Why can't habbox do a Habbo

[Elliott$]

Where they come to a decision that we have all done our time and they should lift each ban from everyone who is banned/perm banned, It would be great, I for one would certanly behave impecable to not to get banned again, because I liked my old acc's for several reasons :). I think all the other people with banned accounts would agree, and if any of them stepped out of line, seriously, they would be re-banned. One problem for me is that I have had some name changed to some of my accounts that were banned so I wouldn't get them back lol, but theres one I could get back if they put this into action, and same with others.

[@xP]

i agree.

[VPSwow]

Because there is some users that create account after account to just rulebreak.

Maybe you could send an email to Sierk apologising ect and do it that way but i dont think all accounts should be unbanned.

If they were to give everyone a chance it would work, I know some people make accounts just to spam/rule break, but maybe they've grown out of it and will stop it, and if they don't then they can be re-banned, im certain theres enough moderators to sort all problems out.

[Qamp]

I think the ones with over 5 rep should be unbanned because they cant be rule break accounts.

[--ss--]

No because they will go un-punished for the rule breaking they did.
Accounts that are banned should stay banned until they expire automatically.

Ditto that. If you did something to warrant a perm ban, you deserve it.

Don't you think many Habboxforum users have done their time though?

Maybe not ALL accounts should be unbanned but maybe most of the ones that people believe are sorry and will do better.

[jesus]

Don't you think many Habboxforum users have done their time though?

Maybe not ALL accounts should be unbanned but maybe most of the ones that people believe are sorry and will do better.its clear what you want the outcome of this to be - your account unbanning

why dont you try and aim towards that instead of making such a thread as this one

No because it is rare to get a perm ban on Here. You only get permed banned if you break rules contentiously after warnings, infractions, cautions , temp bans.
If you got a perm ban it means you have done something wrong and should be punished.

[Alkaz]

No because they will go un-punished for the rule breaking they did.

I agree with that. I think habbo only really did that to get old users back and it worked. Habbox is growing stronger and i feel dont need the accounts unbanned, it will just cause alot of bother and tbh alot of people will just get rebanned again in my opinion.

[Lost-Shark]

I think ex-staff who were fired + banned for swearing should be able to, as long as they don't re-offend.

But serious people who were banned, e.g hackers etc should not.

[The Professor]

They SAY they're sorry and will do better. You've obviously not been following earthquake's threads ;)

[Elliott$]

I'm not aiming to get just myself unbanned, because thats, well, selfish. I think everyone deserves a second chance, and I think it could bring more money in for Habbox because if users are unbanned and that person like their account, they're more likely to buy VIP for the account or a sub-forum.

Professor, no I haven't been following earthquakes thread, I'd rather keep away from his idiotic posts quite frankly.

People who say they're sorry do actually mean it but not everyone decides to take it seriously, which is why things are like they are, everywhere in the world.

[Lost-Shark]

Some members in the past have been wrongly banned, I know of one who shouldn't of been, but thats not my business. And no im not naming people, Sorry!

[jrh2002]

I think anybody who manages to get themselves perm banned should stay perm banned. Maybe we could ban some offenders for a few years? they deserve their bans.

Habbo were without a doubt were wrong to unban all the accounts and I am sure it was a stupid mistake that they decided to cover up by saying otherwise.

I will give you a link to Ione's thread where I posted with all my reasons once the habbo site is back up. (I am still on habbo though :S)


Some members in the past have been wrongly banned, I know of one who shouldn't of been, but thats not my business. And no im not naming people, Sorry!

If they were wrongly banned they can appeal to overturn their ban. You must remember when somebody is banned they never like giving all the facts and just the points that make themselves look like they were in the right and not the wrong, you dont just get banned unless you deserve it.

[Elliott$]

I think members who were banned over 6 months ago should be unbanned, it's quite a long time and I'm sure some of them feel their ban was unfair, It would be good to give them a 2nd chance!

[Camy]

I don't really think it'll work tbh.
Maybe people who were banned for swearing or being rude may be unbanned, maybe on a probation period to prove they are more mature, then one strike and their rebanned.
If you know what I mean.

In that case, ill have a word with the person and ask him for evidence etc for why he should be unbanned.

[dannyisnotamazing]

naw i dont agree

[Elliott$]

It would make more people come back to the forum, even with more coming in.. some of the oldies will be back, it would be good!

[jrh2002]

Thats fine :) if their ban was incorrect it would be lifted.

All correct bans should stay in my opinion :)

http://www.habbo.co.uk/groups/POTR/discussions/10587/id

I am told she usually replies to them but shes not bothered to reply to this just yet and I think most of my reasons for that are the same for HxF
Its only people who have banned accounts who want them unbanned and think the honest rule abiding people are the ones let down by such a rediculous decision.

