I just got told to stop abusing the reporting tool on habbo and got banned for using it after reporting someone for reffering to me as a "black *****" and a "black ****" "Ghandi" and "the son of rosa park".

I was really shocked when I got a reply straight away from reporting it to be told that I have to use the report tool for SERIOUS issues and not to abuse it, and then after the person continued to be racist I went to report again to be informed that I was banned from reporting for 10 minutes.

Nice one moderators :dance:

It's stupid - I'm not so bothered since it was my habbo that was black and I'm not irl but if I was and had to take abuse like that from them and they replied to me like that then that's just ridiculous

Typical habbo moderators. I dont know how they still have their jobs. :L

Plus, how was that not a serious issue?

To be fair, I think habbo mods are really clever.

If you just pretend no serious reports are being sent in, it makes it look like habbo is super safe!

Genius :L

True but then you treat everything as a joke and then something serious happens and the news finds out and everything goes to pot.

I got warned a few times for report "abuse" even though i've never reported a non genuine report.

Yeah Scott I got called things like a '******' etc and they did nothing at all.
It's rediculous.

They say 'put them on ignore' but seriously that's bad. Racism should be stamped out and the people doing it banned. Ignore flooding, annoying people yes but ban this sort of stuff. I don't think you abused the tool by the sound of it.

Maybe that's the strategy they've taken; Don't do anything, dont encourage it, dont aggrivate it and just ignore it and it will go away on it own. It's a good phylisophy, but it can take ages before any outcome can be seen, and theres no way of knowing if it will have any permanent effect.

Still, it shouldn't be tolerated and those moderators should be ashamed not to think of what it might to do people who are black, or any ethic origin. Just because they're being represented by a bunch of pixels doesn't mean they won’t be affected just the same as any other person.

I don't even think the moderators read the report because I swear as soon as I reported them I got the message back saying it's for serious abuse only lol :S

They say that AUTOMATICALLY, to everything though. Just slack-ness.

See I still think the hotel was much better moderated during the Hobba program.

Even though I agree with the hobba program, Im wondering if the sheer size of habbo is inhibiting its mod service,they need to stop being stingy and hire more mods.


I usually get my reports responded to well but one time someone said to a girl with a 1999 birthdate in her habbo name 'Im going to find out where u live and have s*x with you, whether you like it or not'

I reported and mod replied 'Please tell me what is going and and give me more information...i dont understand'

Same thing kinda happened to me, I reported someone for being extremely racist and insulting yesterday as well as saying inappropriate things directed at under age children which I would consider to be quite serious yet the moderator didn't mute or ban the individual and I was told to just "ignore annoying Habbos"

Totally agree and they were visible and present to help.
