Unfortunately moderation with forums and MMORPGs subjective and it depends on how that particular moderator interprets the situation. Moderating things like tinypic is very easy to do as there is a clear guideline of what isn't allowed.

Yeah it is a bit ridiculous that you have been fine for 5 years and that they went for a perm ban but that could be down to system limitations to be honest. Such as HK may not have the ability to inform you that you must change your name therefore it requires you to email in.

The other issue is to save costs some of the moderators are Singaporean (according to Firefox Dictionary that's a word) this was certainly the case pre-merge as they could save having to pay night rates. This in turn may bring about some language issues as despite that a moderator requirement is to be fluent in english, there are some colloquial or local slang, that you can near enough get away with at certain times of the day. For a UK,US,CA Mod butt probably wouldn't be considered offensive but to a SG mod they may think of it as being unacceptable like the name for a disgusting snack .

I figure you have come to terms with the ban by now but just thought I would express the alternate reason just food for thought.

Good luck with the name hunt.

why so rude.

Jin has summed up what I wanted to say really.. with these crap mods who probably can't speak English it's in jeopardy. Best of luck.

Habbo are giving you the option to keep your account, don't say no, they may just ban you again.

In fact, people from Singapore speak English as well as you or me - English is the Mother tongue of Singapore and all their education is in English from the first day of school. Not only is their first language English, it's also British English rather than American English.

In regards to the ban; well the moderators have to use an element of personal judgment when it comes to inappropriate usernames and they're told not to allow anything which is personally abusive to another, includes racist terms, is overtly sexual or is generally offensive. With a name like 'buttcrunch' it's really borderline (as the opinions on this thread show) and some would judge it to be inappropriate, whilst others may give it the benefit of the doubt. If I were given such a name to judge I'd probably give it the benefit of the doubt IF the player's general account history showed they were otherwise a polite player, but then I'm pretty lenient in moderation matters so the mod who did ban it was certainly not wrong to do so.

Anyway, I see the original poster has now had a name change to his choice and I'd have to say it's a much cooler name he's got now IMO.

I guess Habbo does have the final say in all this, they're staff and they do know what seems appropriate and what doesn't [sometimes.]
You can try and convince them to let you keep your name, however I think that they're going to win this one. Best of luck to you in trying to get your name back, it's really not that bad of a name but hey, it's habbo.

I see no problem with the actual banning, but if after the player has requested a namechange and they remain banned, it's incredibly harsh especially considering the player has spent money on credits
