    Ok... I am just going to go straight to the debate!

    What is the point of having a Scam Forum if we're not allowed to post the names,

    Reasons for:
    1) We can help prevent our community of being scammed!
    2) Stop people from trading these people so hopefully it will stop!
    3) If there embarrassed about being posted on the forum they will stop eventually!


    Reasons Against:
    1) Not sure if its obeying the habbo way!
    2) Just let the carry on the way it's normally been!
    3) Not every has full evidence of!

    There's probably more but just can not just think of them right now, I think we should be allowed to if we have legit evidence! Even if it is in a spoiler?

    Feel free for suggestions!

    Poll will Remain open for 10 Days

    Allow it if someone requests it and we send it to them via PM.

    I say it shouldn't be allowed. Scammers can easily create clone accounts, and there's nothing to stop me from saying:

    "Grumke scammed me 100 credits"

    most scammers are young and stupid they don't have a clue when was the last person who got banned from the wonderful habbo staff for scamming ?

    So you really think actual scammers that get named won't just say that as well?

    And what about this then:

    The rule is the way it is so that the forums aren't full of arguments and accusations aren't flying everywhere. As shown 'evidence' can easily be edited and it would just be an overall nightmare. At the end of the day if people know how the scammers are scamming, they don't really need to know the name of the scammer? And of course they could just talk to the OP if they really wanted to know?

    What about video recorded proof? Yeah images are very easy to edit but videos are a bit more difficult for the average user.

    I would be ''more inclined'' to allow name posting with video proof, but on the safer side I saw we just leave it as it is and have people PM the names if they want.
