She obviously wasn't going to be kept with super high reputation or what ever she had :P she had it for a few hours, see no harm... and to this
Isn't really true considering a member of staff and babyG were dating, she didn't get any special treatment, and nor should she. This was all a joke, if he seriously wanted to better his girlfriends account im sure he could have, without a problem of anyone here.Quote:

It's still so stupid, actually read through the thread and noticed that Luke never even got an apology aswell :o.
If it wa any other member of staff they probably would have been fired for sure, since one of the rules was against giving account or sharing them, even if its just a joke I don't really see anyone laughing at it, and I'm defo not laughing even tho I laugh at almost anything, just goes to show how ignorant people with power can be,
So i would like it if everyone on the forum got the Habbox God forum status :)
Technically the only person who can fire him is Jin as he still would have access if he had his forum permissions removed.Quote:

Yeah at the end of the day it's *just* a habbo fansite for kids but let's see what's a more serious offense in the grand scheme here...
Then you should also bring up that matter with Sulake. As technically it's just a site that you can sell furniture and accounts for money but they still break their terms and conditions.Quote:

BESIDES it's not breaking the rules to have an account it's only breaking the rules to buy furni/credits through there. And as far as I'm aware you can't prove if they ever did that......
Yep, and I've been forced to apologise before. 'they would probably have been fired for sure' - But I've seen people abuse permissions before and it was fine, like changing other people's forum names which happened when I was in the mod department :P.Quote:

Edited by Matts (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not avoid the filter.
You can because they use a feedback system when they buy or sell :PQuote:

Can I just ask why you haven't fired people, past and present, for having positions then: when it's actually been proved Lee hasn't used the site since he became mod? Would you never let people have a second chance when it's something they did years before even joining habbox (theoretically)?Quote:

Then why do you report people to Habbox for using the site if you have 0 issues with it and think it's not a problem?Quote:

Nope but the members of this forum will let that user know that they have been faking pictures though, we seem to be good at that! :PQuote:

Most likely because he was the only Gfx staff at the time, Heck he was even doing work for Habbox while he wasn't staff he was that much *in need* that you chose using David rather than using your own gfx team...
True, but rules is rules. I don't know about Wubing but Lee seemed like a really good mod too, so yeah, could have "turned a blind eye" to that too, surely?Quote:

*Yes but staff in the past have been members of illegal sites and not been fired
*That's because we used to be more lax on it
*Well did you know that staff in the past have been members of illegal sites and not been fired
*The extra scrutiny towards such activity is fairly new
* BUT STAFF IN THE PAST.....
etc
OH ALSO
If staff are fired why aren't normal members BANNED for using that site?
oh wubing wubing wubing, Just looked at your feedback, You could of atleast done one positive trade :(Quote:

I suppose that's true but it still doesn't make sense: especially those members that are OBVIOUSLY involved (for example people who talk about it and encourage people to use it)Quote:
