HxHD Rules

[Nixt]

Earlier this evening I noticed a number of people being warned for making sexist jokes in HxHD. Whilst I find this rule slightly unusual, I am more than happy to honour it if it was made clear. After checking the rules list I saw nothing about making sexist jokes, or any other jokes for that matter. I asked HotelUser about this and his response was "funnily enough, all the rules aren't on that sticky". Again, this is fair enough. However I think it would be fair to say that there should be a list of rules somewhere (perhaps in the "ask the staff" forum?) for people to refer to. Otherwise, staff might make up rules or there will be confusion as there appears to have been tonight.

What do you guys think?

I agree with you here Garion a lot of people don't know all the rules we have. Also the rules can be quite general and might need clarifying. I'm pretty sure not all the staff at HxHD are 100% sure of the rules.

I don't find sexism funny and it is rude. I saw many people were offended by people being sexist. I swear it's only a joke if the other person finds it funny.

Maybe HxHD rules should be clearer but surely if you get a warning you should stop.

I think it should probably be discussed as to whether sexist jokes should be banned at all, but yeah it should definitely be made clear.

If we infracted someone for a rule on here that wasn't on our rules list we'd get so much crap over it it'd be unreal.

Yeah I would agree here aswell, I would have to say some things such as Sexism could be classed as rude and bullying, just like racism or homophobism, which should also be frowned upon.

I agree we need to put it on the sticky and make it clear but 3 members of management arguing like a bunch of babies in a Habbox public room wasn't going to help, was it? You could of easily sorted it via PM or MSN. And even after David said their not allowed, Oli still carried on.

I ain't really offended by sexist jokes but most people are so I agree, they should be added to the rules.

[HotelUser]

Many of our visitors or staffmembers find sexism very appauling, I don't think that's a rule I'd recommend changing.

I don't see why we couldn't ask Jin for another sticky, so we could print out a more complete list of rules. Honestly, it's never really been a problem in the past because for the most part the majority of people just behave

I was using the sexist jokes (not sexism, as there was none ) as an example. I'd rather this thread not become a debate about sexism. My issue here is with the rules, I do not believe they are clear and I agree, if a warning is issued, you should stop. Nevertheless I don't think it's fair to impose rules without first clarifying those rules.

I have seen people be rude in that room but not get banned :S its weird.

Rules certainly need clarifying. At the moment they're far too general and anyone could just walk into HxHD not knowing the rules, because at the moment they are "follow the habbo way; follow staff instructions; do not impersonate HxHD staff; please don't offend Colin (why is that one on there anyway, it is either waste of space or a more 'to the point' rule). Personally rules should be on a sticky so that people who don't know what Habbox is know the rules. As for the 'sexism', I think it comes accross as rude and should not be tolerated, but that is just my opinion. Like Calvin said though, Habbox Management arguing in the desk won't help at all.
