Habbo USA revoked our Official status because we gave a BETA invite key away as a competition prize.
Where in the fansite way does it say we cannot give a BETA key, used to invite more people to the BETA away?
I mean, would someone get banned for giving away an INVITE key?
meh that really sucks :( sorry jack x
clubhabbo and habbox are doing the same LOL?
Gutted. Good luck on getting it back man, great site you have there!
habbox isn't. idk about ch.
So did HFFM.....Quote:

They have made it very clear on the UK anyway anyone selling or giving away BETA codes in competitions will be banned and they're for friends only. It's so people don't use it to get people to their site and so habbos don't make furni out of it. Resolves the issue of scamming by saying it can't be done.
I'm surprised you didn't get a reminder/warning though.
Hmm that's abit nasty about the comps.
i'm just saying from their point of view. i'm guessing that's the official line. i don't necessarily agree with it.
Its stupid its a worthless prize for a competition which people are not paying to enter just answering a question which could be answered by a 4 year old
Habbo are not losing anything from this
Hope you become official again need any support with contacting habbo me and the people on this thread are behind you!
Hm.. Well, the UK Hotel is ran by other staff, so other UK fansites that are giving away keys may no be demoted.
Jack didn't tell you the whole side of this story... Ryan (Mazalta) Has been trying to sell Beta Codes in Question too.
HabbCrazy is a great site.
I used it ALL the time when I was .com
sorry for your loss :(
I think they've probably done it more is because its almost like your 'abusing' the free codes they've given you to get more people onto your site. Its not there for you to give away, its to help them get feedback on the new BETA.
Well, I don't see why their status as official would be removed.
But yet again I do see reasoning behind it, they're using it to promote their site for example like on habbo it would be like "oh habbcrazy are giving away beta codes" and then they would go over to hc.
In all honesty, this should have happened. This is simply a matter of fact that you're using invitation keys to draw users to your website. They did state that you'd be banned if you're found giving them away?
You guys broke two rules.
Promoting BETA Codes to get people to come to HC.
Ryan aka Mazata was selling these BETA codes in question.

Yeah, were trying to get in contact with US staff. We think its a mistake. As they gave 2 HabbCrazy staff access to the BETA, and they made it clear that only HabbCrazy staff can use it. So the only thing we can think is that they think we gave the Staff BETA as the prize, when it wasn't that. But we think they have removed our emails from their email :@Quote:

lol, what does suck is that they still use our background for their group :@

Bit over the top :S :(
1. I don't doubt for one second that Mazalta was selling BETA code. Regardless of him still working with HabbCrazy or not, he still represents you guys and supports you guys. I'm sure the US staff team still sees him as one of the HabbCrazys'. So therefore, that has made you look bad on his behalf.Quote:
Hi,
If you are fortunate to be in the Beta program please do *NOT* sell or trade your Beta codes for furniture or credits (and absolutely never cash!).
If caught doing so you will be removed from the Beta program.
If you see someone trying to sell/trade a Beta code, please report them to a member of our moderation team by using the 'Call for help' function located in the blue question mark at the bottom right of the screen.
Thanks :)
2. It specifically says not to TRADE the BETA codes. This does not necessarily mean trading directly via the Habbo trade box, though it does mean trading them for anything. You traded your BETA codes for viewer support and overall more activeness throughout your community.
I don't see you guys getting it back for the very reason. Though you guys do seem like you deserve it, you do after all put a bit too much into everything. So maybe after all you do deserve it.
The second part of that sentence says "for furniture or credits (and absolutely never cash!).", doesn't say anything about "trading" it for support. Even if thats true, what if the person who received the BETA code was already a supporter? You can't trade for support, when it already exists.Quote:

I just wish USA had their old fansite director, she was a supporter of HabbCrazy =)
So is HFFM :P.
That's a bit harsh :S You should of been given a warning about it, I know you're annoyed about it but HabbCrazy is still an amazing fansite despite losing it's official status, there isn't fansite out there that can replace you to be honest, contact Habbo about it, maybe it's just the USA Managers being harsh... But like others have said I do see reasoning behind it because if it's advertised more people will go on just to get the Beta code, and the rule about advertising non-official fansites is RIDICULOUS. How else are they meant to get attention and media? But you'll still have all the listeners you already have and just use the forums word will get round, hopefully you gain officialness again.

Now that is nasty! Used to say "HabbCrazy". Wouldn't mind, but it didn't say .net so technically I wasn't advertising a website :@
You call that unlucky
That's abit out of order isn't it?
Where in the Habbo Way or TOS does it say you cannot advertise unofficial fansites?
Im banned on the name HHGS.net on .com lol, for this;Quote:

However, I sent one to the community managers group email and I think it forwards it to all the community managers from all the hotels as we got a read receipt from Emma Monks, UK's community manager ^_^
Redtiz :P
