The Fansite Way

[AgnesIO]

Ok I have just read the news article on the fansite way...

BUT it says fansite must NOT charge users for extra access to things...

Does this mean HxF is breaking rules for selling VIP?

Also don't clubhabbo have 'clubhabbo homes'?

If so they are breaking rules too..

The Fansite Way has been updated. Whether you are an Official Fansite or an Unofficial Fansite, you must follow the Fansite Way.
Habbo is a place where people come to relax, hang out and make new friends in a safe, non-threatening environment. The same goes for Habbo Fansites. If you want to use Habbo graphics on your site then you have to follow a simple set of rules; The Fansite Way. Also, anything you feature on your fansite must not break the Habbo Way, or influence users to break the Habbo Way.
Fansites CAN:
- Post fun, friendly Habbo news with your own analysis.
- Hold competitions and parties in Habbo.
- Allow all Habbos to join in without discrimination.
- Discuss non-offensive Habbo gossip on forums.
- Create fun, non-offensive alterations.
- Offer help for new and old Habbos.
- Hold events for your readers.
- Allow your visitors to post a photo of themselves that's appropriate and does not contain personal information.
- Offset your hosting costs with advertising banners or ad words.
- Use publically accessible images created and owned by Sulake Corporation Oy responsibly and within the restrictions of the Fansite Way and Terms & Conditions of Habbo Hotel.
Fansites Must NOT:
- Offer Hacking, Scripting or Editing Programs.
- Publish any unreleased news regarding updates, new Furni or features without Sulake's prior permission.
- Ask visitors for their Habbo passwords or personal information such as telephone numbers or home address.
- Charge users for premium services such as VIP access.
- Act as an affiliate for a commercial entity, nor offer merchandise (including Habbo Furni) or services for sale.
- Offer to buy, sell or trade Habbo accounts for real money or Habbo Credits.
- Break the law or talk others into breaking it.
- Publish any material which may be offensive to other users or contains sexual content.
- Publish any personal information, pictures, video or documents belonging to Sulake Corporation Oy.
- Use slander or any other form of bullying in order to harass other people.
- Disrupt the operation of any other official or unofficial fansite nor disrupt the Hotel community.
- Replicate any part of the Habbo Hotel service ('Retro' Hotels, Habbo Home clones etc).
- Represent that your site is approved by or affiliated with Sulake Corporation Oy or that any other content on your site is approved by or affiliated with Sulake Corporation Oy.

Yes but I said I will close that one and re-open a different one because of arguements, you are really starting to take the mick.

It was only a question... No need to be like that.

[Mr.Sam]

there are actually quite a few threads on this and a long one in feedback.

Another thing members have noticed that's changed with the fansite way is that Habbo users can now post images of themselves. Apparently Habbox are in discussion about whether or not they should allow it too and the obvious answer is yes. There is no logical reason not to, if the site you've based a fansite on has allowed it, and is an actual company so should know what they are doing. Also, the forum is a teen community, so the management should really act their age and follow suit. You could add a small restriction saying "Only post images of yourself, not of anybody else" because the norm for posting images of someone else is to harass or bully, but you'll have to follow user behaviour and see if they do post images of other people and if they bully, keep the rule and if not, get rid of it. Adding to that, you shouldn't to have in the rule "Don't post pictures of others users to bully other them" considering there is already a rule about bullying.

That is a very good post and all true,.

+Rep for actually contributing

I don't personally see a problem with posting your own picture on the forum its just something I wouldn't personally choose to do.. but like Gomme said its something they should kind of trial then come to a decision. Regarding VIP I think the best thing to do would just contact Lost_Witness or who ever is in charge of fansites at Habbo and ask them.
