Permanent Bans - Still 11 Years?

[A.]

Hello!

I am an ooooooooold Habbo player. 10 years, 11 months, and about 20 days ago, I was banned for owning a retro (yes - hit me). I have had a reminder set in my email inbox for 11 years from the ban date, and that day is coming in early October.

Here's my dilemma: when "old Habbo" changed to "new Habbo," the ban lift date no longer appears on the website - it simply states "this avatar is banned from Habbo." I am worrying myself sick that maybe Habbo has removed the 11-year ban and instead opted for a completely permanent ban. I have not played in years, and thought it would be super nostalgic and awesome to return to my account 11 years later and relive my elementary school years, and here I am. I don't know if this is just a cosmetic change, or if this means that my ban is completely irreversible.

Can anyone confirm that, although Habbo's website no longer shows the actual unban date, that the ban will or will not be lifted on the original unban date? I have searched online everywhere, but unfortunately, all I can find are comments such as "someone knows the owner of Habbo irl and reported me so I got banned." Not helpful. :')

Thanks in advance! :)

I don't know for CERTAIN but I'd be really surprised if banned accounts survived the merge and account deletions? They've done it like 3 times in the last 10 years I think and deleted all accounts that haven't logged in for the last few years - which obviously you wouldn't have done, being banned?

It also wouldn't hugely surprise me if they HAD changed the decision, yknow, set the bans to be permanent...

On a side note I love that you've been counting down the days to be unbanned hahah!

Thanks for the reply! I can confirm the account isn’t “deleted” as my rooms are still visible and able to enter. I’m still able to see the account on my avatars page, just it states “this avatar is banned from Habbo” and I no longer have an unban date. Other accounts on the same ID are still around, so I’m hoping for the best! I’ll know by the end of this month. :)

That is very interesting! I have an idea - you can request your entire account history now (I made a thread about it here (https://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=846797&p=8544116#post8544116)) which might tell you for certain - but it can take up to a month to get that data.

I have to say if it says it's just banned I wouldn't be toooo confident about getting it back...

That’s a good idea - forgot about GDPR as I’m in US where our lawmakers don’t care about privacy as there’s money to be made selling data $$$$

My only issue is I can’t get to that page because I would have to have the ability to switch avatars 😂 unless GDPR applies to the entire Habbo ID. Will try it!

Get a ticket and request for the ban uplift. It wouldn't hurt to try ;)

Wish it was that simple! Haha. I tried and was advised that any bans longer than six months ago can not be appealed. This ban happened in 2007, so... :P cross fingers for Saturday!

[TinyFroggy]

I'm sure that if you already explained about the supposed to be only '11 years ban' to them, it would sort out nicely. I wish for everything to work out for you. Cross fingers! ;)

[Seatherny]

I do not know how the staff are now but just 6 months before redtiz left Habbo, I emailed her, we had about 20 email exchanges on various topics and she decided at the end to lift my ban. I had already left the game but having my account back was nice.

This may be of interest to you @Benjixcore (https://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=125380);

I was perm banned a long time ago by 0rca. Originally it was set to expire in 2020 - it was 2020 for a number of years but may be 5 years ago it started rolling, making the ban longer and therefore permanent. The account is linked to my ID, I can take a look at what the ban says now if you like?

@lawrawrrr (https://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=61966); thanks for the account history post. Nice to see their GDPR compliance. I'm not sure if this feature can be used by anyone as the GDPR relates to EU citizens? @Benjixcore (https://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=125380); just don't mention your nationality (:

I think it would be quite hard to limit the feature to IPs from the EU, and a bit of a waste of time? It’ll all be automated collecting the data etc... hmm

Yeah I assumed it would be for anyone but I haven't been on the site so didn't know if it said anything

Tracking IPs is pointless because of proxies, vpns etc

Hi! Sorry I missed your reply - thought I had notifications set to email me but apparently not.

