View Full Version : Need a rule change ... your OPINIONS please.
Dear Saurav,
You have received an infraction at Habbox UK Forum.
Reason: Accusing/naming anyone of lying/scamming/hacking or any other bad things.
-------
Please do not accuse people of doing things.
I just got a infraction for the above for this post: http://habboxforum.com/showpost.php?...2&postcount=42
Err the end bit of that infraction is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. So I could get an infraction for this?:
User: I OWN GOOGLE
me: No you dont, please dont lie
Because I am accusing someone of lieing :S Also "any other bad things" - what about negative feedback?!!? If someone asked for our opinion and I said it wasnt good, I could get an infraction?
MAD just gave me a infraction for that post :S Gosh the arrogant kid really cant take criticism.
That rule really needs changing.
MAD should infract himself for saying "That post is totally useless to me.". It comes under "other bad things".
I honestly dont care about my infraction, but the rules I have seen over the last few days are stupid. Its as if you cant make a negative comment about anyone.
MAD - please dont move this to the complaints forum as I want other people's opinions.
Edited by ---MAD--- (General Manager): Thread closed. Please report infraction problems here.
I am not appealing against a infraction problem though? I am asking for a rule change and asking the members for their opinions. Stop being a power freak and read the thread properly. You seem to close all threads which criticize you.

You can get away with accusing of 'lying or bad things' to a certain extent , if the person you are accusing of lying is like for the example you posted and is obvious it's a joke/lie then I guess you can get away with it, Where as if you say something like they edited their rep then you are trying to make them look bad and if you did say something like that in the street/in real life you'd probably get punched in the face ;)
Anyway how've you been Saurav ?

I have been told not too long ago that it was likely the "accusing of lying" would be removed from the rule due to it being too harsh however I'm not sure if that has come into place or not yet but I agree that it should, I know it was discussed prior to this thread and I don't give infractions or warnings for that offence at the moment unless it breaks other rules in the post or is rude also. I think we are pending that rule to be changed but I may not be correct, I did bring up the fact this needed to be changed at a meeting not too long ago but it has not come into effect yet as far as I am aware. Also the infraction ---MAD--- gave you was rude and breaks that rule so therefore it is fair. The other comment for saying things like "You don't own good, your lying" as long as it is not rude I wouldn't deem that infraction worthy and I feel that this infraction should be changed to remove the "lying" bit of it however accusing people of lying in a rude way or of things deemed to be "bad" should be kept as it isn't fair that other members can accuse each other of bad things. As for ---MAD---'s post it was not rude and did not accuse you of anything, he wasn't accusing or naming you he was simply explain that post wasn't useful and explained that to make it useful you have to explain and give constructive criticism, that certainly didn't break the rules.

However the other infraction can be looked into as it is quite harsh although at this time the rule still stands.
Thanks for the comment. I dont care I got an infraction but the rules just harsh.

:) I'll see if there is going to be this change or not, last time I check it was going to come into place but I just don't think it has yet. I do feel the rule needs looking at and rephrasing as it can be quite misleading at the moment and quite hard to pin down who broke it without being harsh. As I've said I did want this rule to be looked at and I'm sure it is being considered and hopefully it will be changed or at least the "lying" part of it will be removed/rephrased.

There is no 'to an extent' with Habbox Forum. You are either accusing of lying or not accusing of lying. There is no inbetween. You get told off for pointing out someone is lying with proof, for example when I said someone who was obviously lying when they mentioned their doctor phoning them up at 10pm to tell them they had cancer. I know for a fact that no place can you that information over the hone. You have to meet the doctor in person, unless that doctor is a rebel and is breaking hundreds of rules. I got that infraction/warning removed in the end, but it shows loads of super moderators/moderators/admins are in auto pilot and are not taking the blindest bit of notice to facts and the obvious...
Also, whoever the liar is needs to be warned not to lie, and given a bigger punishment that the one accusing of lying, because the way the moderators act, anyone who starts an argument needs to be told off, with a warning or infraction, because that;s how moderators and the like run around here...
WHoever writes the rules needs to take about an hour of their time to edit them. Loads of rules are not needed and loads can be combined into one rule or shortened.

I think there should be a rule that if a Moderator/Super Moderator gives out too many pointless infractions circuling around not reading the whole conversation, they should be fired, or given warnings then fired. Because this forum was for fun and discussions which you could talk freely about without worrying about some silly moderator giving a silly warning that makes no sense in context. Now it just seems you can't have a sense of humour or talk to friends in a calm, relaxed environment.

Its impossible to do that if your GM lacks common sense and closes any threads which say something bad about him. I made this exact thread and he closed it with the reason "Please report infraction problems here: insertlinkhere"
Does this guy even read the threads or just love closing every thread possible? Habboxforum has gone downhill since he became admin. The guy comes up with the stupidest excuses and rules.

mad has plenty of common sense, probably even more than you
he closes threads which do not need a discussion
he reads the threads then makes an informed decision
the rules have been there for ages and im sure the rules are discussed by management as a whole before any are put in place. you just need to actually rresearch a bit before making outrageous comments and being rude about people

He closes threads which are in the centre of a discussion which has alot to do with the way the forum is run and at the moment, it seems loads of people are concerned about it and discussing what MAD and loads of others should do to make it better.
He doesn't read the threads very well if he closes them mid-discussion. He doesn't even give a good reason or say what he thinks and whether or not the ideas will be taken on board and used, other than when he thinks so, not what a majority of others think so "/
The rules have been heavily edited for the worse and who cares if they are discussed by management? Some of them don't even make sense! Anymore new and barmy rules should be discussed in the furutre, to see what people with some thought think (not the idiots will will agree and disgree without thinking about both sides).
Research has been done, look at the threads in this forum. This forum is dreadful compared to what people want or what it used to be.

