It has been made more lenient in recent years and 'mildly inappropriate content' and 'mild swearing' can be posted as long as it is in a spoiler with a warning. I really think that is sufficent.

To be fair, most mild swearing and mildly inappropriate content is unfiltered and allowed nowadays anyway (bar a few situations where paranoia seems to be the only reason). Not sure where to stand on this, the spolier and warnings are there for a reason and should do the job seeing as it takes away liability from Habbox and dumps it on the individual members, so that members gets the blame if mummy and daddy read or hear the language coming from the "spoilered" content. However, some videos do go a bit over the top with some profanities and seem to lack a point.

Really? I agreed with his comments here:

I found it a bit weird too, where you just said you agreed that Hecktix has been on the forum for 5 years and has experience... It was a weird thing to agree on

It's like me saying:

"My family love cakes. My love of cakes plus my family's love of cakes totals over 80 years of cake loving."

And you replying:

"I agree."

I got what you meant, but when you read it quickly it does come out weird

I'm pretty sure these "Younger Members" that you speak of are now classified as "Young Adults" unless you're referring to the people in the habbo section and inferring that it must be a global allowance on pre-warned swearing, you can always be slightly less lenient on the Habbo forums where you're more likely to have these more sensitive members. A whole load of people complained about those MJ jokes (Undoubtedly more than people complain about swearing), but apparently as soon as there was a warning it was fine, why not this?

That is as lenient as the rule is going to get and it's a lot more lenient than it used to be. We could tell you not to post swearing videos at all but I don't see how asking you to only post mild swearing with a simple warning is that unreasonable? I understand that there are older members on here who are fine with that stuff but you need to respect the fact that we have a lot of younger members too.

To clarify, is it still alright to post videos with a few swear words? For example, someone is doing a tutorial of a game and something jumps out and they scream the F word. I assume this is alright as it isn't taking away from the main point of the video which is a tutorial, and a warning to indicate it contains swear words should be enough. It's how I remember the rules about videos used to go. Big words like this were fine provided you gave a warning, and these words were only mentioned a few times (rather than most of the time )

Why do Management keep thinking that because it's "Better than it used to be" is a reason not to complain. That's like saying as long as hitler stopped killing the jews it's ok for him to imprison and torture them.

I understand that management have a position on this and they aren't going to back down now, but really saying you've improved a little bit isn't an excuse not to improve more.

Anything further would not be an improvement, it would be detrimental to this forum no matter what you think. You may be part of the older group on this forum but there are also a large number of 11-13 year olds.

Exactly that Gomme - that was the whole basis of the new rule. A few times okay but not virtually continual hardcore swearing and no C word. It must be contained in a spoiler too.

@ Chippiewill. That is the daftest example I think I have ever seen - not over the top much?
I do not think having hardcore swearing or anything but mild sexual content in a spoiler with a warning is an improvement. This is a teen fansite. I am sure you have access to other sites if you want.

I'm talking about Management's stance on pretty much everything, you keep using that "you're better than it used to be" to just slack off as it stands at the moment.

Yes Gomme, providing your post states the video swears then it's okay, the rules practiced use the word "excessive" and whilst what's excessive is at the moderators discretion a lot of the time I've found this to be quite fair and most moderators agree on what's excessive etc.

This is not true at all, we strive to improve Habbox and spend hours each day on plans/projects to improve this site. Another ill-founded comment from Chippiewill.
