Cybering is not the Habbo Way!

[xxMATTGxx]

This was just posted on the Habbo blog as people started asking staff if cybering was allowed or not! :P


After launching the revamped version of the Habbo Way, we received quite a few questions and comments from you regarding cybering and web cams. It seems that we were not being clear enough and we want to make absolutely sure that you know that our position is as follows:

We do not promote or allow explicitly sexual content. Cybering and cam requests are strictly forbidden in Habbo.


Any person caught engaging in cybering (meaning: talk simulating sex) in Habbo will be muted immediately as a warning. Repeat offenders will be banned.
Any person caught trying to solicit someone to leave Habbo for camming on other sites will be banned.
Any room that is set up to clearly signal cybering activities will immediately be shut down.



We encourage flirting and getting to know others in Habbo. Habbo is a place of free and responsible self expression. We will not, however, tolerate any chat that simulates sexual behavior. To avoid any further misunderstanding regarding this point, we have also changed the wording in the Habbo Way.

does this mean they are deleting bling beds

[lawrawrrr]

encourage flirting?

right ok

interesting....


i've never seen anyone banned for actually cybering before though, when they are it's because someone reported them for one word or something...

[Pigperson]

Lol I love they they encourage flirting. Why would you date on Habbo without getting to know the person in real life :S

Encourage flirting, that actually made me laugh..

Might start flirting then accidently end up in a dirty talk, still encouraging it now?

[MKR&*42]

Lol, awks when one of the beds from Valentine's 2012 range vibrates when 2 people are inside it?

If people have known each other for ages and want to date via Habbo and other services, fine. But for people who meet up in these date rooms and barely know each other for more than a minute, is just silly. Half those rooms are filled with floods for webcam anyway.

Anyway, thought the cybering rule would have been fairly obvious tbf.

They need to stop promoting and encouraging it. Its ridiculous. They also need to start giving a warning before they mute because I have already managed to get one when I wasn't engaging in any explicit talk.

[iBlueBox]

But doesn't habbo promote this? such as advertising about dating

also if you look at the navigator the most popular rooms are rooms about cybering,.

wow, whats the point in habbo anymore? me and @markeypee4; wont get to share our love anymore. But yeah ive gotten so many mutes and bans for this lmao

[Mathew]

Habbo are absolutely ridiculous. The fact that this was posted on the blog as opposed to the site is rubbish too. Anyone else starting to question whether they actually wanted to be associated with a game like this anymore..?

[Red]

Yes. I really don't get why they can't post their news on the main page. They make it so difficult and it's so annoying having it spread all over the place. If it wasn't for hxf, I wouldn't have a clue what was going on.

[Jazz]

lol, i dont see how they say cybering is bad but flirting is ok..

[geo]

yessssss i can still flirt with everyone on the hotel


gutted 4 u matt
