    Default Habbox.

    Hello.
    Before you start making out that I am posting this because I was fired, This is not the case.

    I'm sure i won't be the only one, But in my opinion, Habbox is well, Being pathetic. I mean come on, Staff fired nearly every hour, People being banned. Brandon was banned for putting "Hiet Smells", I mean come on? How sad, Have you seen Eckuii's sig? Nvrspk4 has put "Adi smell's" has anything happened? No. Also, Mods/Smods/Admins messing around with usernotes, Signatures,Profiles and numerous other things. I mean, Usernotes are there for a reason, Not to mess around with. Signatures are something someone has done, Then an admin/smod leave's something in there, You could atleast ask them to remove it before putting "Edited by [Username](Job): Don't have an image bigger than 700x150 in your sig", I mean, Atleast give them a chance. Also, I have personally noticed staff swearing,Spamming and other such things, But i won't name any names. Also, If your ever going to be an official fansite(Which probably won't happen because of the past), Then i advise you lighten up. I mean, Sure, You should be strict, But not this strict.

    So that's what i personally think, And knowing this, I'll get banned.

    But it's what i feel and believe.

    Stealth.

    and until I got it reduced the ban was PERM LMAO But then it got reduced
    to 3 days. And on my level-up account I had a huge sig all they had
    to do was remove it like they do but they just banned me instead,
    and that was perm too till I got it lowered, it's stupid.

    Okay this is going to be an unbiased reply (i hope)

    You made the comment that some staff spam and swear, we are aware of this and this can sometimes be the contributing reason as to why people get fired every hour. But even still your comment about staff being fired is a bit unfair, as there is no real set schedule when staff can be removed from a team so it can essentially be whenever.

    The forum moderators do PM most users about the signature images however forum SM and Admins tend to go for the straight removal as frankly its easier for us to do that as oppose to PM'ing many users and awaiting a reply before we take action.

    Also members are fully aware of the limitations of signature images so why do they feel the need to break the rule? However I do feel that if Admins and SM do have the time to spare it would be better etiquette to message the users first.

    Sometimes the permanent bans are a mistake because the default setting on bans on this board is permanent so when we quickly try and ban a user we do make mistakes. But we do ban users if they fail to heed warnings, if we look at your user notes and you have repeatedly been warned for breaking such rule we will ban you for it.

    Oh and also I now deal with the contact emails as of today so there is really no reason for there to be a lack of reply about any issues including bans. Give me about 24 hours.

    On a final note, I like englands signature image

    Why should Admins have to PM you to use the correct size signature? When you join up to this forum you should check over the rules.
    By PM'ing you they would then have to check your profile again in a few days, this all takes time, its much simpler and more effective if they just remove it.
    If you see staff swearing then report it to 8Freak8 or Sierk or their manager, i think most people on the forum know to do that, you can't expect admins to check every staff members posts.
    And i don't think Habbox is really bothered about being official or not, you didn't see Habbox make a big thing out of the last nominations did you.

    Too true that. Aslong as we have a running site and many members that appreciate it I frankly couldnt give a krispy kreme doughnut (mhhmm Krispy Kreme doughnut)

    Tell me how habbox could make it any stricter.. You visit any other forum they don't have set of rules as big as habbox's.
    If you express your opinion you generally get banned if it is something against habbox. The moderating is as strict as any other habbo fansite I have seen. Habbox is like a dictatorship with secret police. If you speak out against the dictator (habbox) you get imprisoned (banned). That is the one rule I hate the most, well its probably the only rule I don't agree on. Other fansites take on comments and critisism and try and improve on what people have said not give them permenant bans. The usernote thing is a total shambles. If you are a moderator you can just delete your own usernotes, then if your fired perhaps you don't have any usernotes when previously you may have only been one away from being banned for too many usernotes against your name.

    I agree in some respects and however dont in others.

    IMO the moderation system is a sham.

    Too many mods, unprofessional. The moderation system needs an uphall. Less mods, get rid of the crap ones, and give the better ones the power to ban.

    Its just warning after warning for all offences, the minor ones shouldnt even be warned for, yet for serious offenses i see people going by with just a warning.

    And the admins go around banning for any little stupid thing, such as having an opinion?

    You need to find the balance

    Just my two cents, nothing personal

    Oh and in a related note, ADMINS NEED TO ANSWER THE 'CONTACT US' FORM, whats the point of having it if youre not going to answer it?

    For the love of christ..

    Alot of people get away with sigs still, spamming, swearing, rude, posting in wrong places, breaking rules.

    Staff swearing was addressed in the staff forum about 1 hour ago
