In the majority of cases this rule is fairly applied and it is better to avoid the argument all together rather than having to clean the thread up and dish out more warnings/infractions than is necessary.Quote:

That's what should happen if you were considering the best interests of Habbox/Habbo users imo.
What one person classes as "solid evidence" might not be classed as that by another person. It's also very hard for a moderator to distinguish between what's fact and what's not, which I think definitely needs to be taken into account regarding this situation.Quote:

Full of accusations
It doesn't take a genius to work out that's different, also that's not what the rule's about.Quote:

If you allow the argument to begin in the first place, then it could cause people to making enemies on the forum. If his happened to half the forum for example, then there would be a noticably negative atmosphere which could potentially lose forum activity.Quote:

Let's be honest, it isn't that hard to fake a habbo screenshot for someone that really wanted to.Quote:

In my opinion, considering the best interests of the users would be to prevent the arguments from beginning. An argument could make one or many users unhappy/upset and preventing them ensures that this does not happen.Quote:

A3. Do not accuse others of scamming or hacking, or any other illegal activity ~ making baseless accusations only leads to arguments and often members are targeted wrongly or unfairly. We do not allow you to accuse anyone of hacking, scamming or illegal activities with or without evidence so as to maintain a positive atmosphere about the forum.
