self pics in avatars?

[Catchy]

are these allowed now? 'cause I've seen people with their pictures in their avatars recently. I thought that was something which was always going to be banned? Certainly management made out it was going to be banned forever anyway when I caused a fuss about it a few years ago...

[despect]

Yeah its allowed now, got changed about a month or so ago :P.

[Catchy]

That's so annoying because, when I bought up the subject ages ago management were proper kicking off about it...

[karter]

why was it not allowed considering the fact that their is an immensely popular thread here called 'post a picture of yourself' :S

Opinions can also change and the way that management make decisions can also change. One of those 2 reasons were probably the cause (as I'm sure when it was brought up, management didn't listen to the community as much as they do now? Unless I'm dreaming).

If I can remember they were scared people would get bullied lol. If people didn't want to get bullied then the answer was simple, don't put a picture up... Other people were saying that they wouldn't want to look at peoples faces if they were annoying or w/e where as with papoy they have to click to see.

Because apparently forcing pictures of yourself to other users wasn't allowed, the post a picture thread someone had to actively click on it.

[Jurv]

if they want to use pictures of themselves in their avatars why not lol just look how fab i look

[lawrawrrr]

dont start criticizing management for listening to people or literally nothing will get done

sometimes it takes more than 1 (or 24 billion) suggestions for them to implement something cos circs change

Err I'm not criticizing anyone thank you very much, so why don't you get off your high horse lol. I was simply saying it's funny how they were all saying it would probably never be allowed and hey look now it is when I didn't really see anyone requesting it but oh well.

well it takes about 20 seconds to read the faqs instead of making a thread to show how bitter you are that it wasn't your direct suggestion they acted on

management have changed quite a lot lately in a lot of aspects, not to mention the physical changes meaning a completely new aspect & outlook

Well considering I don't even know where the FAQs are, I thought I'd create a thread. Sorry, is there some sort of problem with that? Bitter lol, I honestly couldn't care less, I was just curious and I thought it was funny that's all...

Woo go management...

[FlyingJesus]

Jacob there is a link saying FAQ at the top of the forum lmao but yeah I didn't know this had changed tbh just thought mods were being slow

[xxMATTGxx]

There was a poll back in May in regards of this.

You did vote in the poll about it. So looks like you've probably forgotten :P

[FlyingJesus]

Oh I probably voted against and just assumed I'd win idk

[xxMATTGxx]

Oh I probably voted against and just assumed I'd win idk

You voted for "I don't mind either way" :P

[Chris]

It was probably one of the old forum managers who said no to it when you fussed previously. When it was suggested again earlier this year, I must admit that I wasn't too keen on the idea. Instead of outright saying no, we ran a poll which resulted in the rule being changed to allow avatars of yourself. It hasn't been a problem since so it worked out well in the end.

Yeah, I guess the user base has changed since then anyway so makes sense peoples attitudes have changed. FlyingJesus; my eyesight ain't that good you know!!

[Absently]

i just hate the idea completely

[lawrawrrr]

thing is i'd never put an avatar of myself on (prob) but im not gonna judge people who do, and if they're bullied because of it then there's a report system and a 'dont use an avatar' option

[-:Undertaker:-]

Always glad to see a stupid rule abolished, very good news.

[Eoin247]

Wasn't it Hecktix that was in charge then? I think i remember it being brought up back then. Was a stupid rule TBH ,

If it was Oli then that speaks for itself really. :P

[lawrawrrr]

It was a rule that lasted into current management as well, but Oli was quite against it as far as I remember!

[Chippiewill]

Can't say I agree with the change myself

But habbox has turned into a direct democracy now so hey-ho.

[lawrawrrr]

WHY ARE PEOPLE CRTICISING NOW WHEN THIS CHANGE WAS IMPLEMENTED SO LONG AGO

AND THERE'S LIKE 2 PEOPLE WHO HAVE PICS OF THEMSELVES


IT'S VERY GOOD HABBOX IS A DEMOCRACY IMO

Why?

[FlyingJesus]

I don't hate that people can have pictures of themselves (unless they're hideous) but I'm not a fan of Habbox going all democratic on everything. We're supposed to be able to trust in forum/upper management to make big decisions, not let it go to rule of the majority - especially considering how stupid the majority is

[Samantha]

I always thought it was for safety and that's why it wasn't allowed previously. If you want to look at PAPOY you need a forum account, if you want to look at someone's profile you should need a forum account (I'm not too sure on this). I don't mind the rule either way, I believe it's become a lot easier to moderate them as you couldn't always be 100% sure if it was them in some cases.

[Chippiewill]

Why don't you agree with it?
Because I don't want to see people's **** ugly faces.

yeah it's quite an old rule change now, it feels like it's been like this forever! :)

[Onirela]

im just glad we can have ourselves in them now

100% agree.

TBH I AGREE WITH THIS.

Tried to explain why but I ended up deleting that and just writing this. It's too hard to explain why, I just don't like it.

[Munex]

Why does it bother anyone? People complaining are probably getting agitated because they feel like they might be pressured to put their only ugly face up.
