Habbox Rules

[lick]

A Mod asked me to post here because they did not believe that people would agree when i said that Habbox rules are to strick and that they should be catered for the age group that uses the Forum now instead of the age group that used the forum over 4 years ago.. like Clubhabbo do.

I think Habbox rules are way to strick and i think they should change because it's no longer 11-13 year olds using the site yet the rules are still probably the same, maybe a small bit different as to when they where written over 5 years ago.

Habbox & Clubhabbo are both fansites based around Habbo so you would think that both fansites would have the somewhat the same rules / near enough but no they are completely different. I'm not saying that Habbox should have the exact same rules as Clubhabbo because they shouldn't im saying i think you should update the rules because they where written over 5 years ago and i would hardly call adding full stops and a few words here and there updating them. You're no longer dealing with under 14 year olds and this has come up over the past few weeks and it has been proven in a poll and you have not done anything about it. Habbo's age group has even changed as most of their users are 15+.

All this is referring to a post i made which can be seen clicking here (http://www.clubhabbo.net/showthread.php?t=217627)i dont find that racist as it is meant to be a joke and as on Clubhabbo no one complained so therefore it was not removed. But when i post it on Habbox and people find it funny and no-one complains it gets removed? I would not mind it been removed if there was a Illegal immigrant on the forum who found it offensive but i doubt there is so i don't see why it would be removed when one Habbo fansite would allow it and another would not? This stuff is spoken about on the new all the time as you hear of people coming here illegally and committing benefit fraud and most of the stuff is true and it also happens to be funny.

So maybe think of updating the rules for real instead of adding a dull stop here and there and make a rule more clearer.

[Jordan:A]

True, I think there too strict and most members (also proved in a poll) are over the age of 14.

[Catzsy]

What you actually said to me mwah was 'yes Clubhabbo is different to Habbox but they are both based around Habbohotel and are both fansites for Habbo so they should have similar rules.' I said that Habbox does not have to follow another fansite and have similar rules just because they are a Habbo one. Yes I do think that poem is inappropriate not because there is any illegal immigrants on here but because its borderline racist. I also note that on the other site such things as targeting of members including one of our members is allowed. On the other hand I understand that they are very strict in other areas. Your best bet is to have it reviewed - I am not perfect and you may be agreed with. Thanks :)

[xxMATTGxx]

Tricky one but Clubhabbo seems to be a place to me where they do need more rules. But never-mind because I work on this fansite. At the moment I feel the forum rules currently are ideal for everyone to read and follow, they are pretty simple rules to be honest. Some of them need to be made clearer, which have been getting changed as you may have noticed. I don't think they are "strict". They are much more relaxed then what they used to be. Some rules can be seen as "strict" but they are needed.

[Kardan]

I think the rules are quite alright, and there are tons of young people on here, it's just that you don't see them posting in the spam forum every 5 seconds :P Plus I'd disagree that Habbo has gone to an older market, I'd say it's gone to a much younger market.

[Monopoly]

i don't think they're strict.
i think they could be simplified a lot
and i think they could get rid of the stupid filter, but apart from that, i'm not too bothered.

[Callum.]

shame that the poem got removed cus it's very true.

[RandomManJay]

I don't think they're too strict, but I do think that other options could be introduced like the option to remove the swear filter for your account so you can see the words that are filtered, kind of like what habbo has done, only once you have reached a certain age you're able to edit that option. Not sure if its possible though since I don't know if the filter system changes the actual post or just changes the appearance of the post when submitted, also I don't know if the option is possible with vBulletin.

[GommeInc]

The rules are fine as they are, I don't really find the filter to be too bad (most of the time). The foreign language rule needs to be put in with pointless posting though -hint hint- :rolleyes: :P

[FlyingJesus]

I don't think many of the older members care that much tbh, we get on with the rules fine for the most part. Fair play it might be a laugh to allow bullying (or be more lax on it like the old days) but the rules here work

[Black_Apalachi]

This is just something Habbo would do, mess with something that's fine and make it worse. The rules are fine. I also like the style of writing they carry because it is very clear and concise. I think if someone were to be set the task of going over tham all editing bits here and there, they would become a lot less... professional (for want of a better word).