Yesterday came and went and I’m still banned this morning. I hate that now there is no ban end date - just says that the avatar is banned. I did notice that a previously perm-banned account of mine is now showing its habbo home when it was previously hidden, indicating that it may be unbanned. No such luck with my account that was supposed to end its 11 year ban yesterday, though.

I find it strange that one account would unban after the 11 years for “abuse of hobba tools,” but my perm ban for owning a retro has stuck past the unban date. I was banned on the now-unbanned account back when they made anyone a silver hobba by filling out a form right before hobba was done-away with; I was holding a class in a locked room for new hobbas to learn how to use the alert function, and was banned for doing that. I’m very interested in regaining access to that account (have a help ticket open currently) to see if I would have an ex-hobba badge, but I doubt it as it was during the short window where thousands of people became one right before the program was scrapped.

Has anyone found a way to see the ban end date with the current redesign of Habbo? I wish more info would be displayed, other than “this avatar is banned.” Also, I noticed that my last login date does not appear like it does on my other banned accounts. Last login is blank. Could this be an indicator that something is amiss, possibly because I haven’t logged in post-merge, even though this is a Habbo.com account?

Thanks everyone for your detailed answers - I appreciate all your efforts to help. :)

Long story short:

Seems like I’m going to remain banned. It is a few days past the ban date, and I’m still banned. Submitting requests through the help tool receive an automated “you’re banned and you’ve been banned more than six months so we can’t help” response. The bottom of the ticket states you can create a follow-up, so I tried that too, also to which the automated response closes that ticket.

Habbo really really could do better in terms of customer service. I’m completely disappointed and let down. Why advertise a ban end date if it’s not accurate? Blah.

That’s a shame. What I can only assume is when they banned you they had no options of permanent bans so just picked the longest one... assuming people wouldn’t wait around for 10 years.

Their customer service/help tool is generally shocking - extremely underfunded and outsourced leaving people to just follow a script that doesn’t even make sense sometimes with more specific requests!

I have to say I’m not massively surprised you are still banned though; of what j said above is true they probably have kept a note of permanent bans and do intend to keep them that way.

Sorry you’re not getting it back!! :(

SO - I received my GDPR data and did some calculations. It seems that my unban date may have been set later than I expect. Let me attempt to explain how I calculated this:

1. The file that starts with activity-log: it contains a column called "Number Mins Banned." It seems that, for a permanent ban, this is 6311520, which is in minutes. Divide 6311520 by 60 mins per hour, and then 24 hours per day. This gives a figure of a 4,383 day ban - or 12.008 years. Most Habbo info on the internet normally lists a permanent ban as 11 years, but time-wise, it seems to calculate to 12 years and 3 days, assuming each year is exactly 365 days (not including leap years).
2. The file that starts with <account name>-<random numbers>-basic-data: the "Last Hotel Access" column should technically be the date that you were banned, as common sense will tell that you wouldn't be able to access the game after your ban date. In the Excel file, add +4383 to that date, and your technical unban date should appear. For me, this is a date in May 2019, and not the original September date that I had noted down for whatever reason.

If my calculations are correct, my ban may still be ending - just later than I thought. I may be completely incorrect, but the steps that I took are logical, and it would make sense if this works out. Either way, interesting to note!

We are all wishing you to regain your account back. 11 years is good enough for you to receive your punishment. All the best, bro :)

I've really got to login and check my ban. 08/09 seems like the right time frame for a 2020 date but I'm almost certain it rolled to, at least, 2022 last time I checked. I will get round to this!

Ya, exactly. Because of the changes to Habbo, the unban date no longer displays. This is why it’s a mystery.

Hey, this is slightly off topic (I apologise!), but I just made an account to ask you this question, haha. I saw your username and it was really familiar. I think I've been to some of you room as a kid years and years ago. I can't remember all of your rooms, but did you own one of those gyms with rollers and matts on? Where you could glitch it and make it look like you was running really fast?

