are these allowed now? 'cause I've seen people with their pictures in their avatars recently. I thought that was something which was always going to be banned? Certainly management made out it was going to be banned forever anyway when I caused a fuss about it a few years ago...
Yeah its allowed now, got changed about a month or so ago :P.
That's so annoying because, when I bought up the subject ages ago management were proper kicking off about it...
why was it not allowed considering the fact that their is an immensely popular thread here called 'post a picture of yourself' :S
Opinions can also change and the way that management make decisions can also change. One of those 2 reasons were probably the cause (as I'm sure when it was brought up, management didn't listen to the community as much as they do now? Unless I'm dreaming).Quote:

dont start criticizing management for listening to people or literally nothing will get done
sometimes it takes more than 1 (or 24 billion) suggestions for them to implement something cos circs change
Err I'm not criticizing anyone thank you very much, so why don't you get off your high horse lol. I was simply saying it's funny how they were all saying it would probably never be allowed and hey look now it is when I didn't really see anyone requesting it but oh well.Quote:

Well considering I don't even know where the FAQs are, I thought I'd create a thread. Sorry, is there some sort of problem with that? Bitter lol, I honestly couldn't care less, I was just curious and I thought it was funny that's all...Quote:

There was a poll back in May in regards of this.
You did vote in the poll about it. So looks like you've probably forgotten :PQuote:

You voted for "I don't mind either way" :PQuote:

Instead of outright saying no, we ran a poll which resulted in the rule being changed to allow avatars of yourself. It hasn't been a problem since so it worked out well in the end.
Yeah, I guess the user base has changed since then anyway so makes sense peoples attitudes have changed. @FlyingJesus; my eyesight ain't that good you know!!Quote:

Always glad to see a stupid rule abolished, very good news.
Wasn't it Hecktix that was in charge then? I think i remember it being brought up back then. Was a stupid rule TBH ,
If it was Oli then that speaks for itself really. :PQuote:

Can't say I agree with the change myself

But habbox has turned into a direct democracy now so hey-ho.
WHY ARE PEOPLE CRTICISING NOW WHEN THIS CHANGE WAS IMPLEMENTED SO LONG AGO
AND THERE'S LIKE 2 PEOPLE WHO HAVE PICS OF THEMSELVES
IT'S VERY GOOD HABBOX IS A DEMOCRACY IMO
Why don't you agree with it?Quote:

I always thought it was for safety and that's why it wasn't allowed previously. If you want to look at PAPOY you need a forum account, if you want to look at someone's profile you should need a forum account (I'm not too sure on this). I don't mind the rule either way, I believe it's become a lot easier to moderate them as you couldn't always be 100% sure if it was them in some cases.
Because I don't want to see people's **** ugly faces.Quote:

Why does it bother anyone? People complaining are probably getting agitated because they feel like they might be pressured to put their only ugly face up.
