habbo chat COMPLAINT

[Mathew]

why can you say couldnt wouldnt shouldnt wont dont ill

but you can't say couldn't wouldn't shouldn't won't don't i'll

UGH WHY ARE THEY ENCOURAGING THE IMPROPER USE OF GRAMMAR?????

[Munex]

Suggest it in the park, if you haven't already. It's a good idea.

[MKR&*42]

Because they're imbeciles.

No seriously, it's because people could bypass the number limit previously by doing apostrophes - e.g. I could have given my phone number by going 07123'''''''''45678''''''''''9. That's not my number btw, I wouldn't put it past you to think that x

It also would have allowed you to get past rude words aha. It's really silly this chat system.

[Samantha]

Yeah they wont allow things like that's it's and stuff either. It's stupid, although many don't talk properly on the internet I use apostrophes a lot.

[Munex]

I don't think apostrophe on their own are censored, though. Even if they are, other punctuation is not, so I don't think it's to do with bypassing things.

[lawrawrrr]

you cant even say but


it's so annoying.

It is to do with bypassing things, it won't allow you to put anything after an apostrophe to stop you bypassing something like the number filter (in the old case) or in current times, highlighting the rude parts of words. E.g. Anyone got a CAM'''''''eron.

*Touches your but*

[Empired]

This thing is annoying me. How do they expect the already mostly illiterate population of Habbo to learn grammar if they are not allowed to use it?

[Jarkie]

That's what I meant by other punctuation is not censored, so I'm confused why they would ban apostrophes due to people bypassing things.

I think it's because before you couldn't bypass with other punctuation :P Especially via forums. I didn't realise you could do it via full stops now aha my bad.
Mathew; go with my first answer, cause they're silly ok x

[geo]

thank god it's temporary but still it's bloody annoying. can't say much at all, might as well just mute us again until they can sort it out lol.

[LiquidLuck.]

I'm freaking out with this chat, srsly. You can't say ''but'' which is totally stupid, you can't say most real names like Richie or Mathew or my own, or ''probability'' or anything like it, and it's so so so annoying!

You can't say ''hating'', awesome.

Paul has always said that habbo isn't a place where they want to teach users proper grammar use. They are a social network, not a school.

You can go into the picnic area and suggest words to be added though.

[Empired]

You can't even say numbers can you though? Like 1 2 3 4 etc and you can't say a number above ten or something can you? Idk the exact limit

Where did he say that? My studies in English Language, Psychology and Sociology would suggest otherwise.... :rolleyes:..

Not on their own, but you can say 1c/2c/3c/ etc... or 1g/2g/3g... etc - not sure what it goes up to! :D

Oh ok, well I guess that makes sense or all coin shops would be dead too!
