Thats true, but surely you can request it to any email, and if it arrives its linked, if itdoesn'tarrive, its not linked.

Different reasons, different causes. I'm not going to explain the reason why Jordan was fired back then. It's not up for discussion, sorry!

Mr-Trainor's Habbo being hacked caused 0 damage to Habbox.

I'm not sure what you are trying to assume here? If a hacker has got into someone's email account and then tried the "Forgot password" function on whatever website, then they could probably get into it if they email is attached. But if the email isn't attached then they won't get it via the email method.

Jordan's dismissal was months and months ago and times have changed. This isn't up for discussion and Jordan is back as Habbox Staff in Super Moderator role, hardly did anything bad for him.

I don't understand why Habbox Management feel the need to fire staff if their account is compromised. Once you've been hacked it's usually under the understanding that you will take greater care, if not greater care than those not yet hacked. It's also a bit rude of management to do it anyway - "Thanks for the work you've done, but one small mistake means we hate you now. Take care xox" One bitten, twice shy - the idiom which strangely crops up in any management strategy discussions and theory - on how employees can become greater with age and with experience, without being considered scum for a small, easily fixable mistake.

My two cents at least.

They are only fired if damage has been caused to Habbox.

Thread Closed

We do not fire staff members just simply because they have been "hacked" on Habbo (probably over fifty staff members have had their habbo accounts compromised within the past several years and only a small fraction of those instances saw a dismissal). We fire staff members depending on what has been hacked and if any damage to Habbox has been done. We will not start discussing greatly why staff members were fired in the past and why they won't be fired now.

We had a thread about this in feedback the last time and it went on far too much. We won't be changing our "Hacked Accounts Policy", it isn't up for discussion. All staff members should be aware of the policy and there is a stuck thread with the criteria in the staff forums.

If a staff member's habbo account gets hacked and hasn't caused damage to Habbox then we aren't going to fire them. That's stupid and no damage has been done to the fansite itself, so I don't personally see why we should fire them. Now if their Habbox accounts were hacked and damage was done, then fair enough and there is a high chance they would be removed from their Habbox roles.
