    You know, with that attitude you'll get far in life. This thread was never about how "**** specific moderators are" as generally Habbox Forum Moderators can do their jobs.

    Obvious use of the N word is not allowed in videos, just as obvious use of the C word isn't.

    gutted my attitude on a forum is bad woteva will i do pls help

    Also why not, the videos are not aimed at people unless they are a diss in which case i highly doubt some celebrity is going to come on habboxforum lol... the N word is not used as a derogatory term, it's simply how they speak, a black man calling a black man a ****** is not racist

    like if i were to call you a

    contains swearin *REMOVED*


    you wouldn't find it rude, they also aren't filtered lol.. because i'm white i'm obviously not gonna use a white racial slur to be racist to you am i? obviously not......

    The fact most rap videos have the term ****** in it, it's not rude its not racist it's simply how they speak.

    Edited by Oli (Forum Manager): Please don't be rude to other forum members.

    The word has never been allowed at HabboxForum and in all honesty I don't even know why I am replying to you, all you are doing is being rude.

    Oh and in relation to those two words, I've never actually heard them before in my life :S

    Both are common racial slurs used against a white person so yeh...

    The N word isnt rude when its used in rap and such so its pointless banning it.

    It's still considerably rude and inappropriate for the general population around these parts of the world wide web.

    It is a word considered too rude for HabboxForum therefore it's banned, simple. We're going round and round in circles here, I've said it, MattGarner's said it too, many times - it is not allowed.

    I find honky and cracker very offensive

    I'm sure if a black member came and said they found ****** offensive before it was filtered it would be filtered

    So you're now being racist to me because i'm white, nice to know.

    Also because you said it's not allowed doesn't forbid me from posting my argument for it and why your decision is stupid.

    I can see where you are coming from but when have those words been used? I can't remember anywhere. If somebody said that to you you could report it as rude and I am sure it would be dealt with. Whilst it seems acceptable for blacks to call each other the N word it is universally condemned for any other race to do it. That is a fact of life. It is no different for somebody from Pakistan being called the shortened version - it is considered very offensive. If exceptions are made for music videos it is all going to get very complicated so a blanket ban is probably best.

    As Catzsy and HotelUser have explained, the decision isn't stupid.

    If you find those words offensive Scott then you could suggest that we filter them, although I had never heard of them before!
