As for the PM it was a harsh PM because it's either a harsh PM or I remove your VIP immediately - now that would be called being strict.

He answered that as well I believe?

PM severity is ultimately down to whether the users simply made a mistake, didn't know the rules or anything like this. As these two were well aware of the rules and the reprocussions I thought it appropriate to make it clear. I don't think it's particularly rude, it's simply a pm without me adding ":)" at the end of every line.

I literally could not care less about what you're saying here, this has nothing to do with you.

As for the harsh PM, a gentle warning would have sat much better with myself.
I don't read the rules because there's like 239084203948 of them and it'd take 3 years to read. A gentle nudge in the right direction is always appreciated, not I WILL BREATHE DOWN YOUR NECK UNTIL YOU DO IT RIGHT.

I don't get how the PM was at all condescending, it was just straight to the point like it ought to be - break the rules again = punishment.

Go be hatin' that i'm styin on you somewhere else.

As for Shar,, I have never appreciated strict PMs and it just makes me want to annoy the person who sent it. What I'm trying to say here is a nice, polite email without being hilariously strict is always appreciated and never makes me feel "let's go break the rules because he's being rude".

To be honest you did post this in the public feedback forums. Perhaps you could use the complaints section next time?

I've seen the PM and it isn't slightly condescening, it takes a harsh tone although to be honest that's entirely correct, HabboxForum provides many features for all of its users and should those features begin to be abused then it causes a nuisance for ever other one of the three-hundred or so active visitors each day.

In response to Saurav claiming it's too strict, should you have posted that many items on the forum - you'd be cautioned or banned. The PM makes a message that what you did was unacceptable, causes a nuisance to every other user of this forum and warns you not to do it again.

I know that, it's just I'd rather get people's opinions on it. However I do not care for his views due to other forum postings.

How about

Hey there,

Your recent calender happenings are against the rules. Please don't do it again.

Thanks,

I would have appreciated that 10x more and there would have been no fuss about it. I would have accepted that it was wrong and simply dealt with it.

Then place him on your ignore list: http://www.habboxforum.com/profile.php?do=ignorelist rather than arguing in a thread.
