Threads with Sexual content.

[Hecktix]

Atm, there are A LOT of threads with sexual conent being posted.
Tbh I don't actually believe half of them...
"Should I have sex?"
"Is my penis too small?"
"What is this stuff coming out of my penis when I play with it?"
This is a HABBO related forum, CHILDREN as young as 11 or 12 can see the threads on this forum.

If their parents saw that, do you think they would be impressed?

A26. It is not allowed to talk about adult subjects like making love / sleeping with somebody or sexual details in anyway - Because this forum is meant for people of all ages, and teenagers in particular, it is NOT allowed to talk about subjects that could be not suitable for younger members.

You are IGNORING your OWN rules, letting these young members see unsuitable material.

I myself am 16, and I don't really like reading about peoples sex lives. I don't come to this forum to hear about people's sex lives either; I come because it's an interesting site to discuss things.
Tbh, over the past year this forum has majorly slipped from a habbo forum, to a teen forum. Last year Habbox.com and Habboxforum.com could have easily become official fansites, but now I really doubt you'll be getting the official forum, as a large number of the members dont even play habbo, and an even larger number of the members dont discuss Habbo on this Habbo related forum.

A year ago, if someone posted a thread about the size of their penis, it would be closed and they'd be infracted.

Need I say more?

If you're so bothered, don't look at the health & advice forum and just live in the Habbo section?

Though I agree with what you are saying about half of them are totally unbelievable, I fully disagree about it being allowed to be posted.

Kids as young as 11 and 12 are the minority on here(probably about 3-4 active users) and they are learning stuff that they probably wouldn't get taught in school. This is a great thing as they can learn from it and use it in the future, instead of being un-sure and too scared/embarassed to ask people in real life. Let it be!

''Talk about being a teenager, everything from crushes to bullies. Only post what you are comfortable with posting, and please don't post any sexual content''.

That is the description under the forum in question, so yes maybe a higher level of moderation is needed on that particular forum. I am no expert on those subjects but I am sure someone who is interested in that line would moderate and reply to topics in that forum.

tbh; its not me im bothered about. i just know if my younger sister was using this forum, i'd feel uncomfortable about her seeing threads like what i've seen. and people her age are using this forum.

As useful as that information is to younger children, a habbo based forum is not the place for it. If they want that info, they are either taught it in school or go on websites dedicated to that topic of discussion. Posting about it on a forum that explicitly states that it is NOT allowed is not what HxF is for.

I completely agree with the thread starter on that point. There are other forums (www.forums.govteen.com being a rather good one i believe) that deal with the sort of questions that people are posting in forums that are designed for that. A forum based on a game designed for 12-18 year olds is definately not the place to post it.

Having said this, the point about the forum moving away from being a habbo forum is unjustified imo. The habbo parts of the forum are very much active, and the other parts see far less activity (except a certain few forums, runescape and spam spring to ming). As well as being a good place to discuss the game, it has also become a useful place for other areas of discussion. To take away that resource on the basis that the forum was originally designed for something else is a bit stupid because it is still being used for the purpose it was created for, as well as other things, which is by no means a bad thing.

or make that section of the forum hidden to anyone under a certain age. sure, people might just change the age on their profile, but if parents see their child on that forum, they'll also see that they've changed their age so the can go on it. and if you put a warning in the forum description thats like 'ONLY [AGE] YEAR OLD MEMBERS CAN VIEW THIS FORUM' it also adds to the protection

Make a sexual advice section and have a age limit.
and threads like "IS MI PENIS 2 SMALL!?!" are crap.

Done

[Hecktix]

Yeah but how dya enforce a limit?
