Rule A4 (Pictures of yourself)

[redtom]

A4. Do not post private details or information ~ We do not allow you to post private information about yourself due to security concerns. Disclosing any information about another forum user without their consent is also not allowed. This includes:

* Private messages
* Reputation comments
* Private conversations (MSN, Habbo, etc.)
* Images / videos of the user or social networking profiles (Bebo, Facebook, etc.)
* Trying to organize real life meet-ups
* It is also not allowed to give out the personal details (specific address, phone number etc) of anyone, forum user or otherwise.


You are, however, allowed to post pictures of yourself although they are not allowed in your avatar or signature. You may also share your email address and social networking profiles on the forum.

The rule say you may post pictures of yourself yet not use them for your avatar, is there any reasoning behiding this?

People don't like seeing others photos in avatars.

I thought the forum community comepletely agreed to allow user-pictures in avatars, or were they actually being serious when someone mentioned paedophilia?

Following the last ploy to get pictures in avatars there was a reasonably large campaign which argued against pictures being visible on the forum - as it is actually dangerous.

It was suggested and largely agreed within a thread that the Post a Picture of You thread should be hidden from unregistered members to make it look like HabboxForum does not allow members pictures, thus anybody looking to get kicks from pictures of 12 year olds can go elsewhere.

A lot of members are for this, a lot of members are against it, I believe recent polls showed more are for it than against it however General and Forum Management are quite against this (previous General and Forum Management have been too) with good reason - some of these reasons will have to remain confidential.
