Bad rep me all you want, this is more of a parody then real

1. If you sign up for a forum, don't use your habbo name, if you do, don't use your habbo password. Look at Habbox forum, got broken into multiple times, if your forum name and password are the same as your habbos. Bam, 30 people easily hacked.

2. Whilst on MSN or AIM, again, don't have it as your habbo name. If so, don't have the same password. If its a in real life friends only AIM or MSN, whatever no one from you real life goes on habbo.

3. Don't accept files from people you don't know or people who you know but are acting suspicious. If they act suspicious, they could have been logged themselves.

4. Don't buy credits for rares unless there is a Hobba/Mod watching. It works. If you can't get ahold of a hobba, make a clone and claim to be one, usaully noobs who are trying to scam will back down. You still get scammed, you *****ed.

5. Don't give out your password to anyone. I gave out mine today but I have the person who I gave it to phone number. Its either never give out your password, or only give it to people who you can black mail. Blackmail
is the numberone way to get the point across that you are mad.

6. Don't go to any website that has to do with scripting if it ends with .tk, or .cjb.net. Most .com/net websites you can trust because if you get logged, you can file a lawsuit. That will scare the owner and will most likely get you your stuff back. That'll give them a run for their money. Also, you can trust most .tk sites if they're linked to .com/net scripting sites such as stevoslabs or Krews.

7. Don't be stupid. Think before you act. Help centres never work, don't try.
Flood the call for help, one message a minute or 45 seconds, try it for 3 minutes, you should get a responce.

8. After all this you still get scammed, read terms and conditions. 90% you won't get your stuff back because you didn't buy it.

9. If you get all emo over losing a R BIRDBATH! No one cares to hear you whine, they'll only think you're a noob. Act mature.

On this forum, your passwords are unaccessable to admin (atleast thats how it is on most vB forums) So scrap #1

It's a good post because you touch on a few points that others tend to be unaware of.

3.5 In any event the User agrees that Sulake UK Ltd's liability for all damages and losses (including negligence) shall not in any circumstances exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the Website.

There is a flaw in 3.5 in that it doesn't state "paid by you to Sulake Ltd."

Meaning that when in court you would be able to file costs for any fees or any other alternative payments incurred while accessing the hotel.
