Spam Habbo...

[AgnesIO]

I did suggest spam forums for all main categories such as Habbo, Sports, Runescape etc. I think it would add a lot to the forum and make it quite unique.

Sport isn't used anymore anyway

Well it might be if there was a spam 'section'.

IMO the problem would be where people stop using the actual forums and start just using the spam ones - the current spam section used to always be the most popular.

I don't know why you would create threads in a spam section for room advertisement and furniture trades when there are sections for that already? I'm not a fan of a spam thread though for Habbo anyway

Because there are silly rules like this that completely kill posting, kill discussions and make the trading forum an absolute bore to browse. I'd be more inclined to post a quick note in spam, asking for an item, rather than posting an official thread in there. My trades are usually a spur of the moment thing too, so the chatty element of spam would cater for this.

A Habbo spam section would barely be used imo, or it would be a new member place.

Not being ude, but whenever someone posts a 'LOL SO FUNNY' thread or something about Habbo it really isn't funny. Ever.

Very much like the UK, Habbox has an ageing population and there's probably more people who are 16+ than ever before. If I was a new member, I'd be more inclined to post quick notes in a spam section specifically for Habbo than commit myself to a thread; partly out of fear of it being against the rules or "pointless posting"....

Exactly. Habbox should be taking advantage of the different cliques which have popped up around the forum and I think it would be quite a nice addition.

Urgh, please no more forums, especially duplicates. Just move it to Habbo In General as it clearly fits under that: "Habbo In General: Talk about anything related to Habbo, including questions." People in Spam hate Habbo related threads in the Spam forum.

Besides, if the thread really is that useless that not many people will discuss the signature - then surely it will just rot in the Habbo In General forum anyway? It wouldn't make much difference, except the Habbo stuff is kept in the Habbo area - better that than a Habbo Spam forum :rolleyes:

I do think it would. It would attract more to the forum and I am sure that technology and runescape would like it too. There would be one thread where they could chat regardless of the content and I still think the main sections would be used. Maybe it could be trialled in one or two forums for say a month to see if it works.

Yeah but those sections are very formal kind of sections. A nice easier spam section which people do/would check often would get quick replies and be a laid back section for habbo-related spam. Yes my post was obviously spam and because I was bored but it was still habbo related and I don't like to post habbo stuff in the spam section because they hate it!

I think it would be used, actually

Or you could make away with formalities which put people off of Habbox and just have the one Spam forum, and just have simple things like this posted in Habbo In General or their respectful forums regardless of strict obeying of the content. The assumption that anything with a mild bit of humour and point is deemed unfit and pointless makes the mind boggle.

Why does Habbox need at least 5 Spam forums? It's attempting to solve a problem that shouldn't exist, and do we really want the forum index to look God awful again?

A spam section for Habbo specifically would be cool, just so people can post pointless things like "omg I need a HC sofa quick!!" People would use it for quick room advertising, or just to have a quick moan about something which had happened. I'd view and use it as it would be a lot more flexible and free than the current sections.

You'd get moaned at if you posted Habbo related things in Spam.
You'd get moaned at by moderators if you posted it in Habbo in General... you just can't win!

A spam section for Habbo would be the worst idea ever implemented on this forum and would eventually fail...
