Well, if you think about it, they end up in the Discuss Anything subforum, so why not? Ranting can really help, I don't see why you see it as such a bad thing.

I see it as another moaning forum which will get closed as people will abuse and get banned then moan they got banned for ranting when they are allowed.
Such a fun circle.
That forum has always been pointless. The whole forum is aimed at teenagers, why have a forum which is aimed for teenagers in a forum made for teenagers? As you can see, it makes no sense. Relationships go in the Relationships Forum, parent issues go in a forum which it belongs in e.g. a Family Forum, or a sub-forum in Health Questions and Advice.
Ranting on Habbox has never properly been 'fine,' moderators end up editing posts saying "Respect other peoples views" or "Don't pointlessly post" and in some cases closing them. Only a select few remain around.
Moderators don't just infract members... If you pay much attention to some forums, they also edit posts which don't mean an infraction or warning is in order. I have seen many pointless edits on some posts for pointless posting... So? It's going to happen, it creates different topics within a thread. If it gets out of hand, communicate with the member and ask for them to create another thread. These sorts of forums thrive on good communication with staff and members, something Habbox lost quite a while ago, by continuously ignoring requests, giving silly reasons for not doing anything, adding pointless features no one uses (e.g. chat) rather than features people want e.g. Anime Forum which would have more point to than a Big Brother forum which is a fad, which goes against Elkaa's reasoning "/
Continuously banning members is a terrible idea. Ban them if they are bad, but if they make a new account, talk to them and ask them why they are doing what they are doing. If they behave for a long time, give them their old account back. You'll get a helluva lot of respect and people will like you.
I agree with this idea. ;)
And what section would this sub forum be in?
Real life? (general)
