Pictures of ourselves as avatars

[Black_Apalachi]

K, when I get home, I'm just gonna put a random ugly person in my avatar, what would b the difference? ...

The difference is you're just doing it to be difficult

Which is my point, you can't have a rule if it can't be moderated really. There's no real reason to have this rule. If people aren't confident with themselves, they won't use it. And if people don't like looking at other peoples avatars thn tough, there's an option to disable isn't there? I could have a really ugly avatar of a randomer, and people wouldn't like looking at that..

Well the rule has been working perfectly fine since the dawn of Habbox and I don't see why those of us who don't want to see the few avatars with people's pictures in should have to hide every avatar on the forum

I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm trying to prove a point. People are complaining saying that they wouldn't want to see ugly people in avatars. I've picked a random person for mine, which proved two points I'd made.
1. Ugly avatar
2. If I hadn't posted in the papoy, and i'd chose a less obvious google search, no one would have known it was me. If a mod asked me, I'd just say it was someone I found attractive..

Yes the rules worked fine up to now. Hell, the rule worked fine because wasn't it a rule on habbo? Which is why it was there in the first place? They changed their rule, I think it's about time we changed ours..

Well I'm not calling anybody ugly so I don't care about that but strictly speaking, I would have thought it should be against the rules to have an avatar of ANYBODY who isn't famous (i.e. easily found via a Google search). You found that picture randomly on the internet so what if whoever it is decides to register on Habbox and sees your avatar - especially with people talking about it being ugly. This may be unlikely but it's still a possibility given that we're talking about the biggest fansite of one of the biggest online games.

Anyway, whatever lol just answer me one thing; how the hell would you post a picture on Habbo anyway?!

[kk.]

It was just that it was against the habbo way to post pictures of yourself on fansites.. Or something.

There's no specific rule regarding posting pictures of randomers for ur avatar tho

i hate it on forums where you have to look at people i just think it's better to have something like this where they are threads but there is no need to have them on every post !

Stubborn management blinded by their own very fallible logic.

Stubborn management blinded by their own very fallible logic.

If management were that stubborn would they have made a poll and carried this on further?

If they weren't, they wouldn't post the big bold red writing saying 'the result of this poll does not matter, we're not changing cus we said so' or, at least, that's what it should have said, because that's what it sounds like.

Just like YouTube embedding, it's 2:1 in favour, yet, no word as of yet, and because sam and garion don't want it, it prob means we won't get it

Didn't sierk not want it for some reason so we don't have a choice anyway?

All the arguments against don't wash with me, I could put a picture of anyone in my DP and yeah idk where this sentence is going but it doesnt make sense anyway. Should probably have slept more last night
