Habbox Rules

[lick]

A Mod asked me to post here because they did not believe that people would agree when i said that Habbox rules are to strick and that they should be catered for the age group that uses the Forum now instead of the age group that used the forum over 4 years ago.. like Clubhabbo do.

I think Habbox rules are way to strick and i think they should change because it's no longer 11-13 year olds using the site yet the rules are still probably the same, maybe a small bit different as to when they where written over 5 years ago.

Habbox & Clubhabbo are both fansites based around Habbo so you would think that both fansites would have the somewhat the same rules / near enough but no they are completely different. I'm not saying that Habbox should have the exact same rules as Clubhabbo because they shouldn't im saying i think you should update the rules because they where written over 5 years ago and i would hardly call adding full stops and a few words here and there updating them. You're no longer dealing with under 14 year olds and this has come up over the past few weeks and it has been proven in a poll and you have not done anything about it. Habbo's age group has even changed as most of their users are 15+.

All this is referring to a post i made which can be seen clicking here i dont find that racist as it is meant to be a joke and as on Clubhabbo no one complained so therefore it was not removed. But when i post it on Habbox and people find it funny and no-one complains it gets removed? I would not mind it been removed if there was a Illegal immigrant on the forum who found it offensive but i doubt there is so i don't see why it would be removed when one Habbo fansite would allow it and another would not? This stuff is spoken about on the new all the time as you hear of people coming here illegally and committing benefit fraud and most of the stuff is true and it also happens to be funny.

So maybe think of updating the rules for real instead of adding a dull stop here and there and make a rule more clearer.

True, I think there too strict and most members (also proved in a poll) are over the age of 14.

What you actually said to me mwah was 'yes Clubhabbo is different to Habbox but they are both based around Habbohotel and are both fansites for Habbo so they should have similar rules.' I said that Habbox does not have to follow another fansite and have similar rules just because they are a Habbo one. Yes I do think that poem is inappropriate not because there is any illegal immigrants on here but because its borderline racist. I also note that on the other site such things as targeting of members including one of our members is allowed. On the other hand I understand that they are very strict in other areas. Your best bet is to have it reviewed - I am not perfect and you may be agreed with. Thanks

Tricky one but Clubhabbo seems to be a place to me where they do need more rules. But never-mind because I work on this fansite. At the moment I feel the forum rules currently are ideal for everyone to read and follow, they are pretty simple rules to be honest. Some of them need to be made clearer, which have been getting changed as you may have noticed. I don't think they are "strict". They are much more relaxed then what they used to be. Some rules can be seen as "strict" but they are needed.

I think the rules are quite alright, and there are tons of young people on here, it's just that you don't see them posting in the spam forum every 5 seconds Plus I'd disagree that Habbo has gone to an older market, I'd say it's gone to a much younger market.

i don't think they're strict.
i think they could be simplified a lot
and i think they could get rid of the stupid filter, but apart from that, i'm not too bothered.

shame that the poem got removed cus it's very true.

I don't think they're too strict, but I do think that other options could be introduced like the option to remove the swear filter for your account so you can see the words that are filtered, kind of like what habbo has done, only once you have reached a certain age you're able to edit that option. Not sure if its possible though since I don't know if the filter system changes the actual post or just changes the appearance of the post when submitted, also I don't know if the option is possible with vBulletin.

The rules are fine as they are, I don't really find the filter to be too bad (most of the time). The foreign language rule needs to be put in with pointless posting though -hint hint- :rolleyes:
