my sexual ban.

[Redtiz]

A 30-day ban is the standard ban for anyone offering or requesting naked photos or 'dirty webcam' action. It's a ban to protect you because getting your kit off on webcam is an extremely dangerous passtime and one that can come back to bite you in the backside in years to come when Mr Bloggs, doing a routine Google on this job applicant Miss-X, comes across a load of raunchy photos and decides that Miss-X is perhaps a little too trashy for his organisation to employ.

Saying things which you know will get you banned for a joke comes with a harsh penalty i.e. getting banned. Moderators cannot see inside your mind to know whether you are joking or not, they have to act on what is front of them in a chat log and if that was the chat log...well it looks like you were asking for naked cam sessions.

Seriously, please don't do such jokes as it really wastes everyone's time - yours, because you can't play again for 30 days and Habbo's for having to deal with the call and then, no doubt, having to deal with your ban appeal when you explain that you were just joking

I clearly quoted in my appeal that I was joking, and that these 2 people, very close friends, were also joking. It was to get us muted. Them 2 done it, so I thought I willl do it... I do it, and I don't get a mute, i get a 30 day ban and they don't. I have no thought to even show my face on a cam, to anyone, mind my sexual hardware [rofl]. But instead, they reply with just the line of what we said, not the other bits, which if they read clearly it would of been to anyone as a joke.

Also, saying it's for protection... The funny bit is, I can go on my other accounts that are attached to my ID, and if my ID was banned, I could of easily make another one. So I don't see no protection, if I can could just come back on. Maybe that's something Sulake could look into.

Doesn't matter if you're joking or not, the point is - Dont do it and you won't get banned.

[OhLiam]

I actually agree with you, not about unfair ban but the part you said "saying it's for protection... The funny bit is, I can go on my other accounts" they should really think about computer bans/ip bans which actually work.

Funny that you appealed tho, why would anyone write that just to get muted? next time let your friends do it and you just pretend :-p

Re the bit in bold - most people appealing bans say they were joking, didn't mean it, were told to say it by someone else etc etc. I'm afraid that simply saying it was a joke doesn't change what the moderator sees in a chat log and what they have to act on. As I've said, when someone sends a report it captures a short window of chat - if there was some talk outside of that few minute window which indicated it was a joke, they won't see it.

As I said, you really should not joke about such things because they will be treated seriously if that is what the logs show. It's the same principle as people who get arrested for joking "I've got a bomb" when going through customs and then turn round to say "Only joking!" - it's not going to stop the police hauling them off for a full body cavity search.

Also, saying it's for protection... The funny bit is, I can go on my other accounts that are attached to my ID, and if my ID was banned, I could of easily make another one. So I don't see no protection, if I can could just come back on. Maybe that's something Sulake could look into.

The object is not to prevent you ever returning on any account, but to educate you about what is safe and what isn't. If you have a 30-day ban on your most used account it gives you plenty of time to reflect on what you said - in the case of webcam sex/nudes offers it gives 30 days to think about what that sort of activity is dangerous....and we also have lots of information on why it is dangerous on the webpages which we'd hope they'd read whilst banned.

A month to learn a lesson... Who ever made that idea in the offices must be strict parents. It's Habbo, with loads of teens. Teen = growing up, having fun. You're basically saying, one word out of line, you're banned. Because that what it just was, because I've never swore, and I don't even swear, mind what's gone on here.

My brother was permed for saying, "selling throne for real money" but in the room, it was seen as a joke as a way to say stuff like, "selling ducks for thrones". He doesn't even have half of a throne, full stop. But he has spent a good amount of his pocket money into what he did have, and he gets a perm ban for something which was seen in the wrong way from moderators? and he told me that he never even know you could sell habbo items for real money, and he's never been warned, banned, or anything before... but gets a ban over something like that. His also sent in loads of help tickets expliaining.. he didnt even have a throne, his never had a throne. and i dont think it's hard for habbo to look if his account has had a throne, and if he hasnt got a throne, then he obviously was joking.. but yet, he's still permed until 2021. what kind of lesson is that? not even a warning so he knows it's against the habbo way.. but a ban like that instead, even though his 13, and spent his pocket money INTO that account. [seakinggrind] and look into it if you think i'm talking crap.

and to be honest, we know you won't reply saying fair point, we'll see into this and take your suggestions etc, but instead you'll give a reason for everything, just like the bible. not trying to be rude, but i do give good points here... and i get replied with the same old.

The fact is one of your 'good mates' you were with, reported you. Why not go and eat them alive, then moan at Redtiz for doing her JOB. One month to learn a fairly serious lesson is not harsh - and offering to go on cam or whatever it was, is slightly worse than avoiding the swear filter (old habbo).

At the end of the day, you agree to the habbo way etc - so it is only your fault if you then break it - jokingly or not. I was perm banned once, when someone came in to a room flooding about a scam site. So I said 'HAHA YEAH LET'S ALL GO TO THAT WEBSITE.... next line: I am joking guys, seriously, don't be stupid' - at the end of the day, joking or not I should have said the first line. I did then get unbanned - as I told ludus to check the chat logs. He then said 'last warning' - I then got permed again for a similar thing but my 'last warning' was really the last warning ><

[Conservative,]

I agree with the ban in this case considering that it's extremely hard for moderators to distinguish what's actually banter and what isn't however I do disagree with the length of the ban, a month is a bit harsh.

They should've read the conversation leading up to it, which probably had something like "hey, lets get muted for fun" "ok lolz what shall we say" "idk..." "u flash on cam to me" "ok so u can see my ****" which shows that it was banter. Whereas "Hey there sxc " "hey" "asl" "16/m/fgsdjgs" "u flash on cam to me" "ok so u can see my ****" is clearly not banter

EXAMPLE BTW PPL xox
