Account clear-out

[immense]

Lets be honest though, thats never going to happen and how your almost like threatening to leave habbox unless you get your account back. I don't think that's going to change managements minds, unless they're foolish.

That isn't my intention at all. I love habbox, I enjoy using it, I don't think I'm a trouble maker. No other users have been permed with one infraction after being on the forum for four years. I have been in contact with Jin over PM and he is looking into it for me. If he decides that he is keeping my ban, which he might, I'd respect because he is the owner and like me he wants to improve the forum. If that is his decision, I will leave, it's not a threat but like I said it'd be the final kick in the teeth when all I've ever done is try to improve and help Habbox to move forward

Pretty sure you weren't doing that a few months ago, when you tried to nick all habboxs users for habbofailforum.com or w/e.

I think users should be unbanned aswell, but tbh the ones banned from like 2-6 years ago are not going to want to come back, they would have grown up and not use it anymore, I'm guessing the actuall ammount of people who would come back would be something like 10% and under. Although that would still be an increase and some of the more iconic members may come back.

I like whoevers idea it was (I think it was special's) to do it at new year for a 'Fresh start' although clearly Jin has got his mind set on not doing the mass unban so it's clearly not going to happen.

Richie and immense, this isn't the place for petty arguments, take it to the PM's so we can focus on what this thread is actually about please

I didn't ask anyone to move. Even when I owned it I still came on here. I advertised on here like I did on HFFM / CH / TryHabbo. If you look back at the time, when I was owner of HF I always maintained that Hx was my favourite fansite. However, you clearly don't want me unbanned. That is your opinion, I'm sure others are with you. I will wait for Jin's response and if he agrees then I'll still hope the fansite recovers and continues to do well. Even today, whilst I'm saying this I have created more threads than any user, got more rep over the last few days than any user, made more posts than any user and posted three or four feedback threads over the last few days. That is quickly forgotten though.

And yeah fair play The Don there are much more users than me that can be unbanned and make a difference. Hopefully, they're given the chance

A mass unban would pump some more life into habbox, and who doesn't think it would be great to see some old faces back around the forum?

The thing is, most of them already have a second account so I don't see the point.

[Nixt]

his sig lmao and he has already said like others they will be using that site more than this. i wasn't going to join the crowd because habbox is MY SOUL but

Just for the record I edited his signature to that when I reset his password for the lulz. I am sure Ryan will continue to use both sites because it is likely he finds one can quite easily use both, as I do. The point being that fansite rivalry is pointless and HxF and CHF offer different experiences, both of which are enjoyable despite being very different. The whole "I'm moving to CHF" thing is silly, because for a lot of us - including myself, Habbox has and always will be the first fansite to capture our hearts, as it were. But people have become disillusioned in regard to some events at Habbox and have chosen to open up their options rather than stick with just one site. Which leads me onto my next point...

Arguably, yes. As I have said above a lot of people are becoming increasingly confused about the way certain things are handled at Habbox. So a mass unban would certainly prove that Habbox and its Management are willing to embrace change and start that change with a bang. It would impact positively in some aspects, but I am also doubtful because I do think it would seriously devalue what has developed into a strong and effective system of moderation of which the repercussions in failing to adhere to it are clear. At the same time as increasing activity it could give rise to mass rule breaking and ultimately the undermining of everything HxF stands for - a more professional and mature experience for members who want to engage in discussion not atypical to the traditional Habbo Fansite forum.

That is why I am split on the matter, and that is why I suggested a compromise in unbanning people who were banned under a regime where the rules were a lot harsher and permanent bans were given out rashly and on the basis of what tended to be rather innocuous behaviour.

[Richie]

I'm not really too fussed about a mass unban, but can you give me a heads up? just so I can act the ********, get 'perm banned' then get unbanned. You get my point?

If there's going to be a mass unban can you also not call it a perm ban, a perm ban would be a ban that never gets lifted, which as I said defeats the purpose of calling it a perm ban. We might aswell call it 'a perm ban but HEY we'll unban you soon' that's not a perm ban? that's a long extended ban.


Sigh.

[Jin]

The unbanned accounts could be merged if anyone has made another account. Although like you said; it isn't your duty to act as a nanny to the members, I'm sure it is of your best interest to keep Habbox active and full of life. A mass unban of accounts would help do just that.

The whole point of a ban is so the user can't access the site, right? If so, shouldn't the user be banned on all accounts or get their banned account unbanned and merged into their current accounts? Kinda defeats the object of a ban imo.

The point of the perm ban isn't to keep people away from the site, it is so they realised they really messed up, as a result of the perm ban they lose their stats in form of rep, post count, subscriptions and status (in terms of how well known they are as they have lost their username also).

By merging the accounts it would completely defeat this purpose.

If someone gets permed they can create a new account, if they start messing around on that then that account get permed.

If it reaches a point where it is the evident the person has no intention of keeping to the rules they will just be permed and put on the auto-ban list where the objective is to keep them away. I certainly don't fancy seeing some of the old faces back on this forum if they were stupid enough to get perm banned then I don't see why we should let them back on, then again there are those cases where people get banned for things that were dealt with more harshly back then. Such as reopened a thread that has been closed by a mod.