To be fair, most of the threads closed "in mid discussion" are in reality having the same points repeated over and over again, or have gone offotopic completely and turned into a casual conversation between 2 or 3 members about the possible mating habits of a T-rex or something absurd like that. However, most of these threads do begin with a valid point and I feel most of these are largely ignored, something which needs to be worked on :)

If the same points are raised, it just shows how serious this matter must be taken, especially if the same points are raised by loads of different users.

How does it exist purely for post count when if more points are rasied by different members, even if the same comment has been said? More members posting saying 'I agree that this doesn't work' means another member disagrees which is a foundation to work off of to improve how the forum is run. It's only there for post count if the same members repeat the same comment. Besides, I think worrying about post counts is the last thing management need to worry about when threads like this arise.

I am very confused as how you know all this. Wouldn't surprise me if the GM himself wasn't embarrassed reading this. Of course I maybe wrong and you may have been here quite a lot time but with different accounts. If this is the case please accept my apologies. :)
Alex as far as I remember there are only 3 grounds for closure as laid down by Sierk.1. Inappropriate threads i.e. the subject matter is not suitable and its usually done virtually straightaway or 2. because of arguments and rule breaking not because somebody thinks a post is not contructive. How would you define that one? 3. A Vip can close a thread of their own at anytime

Was there loads of spam in it? Also things may be different now. Best to ask somebody who is up to date with the instructions on closure.

Personally I would give this one up as a bad job as you have criticised him personally e.g calling him arrogant rather than his actions. By the way if you feel he has been rude to you report it - I have in the past. But that is just my opinion :)

To be fair this is what is says:
- We can (WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE) edit, move, delete, duplicated or publish any of your posted content because as soon as it is posted, you are the author of the content, but it becomes property of Habbox UK Forum.
There is nothing in the terms and conditions that says you have the right to close the threads. All actions allowed in the terms and conditions are governed by specific instructions anyway either by Sierk, yourself or the Forum Manager. If what you say is true anybody employed by Habbox that has moderation rites are only constrained by the T&C and we know that is not true.

I stand corrected, I am not a moderator and have therefore never read their code of practice. Maybe it would be an idea to make that code of practice public, as it seems to outline rules not displayed in the forum rules viewable by everyone.

They are the admins, they run the forum, not you - So if they want to close one of your threads because they do not think it is right then they can.
They are far to lenient with some of you these days.
Alot of you just set out to cause problems and question the admins decisions, maybe its your idea of fun.
For example that LiquidAcid guy, his signature is saying he is breaking the rules and to infract him, they should just ban him if he is breaking the rules purposley. No offence to the guy im just pointing out how some of you go out of your way to be a pain.

Yes well Jack if the rules and T&Cs were changed to say that it would be fair enough. I always thought that they ran the forum for the benifit of the members? Are you saying when you were here you could just close a thread without adhering the owners directions in the matter?

I doubt anyone on here apart from the odd few actually read the rules and terms and conditions otherwise there wouldnt be so many infractions going around.
And I always think if you have a problem with the rules or T&C then it is best to just PM the asm or whoever.
The forum is for the benefit of the members, however a large majority of members abuse that.
I would close a thread if i felt it was not going to do any good for any members or was going to cause problems.
When you moderate/administrate for so long you can tell what the thread is going to turn out like. I am not even sure what thread your all talking about though, to many pages to read.
My edit on his thread would tell the owner what he has done wrong.

The rule is too general. HxF is run with too strict rules imo, but hey thats just my opinion.

Hmmmm more than a slight exaggeration here I think... I do not think this at all - can you be more specific

Problems for who exactly? Jack

Yes well I did moderate for quite a while myself and its true you do tend to know but I used to keep an eye on it and wait to see if in fact it did break the guidlines before closure. Also most regular members do keep up with threads and they don't have to reply if they are not interested.

Well by all means close a thread and tell the thread starter what they have done wrong but every forum has to have its own guidelines and rules or there would be complete chaos. If you can't avoid the filter because there is a rule saying so then a thread should not be closed without a proper reason which is agreed by the owner/GM. Otherwise it there is no consistency of moderation and appears to be complete double standards.

I just wrote loads but closed it by mistake.
Anyway I give up debating it, as it will just go back and for etc.
The GM wasnt admin at the time when I was here so we didnt have this stuff to worry about :p

To be fair to Elkaa, his post was entirely sensible. Members have to agree to the ToS when they sign up; if they disagree with it they shouldn't be ticking the box to say they do. Also on closing threads, the rule says they can edit them and closing is an editing process ^_^ However, this isn't the point of this thread - it's about banning for accusations and stuff.

Editing is not a closing process Tom. Editing and Closing are 2 completely different things . It would come under modification of the thread which isn't in the T&C's either. :)
Its is to do with the thread because its also about closure. Threads can evolve these days as long as they are constructive and to do with what has been discussed before. Changed about 18 months ago. Indeed --MAD-- himself bought up the T&Cs issue.

OH I didn't know about that one, I remember it being discussed but didn't know they'd actually decided to allow it. I'm well slow lol

I agree MAD is arrogant and the forum has gone downhill since he took over. why does he ask for our opinions if he hates negative feedback? he thinks people will always agree with him.

I swear the thread that just got removed was Habbox Feedback :S
It went a bit down hill just before MAD joined, so it's not entirely his fault.

I think we need to change the rule so that it only says it's not allowed to accuse others of hacking or scamming. That is also why the rule was added in the first place, to stop arguments about this.
