Recent A7 change

[Kyle]

Now that you've added something to the clause that prohibits image responses and asks for 'relevant text responses', what is going to happen about images that contain text? If the text within the image is relevant, surely you can't punish for it? @Chris (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=55895); Calum0812; @Drewar (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=3835); @e5 (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=30040); @lRhyss (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=74041);

This rule makes me SO angry.

Don't understand what was wrong with it. If the post has text that is relevant to the thread it should be fine. There is nothing different from posting the text or typing it. The image just makes it a little bit more fun.

your all boring

some text

Edited by e5 (Forum Moderator) - Please do not post pointlessly.

It isn't difficult to add some text to a post.

[Kyle]

That really didn't answer my question... It also isn't difficult to answer a question directly.

[Chris]

The rule is quite clear. Any post that contains an image with no text will be dealt with in the same way.

[e5]

I don't see why there has to be an issue made on EVERY detail that is changed. This rule has always been in place but it has just been written on paper so to speak.

[Kyle]

with no text? I asked about images that CONTAIN text. Don't you think it's a little silly to ask that users essentially regurgitate their post in text form? Surely it's taking advantage of the extra tokens they'll get for making their post longer?

because people disagree with them. no point implementing rules that don't make logical sense.

[e5]

To be fair, I did just answer your question but removed it as I wasn't 100% sure. I did say, as far as I am aware, this rules stands for images with texts, but I may be wrong :) something I can easily ask if I needed to.

All images.

Scenario 1: thread title: what is your favourite quote?
reply: http://i.imgur.com/kCwtd.jpg *user has been warned by uptightmoderator22: please do not post images without supplementary textual response

Scenario 2: thread title: what is your go-to dance to impress the ladies?
reply: http://i60.tinypic.com/2h6r5s2.gif *user has been warned.. don't post pointlessly

Scenario 3: question: do you present yourself differently in different contexts?
reply: http://i59.tinypic.com/oidpir.gif *user has been... you get the picture

These are just a few images I had to hand, other users will have more with more specific text or content. I just don't understand why you are penalising users that feel an image would express their opinion better at that very moment than text would. You seem to be trying to eradicate all images without justification. If users enjoy images and they contribute to a thread in their own way (ok i get it rolling eye gifs and the like do not, you can still label those pointless) then users should NOT be told that they are posting pointlessly.

[Chris]

Ok you have a point for the images containing text so we'll let you have those, however the text has to be relevant and any images without the text will still be dealt with.

[Jordan]

I thought that was the rule in the first place Chris. Now im confused have we basically gone no where then with the rule change.

Technically there was no rule about the images at all which caused it to be moderated inconsistently.

Thats completely irrelevant.

The problem actually laid with poor moderation and inconsistent application of the already established rule. The rule is 'pointless posting'. If an image contributes, it is not pointless just because it's an image. The addition of the extra clause wasn't actually needed, but going back on it now will make you look like silly so keep it if you like, just don't be so strict.

The whole point of the feedback forum is for threads lime this so perhaps its good that you posted it, plus looking silly on an internet forum is the least of my worries.

Anyway, the issue has now been sorted. You can check back to this (http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=796809&p=8113512#post8113512) thread to view the changes.

It can get you cautioned which will eventually get you banned.

Just be thankful I'm not stubborn enough to leave it the way it was.

Issue resolved. Thread closed, thanks.
