feedback polls.

Nothing major, and I know Lindsey is Canadian but until the merge this is a UK fansite, so I think it would have been better if words were spelt the British way.. such as 'Favourite' not 'Favorite'

Just because this is a UK fansite that doesn't mean people have to spell words the British way. Who actually cares how you spell the word 'Favourite' :S

[Inseriousity.]

I'm sorry, but I have to be on Lindsey's side on this. I'm also international and I spell favorite like so < It's not that I'm lazy, I'm actually offended that you called me lazy. It's just that it's the way I have spelled it my entire life. If you were on a US fansite I'm sure you would spell favorite like "favourite" and no one would care. It wouldn't make a difference to anyone, so why is everyone all upset about this?

And I'm sure that having the polls isn't changing anyone's life or making the forum bad at all. Lindsey needed help for the Gameshow Marathon and she did what she thought would be best. It isn't 'spam' because it wasn't pointless.

So what if I spell things different? Don't like it? I'm sorry but you need to get over it. ;/

You misunderstood her post, she was talking about the people who said there were too many polls
LOL mike, "catch a grip", classic!

I voted in them all, didn't take me that long to do either.

So you're all pretty much arguing over the way people from outside the UK spell different words? Who cares if this is a UK fansite? We're all human beings and we have a right to use this site, if they want to spell words how they please then let them do it. There has been international users on this site for years and now you feel like you want to tell them to get out? They can't exactly change the way they speak and spell things. American, Canadian, British whatever - who cares what we spell like, can you understand what it says? Yes? Well shut up then, don't argue about it.

I'm talking about the people who kept saying that she was 'spamming' up the polls. Spam is something that is pointless and that is repeated over and over. These polls were not pointless, although they were repeated. They all had a point. I'm mainly just upset that people are sitting there telling me how to spell certain words simply because I live in a a different country. It's stupid.

Habbox may just support a UK fansite at this moment in time. But that does not mean users from around the world cannot join up and work for the website. If they wish to spell like they spell in their country, then it isn't a major problem. Everyone makes spelling mistakes, we are not all perfect after all.

I agree its annoying, far too many polls.

There may be many polls but there is a reason for that. You do not have to vote or view for them if you do not wish, it's not going to happen on a daily basis. Like it has been said before in this thread it's a "one off".

Also Does this mean that, after the merge were allowed to post words that are from our country? ;S , because that is what your saying..

Actually she wasn't being lazy, and canadians spell it the way the UK spell it. When she was doing the polls she was using Google Chrome, which has an auto-dictionary. The auto-dictionary was telling her to change it to this, so she challenged her spelling and went for the Dictionaries version of the word 'favourite.' Little did she know Google Chrome is set to US-English by default. Doesn't mean she isn't spelling it's the UK way, it just means she didn't want to challenge the dictionary, and instead she challenged her own spelling....

And why do you care about spelling, English has evolved, a lot of people use slang in the UK which isn't used in America/Canada, and they don't care, they learn what it is, and just accept it. So don't just flame Lindsey over how she's spelt a word because of a stupid dictionary setting, i like you Jen, but seriously..... (Jen this isn't mainly aimed at you, mainly aimed at ANDROID )

what the ****?
i was being sarcastic when i said +rep to android. i'm not petty enough to care about spelling. i said the ones talking about there being too many polls were lazy and they didn't have to do it. i thought maybe the "i thought it was a good idea, getting the community involved can't be a bad thing. i voted in em all anyway, thanks for giving me something to do ;o" part would show i thought it was well done, obviously not lmao..... have canadians ever heard of sarcasm:S

[AgnesIO]

Woah sorry for causing offence just my opinion - so am I allowed to speak spanish everywhere now - was just saying my opinion, which last time I checked was allowed..

No lindsey, the reason I mentioned after the merge is because habbox will be international.

And whoever thought jen wasn't taking the piss needs help.