Hope you get your account back asap, regardless! :)

Hahaha. Lots of people confuse me with A (without the dot) who owned the site’s most popular daycare room. She also designed a lot of really cool rooms. That’s probably who you’re thinking of. :P you’re welcome to add me, but I’m hardly ever online.

Any updates ?
Sorry for the push, but I'm in the exact same position, my account was banned mid 2008 and the 11 years are soon to be gone by.

Hi Akius,

I'll investigate my account now I have the files back from my information request. It could take me a while to get back to you but I will try my best. I'm not sure when my account was banned but it was a very long time ago. I suspect it will be a rolling ban as it wasn't automated. My account was created in 07 I think.

Update: It appears 0rca (the staff member who perm banned me) visited the helpdesk in 2011 (when I was banned), so it's unlikely my ban would be close to expiry yet. I'll still take a look though.

If @A. (https://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=125380);'s calculations are correct my ban will last until May 2023 (12 years) and May 2022 if 11 years.

I see, thanks for the insight, I did some researches and found out about a spanish website that debunked whether you get unbanned at the end of the ban or not, apparently you don't :x

It seems incredibly likely. For some reason 2020 has stuck in my head as a date for unban and I'm almost certain it rolled to 2022 before they updated the interface. We'll have to wait and see!

[DPS]

I asked a staff member years ago because i was banned in 2009 and they said once the perm ends it renews itself.

[Shox]

It's May 2019, did OP try to see if he was unbanned yet?

[Zak]

@Shox (https://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=1066); I don't think so. It's likely he will revisit in the future though.

To follow up on this:

https://i.imgur.com/eIhr8mh.jpg

My screenshot way back in 2009 shows a ban length of 4167 days. This is likely a "permanent ban" duration, certainly as it was back then.

EDIT: Unbelievably I still have the screenshot showing when the ban expires

0rca visits helpdesk on 20-05-2011 and bans me
Ban expires 16-10-2022

20-05-2011 + 4167 days =

Hellooooo! Sorry for the late reply, for some reason Habbox emails are going to my spam folder and I didn’t see your response until now. My sincerest apologies!

I just checked, and it seems that my account is still banned. I’m replying from mobile, not near the PC where I saved my ban calculation. May still isn’t over yet, so there’s a slight glimmer of hope. I’ll update you guys by end of May when my luck has either run out, or I went to buy a lottery ticket because the ban is over. ��

One of the few threads on the internet I found regarding this matter. Are we really the only ones questioning this? I made an account on this website to place my reply, as I found a way to calculate your approximate unban-date, without a GDPR request:

Simply log on to Habbo and go to avatar selection. Now it's time to inspect the coding of the Habbo website. Right-click in the screen and click "Inspect" (or shortkey Ctrl+Shift+I). Now click the "Select element" button (or shortkey Ctrl+Shift+C), and select the last login date (i.e. "11 years ago"). In the"<time>" section you will find "datetime=" with your last login date and time, accurate to the second (i.e. "2008-10-26T16:58:34.000Z").

To end with a confirmation: In the Habbo housekeeping/all-seeing-eye there were options to ban a user for an X-amount of hours. The maximum amount of hours listed in there was 100.000. This equals 4167 days (rounded up), as already stated in this thread. Add 4167 days to your last login date, and your unban date should appear. In my example, the unban date would be 24-3-2020.

Awaiting A.'s reply to this thread to (hopefully) confirm that his perma-ban is off.

[lopster12345]

I too just made an account as I knew my unban should be happening right around now. My memory of my ban was it was only 10 years, and I never believed it to be permanent. I submitted a GDPR request that is pending and did the "inspect" trick that the was mentioned before my post. It's presumed I was banned on 2008-02-09 at 12:53:29pm. Which means if there's any hope that an auto unban will happen, my original 10 year assumption was incorrect as that would have already passed. If it was 4167 days as I'm hearing is most common, then I'll be checking again July, 8th of this year, but I'm not very hopeful. Just like many people here I'm frustrated that my account that I had spent a lot of money on in the past may never get returned to me despite it having a timed expiry date.

