Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

It was when Habbo staff lied to protect their own back when the answer to the Easter Egg Hunt competition was wrong. Someone won a Dino Egg but shouldn't have as they used another hotel to find out the answer - Habbo told us to count the other eggs whereas the other hotels didn't then deliberately deleted the article to pose as though we were in the wrong. They then went on to say that 'there are cheaters amongst us' and accused those who got the right answer 1024 (by counting every kind of egg) of cheating by going on the other hotels whereas it was those who got the answer of 839 or something who cheated. All in all someone got a free Dino Egg for cheating and everyone else who worked hard to get the answer got a badge. Yawn.

Habbo needs to get themselves sorted.

Ooooh, I remember something about that now! Not a good move on their part, by the looks of it!

I really am starting to think this may even spread to Sky news next

[MKR&*42]

It's all over the news actually.

I had a look on a few major ones but couldn't see anything really - I may of missed it though. Although I did notice that the Daily Mail put up an article:

Thanks both of you x + I didn't realise it was that "big" an issue in America right now^^ aha. Jus' gonna stay up all night nd see how it pans out internationally ;]

What a pathetic organisation. This was bound to happen sooner or later though, it doesn't help that Habbo blatantly don't care or have very few precautions to stop pedos. Though I'm sure this can happen.... on any online game. It's just that Habbo exploit teen flirting for profit, that's where it starts to differ from other games.

If it carries on though investors are likely to get scared and withdraw, no doubt in my mind. I'm not actually that bothered if it does close tbh

[Zelda]

Habbo should close now tbh, before it gets any worse. All they have ever done recently is make everything progressively worse and got themselves into the most sticky situations, no wonder me and tons of other people ended up practically moving to rs >:

The report is very one sided, there are the noobs and the normal people :S

Habbo Hotel's automated moderation system has advanced over years, yet I find it funny that Rebecca Newton (ex-staff) slagged Habbo off in the interview, yet in an interview in 2010 she said that Habbo was safe and that you have to think about members and that the moderation system is huge and easy.

But they said, she got approached every time she logged on.. I mean i've been playing Habbo since 02' yeh i haven't pretended to be a girl but i've never seen so much "lets get it on" and stuff, yeh you see the odd lot of noobs playing in bed but what they were saying never seen that at all!

They most likely posed as a Bacon, and went into those dating rooms, thats were all the creepers are at, and that's why those rooms are down... but if your in a random room, you most likely wouldn't get approached, because yeah.. lol, so whatev
