i love how you ignore the other points again.
then myself and gommeinc should be contacted soon for saying the name, yes? and how long has this rule been in place because when you search 4chan (oopz, did it again) it's here;

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...ighlight=4chan
they're relatively new :S

It appears these have slipped through moderation unfortunately, there are many instances of it being removed in the past and unfortunately in these two threads it's not been picked up on - something I shall speak with moderators about.

As these posts are over 10 days old I cannot take action but have removed the site name and added it to the filter.

well there's a lot more even before then. so you just filter it even though people have given you valid reasons not to? you don't even reply to them? have you given up because they were right? please yourself :S

I've filtered it because myself and General Management have said it's against the rules and I'd rather people didn't get into "trouble" as it were for saying it as this wastes mods time, it's easier to have it filtered.

... How? It's an online community like ours, except alot bigger and has an 18+ section. Filtering it because of the 18+ side is irrational and pretty stupid really, especially when the reasons put forward by General Management make no sense. I give it a few weeks before it's unfiltered, seeing as it is pointless :/

Any chance the other points that have been made on the last page can be replied to... instead of just talking about posts you've missed..

Well like you've said, they'd surely google it ("which happens 99% of the time") and see that it is. But they still mentioned it.

Therefore, calling 4-chan "content" is inappropriate and wrong. 4-chan is a website. It would be wrong to link to 4-chan IF the link contains anything against the rules as the rule suggests. However, mentioning the name isn't publishing content, it's publishing the name - which is where YouTube and DeviantART come in, mentioning them and link to them is fine, provided you're not linking to any content agaisnt the rules, they're a name yet the content or material is what comes into question with the forum rules here.

In short: You're a forum moderator, moderate the forum (e.g. what happens on the forum) not the members (what happens with them in or out of the forum). I fthey search it, they're taking the same risk. Suggesting you have to control suggests you think HxF is the only forum they visit :P

I suggest you google it as I have done and click the links. The material you will find would not be allowed on any unencrypted TV channel and only on the encrypted ones after a certain time at night. No point carrying on debating it
unless your eyes deceive you. Again I am not saying that you shouldn't post a harmless link on it but this is just against the rules as it leads straight to porn without any warning at all.

A2. Do not post inappropriately ~ Habbox Forum has an audience that includes younger members, and as such all content must be suitable for those members. You must not:

Talk about adult subjects in an explicit manner.
Swear or avoid the forum filter in any way (including by using abbreviations)
Post images, videos or links that with inappropriate content like gore, nudity, obscenity or annoyance.
Mildly inappropriate content (never anything rated 18+) is allowed where sufficient warning is added into the post and the image or link is placed within a spoiler. The final decision on what is or is not inappropriate is at the Moderator's discretion

Again, you're meant to be moderating members on the forum, not nanny them off the board too. If ***** advertise themselves like that on Google, then fair dos, but if you actually go on it it's not a porn site. Again, you're focusing on just the porn aspect like a grandmother. As far as common sense goes, there's no reason filtering the name, when the site isn't an adult site or porn site :/

I did not say filter it. :S It is a site with porn though Gomme, with no warnings. I really do not see how you can argue against it unless you suggest an amendment to the rule.
