moderation is SO strict

[immense]

that is a lie. for those who say that... you're lying. when i first signed up i remember my first infraction was for double posting, from a current admin in fact :O! anyway, yeah. thread to say that i love the moderation being more lenient.

and ftao supernic if she sees this. you know that pm and i said someone said you could use that word, i checked who it was and it was saurav so :@ u win

[Hecktix]

Thanks Jake :) I think my first infraction was for posting in the wrong forum :'(

[dirrty]

i agree. people just can't accept that when they take things too far, punishment is required to get them back in line. you can still say things to others without breaking rules and thus not getting any infractions/warnings - easy to say whats on your mind in a diplomatic way.

[immense]

well the moderation could be more lenient but it's improved since 06/07.

and yeah preposterous, i GENERALLY accept my punishments and when i don't they're usually reversed anyway or i admit they're right like i did earlier wid nicola

ICH BIN OLI ICH BIN FUHRER! WORSE THAN MAD!

lol I kid Oli - it's goood.

[Hecktix]

well the moderation could be more lenient but it's improved since 06/07.

Certain parts of our more "strict" (which arent really that strict) rules are liked by a lot of members though and it's sometimes a positive thing people highlight when comparing us to other fansites.

The moderation team is great! How can anyone say the moderation team is too strict?! I've broken rules loads of times and I only get a PM saying don't do it again. Cheers all Mods and Admins :)

[immense]

huh? i think hxf is the strictest fansite by far but that's not necessarily a bad thing

[xxMATTGxx]

Cheers for the thread Jake, I'm sure the Moderation department will love this. I don't remember my first usernote/warning/infraction, I don't think I have ever had one before. :O

Yeah that's what I was trying to say :D

I always preferred Habbox because it was a bit more strict and professional (this was when I just used it as a member).

[Grig]

Lol my one and only infraction was from 2005 for posting a news article which was old news in the Habbo UK news and rumours forum. It went straight to an infraction :(.

But yeh well done, much more open view and that is something great. Keep up the good work!

[Richie]

it is more lenient but some things need to be chillaxed like posting youtube vids with a few swear words my first infraction was off bolt for being sexualy explicit

[Sharon]

ah it is pretty good wdwd xx

[hah]

Thanks Jake :) I think my first infraction was for posting in the wrong forum :'(

i do that for fun sometimes lol


Yeah i agree it isnt as bad as this time last year with

"dont post to cause arguments" on all my posts

[immense]

i still get that lmao :l but it's ok i accept it

[Tintinnabulate]

[W00TZEH]

hi, no-one has complained about it lately, this thread is pointless

[The Professor]

I agree, from what I've seen they have the right balance of strictness and leniency atm :)

[immense]

hi, yes they have, check the forum. your post is pointless.

[Tintinnabulate]

it was you, check msn logs

Oh haha yeah sorry. It only works in Current Affairs :P ;).

[W00TZEH]

I believe Habbox is strict but fair :)

[AgnesIO]

I do like the mod department in general. I still think you should get away with saying 'shut p' since even my teachers say that to us, but in general they do do a good job, and are not as strict as they used to be,

[Nicola]

Lool thanks Jake, I was wondering why you didn't reply back to me!

I agree, I don't think we're overly strict but if we weren't a little harsh at times then I think everything would be all over the place with rules been broken a lot more than they are now.

you like 11, they have to be nice to you -.-'

[immense]

Just to add to them not being as strict. I am in no way shape or form saying the moderation is perfect. I have had random usernotes in the last week that have to be reversed. I will ask about my most recent one too because I have a post from a current member of General Management saying a similar thread is OK. Leniency in some respects is better. If it was up to me everyone would be a super mod and respected users. They do a fabulous job though and being one myself I know it's not very rewarding so hat off to them :)

[ChickenFaces]

Well strict moderation equals professionalism equals giving Habboxforum a good reputation among other fansites. It's not as bad as it seems anyway. MattGarner just loves it when I break the rules doncha? ;) Lol kidding I've stopped :)

[Richie]

Yeah jake your right they aren't strict at all

[Becca]

lol, I have four infractions but I deserve them all so what's the point in arguing? ;s

[immense]

i don't get what that's trying to prove richie or maybe you just don't understand this thread

[Richie]

Well I'm basically saying they don't seem to give a **** about pointless posting and spam outside the spam section.

[immense]

good point........ oh wait :S lmao, no. just no.

[Catzsy]

They have not been considered to be pointless, Richie so that's why we are not taking action.

plus rep. funny how when other users do it, he doesn't moan. if i was told to make them more constructive, i'd happily alter the original post :)

Okay so say if I made 30 threads in fashion and clothes within 15mins and they are all legitimate questions about fashion and clothes, would that be perfectly fine?

yes? why should it matter if you wait 10mins before posting or do it straight away?! if they were legitimate and differing from one another then yup.

[Mikey]

woo go mikey :) you wouldn't get that now (even before the 15 min merge update) would just be a user note. nice they're more lenient on mistakes like that because more often than not it's the new users who make those mistakes :)

Well it's a PM really, not the usernote that counts. In those cases the usernote is purely posted to simply ensure the mod is doing their job correctly - I can't spy on their PMs to new members otherwise!

I can remember when I first became a mod we had to send PM's and add usernotes for people posting in the wrong place - this soon changed though :)

[Catzsy]

Well I guess so as it stands at the moment as long as you did not block up the new posts view. :)

[danzooo]

Lenience is the mod policy, we're just here to keep things on the straight and narrow, we don't get too worked up about little things anymore.
