my sexual ban.

[Samantha]

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

Yeah but redtiz did say the mods only get a little chat window and they have to go off that.

I once got permed for saying selling accoutn regardless of it being a joke you will get banned. Appeal it, however, it looks like you have, but don't mass them with tickets? Be patient.

Luckiyl it was only a 30 day ban. Build a bridge, get over it.

I didn't read that post but I don't think that's fair. They should, if they're not sure, check the previous chat. Especially if it's a perm ban, maybe not so much a smaller ban.

[Marbian]

I'm not moaning at redtiz for doing her job, because she isn't even a moderator, so she hasn't banned me. And the Habbo way doesn't have, "don't joke, moderators have no sense of humour." - unless they do, then I'm extremely sorry. But good for habbo for banning kids on a kids game for having a joke.

[Aidenn]

The thing is though; maybe those moderators do have a sense of humour, but personally if i dont know someone, i don't know their sense of humour, this could be the case for the moderators, if they don't know you how can they know its a 'joke'?

[Chippiewill]

Habbo Moderators tend to take things out of context, I was permed once for an out of context quote where I was taking the piss out of password scammers (The whole say your pass nd stars come up thing) since I had just had to kick one from my room. If the line after had been read it would have been obvious I was joking but Moderators don't have time to look at things in context and even Ludus for some reason couldn't understand it was a joke (Then again his reply didn't even involve having looked at the logs and was something like 'Don't scam').

Don't joke, it's serious crime that can lead to your Habbo account being banned, if in doubt, don't joke.

[Redtiz]

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.

We don't ban people simply for swearing, there's a swear filter that you can use if you don't want to see swearwords, because we do recognise that teens swear. However webcam sex and nudes is not 'growing up, having fun' and we're really trying hard, along with other organisations, to banish that idea out of teenagers' heads. It is, in fact, really serious for you. If you're talking about distributing nude photos, once they've left your PC you never get them back and you have NO control over how many times they are duplicated and where they are distributed. In the case of sexual webcam sessions, it gets even worse.

Let me tell you a common scenario. Girl strips on webcam for her online boyfriend and he records and keeps it. At some point later in time they have a big bust-up and the lad decides to get revenge by fowarding it to a few mates, or even putting up a website about what a cow she is with that video on (and I've seen a few of those before now!) and spams the URL around. Now the number of people who see that video is multiplying and sooner or later it can wind up on any number of other sites where modern caching and face recognition ensures it can be found..even years later.

How is that fun? At some point later, a relative, a friend, a new boyfriend or god forbid a university admittance panel or prospective employer finds nudes or sex videos of you on the Net. Do you think you'll get that job? Or that university place? Or keep that new boyfriend? What about facing a relative who's seen you like that...think it'll change their opinion of you?

I can tell you for free I've rejected interviewees for jobs at Habbo before now purely on what I've discovered about them via a little Googling. MANY employers do it now.

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.

It's right there in the Habbo Way: "You may not give away, sell or trade your Habbo account or seek to sell virtual items from Habbo for cash."

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..

Look, there's the thing. Habbo gets thousands upon thousands of player reports a day the moderator's priority is dealing with the ones which could possibly endanger someone in real life. Your brother does something silly, he ignores the Habbo Way (and the Terms & Conditions) and starts saying he wants to sell thrones for cash - he gets reported by a player and banned. Now, it's technically possible for a moderator to go through all his past purchases and furni trades to see whether he is selling thrones, but this is a task that will take a good hour of their time. In an hour they could answer another 100 calls. Now realistically, why should a moderator spend an hour doing a deep investigation into someone's purchase and trade history on the basis that they've decided to have a joke? What about the 100 people who won't get their reports answered that hour...would that be fair to them? It's just not doable...

The simplest solution is really not to engage in silly jokes...and they are silly because they're being taken seriously by other players, reported to us and you're ending up getting banned for fooling around.

[Marbian]

Okay I get the point, I got a bit rushed, not thinking it's only a month anyway. But I do understand where you're coming from 100%, it's for habbo's users safety, and saying what we said wasn't really teen friendly either, but i guess some get a bit to carried away over a keyboard.

So a perm ban on a account that someone paid real money on just because they haven't got a hour to spend to check it right? Oh, just ban, i got loads more to do, perm them... they'll get over it. it works like that then does it? and even when reported as a ticket that they are hugely mistaken by this, but then still denie the appeal and say you're still banned.. and i'm not the type of guy to report a request like i have been in the last couple of weeks if i knew i was wrong, because as i said, the account didnt even have half a throne, mind one.. and you cant just tell me that's why you shouldn't joke about... what about the, "next time, dont joke about as this may happen again, you are unbanned, please be careful on what you say." or something... not a perm ban where we've spent real good money on for furniture, FROM HABBO, just because moderators can't take that little time to check, but instead perm the mstraight away. what about a, suspended, so then someone else can look further into it, but it was permed straght away, and wit ha request sent saying what i have said, which is totally true, and to not even be unbanned or ban shortened... it's like you want to get rid of users. Since this, I haven't paid for credits anymore, simply because I'm not risking getting banned over redioucilous reasons, and to know that you, reditz as just said why should moderators look 2 steps into someones report before permining them when they could get over 100 'these days auto replys' done!.

[Josh]

They need more mods if the current ones don't even have enough time to look into something.

It's in the Habbo way not to sell. Maybe he was joking, but why joke? It is clear it is against the T&C and will get you banned. Its idiotic to even joke about such things on there.

They need more mods if the current ones don't even have enough time to look into something.

An hour per call when they get thousands? Sulake might aswell close down now.
