become one, how many friends do they make a long the way (it don't take a lot for your freind to ban someone).

[Max]

16, I think. Because you can do most things legally by then and you are mature enough.
Not everyone is mature at 16, some go wild when they turn 16. I think they should prove that they can be trusted.
I think you can start as an hotel guide at 14/15 then at 16 you can be a real hobba, if you proved to be a good habbo.
Like others said, you lose your interest in habbo around 17/18 and you need to study.

[Seacat]

I think it should be 17.

They say the age limit to be a hobba is 18 because people under 18 aren't responsible enough. The age limit to drive in the UK is 17 years old, and I consider driving to be a position with alot more responsibility than being a Hobba. :s What do you think?

[hellzfrost]

I think it should be 15-16 becuase me, personally, I would loose interest in Habbo by the time I'm 18...

[Seacat]

At 15-16 you're in your last years of secondary school, and have your GCSEs. I think been a Hobba would make you spend alot more time on Habbo, and probably neglect your GCSEs. At 17 you may be studying A-Levels, but should be responsible enough to know what comes first, Habbo or A-Level :)

[hellzfrost]

Hmmm... Good point

[Vause]

Hmm i think 15 is a good age :)

[Seacat]

To be honest I couldn't imagine 200 15 year olds running around with the power to ban

[Kannae]

In some ways I understand, but since when have you had to over come the problems of thousands of people chatting online? In real life you can be rude, be racist (which I wish no-one was) be against others creeds (same) where hobbas need to sort this out for us.

[:Woof]

it was lower but they raised it, it must of been for reasons :) and the old saying :

im older i know more :) still stays with me for this topic

[Seacat]

Heh, the saying 'I'm not young enough to know everything' stays with me for this topic!

[Snowboarding]

I don't think there really needs to be an age limit. Obviously a good system wouldn't let anyone in. Habbo wouldn't need an age limit for Hobba applicants if they interviewed each one. This would force the applicant to prove themselves.

In the world today, there are boys in some countries that are 10 or 12 years old carrying around guns and starting a family. On the other hand of it you see a group of 18 year olds that don't have any sense of reality. Age doesn't determine your mental maturity.

I must say that last bit must have been the sensiblest thing I've heard so far this year. Good one

Why thank you. I'm here to help :p

[Ashley 12344]

ye ur right. sum ppl r mature enuf at 13, and sum arnt until 30. they shud lower the age limit to sumfin like 15, and hav more interviewin so that irresponsible ppl cnt become a hobba

[jammy06]

15 is a good age to be a hobba 18 is 2 old and ur busier then

[dj-ally]

14-15-16 because people will probably lose intrest and stuff plus collage high skool exams and all that good stuuf :P

[Shadowrock!]

yes but thats what determines a hobba, because they need to be really involved in habbo

plus you cant have hobbas that keep going off too school, otherwise people would stay off and just break the rules all day, so getting someone who is like 21 and is still on habbo must prove that they are commited

[Jamie]

Hobbas being 18 is fine :)

Yeh...
I'm sick and tired of people dissing my age group (11),
Everyone blames me and my fellow 11 yr olds for the filtered words,
which I find is VERY annoying & offensive.
Everyone was an 11 yr old once, you can't go and diss them.
With guidence from my sister, (when I was younger)
on another account, I used to be a really good helper.......
I still am, but i've improved. I'm basicly a help queen for my mates, and people at school.... I understand them totaly, and on habbo it's like that.
I understand how it feels to be scammed, hacked, and I know HOW to help.
18 yr olds have a different vocabulary, but what if someone who was... YOUNG needed help, and the Hobba was speaking (To them) in a totally different language?
I usually, go around places, befriend people.... Goto help desks, and people ask me for my age... They can't even BELIEVE me.
One of my mates Kevin, wouldn't believe me at all... And still doesn't.
There should be things like reccomendations as well.
Where if they find someone who they think can help,
they can keep an eye on them....
No matter WHAT age.
Because, a 18 yr old can just be a 'perfect habbo' without breaking the habbo way, and not have a CLUE on how to help people...
I haven't seen it, but it probably could happen.
And it's happening on .com aswell.
My friends have told me,
that there is 10 YR OLD HOBBAS on .com
And they gave me a screenie with a girl hobba, her mission as:
Im a hobba!

