Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

[Special]

I'm glad channel 4 has provoked Sulake and brought this to their attention (so they can sort out decent mods soon), but i think it's VERY unlikely the hotel will shut.

are you joking? this is possibly the worst thing that could have happened to Habbo

Yeah, the badges that were given got took back as soon as it ended. Same with me, the lack of communication put me off too.

Not to mention how overly-controlling some others were.

Exposing paedos isn't a good thing? are YOU joking? Despite the bad media, they probably won't shut down, and will have to sort out proper moderation.

I fail to see how dozens of major national and international news stations calling Habbo a 'pedophile haven' is a good thing, not to mention the 3 major high-street stores removing Habbo gift card (and counting) & major companies withdrawing their shares in the company

It should be in Sulakes intention, as a million pound business (with a quarter of a billion registered users), to ALREADY have flawless moderation - it shouldn't take Channel 4, The Mail, The Guardian, Telegraph etc etc to get Sulakes ass into gear

Do not forget that the European Commission is now involved, if Habbo doesn't sort itself out it could be closed down or severely hampered.

Of course in an ideal world it would already be flawless, but it's not. And nothing was ever going to happen unless something like this news report was published. It's obviously going to give it a bad reputation and put a huge dent in the profits for now, but they weren't just going to miraculously improve things just out of the goodness of their own hearts (as much as they should have done, of course).

I think they'll probably ditch the whole idea?

This Paul guys seems to know **** all about Habbo, he should take his information from the users who have played Habbo for a long time.. like most people on this forum. If he blocked you @J-Raviv; it shows how unprofessional the guy really is.
