You may have noticed over the past few weeks an increase of banned users and random threads linking you off habbox forum. This is due to an influx of what we call spam bots. Spam bots are not real users, they make multiple accounts to post their external website links throughout the forum.

What to do if you see one of these threads from an unknown user filled with lots of external links?

1) DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINKS!
2) Report the post by clicking on the "!" at the bottom left of the post (Looks something like this https://www.habbox.com/staffupload/../assets/images//cbffba96815350396718a0806a143d9a.png https://www.habbox.com/staffupload/../assets/images//092e02acef4003cd2a06f960219b33e6.png https://www.habbox.com/staffupload/../assets/images//cacdf31c3195f6ead16a93bbae366c4a.png)
3) State the reason being "Spam Bot"
4) A member from the forum team will investigate the report
5) credits/tokens reward might occur for users who help keep the forum safe

Any questions and/or comments then please don't hesitate to contact a member of the forum team.

We have been dealing with them as fast as we can to eliminate the risk of link clicks but unfortunately we cannot be online 24/7 so please report and do not click the links!
