Yeah, ione said we can swear, but not call each other swear words :)
lol at heidster swearing
LMAO @ Heidster. I think she used a good example :P
ok then... lol never thought i'd see staff swearing
Well, i got a few more updates, homepage has been updated with new features on it (design of it = baddest design habbo have ever made) and when i log in i go straight to guest rooms
I think Habboxforum should make this move aswell :)
did she wuote south park :O
remember the episode when they said **** on tv, mr garrison was explaining how you could use it etc :P
lol, it's funny it seems weird tbh.Quote:

LOL. Heidster is cool, great example. Does this mean 13+yr olds can swear on fansites? :P
lol ok... so you can't direct it at somebody.
Ah damnit....... I hate been 12
i type only what i talk like irl
LOL.
and Thrived is actually pathetic.
ROFL @ HEIDSTER. Nice example girl!
You are complete **** and I hate you.
For some reason whenever someone swears over console it comes out as bobba even though I have the filter off. Does this happen to anyone else?
lol yeh :(Quote:

HAHAHA LOL THIS SOUNDS FUNNY :P
Meh, the chances of me swearing is very low, unless I am commenting on a jokeor pretending to be someone. Although calling someone a ship head is tempting.
LMAO Heidster called me a bad word :(Quote:

lol, about time some staff losened up :)
maybe it should happen on habboxforum?
lol at Thrived attempting to suck up
i cant seem to do that
haha when heidster swore that made me laugh even though everyone swears but habbo was so against swearing before!
I think i know why they let us swear if ur over 13+
If you think yeh
In movies
12- Mild comic language
15- Strong Language
18- Strong Language
So i think there just obbaying by that!
Could be , what do you think?
In 2001 there used to be a option to turn off the Bobba filter in your room lol
I don't know about you guys but Thrived makes me so angry sometimes. Look at how she acts around a habbo staff, she thinks she is superior. She is such an idiot that I always want to get her back for stealing one of my game rooms in 2006. She stole my players, my users in my room line and my room idea...
oh brilliant. there's going to be a ******** of 10 year olds running around swearing because they're now allowed to on habbo but offline their mommys ban it.
fab.
The reason habbo allowed the bobba filter to be turned on and off is because some users have a tendancy to say stuff that had unacceptable words in it such as "That Item" which in theory says t.i.t and I am not sure if I will get in trouble for that but essentially that is a reason why they designed this function.Quote:

well, i was under the impression habbo was designed for children. if people wanna go swear & talk in an 'adult' way maybe they should stop using childlike websites.Quote:

The habbo site itself is designed to look childish just to attract kids; you know why kids are targeted? Well it is because they are so vulnerable, they will kill their parents to buy those credits and go nuts, and of course we are talking before the habbo exchange came into play.
You do realize that the young habbos have a low attention span? Meaning they will obviously want to quit within a day because they don’t have furni. Those habbos who beg and beg for more (or just for their first piece of furni) are more likely to be kids then to be adults because their parents won’t buy them what they desire online.
that's not an answer to my point. as interesting a point it is, that's not an answer. surely you'd agree that if someone feels the need to be "adult" and swear all the time has surely outgrown the habbo environment.Quote:

i really don't understand the move by habbo, unless they're trying to target an older audience now. if so, pretty much pathetic.
but yeah. just my opinion [:

The mods don’t seem to give as much to the community anymore. I mean seriously, you can't report swearing, flooding, harassment, and/or scamming. It is either ignore or go to help tool.
If habbo was targetting an older audience, why not put naked women on the site and just call it hobbahobba hotel or something that will attract the adults. I don't see that happening because people are of all ages on habbo and I see it as a way to attract more users. I think that is exactly their goal, it is to attract more users who want to swear and those users who don't like swearing can stick to the ordinary habbo.
Then again, what if it is a test to see if people will behave the same way with or without that option? What if it is there for people who act more mature and deserve a little treat, the ability to see no more “bobba”?
You say IRL in IRL?Quote:

I thought you had to be 13 to register on Habbo anyway... Has it always been 11 or whatever it is now? :S
Agrees. There was a time when the Habbo Way was very strict, and it was clear as to what was and wasn't allowed... Now things aren't so clear. I mean take Runescape trades for Habbo furni. It used to be against the Habbo way to trade furni for other games platforms and now seems unclear. The Runescape trade room is always popular so if this is now against the Habbo Way then surely it would have been closed by now :/Quote:

Good find ;]
