    Default Some articles..

    Some articles ive read posted by superfly-dan seem to be quiet offensive towards alot of people on habbo and alot of people do take offence from comments like his and articles like this will go against habbox's rep.

    What he is saying in his article may be true but i think that it could be toned down a bit. Ye people like a rant and a rave but people do take things personally.

    Lonely and ugly people are no different
    they don’t have any real friends
    People who also go on Habbo in search of “a fit gf” are also lonely and ugly.
    Runescape is for nerds
    big time geeks that bring in apples for their school teachers
    These people are boring and they like to pretend that they are the small alien character from Lord of the Rings
    then these ‘activities’ around Habbo are immature and, without a better word than ‘Babyish’
    These are just some comments from one article that some people may find very offensice towards them. And before people do say, i do play habbo and runescape and im not posting this because i find them offensive im posting because i play them, i know alot of people will find it offensive.

    The runescape one imparticular could offend a lot of people on this forum.
    The other day I was in a toilet.
    A voice came from the cubicle next to me: "Hello mate, how are you doing?"
    I didn't want to be rude, so I said, "Not too bad, thanks."
    I heard the voice again. "So, what are you up to?"
    Again I answered, "Just having a quick ****... How about yourself?"
    Then I heard him say "Sorry, mate, I'll have to call you back. I've got some **** in the cubicle next to me answering everything I say."

    Super-Dan? Who? Never heard of him... But those comments are stupid and just for the sake of it, I'm going to beleive he is what he has mentioned in that article. A nerd, ugly and lonely.

    I do agree it's quite offensive, but it is also clear to me that he is giving his own opinion about things, especially since it says "Each week superfly-dan vents his opinions ...".

    I don't see a problem with it really. As stated above its he's personal opinion on topics we all encounter on a daily basis. Also, people are not forced to view these articles. However, I do agree they could be toned down a lot more. I think a better approach would be to single out negative topics everyone can relate to and will agree with. Eg: War in Iraq, famous people, politics, politicians, matters affecting society etc.

    Agreed but surely Habbox should not let any of its staff write articles that a lot of its members, particuarly Runescapers and Habbo members would find offensive?

    If these opinions were against Habbox Staff I dont think it would be allowed.
    (please note example only) ' All Habbox Admin are Nerds. '


    In addition they are completely subjective, totally stereotypical and not worthy of being on the front page of Habbox.Com IMHO.
