Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

[MKR&*42]

If you had gone in Hotel Public Rooms, you would have seen the links to the channel 4 article and other articles being spammed everywhere. Every room I went in people kept saying they were pedos or w.e. I think they've muted us to stop people from linking to those articles and driving users away

Also, @Samanfa; Says you can speak if you play SnowStorm lmfao.

Yup, works

It's a bit crap that the only source of information is a Twitter account. I can't help but think that times were much better when the staff were an integrated part of the community, the homepage wasn't static for months on end and status alerts were posted via the client rather than sourced from some out of touch CEO on an external site.

Rubbish isn't it?! Been saying this ever since they started with the whole social networking malarky.

This is B.S. I can't even : Pickall my room. -.-

LOLOL, the national media are moaning about paedophiles, sex scandals and shareholders whilst you're more concerned about not being able to pickall your room. Cute!!

Haha, yeah my friend kept saying this is why they updated the Habbo Way a few days ago - cause Sulake predicted they'd get into **** .

Hahaha, it all seems a little too coincidental, don't you think?!

CEOs latest tweet: "Habbos, due to the challenging behavior of a few users we have decided to mute the site and will update you when we have more information."

Hmm, strange. Don't see why this lead to a Hotel wide mute?

Challenging behaviour of a "few" users. Ban them then. Dear me.

awkward moment when habbo hotel is trending on twitter..down with habbo ahaha.
it'll be interesting to see what happens, how ironic is it that suddenly theres more users on habbo then there usually is

Wow. This is awesome. So many kids raging over it.

What the hells all these protest rooms about? Are people deluded to think that the higher ups are going to listen?

So many questions, so little answers.

Considering they're teenagers on a game which has just hit the news, I think they're just messing around rather than having any formal intention of contacting higher management!

The pools finally closed...

This has just made my day aha, rep+

Maybe they should have stopped allowing teenagers to so freely partake in cyber sex on Habbo many months ago then this would never have been escalated..

The new adverts were based on "dating", which usually leads to cyber sex on Habbo and the featured room update which promoted those cyber sex rooms 24/7 were kept even after users complained about them.

They deserve everything they get for allowing this crap for so long!

ya'know
after habbo and wot not

i've only just realised that it wasn't just me that was muted (A)
