Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

[Abdicators]

Incredibly bias report. Habbo is very highly moderated, but I don't feel the outsourced moderators are the best way to go about it. I feel that Hobbas should be re-introduced to Habbo in the same fashion that they were allowed to exist on habbo.com as oppose to how they existed on other hotels.

Don't be silly, Habbo's barely moderated at all? I could do what ever i wanted for ages unless i said a certain word e.g cam. Something that would trigger the mute / ban function, At some points it actually looks un-moderated, they rely on so many functions, yet kids arn't idiots, they know they can get around this. E.g msn was a filtered word, they say c2c, things to avoid the filter.

Yeah my mum saw the report and she was concerned about my 13 year old sister because my sister has special needs so doesn't really understand and yeah I've just discovered my mum thought habbo was just a dress up game LOL

You can only moderate so much. It's absurd to think a site that has to moderate over 700 million lines of chat will pick up everything, in cases where peadophiles have been spotted they have been jailed. The fact you can say "c2c" and not be banned straight away does not indicate bad moderation. You like everyone else has the option to report this sort of chat to moderation, you also have the option to not participate in it like other users do.

Habbo is not at all "very highly moderated", you may get a quick response to your call for help but 95% of the time, the response is completely unrelated/unhelpful/utterly pointless!

Are you a moron? Thats what the whole situation is about now, people who are a lot older taking advantage of 10year old girls. Yeh they have brains, they can do what they want, but would you really want some 20+ guy asking your 10 year old daughter what size her boobs are?

Channel 4 have removed my comments from there page and have banned me for sticking up for Habbo, Many people i know have also been banned from ever commenting on that facebook page again..

Parents should be moderating their own children at that age. It's the fault of the parent letting a child of that age onto a site where users are not visible, and can openly chat to other users. Habbo has an age restriction for a reason, and whilst even I agree 13 is incredibly young, a parent should still moderate the childs behaviour at that age. The child should know that type of chat is inappropriate and tell their parents.

Please don't begin to insult other users intelligence or persona's because you disagree with them. I've been nothing but polite to you.

[GoldenMerc]

Yes your correct, parents should be moderating their kids at 13 to lets say 15-16, but the difference is. Their every move are you serious? I mean say if im sitting 7-8ft away from the computer watching tv for example watching over my child, i can't see the writing off someone saying hey have you got skype so we can cam. I can't see that, unfortuantly its not in the biggest size.

No your insulting my intelligence though, hardly polite but just get a wiff you may be inclined or work for Sulake from the points you make are so very silly.

What I don't get is channel 4 going on about how children are exposed to too much sexual stuff.

Yet straight after the news they put embarrassing bodies on with all parts shown at 8pm before the watershed?