From 2001 you have had hobba's and mods helping you rid the hotel of these people to benefit the people who play by the rules. You have let down everybody who have ever reported somebody for a perm ban offence. I dont know if you have unbanned all accounts? or just certain ones. As far as I see you have allowed back Scammers, Hackers, Sexual predators, stalkers, bullies and anybody else deserving a perm ban.
People banned for scamming and hacking can now get all the stolen furni off the perm banned accounts they transfered it to.
The stalkers and bullies will be back to abuse their victims all over again, how do you think that will make them feel?

My personal opinion is that you have let down every decent habbo by making such a ridiculous decision. To be honest I really cant see how anybody would think this is ok to do, are you just saying people have been un permermed for a fresh start to try and hide the fact you made a massive mistake during the updates?

People saying that they had their acount stolen who are happy could have just contacted player support with an explanation to become unbanned and get their accounts returned.

[WarezKid]

I think ex-staff who were fired + banned for swearing should be able to, as long as they don't re-offend.

But serious people who were banned, e.g hackers etc should not.



So staff get banned? :rolleyes:. Bloody hell, gota keep my job then ;)

[Elliott$]

it would be a great to give them a second chance, if it was you wanting your account unbanned you'd agree, trust meeeeeeeeee! I mean all of my accounts that were banned were perm banned for flipping abuse of vip features/reverse mod actions which imo doesn't warrant a perm ban, someone might have an off day and get angry and their thread being close and re-open it, and then they get permed for it, it's not exactly fair..

[dannyisnotamazing]

It would make more people come back to the forum, even with more coming in.. some of the oldies will be back, it would be good!

Most people who got banned, already come back on another account anyway. If they got unbanned, all they would do is go back onto there old account.. wouldn't bring old people back tbh. It's not like Habbo, lol.

Not all staff get banned..

[Camy]

Yep, were just the same as everyone else really.
Galaxay got banned like a month ago and had 4 jobs, quite high up in hxhd i think.

[jrh2002]

You said earlier this was not for you and now you say that if you have a banned account you would want it unbanned :P

If you get permed you only have yourself to blame unless it was an error and then you can appeal to get unbanned. :eusa_whis

Sorry Elliot but it is obvious you want your E5 account back but get over it seeing as you broke the rules and you will have to face the consequences.

[Elliott$]

Opening a thread that a mod locked isn't exactly breaking a rule, and no it's not e5 I was thinking of. It's a good idea for everyone who wants their account's back, and are sorry. Some bans are in error but staff don't see it as an error.

p.s my name is elliott m8

[---MAD---]

That won't solve anything ;).

[Elliott$]

MAD what do you think about the situation?

[wicked!]

i agree, the people who get banned on their proper accounts come back and they have nothing to lose when they make a new account so they dont need to follow the rules

for example, before me and pleke messed around on here pleke had an account with loads of posts and rep but he got banned because he asked for his name to be changed to "pu$$y" and the vip person did and then he got banned for unacceptable name lol
if he didnt get banned i doubt he would have caused any trouble on here

[Elliott$]

Exactly so if all accounts were unbanned (or some accounts) people are more likely to behave and give the mods an easier time.

Yes it is breaking the forum rules. Its called abuse of VIP features ;). Just cause you are a VIP, that does not mean you override admins, smod or mod decisions.

[Earthquake]

Perm banned accounts should not be unbanned if they have got themself banned alone, but if they've got themself perm banned in a arguement situation where their simply backing themself up, or they get their final infraction for lets say double posting I think they should not be perm banned in the first place, I am very much like the ban system and I should be counting myself lucky. None of the accounts so far should be unbanned as its 1) A hard job doing so I think. 2) Brings all pleke's, spammers, bullies, highrepped people who constantly broke rules since they was banned back.

Thankyou for reading ~ Earthquake Corporation.

I agree.

If you got your accounts back would you want your new account merging? or posts and rep transfered?

Maybe if you have run a new account without breaking any serious rules you could get your old banned name transfered to your current account?

You would have to be VIP to get the name change (makes it worthwhile for habbox)
You can prove you own that account on habbo.
You dont get any post or rep count transferred from your old account.
If you are not VIP maybe pay a small admin fee for the transfer?

These are just a few ideas to help the debate keep going.

I thought Habbox didn't allow account's to be merged and there was a big argument when brandon's clone got unbanned and both his account's got merged so he ahd the highest rep and post count :rolleyes:

I think most people would prefer to use their current account if they're unabnned seeing as people will know them by that name/account.