It just disgusts me that there is people who don't know how to help,
and are abusing their powers on .com

So I think there should be a test where there is 'Trainee Hobbas'
They are sent calls for help, real & non-real And are watched to see how they deal with it.
If they need to ban someone, they call for a moderator (I think that's what you do in some situations ANYWAY).
I think Habbo is dealing well with Hobbas on ALL hotels, except from .com
Nothing against it... It's just it's getting out of hand.
Our Hobbas know how to help,
they are friendly,
and they DON'T say things like this: 'give me furni or i'll ban you'
Yeh, sometimes EVERYONE makes mistakes, including habbo.
They know what they are doing, but I still am saying this. :)

Some US Hobbas do their job well :P

-- Like my post? Please give me rep :)
Don't? Ermmm..... Just ignroe that rep button --

[infatuation]

they should be 13 for silver badged
and 15 for hobbas
and 18 for staff ;D

[Ballet=life]

Ok then...
Let's put it like this:
I'm 18, I'm habbo way breaker blah blah blah.
Oh look! I can become a staff member....
Just because i'm 18!
Yeh!
Now I can threaten people with my powers!


No thanks..
I stick with my thoughts
(-- Scroll up --)

[infatuation]

:| I have my opinion
Did you bad rep me? :s

[Ballet=life]

Yeh,
sorry about that...
^_^

It's an ok idea,
but I don't think it would work.

[OllieRocks]

15 :) (Short n Simple)

[BlueTails]

16, but some habbos {younger} be sommat like hotel guide, and give intros, a age like 13 would do :)

[Eric30]

When i was 15 i got my proof of age ready to apply to be a hobba. Then a month or two before my birthday they changed the age :|
I was not that happy and lost intress in habbo.
I feel that im a responsable person and was when i was 16 but there you go.
Im now 17 learning to drive. So i can be trused on the road in a car but not helping people on a chat room...

I did get back into habbo just before my 17th birthday and hopfully i can apply on my 18th birthday.

Personaly i think 16 was a good age for hobbas. When your 18 you can apply to work for habbo. So if i was a big habbo fan at 18 i could apply to be a hobba or apply to work for them (At Home) and get paid for playing habbo... and if i wanted to work for habbo i would not have to be playing for months like u have to be for a hobba.

Ah well...

[dannyboymed]

14-15-16?

I think there should be many many tests to determine how trusted you are, it isn't all about age.

[Re-Call]

17 is a good age i think higher than 16 lower then 18

Plus 17 you can work you have to be trusted in work that deals with money and other various stuff

Also

Driving if you choose to persue it you need to be trusted to drive safetly and be aware of you and other drives who could be a risk.

So 17 a good age! -My opinion-

[bigbutsound]

You see , alot of you wil be saying you're age because you want to be one , I think that 18 is a good age because by this age you will have got passed all of the tests and got into college ect , It was 16 and that never worked because of all of the tests and Habbo didn't want to put stress on anyone.

[infatuation]

thats true- and at 18, you also have the choice whether you still want to be one or not.

[bigbutsound]

Yes , not just for the badge and the popularity and the tools when you are young but when you are 18 , you can think if you still want to be one and for the real reason , to help people, not for a nice shiney badge next to your Habbo.

[Vause]

I agree there matterath ;)

[Ballet=life]

Yeh,
I think there should be tests and things 2.
But all of our hobbas are great,
and now I don't really care about the age limit.

[Luayminator]

18 , because at this age you are mature enough to separate between ur studies and habbo.

[callynom8s]

18 is a good age for Hobba's. Being a Hobba is far from being about "power" and badges, its about giving your own time to help make the Hotel a safer and happier place for Habbos to be.

[-Soph-]

I think hobbas should be able to be any age 11 or over, as long as they're responsable, ok some people think that its funny going around keylogging people but it doesn't mean that you have to be over 18 to act sensably

[---MAD---]

i really think 15 or 16 because its when you are mature and responsible.
Even at 18 there are immature people so it wont differ :)

[Tw!xter]

i think you should be able to apply to be a hobba at the age of 16 again :)

[Question?]

I think 15-16, but as its a younger age, they should only be allowed silver (with ban ect) and the 17-18+ should be allowed Gold and SH (with ALL commands). The bobba filter should be there because People under 13 ect get on the hotel, thats why they have moderators and hobbas!

[cocaine]

they should be 13 for silver badged
and 15 for hobbas
and 18 for staff ;D
Yep.
Thats a sensible solution

[Rachi]

I Think Hobba's Should Be any Age Really.... Saying you have 2 be over 18 is like being racist ina way o well........
I think they should have hobba's about 13+ coz at age 18 ppl loose intrest

[Shadowrock!]

not really becuz most 13 year olds WOULD mess around

[Relapz]

I think Hobbas should be the age of 16 becuase 16 year olds are mature and won't run around banning people for nothing.Anyone below the age of 16 would be immature and would be banning people for whispering.

