I'm rather confused by this thread.
I'm not sure what quality of moderating you're expecting on a habbo fansite, by moderators who are nothing more than volunteers, but I can tell you that the standard of moderating is pretty damn good at the moment (if I say so myself :P).
Also I'd like to apologize that the post which you recently reported took me all of 6 minutes to deal with- far from satisfactory!

It's not really a survey when you kick off the thread saying that moderating is poor, I was giving my honest reply to you - filling in your survey if you really must, and explaining why it may seem poor at the moment because some new members don't understand the workings of Habbox in their first month or so of being here!Quote:

This forum has the best moderation of any forum I've been both Habbo and non-Habbo. Its monitored more a less 24/7 by active and dedicated moderators, who do their job and interact with the community on the forum. Bans aren't issued hastily, warnings are issued then infractions, inappropriate content is removed straight away etc.
Having served as a Moderator on the forum myself, I can also say that all the Moderators on this forum are mature, sophisticated and know what their doing, on many a fansite you have power hungry young teens making a complete mess of the moderation and banning people left right and center etc.
You seem to be doing an awful lot of complaining and not a lot to help the situation. As I told you earlier, you need to report the posts if you want them seeing to as quickly as possible. As it happens, Samanfa and Matt are now working on it so it should all be sorted soon.
Also I just want to say that my job isn't to moderate. It is to oversee moderation on the forum, amongst other behind the scenes jobs which are all very time consuming.
I personally think the moderating is quite good at the moment, and I'm sure you can understand that a thread which is very quickly expanding to more and more pages can't be read instantly by all the moderators, who might not be online whilst it's starting meaning it'd take them even longer to read through it. However, if you report the post then that'll bring attention to that post and therefore the posts will get dealt with quicker because you're essentially telling the mods where to find the rule breaks - and that's what you should be doing in this case. The thread has only been around for a few hours, I'm sure that any post you report in there will be dealt with soon. You have to understand that there's a lot more to go through on the forum other than just 1 thread, and anyway not all of the mods are online yet either :).
If he or anyone else wants to give feedback then that's their decision imo.Quote:

HxF is very well moderated, go and have a look at other fansites moderation skills then look back at HxF, there is such a massive leap. Sometimes, the mods go over the top with it, I'd rather that then have no moderation. I would hate to be apart of a forum that was literally forced to be perfect, I like seeing peoples banter and pointless posts. This isn't a military organisation where everyone has to be lovely and perfect.
If you have such a massive problem about moderation, why not give some actual feedback on what you think they could change rather than make a thread that offers no actual constructive comments or real feedback other than 'its poor, wbu?'
Ok actually I just noticed something..
a post I reported on the 24th October for posting a rep comment has received the reply 'The rule has changed and is now allowed' - but that rule only changed on the 2nd November meaning it took nearly a week for a post report to be dealt with?
My moderator senses are tingling... there's trouble on HabboxForum! I better go deal with it.
But seriously, not every moderator can view every single post within the matter of an hour, that's ridiculous to even assume that. To speed up the process, perhaps (like Chris mentioned) you should report said posts and they will be dealt with responsibly and as fast as possible. :) - thanks for your views though!