I would not mind it been removed if there was a Illegal immigrant on the forum who found it offensive but i doubt there is so i don't see why it would be removed when one Habbo fansite would allow it and another would not?

So you are suggesting there is the chance that such a person could be using the forum? The forum is on the internet. That means any type of person in the world has access to it. So if you know of a type of person who would or could be offended by anything you post, then there is the chance that they will see it and it will offend them.

I'm not arguing right or wrong over your post in particular, I'm just saying the exisitng rule is clearly in the best interests of Habbox's potential audience, regardless of how much of a minority that may be :).


I think the rules are quite alright, and there are tons of young people on here, it's just that you don't see them posting in the spam forum every 5 seconds :P Plus I'd disagree that Habbo has gone to an older market, I'd say it's gone to a much younger market.

Lol yeah, I didn't even use the Spam forum until like last week! And I would deffinitly agree that Habbo's audience has gotten much younger. If anything, it's obvious just by how Habbo looks these days. Sulake are a corporate company who do their market research. So if Habbo's current website looks like it's aimed at much younger kids than the classic old orange and blue one was, which they had when I joined, then that's because their audience is younger.

[RandomManJay]

It's probably because most of the older member have grown up to use these rules on the forum. so they follow them naturally :P.

[Chippiewill]

I think a clause to the foreign language rule should be added so that we can post the lorem ipsum dummy text...

[Black_Apalachi]

Why would you need to post that lol? :P

It doesn't matter if the majority of the members are over a certain age, there are also guests and others who don't post who could be younger than the average. There's no way to tell if all 14/15/16/17 year olds behave in the same way or have the same views so not everyone could agree on certain issues like the filter options. The poem was racist and written to offend that type of race, again it doesn't matter if there are no illegal immigrants on the forum, if it's seen by new guests or people that haven't registered then it could steer them away from the fansite especially if moderators were putting up with it like on clubhabbo where some of them posted that it was funny. It's not because clubhabbo is less strict and can handle a "joke" it's because they are unprofessional and immature, in my opinion anyway.

What kind of rule is meant to be clearer? No racism is a rule aswell as not being offensive to others so the rule is clear it's just some people try to get away with things trying to make it look like a "joke", again it doesn't matter if members aren't bothered by it it's the whole habbo community who read that you have to consider.

As for the filter I couldn't give a **** (:)) if you could read which swear word I wrote, it's usually quite clear what they mean and if filter was taken off then the insults would really start and because there is a rule of no insulting where exactly would we get with taking itoff? I don't mind if it comes up swearing or if it just filters out, I don't see why any of you would even want to see the swearing because it doesn't make a difference, all it does is create conflicts and makes the forum look bad. The rules are fine, where do the problems lie? There's nothing wrong with them at all, although mods can be quite strict when it comes to bullying/insulting others and they need to learn when it's friendly banter, you would still probably complain if they did nothing about it and think that they were being the unprofessional ones. Either way, there are still going to be complaints and because the rules are fine as they are there aren't any changes needed.

[Yoshimitsui]

I don't see how they are STRICT. It used to be the case that you could get an infraction for pointless posting, could you imagine how many people would be perm banned by now? It is also the case that you have several chances before even getting an infraction, and the system bans you when you reach ten instead of a moderator making the judgment.

The difference between Habbox and ClubHabbo is the fact they don't seem to have any sort of rules, they just let people do and say what they want unless someone upsets one of the select special people. You also have to remember that we are an official fansite and therefore what goes on it is judged and also monitored.

The lower age limit for Habbos stands at around 11, although im sure many younger than that use it, as well as the forum. Now this is also a good reason why what is posted on the forum is not whatever utter rubbish some people would love to post, young people catch on quickly and soon develops.

