Users posts

[Richie]

Hey,
I love habboxforum but one thing i don't agree with is when a user leaves they should be entitled to have the option of making their account 'anonymous'. I have posted things over the years that may portray a racist or vile image of myself. We all make mistakes and say stupid things, should something i have done as a teenager haunt me as an adult? Obviously if i was to become biebers partner in crime, stuff like this would haunt me and could even damage my future career. I understand entirely why you can't just remove posts, it would be like removing a chapter from a book, you would get lost half way through the book. However is it not possible to even allow people to disable their account somewhat like facebook but instead of removing everything just put all the disabled accounts under the name anonymous and if people choose to come back they can enable their account (it should take some time to get their account restored fully like a month to stop messers) by logging in and selecting 'enable account'. I'm sure there is a plugin out there that allows this but it just involves some digging out.

I sound like a right muppet and the chances are I personally won't become famous but what if others do and something like this bites them in the bum when it really doesn't have to. The majority of the stuff I post here I regret for that reason and that reason only and if i had the option to make my posts anonymous it would put my mind at ease encase i wish to do it in the future.

I'm sure half the people on the forum haven't really thought about it 'cause they weren't an arse to people like the other half of the forum but even small things like embarrassing posts you made about health that you don't want people to be able to search through search engines, they may find it but it'd be under the account anonymous so they wouldn't know it's you.

I understand in habboxforums terms and conditions it basically says anything we post becomes your content, which is fair enough but does it really have to be a battle to get something like this implemented. If we want to get technical about terms and conditions i didn't ask for my parents consent to agree to the terms and conditions so i was just a minor at the time and realistically by law, need my parents consent to agree to any terms and conditions.

god i could not agree with this more

I hate how we have so little control over what we post. How you only have 15 minutes to edit it and then also how how you can't remove messages from your own profile which others have posted. But yeh I'm always conscious about posting rl stuff just incase so I agree.

It'd be ridiculous if you could edit your posts over 15 minutes after they've been made. It's your decision to post it so be careful when choosing which content you post. If you could edit any post of yours whenever you wanted to, most threads wouldn't make sense and it'd look messy with loads of false quotations etc.

Yea I agree that it would be messy and I don't think you should be allowed to edit it but there could be a preset message or something that you could change it too. I remember before I wanted something deleted of my profile and when I asked for it to be removed, I was told mods couldn't delete it. The only thing you can do is ask the person who wrote it to take it down but its your profile and I think you should have more control over that.

Oh, with VM's I 100% agree with you It's stupid how you can't delete another users VM that's on your profile.

agree with this idea because it could ruin future plans, and everyone deserves the chance to change
