If you were GM and could make one change

Not quite sure what that argument is about but if a rule says not to post inappropriate content, it's kind of self-evident that it also applies to sigs and avatars. This is the kind of thing that makes it harder for the rules to be relaxed.

That wasnt pointless?

You asked me what i would do, and what i would do is man jake, cus all he does is spam with stupid threads and go on about how hes e-dating diffrent people and it really annoys me.

-soz for dig just it does annoy me-

I think he's already a man :L

[Black_Apalachi]

I know you said to only post one idea, but I have another one that I always think of; either incorporate the Help Tool into the forum or get rid of it completely and just have a thread for it similar to the complaints thread. It's just because I always forget about it, I can never find it, and it just seems like it could easily be done within the forum.

Edit: Just realised it's required for account retrievals init :eusa_doh:

I'd hire new RV management or ease forum rules.

Scrap the entire management/staff structure, Habbox is too much as a business as it is. Sites such as CH manage with just one owner, one site manager, one forum manager and then a techy and two/three department managers. The fact that habbox has 25+ managers/agm's is shocking and it strikes me that they're just lazy.

Fix the lecture known as Forum Rules, they're terribly written, most make little sense and if they aren't scaring potential members off, then it's the red writing and miserable PMs they're given when they do wrong.

This is win.
If members actually register after a probably 80% drop rate from visits because of skins, they are met with very strict rules (habbo's for teens 11-17 ***), a group of flaming ocd's called the community, confusion and a sudden realization that the actual habbo community here is near non existent. So they move to CH.

This was my first thought when I saw the thread title. I know comps keep talking about big changes ("next month") but regardless they do not need to be a separate team and could probably achieve more merged. Competitions really can't be that difficult to come up with - rehashed old ones are fine to use if they've proven popular - and the fact that there are currently just two competitions going on at the moment is dire, especially considering the fact that if the Habbox staff page is up to date there are 7 comps staff members.

I said "next month" in December, January's already seen us change almost everything about the department. As for there being 2 competitions atm, that's because it is only the 2nd February. We're not going to post every competition at the beginning of the month, that'd be stupid. 2 comps a day for the rest of the month, that's how it's going.

As for merging comps and events, I'd say the job roles are so completely different that it allows for two seperate departments. Events require a lot more work (there, I've admitted it Roxy :p) and as it's just a voluntary job, I doubt it'd be very fair to expect people to do both competitions and events.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah it would definitely not be fair to expect people to do an event AND post a thread.

[Inseriousity.]

Yeah it would definitely not be fair to expect people to do an event AND post a thread.

3 events a month, 4 competitions a month. I was refering to competitions staff doing events, it's completely impractical! I've been doing it for a couple of months now, it's bloody hard work and should not be compulsory.

edit: If I thought it was a good idea, I'd have fired myself straight away and told them to just have roxy manage both but I see no good reason for merging the two.

doesn't say POSTS, says post!!

Same thing. "To post" is the same as "to make posts", ones is singular and one is plural but both relate to adding content manually on a forum as to contribute to a discussion.

anything you do on this forum your posting it so if your putting it into your sig your posting it everytime you reply to a thread.

The whole rule revolves around posting on the forums, not adding signature images and avatars to your forum account. If it did, it wouldn't revolve around adding links instead to other websites (though it says nothing about uploading them to Habbox, which is uploading and NOT posting )

and 2nd part of rule says nothing about post :p Images or links with inappropriate content or pictures, gore, nudity, obscenity or annoyance such as never ending pop-ups are not allowed.

Read the next sentence The sentence that follows after the rule header describes what is meant by inappropriate content (the sentence you posted), the sentence after that describes a situation (pointlessly) in what way the rule works:

The only exception to this is when posting an outside link such as a video or image where content is mildly sexual/offensive but suitable for 14 -16 years old.

A is general rules so for all around, if your trying to make the rules clearer then wouldn't it be worse adding an extra rule to section B when section A covers the forum in general, section B is just more realted to it so users should still be aware of rules in section A so

So you agree that splitting up the rule (pointlessly) is a bad idea? A rules are General Forum rules which revolve around behaviour and posting, though the way the rules specifically describe each situation make them easy to abuse and pointless to read (as it is like reading a boring ToS you get with a new computer). B reflects on what is and isn't allowed in forum accounts - signatures and avatars (as mentioned in the current rules B2. revolves around signatures and avatars). Also, section A mentions nothing about uploading to Habbox, the rule specifically says linking to other websites so posting images and media from another website is not allowed. HOWEVER, posting media of an inappropriate nature from Habbox (e.g. uploading an avatar/signature image) is technically acceptable as there is no rule for it, but naturally it would be tackled whether the member likes it or not

Anyway, I agree with FlyingJesus about competitions and events should be merged together into one team. There's no reason to seperate them, as far as I can tell at least. If people prefer to do competitions, then let them. It's a department after all, it doesn't explicitly mean you HAVE to do both, people can do what they prefer and it's cleaner and easier to deal with. Heck, competitions come as part of an event usually :/

The only exception to this is when posting an outside link such as a video or image where content is mildly sexual/offensive but suitable for 14 -16 years old. This is allowed but it must be a link or in a spoiler with a suitable warning in bold . IT MUST NOT BE POSTED DIRECTLY ONTO THE FORUM

So why does the rule state links and not posted directly onto the forum, as by your standard theres no rules about not posting directly (attachment/img tags, etc) onto the forum so if they didn't take take for granted everything would be an outside link just because it doesn't say attachment etc doesn't mean it isn't included and anyone using the forum can take for granted no porn :S


(Including Signature images linked to the websites).

Seems it does refer to sigs in A

[Jamiie]

Make it Able to Buy VIP.

Be able just to click Add Attachment, and Then you browse your computer. Instead of having to go through websites
