New Rule: Room Link

[Jarkie]

In the 'COOL ROOMs' bit of this forum, there is a huge increase of users posting Retro rooms. To fix this I reckon you should make this rule.

A user is posting their room(s); User must then post the ROOM link; and the user who owns that room. Maybe?

This will stop the retro rooms, I think>>> 'cos then people can see it is a fake and report it ASAP.

Yeah, agree with this. Although retros are REALLY easy to tell apart from real habbo - from basic things like colours of furni, to glitches and stacking between certain types of furni. One person lately has posted a few retro rooms, 2-3 I think and I don't think he's learn his lesson, continues posting them and trying to tell everyone they aren't retro rooms when they clearly are. Even with that warning thread to sighs. Ban for whoever posts a retro room from now on? :L

Maybe a 'verification' thing on these cool room threads, like users can check out the room link to see if it is true or false ('Cos no doubt they will use fake link or something)

Getting everyone to post a link when they post their room wouldn't be an easy thing to do. It is usually easy to spot a retro room from a normal habbo room anyway so it isn't a huge issue.

@JerseyShore; A ban would be a bit harsh

I still think there needs to be something.

Yeah haha but I mean for repeat offenders, 2 times in like a day? Bit ott. How many warnings does he get before he gets banned? :L

Well.. you could just make me mod then I'll spot all the retros cause im good like that and there we go, job done! hehe

Giving harsh warnings out for posting a screenshot of a room they may or may not have created on a retro is silly.

'may' or 'may not'. you can clearly always tell whether its on a retro or not, theres no second thinking. they both look totally different. so do they not get warned at all for posting retro images, or.. ?

The amount of retro rooms being posted isn't THAT high so introducing a rule like that would be impractical.

All rule breaks except pointless posting follow this system:

Pm > Warning > Infraction.

Most infractions are worth 1 point so if someone was to break the rule multiple times then it wouldn't take long for them to be cautioned/temp banned.

5 Points = 3 Day Caution
6 Points = 2 Day temporary ban
7 Points = 3 Day temporary ban
8 Points = 4 Day temporary ban
9 Points = 7 day temporary ban
10 Points = Permanent ban

That isn't the case, anyone can go on a retro design a room and it just looks like normal Habbo. Where's your proof that it's a retro then? The only proof that it would be a retro if the following has been added to the screenshot:

a) Furni that hasn't been released publicly.
b) The URL or the name of the retro has been included in the image
c) Some sort of odd crap that would not be possible on the real Habbo client
