Banned on a forum

About 4-5 months ago I was banned from a forum, I'll tell you the story in a minute, do you think this is fair. IP ban as well. Luckily I got a new laptop :P but I changed to habbox then.

It was a weekend, and I heard a rumour about a certain member of the fansites staff was over 20, I thought this was "strange", as habbo is after all A "Hang-Out For Teens". So I asked on the forum of the fansite if the rumour was true, then I got a load of "hate mail" in my inbox, saying "No it's not true stop insulting mates." The insulting bit got me, I never meant to cause offence and the person who I asked about said "Don't worry about it, I know you didn't mean it." But then an admin said it was his mate, and then Perm IP banned me. Does anyone think that's fair. I don't know if it was for this reason, but my ban said "Causing multiple arguments, don't come back." I knew who banned me becuse of one of his posts.

I don't think IP bans should be allowed but that didn't bother me, fair enough if the person was crying rivers over it but as I said, he was fine about it, but admins always think the worst of people for some reason.

Being over 20 on a habbo forum isn't strange.

Yea, what's so strange about that? :S

There are plenty of over 20's that use this forum; but for other sections/categories.

To be fair, you caused arguments by going into detail when there was no need. A permanent ban probably wasn't necissary but I (and I don't think anybody else saw) didn't see what was posted. Just gotta' bite your lip on this one mate, by the sounds of stuff you've been permed because you ''messed with his mate'' and he didn't like it.

Good luck getting back on anyways, I suppose. :)

Nothing stange about going on the forum, but goin on habbo over 20, it was sort of wierd.

Did you have cold, hard proof of this?
Either way, you shouldn't go throwing around accusations if there's no need.

I'll see if I can find the post, I just asked a question, no harm.

I know many people that go on Habbo and are over 20. Habbo isn't all just about the kiddy stuff roleplays and stuff, people actually do make good friends on there, and I don't see anything wrong with people over 20 going on there. It's not "that" childish really, it just seems that way because the main userbase are younger kids who enjoy getting "E-married" or whatever.

Quite a lot of the people who use casino's are quite old too, Habbo can be what you want it to be, and if used as a "room building" game, or for betting/dealing/talking to friends then I don't see what's wrong with over 20's using it.

I am almost 21, and I still go on Habbo every now and then. I love going on Habbo forums too. I dont think its strange at all.

Doug, you are the perfect example of people I think are acceptable, every now and then. This person, was about 25 and going on habbo everyday, and I have nothing against going on a habbo forum, because its not fully habbo. MSN and facebook and bebo and twitter are made for older people to be able to chat, with mates, perverts go on habbo thats the bit that freaked me out. He's old enough to have kids.

One of the owners of Habbox is over 20. The second one is quite old too.

Habbo is aimed at teenagers but that doesn't mean over 20's cant go on.

It's their site they can ban whom they wish.

when I was younger I thought 18 year olds on habbo was weird, now im 18 it doesn't seem wierd. atm i think people over 20 using habbo is strange, but if i still use it/hxf then i wont see it as weird cause its not something new? i guess as theres quite an age gap between you and a 20 year old you see it as weird cause you see a 20 year old as an adult.

yeah it was unfair.

Yep. And I'm not over 20 yet but in about 6 months will you hate me? Oh noes.

I actually think it's weird that anybody over 20 goes on a habbo forum or plays Habbo daily but that's just my opinion. I don't think they're sad or anything, I just find it weird.Bans on forums are just one of those things, the people who banned you run the forum and can do as they please.

yeah you do think it's sad. you callin Jinasaurus sad? :@

over 25 = sad
over 20 = weird

you're weird

It might just be the age gap. Cos my sister is 24, she has a baby, and I wouldn't expect her to go on habbo,

Some people mature faster than others! :D

If the person in question was fine with it, then the ban by another admin is pointless. So yes, a pointless ban with no grounds to stand on. Just request the be unbanned, because the person you "offended" messaged you seeming okay with it :) But it is another forum, so they may do things differently.

I know they won't unban me, cos they're smallminded, Has anyone heard of Russell on hffm he banned me, he thinks he rules the world cos he's an admin on a crappy site.

You'd be amazed at how much primative minds lose all sense of rational thinking or common sense when they get even a tiny amount of power :P It happens everywhere, just some people can retain their human thinking ;)
