Habbo removing...

[lTraditional]

Just report that image to Habbo, see what they say (she might get fired!) But dought anything will happen LOL.

nowhere in this world is that world considered ok, infact there has been many movements to stop the use of the word and the "that's so gay." The fact is they are grown people, in charge of a huge website with many users, and your going to talk like that? That's unacceptable. They need to hire mature people. Even if it isn't offensive to them, it's still considered "name calling" which is unacceptable on the site itself.

I am certain '******' is not as offensive as it is in England in many countries.

Its not fair they call members of the Habbo community this, they wouldn't like it if we called them that. So they shouldn't do it to us, it was irresponsible of them and i dont think they will do it again.

Of course, but we still do it.

The 7/7 bombers ******ed the train service.

Of course, but is it considered rude in singapore? I don't know

I'm not sure, but even if it isn't considered rude it still wouldn't be acceptable. Just because the moderators maybe Singaporean themselves, they're moderating a game that serves many different cultures therefore need to make sure that whatever they say isn't offensive in anyone of them

Not sure we will get very far then haha

That's probably why they're so distant from the users, although obviously they would say it's because of the high work load or to ensure high levels professionalism etc lol

Well, if they're protesting over something like that then it's pretty silly imo :/
There's always other alternatives and it's signaling out people who are that way.. -.-

If I may just interject with a few facts....

1. Habbo does NOT close rooms simply for being called bi/lez/gay chat. Rooms are only renamed and closed if what is going on in those rooms is inappropriate and in those cases it doesn't matter whether the room is named 'bi/gay/lez chat' or 'I like fluffy bunny rabbits'

2. Habbo doesn't ban avatars for being black. A bit of common sense employed on that one would tell you that if Habbo were racist....then why would it bother having any skin colour options other than white for avatars? This is a truly laughable rumour that crops up every now and again and is perpetuated by the people raiding, aided and abetted by people who are gullible enough to fall for it. Habbo bans the 4chan/anonymous raiders who kick up in places like the Lido because they create accounts specifically to disrupt by spamming abuse and forming swastikas etc. Now if you happen to rock up to one of those raids and decide it may be a laugh to dress exactly like them and mimic them by also spamming abuse, blocking etc then there's a high likelihood that you'll also be banned and if you do, then I'm afraid to say that it'll be your own fault and you'll only have succeeded in giving the 4chan/anonymous people a good laugh about what a noob you were. After all, the raiders don't give a damn if their newly created, furni-free accounts are banned.....but you care if yours is.

3. Moderators should never call anyone a r****d, but all I'm seeing on the thread so far is claims regarding a moderator name which doesn't actually exist as a staff account. If someone would like me to PM the moderator name that is claimed to have said 'r****ds' I'm more than happy to investigate and take action IF it is actually true.

4. Protests are good when they are for something worthwhile that impacts negatively on society. Protests on a game based on groundless rumours are a complete waste of everyone's time and energy and look a little bit silly.

Why do you promote these rooms then? Having an entire floor (category) on dating: ...is surely just going to encourage this behaviour isn't it? It's sort of like entrapment.

Entrapment? Only if you equate online dating with getting your kit off on a webcam.

There's a big difference between dating/flirting and extremely explicit sexual talk or cam/phone sex sessions. Habbo is mostly the 13-17 age range and obviously at that age range many of you date. I expect many of your parents allow you to date but wouldn't be too happy if you sat in the living room having phone sex whilst they were trying to watch Corrie. Would you then say that your parents allowing you to date was 'entrapment'?

It's simply about behaving appropriately in public. A virtual chat room is no different to being in a cafe or other real life room with a group of people. Would you sit and describe having sex in a graphic way in the middle of Starbucks with your girlfriend? If the answer is 'no', then why would someone think it's any more appropriate to do in a public chat area?

All Habbo asks is that people don't engage in graphic sexual talk or try and initiate real-life sex. It's not a really big ask is it?

I am really impressed with your replies to this thread Redtiz. Thanks for proving all this black nonsense wrong - you seem like an intelligent staff member.
