r.e referral rule

[Favourtism]

A10. Please do not post asking for referrals ~ Referral marketing is a method of internet marketing that relies on gaining new customers by referrals, usually through word of mouth. Referrals can be an annoyance for members, and therefore they are not allowed, they are also not allowed in signatures.

This rule is supposed to protect members from pyramid schemes right? but what's wrong with friendly threads offering +rep to sign up to other forums, it used to happen fine and people did it (no completing offers or **) just registering to forums, which is exactly what happens in 'Show off your website'

[Hecktix]

You were also offering 2hc.

It is not allowed to bribe or ask other users to do something which will benefit you.

If you want to do it, don't say "put xxx as referrer", simple.

[Favourtism]

That's just the same as people saying COULD SOMEONE FIND ME THIS? +REP FOR HELP which is allowed; it's offering 'a bribe'

It's just a gift to those who do it :S

It's not forcing anyone, this place is unpopular compared to CH etc 'cause it's as strict as.

The rule was actually made in the first place because many members were complaining about them. It was so bad in Spam with people pestering that the rules there were amended so you can't advertise a website there at all. You are also the first person to complain about the rule being in force. If you want members to sign up and say that you referered them then it is a 'referral thread'. It's as plain as the nose on your face You could have just recommended the website. =] P.S.

I believe that's what's called bare pwnage.

Nothing wrong with the referral rule imo, like Rosie said you're the first to find issue with it

not bad ey? -.-

anyway i think this place is really strict compared to ch aswell... which is fair enough... But i get too scared to post anything on here because everything seems to be against the rules.... i feel more relaxed posting on ch as it isnt as strict and you can post pictures, and offer rep for anyone that can help you... just little things...

I hate not putting a pic of me in my av idk why.... just the fact im not allowed makes me want too

but thats a diff rule entirely i guess.

HI JEMM!!!! 3

Habbox has always been stricter than clubhabbo but then clubhabbo has been hacked alot more than Habbox has... alot more. habbox takes being a fansite more seriously, whilst clubhabbo takes it as a bit of a fun thing to do (which is actually good for the userbase so take it as a compliment). Each site has its flaws, Habbox has its flaws & Clubhabbo has theirs, some the same some entirely different.

Btw I think this rule more goes towards people posting Lockerz & "Get enough invites to win an ipod" sorta things? Which do get a bit annoying.

RYANNNNNNNNNNNNN 3333


Yes ClubHabbo has been hacked a lot more... but thats down to personal saftey, and security flaws that have gotten stronger and stronger since the recent hacking, its almost impossible to hack clubhabbo without being tomlegend, or hacking him... or knowing the passwords....

But habbox beign super strict doesnt mean its security is super amazing.... Are you saying if i reffer my site, or take a picture of myself and post it Habbox will get hacked, cuzim sure CH wasnt hacked because of that? (A)

Point is i think people who are quite childish are the kind of people who like ClubHabbo cuz it does take things seriously, but not OVER serious, cuz i dnt think a site for habbo hotel can't call itself serious.. i mean come on... habbo? lol...

Anyways a lot of our users are really young, whereas habbox has more mature users who have been around yonks! Just like you i think maybe thats the diffrence? I'm not sure... but ive been aroung ages and ClubHabbo makes habbo fun for me... it think habbox would jsut suck all the fun out of habbo for me if it was my main forum because there so much you can't really do that im use to doing on clubhabbo!

[Sammeth.]

I dont think this was ever intended to be a Habbox vs ClubHabbo thread, both sites are as equally good as each other, both appeal to different types of users, and thats why we both continue to exist. So lets just leave it at that.

One does believe the purpose of the thread was to discuss the rule which I think was pretty well summed up by Oli and Catzsy.

Fair point, the security bloke here is awesome & everyones pretty tight on it. I know Habbox bein strict isnt the case for their security, although its an attribute which helps towards being secure against security threats. Some rules on Habbox are just plain silly, like someone got infracted for a posting a picture that someone posted of themselves already on the forum. completely bonkers lol. Yeah Habbox has LOADS of old users but the old users are dying away and i think habbox know that which is why theres less members on the forum everyday. I like Habbox for the ppl I talk to on here, clubhabbos ok but when I was management there I got the sorta community feeling I get right now being a member of habbox for almost 5 years. tis just the viewpoint.

anyway completely derailing this threads purpose lol.
