THIS IS JUST SO OFF-TOPIC.

[sam iz da buz]

If I wanted to be told off for every move I made, i'd be at school

Yet we're in our free time,we're here to have fun, not get told off about everything

It's ridiculous

[Dan2nd]

Off topic = Making no contribution or adding any rellevant information to the topic being discussed.

When I got an infraction for being offtopic I was contributing (sp?) by joking about somewhere I made out .. and as the thread was about the weirdest place you made out it was on topic as thats what I was joking about .. I reported it in the report your infraction thread and wasn't happy with the reply then pmed one of the management and never got a reply ... rude

Their posts had no relevance to the subject, this is also knwon as: off topic posting.
Off topic posting is not allowed and therefore, deserve an infraction for breaking the rules.

Unfortunately, I do not see a problem here?

Unfortunately, I can see a few problems here; the original problem I posted about, you failing to read both my original post correctly as well as the post when I stated I was challenging the rule not the definition and this:

Check his moderator logs around that time.

I am sure they have noticed this but that was months ago and I assure you, I am no longer immature as I was then. They picked out "The best" applications and mine was one of them. Unfortunately, I do not believe you are in a position to criticise their judgement.
Also, I advise you to remove the chat log as it against the rules.
Discussions are to be held within the topic. If the people posting off topic wish to discuss something else, they may create their own thread.
However, the posters went on to be rude to each other and post about a certain forum member's condition.

They broke the rules, and you should know that when people break the rules, they are to be infractioned or warned.

I also suggest that if you wish to complain about what I have done before, or just to have a dig at me, please take it elsewhere to management.

For example, someone posted an alteration. I commented about alterations yet got an infraction because I did not rate his particular alt?

Lol, will you ever stop talking about that? You were commenting on the comments of people in the threads of the thread starter, you didn't say anything about the alt.

I haven't seen any unfair off-topic infractions to be honest, I check the thread with Ymo's warnings and I think they were all fair. The topic wasn't the spelling of some word, it was back to school.
So I don't see the problem in that thread, sorry.

And to quote from the rules:
C18. Do not make off topic posts - It is not allow to make off topic posts in a thread. If you need to discuss something that the thread is not about, make a new thread instead.

I agree with the OP. I got an "off-topic" infraction because I said a word which was filtered, and it was the only word in my post.

It was LMAO with an F in the middle. Damn trialists.

[English]

3/4 of my infractions are for just that. I see what you mean.

Judging by a few edits I saw prior to creating this thread, I knew the title would get your much-desired moderator attention.

I find it's pretty pathetic people get warned for "off-topic" posting, when actually they have just replied to a post which was on-topic. However, they were warned as their post didn't fit in with the thread's initial subject. The point of a forum is to discuss, conversations can curve and different discussions can arise within the one said subject. By warning anyone who changes the subject slightly, or posts their disapproval of a point someone made within an on-topic post is pretty pathetic and constricts any form of mature conversation.

An example of this: http://habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=253818
Eight warnings were issued by the moderator YMO as the conversation curved, curving as a result of users rightfully arguing someone was wrong by correcting another user's spelling (the user happens to be dyslexic). Seriously, keep up the great work YMO.

I honestly think moderators need to think about whether users' posts are pointless to the thread as a whole, more-so than if they're going to be ranked #1 on next week's moderator-log leader board. Anyway, thanks for reading. (k)

Yeah I agree Josh. If you reply to someone's post in the thread then your not going off topic from the thread "/ If however you make a random post say for example there is a thread about penguins and you say "My pencil is green" then that is off-topic "/ Not if someone makes a comment to it and you comment on that.
I got 2 infractions yesterday for sticking up for my mate who was being told his spellings wrong when he's dyslexic, how mucked up is that? Then we complain to the MODs and they give us this bullcrap saying "I'm only doing my job", well the MODs have their own voice they should say 'Well he's ethically in the right so I'm not going to bother infractioning him', IDIOTS "/

Ok then so I should make a new thread talking about what they are doing
in a certain thread?

That quote isn't against any rules, I suggest you learn the rules if you're planning on passing the trial; actually, don't worry! I'm sure you'll get past with your great reputation of a trustworthy person!

Anyhow, again you've just came back and said "they were breaking a rule", I'm not disputing that they didn't break a rule; I'm saying moderators shouldn't attack users with infractions who dare to slightly post "off-topic". Seriously, at the rate you're going everyone will have lost their first Habbox account and will be using one without any posts/rep ETC. which they don't care about. How do you seriously expect to punish people if all you can do is ban their accounts they don't care about? You are digging Habbox's grave, as well as ruining Habbox users' experience on the forum at the same time.
