Paul LaFontaine's Hotel Tour

Inexorably, who were you? I was Resn-SS and I asked him about the clone problem and the system being abused/call for help as well as loads of others, haha.

He seems to be really dedicated but I think the entire HabboCM system will flop...it will easily be manipulated and he seems to suggest that the only way it will be regulated is by Mods looking out for people abusing it. Unfortunately it is not that easy.

wazzervaldez on .de and .es. Intersocialism on .com.br > Although he hasn't showed up :S

Sounds ridiclous. If everyone can earn a place as a CM then it's ******* stupid................. it defeats the object.....

Why? I'm sure they would want as many people that want to help out rather than get people that only want it because it's exclusive.

Hmm, some interesting things coming up. I like the sound of the CM's, would love to go for that role! But it would be abused by some yes, I like the bit were it says cloning won't be allowed.

Why would you want a complete stranger, who may be 13 (and who should be equal to you), reading your calls for help?

This is what is very intriguing about this CM process. People will complain if only a few 100 can become a Habbo CM and will say that it is elitist. However, once the process becomes available for A LOT more people, users start complaining that nearly everyone will be a Habbo CM and thus render it useless. So it's going to be very hard for Sulake to find a balance.

Mathew, I agree with you 1000% about 13 year olds reading my CFHs and having access to chatlogs & I'm fairly sure that Sulake are trying to make sure that this point still stands; "Maybe avery very verysenior cm will have ban power but overseen by mods." - but they will most likely try to ensure it is an adult who potentially gets this position. However they haven't considered the issue of how many people lie about their age online.

Account age will probably have some impact on whether the person is "old enough" (in real) to become a potential "senior" Habbo CM. But yes, regular CMs could be 13 which is just a no-go for me.

To be honest, this is starting to sound more like guides to me than a programme similar to eXperts. Which I'm kinda glad about, I always wanted guides instead of eXperts + Hobbas returning.

After Paul explained it in more detail, it does sound a lot more appealing to me - but I dislike how every CM could see a chatlog potentially. If they don't need to ban (only a senior could influence/get permission to ban according to Paul) then they really don't need chatlogs.

We'll have to wait and hear more I guess

[Kyle]

The guide system is okay but I don't particularly want regular habbos reading my CFHs or chat logs.

[jasey]

I am not sure I like the idea of Habbo CMs but I will maybe go for it on Habbo France if things go well. I like that he is giving info.
