I disagree with this, regardless of whether or not damage has been caused to Habbox, I disagree with volunteers being fired when their account's become compromised. Staff put a lot of time and effort into Habbox and I find it extremely unfair that these Volunteers are being punished due to the actions of the Hacker.
I disagree with General Management's inability to maintain a consistent approach to such instances, resulting in differing outcomes where one Volunteer gets fired while another is allowed to stay, it should be the same outcome regardless of the damage caused to Habbox.

EDIT:
don't understand why this threads being locked considering it's feedback on the current rules, something this forums for?
It's closed because the prior thread on the matter was address and locked by Matt Garner. If you have any further issues with this they should be addressed through means of a complaint thread, not additional threads in feedback when the General Manager quite clearly gave a lengthy resolution on the manner and locked the thread ~ HU

I will try to make this crystal clear because I believe there is a misunderstanding here:
1. We dismiss staff members proceeding being hacked only if the circumstances of the situation are such that their being hacked imposes or imposed a threat to the security of the fansite. If a staff member is hacked on Habbo and no threat is made toward Habbox due to this, then they will not be fired as is the case with Luke. Luke is not being dismissed and the events of him being hacked are not to be correlated with any acts of discipline put forth to Luke (in layman's terms, he's in absolutely no trouble for being hacked, because it had no repercussions affecting Habbox).
2. We will not dismiss individuals whom were hacked due to consequences completely out of their control (such as when bugs in vBulletin, Sulake's Habbo client or Nullsoft software are exploited). The majority of "hacked" dismissals are executed after the discovery that our staff member was careless about their own security.
3. The dismissals our Managers choose to make, as well as the General Management team are absolutely nobody else's business exceeding that of the former staff member, and administration of the fansite. Therefore I shall politely request that you stop reminiscing about Joe, anyone else who was fired in the past, and about Luke (again, he's not even being dismissed, much for several reasons you outlined in your post). Please do not create additional threads, we are fully aware of the responsibilities of mandating when it is just and unjust to dismiss staff members due to hacking occurrences.
