I agree. I see no benefit from that rule being implemented in today's threads.
if you give people warnings for telling somebody about the rules then rule breaks are going to be more common
agreed its disgusting
such a stupid rule
wtf who even reads the rules lol thts long
Because your basically pointless posting tell someone they broke a rule when you can simply just report it. It gains nothing telling someone they broke the rules
if it's a spam thread then it is fineQuote:

if you saw a boy beating up an old lady in the street would you let him carry on? or would you intervene and tell him to back off!
Instead of doing that, just report the post because by posting about breaking the rules in a thread that has nothing to do with it, you are making a pointless post.
This rule annoyed me at first, but it does make sense if you properly think about it.

Why does everybody make threads about the most pointless things?!
Pointless posting in the spam section?Quote:

And if essentially the rule is about not pointless posting, why are the posts not warned for pointless posting? Seems silly to have another rule which is just equivalent to a previous rule?
Well if they are replying to something and say @___; you cant advertise scam sites, but also have something to contribute to the thread then clearly it isn't pointless.
Anyways anyone just replying to like moderate someone should get a pointless post warning or w.e.
So now dragga is talking about a rule here, Am I allowed to comment to say no you cant advertise scam sites (pretty much confirming what he's said) or is that a warning too?Quote:

I can understand if someone decided to start PMing people pretending to be a mod, and telling them off for their posts and giving warnings etc, then yeah you'd deal with that. But just saying 'btw you're thread is in the wrong forum' or something is hardly a bad thing :P. And getting rid of the rule won't suddenly turn everyone in to a mod.
And someone pretending to be a mod is covered by not impersonating Habbox Staff/abusing modwarn features rule.Quote:

''Spam Forum Specific Rules
~ It is not allowed to post pointless posts or threads like "aifdhgsdfhgsdo" or numerous threads which essentially "spam" the New Posts search.
~ You must follow the normal Forum Rules in this Forum, other than you are allowed to double posts and you can post pointlessly and off topic (excluding posts such as "aisgfhsuifh")''
So as long as the posts were not aergerg, they should be allowed. S:
It's essentially pointless posting, if someones broke the rules use report you don't need to post saying YOU BROKE DA RULEZ PLIS NOQuote:

In spam forum = Not a problem
Outside of spam forum = If you are only going to reply with "You have broken a rule" - That when it's normally forced. If you say that plus also contribute to the actual thread then that's fine.
In my eyes anyway.
Does that mean il have my usernote removed, As calum had a pre-****** and gave me and aiden warningsQuote:

4real though never understood this rule, surely it's helpful to let people know that their behaviour cannot continue, especially since a lot of users are a lot faster to the scene than the moderators

Same for pointless posts, unless you pointless post like 6 times in one week, you ain't going to get anything more than a PMQuote:

A6. Do not use this forum for any illegal practices, including but not limited to:
•Being involved in hacking or encouraging hacking.
•Breaking of the Habbo Way or encouraging T&C violation.
•Posting warez or other illegal downloads.
Whenever I try and get e5 to do it, he just ignores me :(
That's fair enough, but what's your opinion on the rule itself? Did you feel it was a pointless rulebreak to be dealing with?Quote:

I noticed that too :PQuote:

OT; i still disagree with this rule.
I've not actually gone round and reported people for breaking the Habbo way, because I'd be here all day.Quote:
