Because the aim was to promote Habbox News, not Habbo's. Plus Habbox reports are arguably better than Habbo's ;).

I don't think it's promoting Habbox News at all. The only thing I can actually see the bot doing is ruining the community there was in the Habbo UK News & Rumours section. People like making posts, in their own way, providing images of the new furniture, etc. I think other appropriate methods should be taken to promote Habbox News such as adding links to places that stand out. I agree with all these threads that it should be removed, and I don't even read the section often.

A Staff that's not going with the habbox decision

hi5!!!!

Ignore it and -rep it for repetitive posts and "spam." I wanna see it get into the red, negative rep :P

The bot annoys me too. Fair enough, it doesn't stop discussions happening. However, it does make it harder for other HxF users to post the news there own way without the thread bieng closed because it's already been posted. I thought the whole point of the UK news and rumours forum was for people to post anything they'd discovered or new articles and then for people to discuss it, not for the news bot to tell us everything or repeat half the things which have already been posted.

I'm in, -rep!!!!!

Hah how's that for an idea, +rep if you want it, -rep if you don't, if its in positives come two weeks we keep it if its not then we don't.

(Of course I kid because this would give some more say than others.)

We're thinking about possibly moving it to a subforum, or we may just let it run for two weeks, see if people get used to it, and at that point see what the News+Rumors people think.

Wooooow a bot im so scared.