[Rarelime]

How isit racist ? :s

If the hobbas were 13 then they would be immature and abuse the tools they have, I think it should stay 18 because most people of that age have finished their studies and have matured and became more responsible for their actions.

[Infrontation]

After a Habbo has been on for 1 and a half Year + and have good knowledge of the hotel i believe would be the best solution, rather than a age limit

[chilloutrich]

18 is a good, 16 year olds would be good too though, maybe the age limits should change, or at 16 they are training hobbas until they become 18 then they get premoted to Golden hobbas?

[bigbutsound]

2 years training Rich.. I think that would be abit boring? I am happy with 18 years old! :D

[Bradd-Aaron]

What if a 18yold was a pedoe ? 13 is good.

[Ryu]

yes i agree with both side of this argument 16 is good 18 is good to
but i think habbo want to play the hobba game safe. because they used to have it so any one could be a hobba then you would have 12 year olds running around banning people.
so i think they have learnt from there past mistakes

[Kannae]

I think Hobbas should be the age of 16 becuase 16 year olds are mature and won't run around banning people for nothing.Anyone below the age of 16 would be immature and would be banning people for whispering.

I must admit that is a point but i still think 16 is a good age because this gives teenagers who if they think can be trusted on the net with people they dont know, understanding that they can be trusted in the world of work with people one-to-one.

[Detox]

I think 18 is about right as younger ages would just abuse the position. Not like me of course :p . It is a position that demands responsibility and people younger than 18 may not have this. If the age was to go down I think 16 should be the lowest it could go.

[Craig]

Id say about 15 :) most ppl are responsible enough then :)

[Y!]

I think it should be 16 and the entry requirements should be more relaxed, they miss out on a lot of good people. Then they just let the best silver hobbas pass to gold.

[dannyboymed]

I am hurt by some of the comments made in this thread, I'm 13 and I wouldn't be "running around banning people". As I've said before, I think there should be a lot of tests and the age should be 14-16.

[dobzy]

People saying 16, probably aren't thinking about the full picture. You need to also remember, being a Hobba is a lot of responsibility and a lot is expected off you even though it is voluntary. Many 16 year olds, have important commitments to aheed to outside Habbo. Thus, the responsibilities of being a Hobba could affect their performance.

I think 18 + is a good age.

[Kannae]

Its really about maturity. you get 18 year old vandals but 13 year old who are as good as gold! each person should really get a few month trial whatever their age!

[Steven]

18. :P xD

[Drewar]

16, I think. Because you can do most things legally by then and you are mature enough.
True that..
Over here in Canada, when you turn 16 you earn the right to :
-Drive a Car,
-Get a Job,
-Drink Alcoholic Beverages(In Quebec anyway)

So I see no point in why you can't help moderate and online website.

[Surname]

I think the age limit should be (and is...) 18. Although I think the hobba application should be harder. And anyone who types like this; "surch mi name and go 2 mi room" should not allowed to become a hobba.

[d3stined]

I think Hobbas should be the age of 16 becuase 16 year olds are mature and won't run around banning people for nothing.Anyone below the age of 16 would be immature and would be banning people for whispering.

That's stereotyping =S People under 16 can be mature, and some people over 16 can be immature as well. I think that if the people are interviewed well, people of all ages can be hobbas. If they fake being a habbo-friendly person.. they can be uhm.. 'spied' on xS Not being stalked.. but more like being observed without the person knowing =) Lmao Did that make sense? xD

[Kannae]

Do you mean like going back through every bit of habbo and observing their behavoir?

[d3stined]

Not going back through habbo, but have people watch how the person is when others aren't around without the person knowing.

[Kannae]

Sorry but I didnt get that sentence "/ oh well, keep the views coming :)

[kasi]

I say keep the age as it is.

[Rachi]

any age,
as long as they can proove they r worthy of being a hobba ;]

About 13 :]

[ttranquility.]

hmn, i think younger, because i want to be a hobba but im not 16 yet, so yeh. AND I might not even be playing habbo until im 16-17 lol, because by then i should actually have a life <3 :)

[bwabyadri]

I think its should be lowered of course god I waited 3 years too be a hobba and I am 17 already I could have been a hobba a month ago but no . and ive been waiting since 2001

[:0range:]

I Dont Care I Think If You Can Prove You Mature Anough You Should Be Allowed Any Age :)
