HabboxForum Suggestions Box! [+15Rep to all reasonable suggestions!]

[xxMATTGxx]

It was never about mass spamming, spam has never been permitted to be used for advertising.

To add on to what Oli has already said. We do not have a spam section for users to advertise their websites or advertise so it benefits them in any way, there is other sections around the forum that can be used for this. One being "Show Off Your Website", as Oli has already pointed it out it has not be permitted for a very long time.

Before you created the thread again, I have posted links to my sites a million times, especially during when I had rapidlinks, I was not warned a single time. What is the problem in me just posting a link to a site? :S One thread once in a while does no harm. Yes if I made a thread on it everyday, I can understand but not allowed to do it is silly :S It's spam.

I've seen threads of yours about your site in spam and a lot of them weren't advertising but linking to something useful/funny.

For me I think its the fact that people get offended too easily. And if you offend somebody on this forum who has a coloured name becuase they are staff, all the Managers back them to the hilt.

Not only that but all the AGM and GM are too closely linked and are so biased towards the managers of this forum. Just because your make the rules, doesn't mean your above them. I think that the management should take their head out of their arse.

I disagree that they are closely linked - they may look it but they aren't. However I agree that they are biased and "should take their head out of their arse." - that comment goes for most of the managers. I think its obvious who they are.

also (i probably am being ignored, but i dont mind), the mods/admins etc are way too protective of each other. If you say that so and so does a bad job, every single person says "NO THEY DONT THEY ARE DOING IT PROPA"... ;l

very well said i couldn't agree more

also, this thread is a prefect example of what is going wrong - i'll try to explain

when staff open threads like this asking us what needs improving, we give suggestions & all staff seem to do (especially Oli in this case) is knock most suggestions down & throw them out of the window. we're trying to help you here - if you don't like a particular suggestion simply ignor it & don't get sarcastic & rude because you don't agree with it. no wonder no one wants to post...


as well as this, it's been said many times in this thread - moderators are too strict

here is an example of a warning i received recently:

Dear Special,

You have received a warning at Habbox Forum.

Reason:
-------
Inappropriate Content

You have received a warning on Habboxforum because a recent thread/post you made is deemed as breaking the rules. In this post you posted a video which is unsuitable for people under the age of 18 - the film itself is 18+ for a reason. The videos you posted contains gory images and even though you did warn users and put it in a spoiler this is still not acceptable as it is still 18+. This video also tricks user into being scared.

A2. Do not post inappropriately ~ Habbox Forum has an audience that includes younger members, and as such all content must be suitable for those members. You must not:

• Talk about adult subjects in an explicit manner.
• Swear or avoid the forum filter in any way (including by using abbreviations)
• Post images, videos or links that with inappropriate content like gore, nudity, obscenity or annoyance.

Mildly inappropriate content (never anything rated 18+) is allowed where sufficient warning is added into the post and the image or link is placed within a spoiler. The final decision on what is or is not inappropriate is at the Moderator's discretion

Original Post:

contains images that may be unsuitable for minors

Spoiler





p.s turn the volume up you can hardly hear the voice at the beginning


Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,
Habbox Forum

i clearly stated that the video contained unsuitable images & included a spoiler ...yet still recieved a warning

not only that, she also mentioned it's against the rules to post a fake video - i didn't know at the times it was fake, but even so no where in the rules does it say you arn't

I've seen threads of yours about your site in spam and a lot of them weren't advertising but linking to something useful/funny.

Yes but before you started enforcing the rule, it was allowed to just post a link and ask users what they think. Spam is more relaxed. If someone posts in spam and not a specific forum, its for a reason. If I want proper reviews, I post in Show off your website. For just general chat, I post in Spam.

Can I just remind you that this thread is for suggestions and not the slagging off of staff etc, if you think staff need to improve then please state how

Saurav, I don't mind you posting in spam asking people what they think as long as you arent blatently advertising, in my eyes asking opinions isn't advertising.

Eveyone who has slagged off staff in this thread has stated how.

What do you think of the idea I posted earlier in this thread:

Another idea is to allow members to swap reputation for donor. Like if you collect xxx amount of rep, you can exchange that for a months donor. Would make people try and earn more rep.

Oh and do a mass un-ban.

What do you think of the idea I posted earlier in this thread:

i like the idea, itll encourage people to post more to earn the rep, and they would be rewarded for it, making them want to continue posting to get the reward again :]

[Hecktix]

Hmm, it does make a lot of sense although donator is vital to running costs so I don't know if people would stop buying it, but then again I suppose if you made it a reasonably high rep number then that wouldn't matter, what sort of figures were you thinking?