[Favourtism]

No because they will go un-punished for the rule breaking they did.

Yep. To get a Perm Ban you have to really deserve it as you go through infractions, cautions and temp-bans etc. Your only permed straight away if you spam the forum up like posting loads of inaproppiate images.

Correct. Threads are locked for a reason and should stay locked.

Banned accounts don't need/ Shouldn't be unbanned in my opinion.

Habbox dont allow accounts to be merged I was just asking what they expected if they were unbanned.

Most would just use their current account but if your habbo name account is banned like in e5's I can see why he would want that account or at least name back.




Correct. Threads are locked for a reason and should stay locked.

I love it where you are re-assuring the site manager hes correct :P

I aggree that banned accounts should remained banned but if the user uses a new account and has a cleanish record it could be done :o as long as they were vip and owned the habbo account with the same name.

[Elliott$]

I can easily get the name e5 back tbh I just request name change and prove I am e5 ;/

[jrh2002]

I agree with this as we know there are prescedents for it :P Some people that have been perm banned have only perhaps lost it one time although it might be a long and well behaved account. An example of this would be Dentafrice. I think some sort of application for amnesty would be really good. :D

Exactly, when I got banned for abuse of VIP features, it was a bad day for me, I was annoyed and just did it, which is why I think there should be more warnings before bans first, so Habbox, I think you should give offenders like that a 2nd chance, by unbanning all and those that misbehave seriously again, get their ban back in place

Do you realise how many people are on the ban list? each case would have to be reviewed and then a decision made.

If you applied for your old name to be added to your new forum account then perhaps the powers that be would go for it. There is no way in a million years that ALL perm bans would be reversed and to unban any perm account without reviewing why they got banned would be stupid even if they were permed 3 years ago.

[Elliott$]

Well can you merge ma acc's 2gether then

[GommeInc]

On Habbo, there is a reason to unban accounts, but on Habbox, there isn't "/

Habbo you have furniture and possibly friends while with Habbox you have post counts which aren't worth diddly squat "/

[---MAD---]

Well can you merge ma acc's 2gether then
Sorry but there is no chance that we are unbanning all banned accounts any time soon nor will we merge together banned accounts with unbanned accounts. You lost your account because of unacceptable behaviour, this is your punishment. Fair and square.

[VPSwow]

---MAD--- is 100% correct :)

[nvrspk4]

Let's all be honest about this. Why did Habbo unban accounts? More $$.

The $$ comes from Habbos who had old rich accounts and no longer invest in furni because of their anger with Habbo. By unbanning accounts, they bring players back, and stimulate more purchases. Its all about the cash.

Here what we do is based on ethics, because we are a nonprofit as opposed to a business. Also, Habbox has less pointless bans than Habbo, honestly we don't really have many pointless bans that stand (if any), when you see someone who claims they were pointlessly banned on Habbox, they're usually only telling you half the story, and due to the rules we couldn't disclose the entire reasons and proof behind it.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Habbo only unbanned certain accounts which were banned for minor offenses? We'd have to go through the thousands of bans manually and look into every one. Even if we lifted all of them, including the serious bans, we'd have to lift each of them individually.

Lastly, this thread sort of lacks legitimacy because its evident that the thread-starter's motives are self-interest, because they want an account back, not necessarily because they believe in the principle :P

That was scary when that happened. I remember having to break the news to you and Nick. Strangely they didn't get my account, all because I stayed online all night which somehow stopped them for accessing it.

By staying online I mean, I kept the computer on while I slept.

You had the account thybag. Any other accounts were thybag followed by _ and something else. Mentor wasn't and isn't you :)

Shouldn't of broke the rules and got banned then should you.

Yes I have a lot of sympathy for that view in 95% of cases but in a few I feel it was done when feelings were running high and maybe would not have been permed under normal circumstances. Most people who get perm banned don't have a good record whatever account they hold but there is a small minority that could be looked at :)

I think he was referring to the forum account Mentor (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=1498), Unless you meant that aswell. Although the profiles are very similar ;).

As for this topic itself, I think that you must have had a good reason to receive a permanent ban so from that point of view the accounts shouldn't be unbanned. Although, I understand some members might have been banned from a misunderstanding or something they regret doing in their earlier years here. Honestly I would like to see a new system in which bans are reviewed. I know this has been suggested before and has been rejected, But I think people should have a chance to have their bans reviewed and see what happens from there. Perhaps a private forum like we currently have for Habbox staff / other forum member complains where you can post a thread with the account details explaining why you believe you should be unbanned. I mean it's just an idea and it has been rejected before but I believe everyone deserves a chance to explain themselves if needed :).
