You guys are just jelous that somebody underage is a hobba while you can't be. You ignore the fact that Zycon might be a good hobba, and that it could actually benefit you in the end - because if the experiment goes well, there will be more under 18 guides/mods.

I'm not jealous, the only reason I'm talking about this is because Habbo are corrupt!

The Plot Thickens!

Firstly, yes I am jealous, but mostly I'm angry at how unfair this is. As I have already stated several times in this thread I had already applied when the age changed, but nonetheless was told I would have to wait until I was 18 to have my application looked at. Actually I was told EXTREMELY rudely by Habbo's "Guest Services" that there was absolutely NO WAY that they would EVER consider looking at any more applications from under 18s, even those received before the age change.
Secondly, Zycon, from the evidence I've seen, is not a good Hobba. He has been severely abusing his powers.
Thirdly, it would not benefit me if there were more under 18 guides/mods as I will be 18 in May. Judging from Zycon's behaviour that I've seen, having more under 18 guides/mods would benefit NOBODY. The only thing I can think of is that it may be beneficial to allow people to apply and train at the age of 17, and then become a full Hobba once they're 18 and have passed their training, to speed up the application process.
I think you're missing the point that we really do have a right to be angry, upset, or jealous. The way Habbo have done this is utterly messed up and totally unfair.

BlackGarden, i do like to voice my opinions as i have already on this subject to Glitterkat.

Their minds made up, Zycon is a hobba for a month.

Plus, its not DJ-3000 or Cheezy2. Your going on the right lines though!

Glad to hear you've already voiced your opinion to GlitterKat on this.
I understand that their minds are made up, but I feel that it is unfair, and I want them to understand that I think this, and to understand my frustrations.

Hmm... on the right lines... someone from the Habbo Council...?

I just had to scour the FAQs myself to find absolutely nothing. The only things vaguely reminiscent of such a law are the UK laws for working with children which state that you must be police vetted. Of course it could all be to do with ensuring that parents are confident that their children are safe, and Habbo felt that parents were uneasy about 16 year olds being responsible for their children's safety.
This is all totally immaterial to the discussion anyway so can we please stop arguing about nonexistant laws now?
Personal info is anything personal to you. It is unlikely that anyone could find you from your name, age, gender, and the country you live in, but you must be careful not to give out such information in an offhand way because you could end up being really offhand about any information about yourself, such as your e-mail address, or your school. The more someone learns about you, the closer they are to finding out where you live and what your surname is!

Yes, but what I am saying is that there are no laws to say that it has to be adults running the network. I think it is best that the network is run and moderated by adults, but there are no legal issues, as people have been suggesting (and in some cases saying outright) in this thread.
In the eyes of the law, Habbo Hotel is just another chatroom. There are not any special laws for Habbo that are different than for other chatrooms.
