HxHD Rules

[Dean]

I have just read through the new HxHD rules and even though there are some alterations, the old rules and the new rules are pretty much basically the same.

Old Rules:
1) Don't bully or abuse other users
2) Don't be racist
3) Don't flood, spam or advertise other fansites
4) Don't impersonate staff
5) Abide by the Habbo and Fansite way

New Rules:
1) Don't flood or spam other fansites
2) Follow the Habbo and Fansite way
3) Don't impersonate staff

So what you've done is, removed 1 and 2. Let's look at the old rules if you remove 1 and 2.

Old Rules:
3) Don't flood, spam or advertise other fansites
4) Don't impersonate staff
5) Abide by the Habbo and Fansite way

New Rules:
1) Don't flood or spam other fansites (OLD RULE)
2) Follow the Habbo and Fansite way (OLD RULE)
3) Don't impersonate staff (OLD RULE)

Exactly the same as the new rules. All you've done is taken 1 and 2 and just said "Abide by the Habbo and Fansite way". So you've basically done nothing to change the rules. So instead of telling us not to be racist, abusive or to bully, you're just saying go by the Habbo Way which states...

* Do not bully, harass or abuse other players; avoid violent or aggressive behaviour.


I know there's been banning changes and some other updates but seriously, the old and new rules are exactly the same, just worded different.

It's not about the wording of the rules it's about the way they are enforced which is something I believe HxHD and General Management have targetted to improve.

There is no reason to get rid of all the rules though. There is actually no need for anyone in the room to flood/spam or to break the habbo way or impersonate staff. There is changes on how you are going to be dealt and punished for breaking the new rules or new worded rules like you care calling them.

Can I ask what do you actually want? To be able to flood and break the habbo way freely? :S

[Josh]

@Matt No. Just to enforce the HabboWay more and use common sense.

[Dean]

What's the point in having rules if you're just saying "abide by the Habbo Way" anyway? ;s

[HotelUser]

The day we allow for racism, bullying and flooding 50 lines of a fish alt will be the day I happily pass in my resignation of manager as the department

The significant changes here are what the staff perceive these rules to be. A staff guide is currently being constructed to bring all the help desk staff to a fair standard of room moderation.

Imo, the rules are fine and they're not the problem. I don't get why not being racist etc. shouldn't be on the rules. It's about the way they're enforced and staff using their common sense in situations which needs to be raised.

Because you can't always trust the hotel's moderation to deal with users who is breaking the Habbo way. So to stop them from carrying on saying rude things or flooding in that room, HxHD has it's own moderation.

Very well said, the rules have been relaxed by quite a lot so I think it's pointless being picky.

[Richie]

I think the new rules are fine, however I can see were Dean is coming from, why should there be rules for specific things if they already fall under 'follow the habbo way'.


I say scrap all the rules and just have 'follow the habbo way' if people break those rules then kick them, it will make it easier for staff and if people are like 'why am I banned' you can direct them to the habbo way page and explain what rule they broke. Obviously I'm not saying allow racism, flooding or bullying as those are against the habbo way anyway, so if people break the habbo way kick them.