You also have to take into account that whatever is posted on the forum stays on the forum for the eyes of everyone and anyone, this means that something you say is stuck there and could cause trouble well after is was posted and also makes the forum look bad. This is where the swearing comes in.
You may think it is acceptable to swear everyday in real life along with many others, plenty of people do it, however when it is on a forum and stuck in a post we do not need to see swear word after swear word just for the sake of trying to look good and not having anything at all better to say. If you can't control yourself not to swear on a forum and get irritated by it then that person is going to have problems.

Overall it might not suit you but it has to be the best for everyone around you as well.

[Jin]

WOW, I really can't believe this thread actually took this turn.

I would actually say the older members find that overall we have become a little bit more relaxed on the rule over the rules.

[Wootzeh]

I think mods are confused, it seems I have had so many infractions reversed lately that something needs to be done with the rules.

Also it seems if the slightest argument breaks out it gets stopped. Why? If it gets out of hand them sure I'm fine with that, but not if it stays civil. We don't need to be nicey nice to each other all of the time.

I disagree Jin, but then again your staff have it in for me :)

Because on a forum you can't send a group of people one way up the street and the other group in the opposite direction. Sure we could infract them, but would you be happy to get one for being involved in an argument when if it was in real life and at the least you wold be moved on by the police? No. We could ban them, but that would be too harsh. So arguments have to be clamped down so they cannot continue, if it comes about someone wants to continue trouble they get infracted, much like you would get arrested or a fine in real life for public order.

I really disagree with the comment that the staff have it in for you, i think if you were to consider your actions you wont have as many problems.

[Wootzeh]

You're saying all arguments are shouting at each other and the people are involved are ready to exchange blows though. They aren't, they can just be simple disagreements that happen in every day life, no police are needed to solve these as they aren't punishable.

[Catzsy]

Well post some links to threads which you think should not have beem closed otherwise people might think you are just sounding off. :)

[Jin]

There are arguments in which people disagree that's fine.

But most of the arguments looking at your posts adam are are when you provoke an argument by making a comment. Not saying you are the only one as a lot of people do it on the forums but these ones are the ones we try and stop.

Doesn't make our forums look welcoming if we have two members at each others throats in the most pointless argument.

[Alkaz]

Really, clubhabbo is more relaxed and habbox is more strict on rules etc, thats just different managers perceptions on what a safe community is. There are the options for everyone, 2 large fansites for habbo which are almost totally different, alot of people like the system here so dont go to clubhabbo and vise versa, I dont really feel no need for change tbh. Keeps the community nice to one and other.

[Jin]

I certainly know there are a few forums in which the community clashes greatly. Tech forums is one as people try and prove who is the alpha geek.

With a lax in the rules it would just be irritating to watch people rip it out of one another in that forum.

[Wootzeh]

not necessarily closed, but you get told to stop. e.g; HERE (http://www.habboxforum.com/showpost.php?p=5973252&postcount=32). I know I could pm Jake, but I don't use this forum for it's pm system, I would rather discuss things in the open.

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=595505 I know he asked for it to be closed, but there wasn't any need, I was handling the situation with him telling my my family sponges off the state fine and calmly and would have enjoyed to know why he said that.

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=595091 - There was only one inappropriate comment so why was that closed?

And Jin, there's a difference I believe to being at each others throats and disagreeing with each other and trying to explain both sides. Nor do my posts 'rip it out of' a forum member, I think you're exaggerating a little.

[Jin]

You have misinterpreted my post.

The ripping comment was more of a general statement, not directed to you in anyway and I am certain I did say that a disagreement is fine.

Yeah some of your posts do tread a fine line hence why moderators seem to have to take action against you although you seem to believe that they are deliberately targeting you.

[Wootzeh]

ah ok :)

Which is probably why I'm posting, moderators need to be aware of what is sound and what isn't. As I'm tired of losing access to the forum for maybe days at a time, only for the infraction to be reversed.

