Can we get one thing straight?

Habbox is still responsible to moderate the content.

But they're still not responsible for the content Moderating is to stop any malicious content that effects any rules or laws that are broken set up by the forum. It is pretty tedious if a moderator feels the need to add a spoiler or remove a whole post because of a video that isn't in spoilers. If the video, on face value, is fine and has a red warning then it's fine. Once a user hits the play button it's their fault, not Habbox, especially when the majority of the forum would have the sense to read a warning, or not care what they're watching.

Nobody removes a whole post unless it is totally unsuitable and it is part of our job, whether you find it tedious or not, to put it in spoilers if it is mildly inappropriate. It might be fine by you but then you are not part of the management team here at Habbox and we answer to them.

Perhaps you could persuade them that tedium is a time waster and should be avoided? As I said, I don't feel that a spoiler is completely necessary if the video on face value isn't rude (preview image/name). If the video has strong language in the video and has a warning, then it should be fine as red writing sticks out like a sore thumb. It's better than wasting a moderator's time afterall, might make them more sociable too

Well we have to follow the 'Fansite Way'

*Publish any material which may be offensive to other users or contains sexual content

which is another consideration. I really do think this is a 'mountain - molehill' issue though

as it takes a couple of seconds to put something in a spoiler

How the heck you think that putting a video or as another example answers from a Habbo quest in a spoiler signals that mods are not sociable is beyond me. I feel we have just fallen into 'nit picking mode' in this thread tbh.

In regards to the original post,

Even though it is suitable for 12 year olds and HxF is targeted at teens that age not all those teens or their parents want to hear these swearwords. Therefore, putting the video in a spoiler will help the people viewing the film know what to expect beforehand.

"Publish any material which may be offensive to other users or contains sexual content"

It doesn't say anything about censorship or spoilers, it's implied... Surely if a member just posts a warning then the video is fine (provided the video has a sensible name and no preview image)? Again, it means moderators can waste ther time doing other things as the video is clearly censored and has a warning. Once you click play the responsibility is put into the hand of the person who has clicked the play button, as the warning removes any doubt. The spoiler seems a bit pointless to uphold and is bureaucratic nit-picking at its finest.

Also, it was an expression and an example :rolleyes:

Well you are entitled to your opinion, I guess but I will agree to disagree with you on this and I think Jay makes a good point.

Not really, unless you can infer swearing from videos without watching them now If you do you have a magical gift

I'm still surprised you think there has to be a spoiler, it seems a waste of time to warn a member or spoiler a post if the video is completely harmless on face value (name and preview), but I guess it's your time to waste.

We have to watch the videos. Again it is part of the moderating role and I am quite happy that it wastes no time but if management wish to make a different decision on them that is fine too. I think spoilers are fine and spoilers are not put on videos that do not contain 'mildly inappropriate content'. Members aren't warned about spoilers. If they forget mods put them on and they are just sent a pm informing them of that. Only time further action maybe considered is if they ignore several pms and they would be given plenty of notice of that.
