Account clear-out

[Apple]

Not sure if you have done one recently but are you planning on doing another account clear-out meaning any accounts that either have no posts or haven't logged on in years will be deleted?

Also looking at older threads there seems to be quite a lot of permanently banned users, maybe clearing out all of them would be a good idea to again free up more usernames.

But before you go ahead and clear them out, perhaps you could consider a mass unban of accounts and any that you don't want to unban can simply be deleted then.

This is what I dont like. You go to any old thread; http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=4209

That thread number was chosen at random and on the first page 20% of people are permed. They hardly look like malicious users. I think people should only be permed if they do nothing but cause trouble. Mass Unban has to be done through admin cp rather than people appealing. It takes two seconds to perm people again. Everyone should be given another chance. Potentially hundreds of people back. Would work wonders. We're all teenagers and one aspect about being a teenager is that everyday you mature. People who were banned months/years ago should be awarded a second chance.

I completely agree with you. The benefits of a mass-unban would be magnificent in a lot of ways and would potentially increase the amount of activite users/threads/posts tremendously which is what we want, right? In our teen years we change a lot but in a very short time so I bet 90% of all the people who were once banned for trouble causing will be more mature and follow the rules. To make banned users aware of this they could be sent an email to to the email address they used to sign up with.

I want my old account back, management is lying to me. I never asked for a perm, the original ban was seven days.

Yeah, that was what I suggested in my ideas thread a week or so ago. I don't think that's how they're going to do it though, unfortunately.

I think a little good-will might go a long way at the moment.

alternatively you could unban everyone & those who misbehave at all, perm them immediatley

you could email them - say a couple of days before - explaining the procedure

(to make it more of an event you could do this at new year so it's a fresh start)


as for the deletion of inactive accounts, you could email those saying 'log on in the next 2 weeks or your acount will be deleted'

Permed accounts will stay permed. I am currently working on the clear out which stretches out into forums, threads, posts and pms also but currently this isn't topping my priority list in actual fact I have been talking about doing it for about 3 months now I have only just started actually doing something about it as of 2 days ago.

People do mature yes and often we give them the benefit of doubt from what I can see in the ticket system. However you can argue that they mature because of the consequences of their immature actions. At the end of the day we are not the members nannies or parents and we aren't here to take their toys away when they misbehave and return it back to them when they are good.

We also don't have the time to run any weird amnesty for accounts or mass unbannings to only ban accounts again remember we only allow one active account per person.

I GAVE YOU THE BAN FOR 7 DAYS AND YOU ASKED FOR IT TO BE INCREASED TO 7 LMAO! How many times have I told you!

Also, I agree get my 2004 account unbanned and merged - it was banned for no reason ages ago and I'm hardly a *+*tRoUbLeCaUsEr*+*

The unbanned accounts could be merged if anyone has made another account. Although like you said; it isn't your duty to act as a nanny to the members, I'm sure it is of your best interest to keep Habbox active and full of life. A mass unban of accounts would help do just that.