[Jin]

It shall be passed on to management.

[Plank]

The rules on here seem common sense to me. They seemed to have halved in size since I first joined as well.

[lick]

close this!!!!!!!!!!! i did not want to talk about the filter :'(

you can't even have a joke without getting infracted or warned

[Immenseman]

i have numerous jokes and don't get warned or infracted. the times i have done and it has been a joke providing you prove it's a joke, it'll be removed. simple.

then why did you have to say

"this is a joke" yesterday if you can say them freely :S

[FlyingJesus]

You can't joke quite like I enjoy doing on here because of how easily it could cause offence, and often there's not an easy way to know who's joking and who's really ripping into someone. If I made a post claiming that someone was well overweight and another that someone had a gigantic forehead and then another that someone was part of an incestual relationship, they could be aimed at one or many people and no-one would know whether I'm being serious or joking about (and in fact it could be a mix of both depending on what I posted) so yeah, it's an inconvenience not to be able to do so but it makes sense

Thanks :)I think the locking of threads is done far too often these days, it doesn't really seem a last resort anymore like it perhaps used to be. I wouldn't mind so much if something was achieved from locking the threads but the majority of the time, threads are just locked and no one's punished, hence why all the trouble continues.

Back to this thread here (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=595505) again, like you said, from Post 2, the thread had gone off the rails, why wasn't he warned for trolling or being rude? I believe that also applies to other people in the thread and also Clowgon was rude in return, it seems he was the only one punished for it, first being warned and then his thread locked. I think it's fair to say it wasn't really his fault anyway. This of course is just one example but I have mentioned it to yourself in the past and mentioned it in Habbox Feedback that Moderator's just take the easy way out by locking threads rather than punishing people.

[Black_Apalachi]

Of course you can have a joke without being warned/infracted. Jeeze :rolleyes:. I dunno what FlyingJesus is on about, do you mean that you say random things about people without being specific at who you are aiming the comment at?

Whatever. Just have some common sense and everything will be fine. It's obvious when I'm insulting someone in a joke kind of way because I'll probably say something like, "omgz you skamm :P". Obviously accusing someone of scamming is against the rules. But I'm sure you can tell if I'm talking in noob language and using happy smilies, then I can hardly be serious. Also whatever the context may be, would probably also suggest I'm joking.

However if you come across a thread where people are having a not too serious, but mature, discussion, and you come along and randomly post something like, "you are overweight" (as you mentioned as an example), people probably won't understand who it was aimed at and they wouldn't have been expecting humour which will result in your comment being taken seriously and thus leading to intervention from a mod, followed by a warning etc etc.

Simples :).

[Mint]

I agree with you mwah. I actually find it quite nice to post on other forums every now and then. I feel more free and know that the rules are much more relaxed. About your poem, I posted the real version of that a few months ago. You can read it by clicking here (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=580757) (ignore the story that I added, just put that in to add to the Lulz of it all). As you can see, quite a few people read it and commented on it yet the Mod's didn't seem to bother about it, how is my poem any different to yours? But hang on, I think yours got removed because it focused on them being illegal and we do have quite a few illegal immigrant hxf regulars so you know, best to get it removed so it doesn't offend any of them. :rolleyes: But to be serious, saying that the poem is "Borderline racist" is just what you could call "Nanny society", it clearly isn't saying anything about black/brown skinned people or Pakistani/Indian/African/Polish people, just illegal immigrants. Therefore the only people it would offend are illegal immigrants, and removing it because of that is just another example of the rules being too strict as I'm quite certain that we don't have any illegal immigrants browsing/using hxf. Now you might say "even though it isn't offending people using the forum it is still classed as offensive material", who gives a ****! IT AIN'T OFFENDING ANYONE SO WHY GO AND MOVE IT!!!!!????

your poem and his were practically the same, you say it's not targetting one group of people yet you'rer saying your poem was on behalf of pakistanis so that's wrong. yours should have been removed even though i found it funny and yes you are still offending people, just because there aren't any illegal immigrants there are people who don't believe in targetting that people just because of what they're doing so it could offend them

[e5]

It's easy to behave. If you want more freedom to be naughty, go to clubhabbo. Having strict rules is good as it teaches us maybe not to be so rude etc.

