Zycon the Hobba - Under 18?

[BlackGarden]

I think it's very unfair to let someone under the age limit become a Hobba.
That rule is there for a reason, and it can't be changed just because of one person.
All we can do is wait for a reply from BlackGarden's email.

This is exactly what I think, though I do have to continuously point out that the rumour has NOT yet been confirmed.

if this is true habbo fansites will be running stories for weeks about corruption of habbo

Hobba's cant do everything either, they can't stop hackers or scripters. Hacking as in viruses and keyloggers. As they run the risk being scammed.

oh my god ur all daft. he will have lied on his date of birth!

I've seen on something that super hobbas can do activity logs on silver hobbas or any other hobbas, it may be only staff, but if this is the case, you could ask lincognito or mizki to try and find out some things like what he does, what he says and this could get some proof....

Where is all this stuff about a "moderation law" coming from? There are no laws to cover what volunteer work you can and can't do when you're under 18! (If I'm wrong on that please please just link me to an actual government site showing me the law rather than just vaguely explaining.)

Just because there is not a law on it doesn't mean that Habbo is not allowed to choose what age they hire their Hobbas at. Habbo can choose whatever age they like, it isn't because there is a British law saying that you can't do voluntary work under 18, because of course you can. Habbo choose 18 for a number of reasons that you already understand.

The reason I was referring to law is because if you read through this thread a lot of people seem to have the impression that Habbo chose the age 18 because of a law. I was just making certain it was understood that it was not in fact a law, but a choice Habbo had made for other reasons, and thus if they did allow someone to become a Hobba under the age of 18, knowingly or unknowingly, they would not risk being shut down as there is no law in place to shut them down.

2hd: Yes, it's possible that if he is under 18 and Habbo had not realised, that he had used an older brother's name and date of birth to obtain an ID. Or he could simply have lied about his own DOB when obtaining the ID and hoped that they did not check his reference. CitizenCard very rarely check references. I'm pretty sure they didn't check mine. However, he could have been caught out by a random check if he had done that.

Ok since everyone is curious about this rumour I have messaged GlitterKat about it and i'm looking into it. If I found out anymore i'll post it here first.

Zycon is on my list and he seems cool, as the Habbo Staff on this forum have said MANY MANY TIMES, Habbo have very strict ID orders.
