Should Asl be filtered?

[cocaine]

I think it should, because it is a slippery slope towards being in danger of meeting up with someone, as it could be quite dangerous. Anyway, vote in the poll and I shall be happy :D

[GommeInc]

It shouldnt be filtered as it isn't really a bad thing. It just shouldn't be asked!

[the wombats]

its only 3 letters

[MYKE!]

No, it doesnt really harm anyone.

[Pulchritudinous]

If you are uncomfortable about giving away your location, you can always just say what country your in, if they ask for further details just say, 'you don't need to know', I doubt someone would be able to track you down with a peice of information like '14/f/uk'.

[cocaine]

Hmm.. I see your point, but if a paedophile is online, most people are gullible enough to fall for it.

[cocaine]

Ok, but just don't make me cry :P

Sorry for double posting.

[ff_vivi]

How stupid could that be? If someone doens't want to give out their asl then they shouldn't. If they do what harm does it make? Does saying it magically make some rapist appear?

[jammy06]

I think it should as it is personal and should be sorted out asap

[bigbutsound]

The way I think about it , What can anyone do with your asl? Not much really is it..

[GommeInc]

I think he means they can 'fantasize' over your age, but thats a meer guess

[cocaine]

Well, lets just say that the paedophile has gotten your asl. He can then build up a relationship with you, to get you trusting him more. Then he'll start asking you more personal details. Then he'll probably ask you to meet up. But that's drastic.

[ff_vivi]

Wouldn't they befriend them more than just ask asl? I really don't see the point. You've been warned many times not to meet people on the internet. You somehow deserve it if you do tell.

[cocaine]

Yeah, you have a point there. But still. . .

[Pulchritudinous]

And by stopping ASL its going to stop phedophiles, no, they can just ask in a different way.

Whoevers stupid enough to confide so much in someone over the net must be dumb, so I doubt being so dumb they'd understand what ASL means, so there we go.

[hedgeog325]

Dont think asl should be filtered :p
Because its not much harm. ;)

[bigbutsound]

It was un-bobba'd" on .com because they realised , There is not much that can be done with "asl" Yes ok you all say about pedo's but unless you give them the exact place which you shouldn't if you have read the Habbo Way then when you say your location , City's tend to be big places and I doubt they will go door knocking..

[Rachi]

It doesnt really make a diffrence if its filtered or not.. people wil still go around it eg : if asl = bobba then they will do a/////s////l lol it doesnt matter really..most people make ur their asl anyway... I've been 30 yrs old 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 9 lol All Ages.. :) :o :o :o

[Mr.Comedian]

Theres no point banning it because there are loads of ways to get round it. And if this did happen there will be no words on habbo that we'll be allowed to say!

[ff_vivi]

I think Habbo should stop warning others about scams when they're actually the ones scamming us out of their money.

[bigbutsound]

Theres no point banning it because there are loads of ways to get round it. And if this did happen there will be no words on habbo that we'll be allowed to say!

Yes , but there are ways of getting around other bobba'd" words , like the swear words , Are you saying don't bobba them aswell?

[:JaMhEd]

well, it shouldnt be filtered because... yes, it is personal details. and if somebody asks me, i either lie or just dont answer.

simple as.

[Owen]

FGS YES! :p
Its so annoying with all these new people that come on habbo and come up to you and ask your asl and you say personal and they say:
"Why? Are you 40?"
"You &£*@?$% I @$&£)£?" Hate you"
and
"n00b"
"/
Its one of the most annoyingest things in the world
+
If your say 11 - 13 most people call you youngens :p

[---MAD---]

i say yes just incase, i wouldnt take risks, some people are news and dont understand how dangerous the net can really be..

[Fingerboots]

I personally don't think "asl" is that bad, as long as you don't give your direct location. I mean, how many 14 females from the UK are there going to be?
But, since it seems like such a bad thing on habbo then I think it should be filtered.
And I think it would cut down on all the new people going
hiyaa asl¬?!

[cocaine]

Theres no point banning it because there are loads of ways to get round it. And if this did happen there will be no words on habbo that we'll be allowed to say!

Well.. how. There must be some words we can say.

[Dirgeofcerberus]

Its literally only a three letter word that doesnt mean much
It shouldn't be filtered but it shouldn't be asked

[cocaine]

i say yes just incase, i wouldnt take risks, some people are news and dont understand how dangerous the net can really be..

Yep, you got it. Take that into account people, and think about it.

[Pulchritudinous]

They bobba you replying to asl so they might aswell go bobba asl...

[cocaine]

They bobba you replying to asl so they might aswell go bobba asl...


Erm, no they don't

[Roboevil]

Knowing your age means the paedophile can be like, "Wow! I'm the same age as you, how convienient!" *ahem* Also, one thing I never got about asl is name?? Out of all the thing's i'd prefer to know the person's name that their age. As calling somone hotty:guy1243 coming from me get's disturbing after a while.

[Digital]

yea but theres a way around it like /\/\sn some ppl say a/s/l or a.s.l. i think they
should try and get them all off

[Steph=04=]

yes i tihnk it should cos it is personal info and ppl keep asking it and ppl keep telling it :)

[Digital]

i never give mine out ?/?/?