[Immenseman]

some people deserve rude behaviour towards them though, lets be honest.

Haha erm, speaking of ClubHabbo anfd their rules btw, someone recently brought up that they don't allow advertisments of other fansites in signatures. I later noticed that SkaterChu's HxF account has a link to Clubhabbo! Lol :P.

Maybe that's not very relevent actually, but I found it a bit of a joke. Ah! maybe it is relevant after all then!! :D

I dont agree at all and there is little evidence to suggest this. Lots of rule breaking is 'disguised' a joke. Mods wait to see what the reaction is to the post or if it is reported. If the member 'targeted' responds in a joking way well fine but if not calling people names or making fun of them is rude. Why should sarcasm not be penalised if it's rude too? The minority who rulebreak and it is a minority should not be allowed to spoil it for the others on the forum because of their conviction that they think they are in the right all the time. Is harrassing a member because he doesn't agree with another member acceptable? There are some who just have a rude attitude, lack of respect for others or simply not understanding or caring about other members feelings. It is not funny to call members names and it is not funny to bully members - those who find it so have to accept the consequences and tbh some of them do without complaint.

As far as the thread locking goes on a personal note I agree all rule breaking should be dealt with.

I remember Skaterchu being a pretty good Mod in his time here.

They were alot more lenient back in the day, but Habbox now have Habbo breathing down its neck like an elephant on heat, so rules have to be implemented and stricter.

Some moderators seem to forget what an argument actually is, but the majority of arguments seem to carry on as they should. There were a few in the past that were closed for what appears to be no reason - two people having a go at each other so the whole thread apparently has to be closed, but that was so long ago I can't remember what it was about and where :/

The only thing on my mind about moderators was one said that an argument between Macs and PCs should not arise in a thread where both were being discussed, which was an incredibly stupid thing to say and I'm amazed he wasn't sacked for stupidity, because arguments can and will happen over such things - the imbesile was/is probably one of these moderators who doesn't understand what an argument is :/

Other than that, it's fine.

I dont agree, i think HxF has got alot better rule wise, and compared to how it used to be there's alot less fighting regarding how Habbox is ran, how the rules are too strict and alot less infractions being handed out let alone warnings. I prefer it how it is now to 2 years ago.

Ah, ok - but way back when for example in the jackhb/seatcats days i'd say u could get away with one hell of alot more than now :P

I guess, yeah and they had alot more sense of humour, allowing you to have alot more jokes with the management team and getting away with it then now, although Nvr does seem to be slipping up more and being more down to earth with users and having jokes with them too.

I generally think Habbox is going through the stages to reach the older times when Jackhb and Seacat were around, as even MattG is more down to earth then some previous forum managers.

We'll have to see. (:

Yea, i'd definitely agree habbox is on the right path. It was good way back when, hit a cliff at one point and has slowly being climbing back ever since :p

To keep in with the metaphor though i would say the current generation of management and staff invested in a hot air balloon :) IMO one of the best staff sets habbox has had in a long long while.

Fact nvr will openly discuss disagreements, rather than just randomly banning people is another great thing - probably helped out by the fact he's got the debating skills to win more than his fair share of em :p

I couldn't agree more, Nvr is the best for having a real debate with and a mature one at that, He's no doubt one of the best Habbox staff members habbox will have to this date, and how he really does talk to the members (Essay posts!).

Couldnt ask for anyone better to run habbox at this date. (:

i was looking through old threads yday and that made it clear to me that things are a lot stricter now. the rules are alright though.

[leah]

I think that some infractions are given too lightly, for instance when personal jokes are used. Otherwise, everything works well and the rules keep the forum in shape.

[Catchy]

i think habbox are far too up tight.
