Right so erm, I was talking to Kapt via the IM thing in Habbo. What ever you call it and the following words appeared in our conv.

Address, School, Phone Number.

Which resulted in a moderator esk warning pop-up, so I carried on and the same 3 words I said again and I got muted for 10 mins.

So after a rant and a rave to chaingang and kapt I realised that in no way was the use of those words threatening to a person it was purely innocent.

After being unmuted I said to chaingang, "try typing these words back to me"

Address, School, Phone number and in an instance I got another popup.

Seriously give it ago,

say to someone on your console,

School <enter>
Address <enter>
Phone Number <enter>

So he tried it and as soon as he hits enter a popup warning.

Looks to be some sort of automated moderation.

It's been around for quite a while now, I got warned for saying one of those as it randomly came up in a conversation, more annoying that helpful really as the people that are wanting contact details anyway will just bypass it by using other words.

Old news, it also depends what else is in the sentence, like it links words together to make an assumption if its unsuitable or not.

Like -

I hate school - possibly no warning
What school do you go to? - defo warning.

If what above is okay then I'd assume it can't be that bad but if it doesn't take context in then it's even worse then when I used to play.

yeah you use these terms in an innocent matter... and you still punished with the same negative sanctions

Well thats ridiculous, it's a good idea but it needs to be reviewed tbh.

Once I was saying "Come on Cam" when I wanted him to play a game, "Cam" meaning Cameron and I even tried "Come on CAMERON" and got a 10 minute mute, so yeah, what Jake said at 4:45