Sorry I didn't have much input, but I stand with you all with hope.

Hello!

I've been waiting patiently, but at this time, I unfortunately have nothing positive to report. I just tried through the website, and the settings page is going to the "oh bobba, page not found" landing - seems that there is maintenance going on right now.

I did, however, log into the account on the iOS app. I can switch avatars, but when I try to switch to the banned account, I get logged out. Not sure if this is normal behavior, but I can *see* the account in the iOS avatar switcher. That avatar's Habbo profile is also still directing to the "bobba page not found" page, which I believe to be a sign that it is still indeed banned.

I'll keep trying, but looks like bad news to anyone who may be waiting-out a perm ban. :(

Edit: is the entire site down? I can't get the game to load at all on my laptop, even on a non-banned account. Getting a disconnected error as soon as I open the hotel page.

Me again! Looks like I have no good news. The account is still banned. Seems that Habbo has indeed made bans absolutely permanent and irreversible.

Well isn't that lovely! :l

You can actually see if your ban is permanent or not by sending a post request to the Habbo backend (api/user/avatars/select (https://www.habbo.com/api/user/avatars/select)). You have to specify the uniqueId of your account in the request body and set the right headers (cookie). The response of that request will tell you if your ban is permanent or not.

Example response for a banned account I have (not allowed name):

{
"message": "user.avatar_banned",
"reason": "Name is not allowed",
"expiryTime": null,
"permanentBan": true,
"avatarName": "...",
"sanctionReasonId": null,
"provideExtraSupport": true
}

I checked an account, which was banned like 11 years ago (should be unbanned by now) for scamming and the response is the same, only the reason is different..

Thanks for offering your help! It seems like you registered just to reply, as you’ve made only one post. I really appreciate that you took the extra time to do that.

I’m working to figure out how to do this :P I’ve sent in a help ticket to Habbo, but will die of surprise if they even read it before “Alexander” the bot in the help tool auto-closes the ticket.

You can actually see if your ban is permanent or not by sending a post request to the Habbo backend (api/user/avatars/select (https://www.habbo.com/api/user/avatars/select)). You have to specify the uniqueId of your account in the request body and set the right headers (cookie). The response of that request will tell you if your ban is permanent or not.

Example response for a banned account I have (not allowed name):

{
"message": "user.avatar_banned",
"reason": "Name is not allowed",
"expiryTime": null,
"permanentBan": true,
"avatarName": "...",
"sanctionReasonId": null,
"provideExtraSupport": true
}

I checked an account, which was banned like 11 years ago (should be unbanned by now) for scamming and the response is the same, only the reason is different..

Oh! But I do see expirydate null, meaning the ban in your example is absolutely permanent with no expiration date. I’m still unable to replicate this with ?uniqueId - regardless I am getting following error:

Cannot GET /api/user/avatars/select

Any help on what I should change would be appreciated. So close, yet so far!

It's a POST request, uniqueId is the id of your avatar, you can get that by viewing the avatars get request in your browser -> network tab. You can see the cookie for the header in any request.

hi guys... just wondering if there have been any updates to your accounts??? as the new decade is approaching one thing is constantly on my mind .... my first few habbo accounts are going to be unbanned! i found this thread after searching for proof of anyone being unbanned after a "perm"....

a bit off topic - the whole thing about habbo not supporting ban appeals after 6 months is absolutely WACK...... i remember a couple of years ago (2016) i appealed for an account that was perm banned in 2009... they replied with why i was banned, along with what i said to get me banned (which all took place in 2010ish) so they can definitely retrieve habbo chats from before then.... then i appealed again in probbaly 2018 and that's when they told me they don't keep receipts after 6 months of a ban....

anyway yeah... just wondering if there's any updates :)

Sorry this is an observation rather than anything helpful, but I do really like the idea of banned users returning after over a decade. Seems to me given A.'s situation that Habbo never thought this far ahead!

I demand an update!
