Zycon the Hobba - Under 18?

[dobzy]

Sorry for digging out an old topic, but I thought I'd back up BlackGardens points. As you may or may not know, when Habbo Hotel first started out the Hobba Age limits were indeed aged 14; this within a few months increased to aged 16 - probably because of the growth of the website, and the amount of responsibilities Hobba's were gaining. Now, it's 18 years - becausen younger users should be concentrating on school work, family, and life, rather than Habbo and responsibilities of being a volunteer Moderator.

I believe, the fact when Habbo first started the age limits were incredibly low, prove that there actually isn't any limit on the age which a volunteer moderator has to be in the United Kingdom; Habbo just personally imply these rules, to think about their users safety, the ease of Parents, and generally the safety of there website.

So - if Habbo wish to "hire" an underage Hobba, for any reason, I doubt they can be criticised for breaking any form of law, but rather, their own rules. Which, obviously the company can change at any time, for whatever reason.

Another thing, rather than becoming increasingly stressed, angered, and bitter about this subject, IF Zycon is a test or experiment on behalf of GlitterKat, for any reason, I'd personally think of the positives that may come out of it.

Common knowledge suggests, that if Zycon is a test or experiment concerning the age limits of being a Hobba, then GlitterKat would have to repeat the same type of experiment with many, many, other people, as just "testing" one person, and basing your decision on that one person really isn't logical.

im pretty sure he is but hes only temporary i believe

Ok. Sick of all this " i don't think your right anymore." Zycon is being nice to people so people don't suspect. Heres the information - just wish i had a screenie of GK's message!

Zycon is dbzone.

4 pages later...

Probably DbZone or whatever that guys name is...

rofl

anyway, dobzy makes good points. Habbo have not broken any laws by giving dbzone a badge, I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT, all i have done is simply told the people what Glitterkat told me.

all i have done is simply told the people what Glitterkat told me.

Not meaning to cause a fight, but if Glitterkat new you were broardcasting infomation she had told you, do you think she would be pleased? If I was in your position I would have kept all that infomation to myself and not posted it on a Forum

If she did tell you that Dbzone is Zycon or whatever it is you are saying, then why would you want to let the Habbo public know about it? Wouldn't she have told you in confidence?

What rareoid said is true. I think there is some sort of 'experiment' going on where one underage user gets the chance to go on 'probation' for a month or so. Looks like the staff have contradicted themsleves by saying for a good few years now, and i quote... 'Under no circumstances will any users under the age of 18 (16 back then) be allowed to become a hobba'.

The people chosen each month by the staff will no doubt be the ones they have picked, not the ones who deserve it. Unfortunately it's all about who you know and not what you know. Sorry to dissapoint, but it's the truth.

EDIT - Changed, as requested

But anyway... looks like butt-kissing sulake staff does get you somewhere in life. (Opps, did i just say that out loud?)

haha, go you!

[Kardan]

haha, go you!

Phila is a hobba

Plus reading the posts earlier i think it's all just a tangled web.

I don't really care who the hobbas are as long as they do a good job Even if it is a 9 year old child *Looks at Dionysus*

as someone said above the age limits to be a hobba have gone from 16 to 18
so that might be why
and maybe the hobba might want a joke or sumot

Wow I go away for a week and this thread is still alive.
I totally agree with everything you've said there Phila. If this is true, then myself, many of my friends, and other Habbos under 18 who applied to be Hobbas at the same time as us, have been the victims of some serious double-standards. Fortunately, the 18th birthdays of all people affected by the age change are within the next year (if they haven't passed already), and mine's getting really close now
