Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

To be honest, It's the children's fault. They obviously knew it was for teenagers, yet they went. What I found funny was that channel four went into the 18+ rooms ect instead of the public rooms. But who knows?

Every room should be suitable for children aged 13 onwards

Im not saying anything will speed up the process but drawing on someones face is something i done when i was like 11.

I've noticed.

Sigh.. and some people might say playing on habbo is something they did (not done) when they were 11....

Kids don't read the rules when signing up to games. They see pretty colours and a big "PLAY NOW" button.

But the rooms aren't really 18+ because you don't get stopped if you are under the age.

Worst CEO ever? What has he done wrong? Without Paul, the communication wouldn't have been good and not as many updates or anything would have been posted and it would all still be a mystery. He is not in charge of Habbo, he can only do certain things.

I wouldn't say Paul was a bad CEO. He took the choice to make his company more open to the community by interacting with them. If this news piece had happened years ago none of us woulda known who the CEO even was and it'd all be blamed on the "Hotel Manager" instead. The downside of interacting openly is that it makes you open for criticism but I applaud him for making himself known. What he does and changes though is up for debate though (lol, Habbo council, CMs etc) but I just think he hasn't got many supporters at the moment and don't think it's very fair to say it's his fault when these dating rooms have been around for a long time and definitely before he arrived.

@PaulLaFo Could you not implement an age limit on rooms when creating a room, linking with the d.o.b people put down when they signed up?

@jonathanlunness Jonathan I just shared your idea on our internal social network for Staff to look at. Thanks so much!

Looks like that'll soon be changed!

Without him there would be a different CEO, obviously. And probably a better one at that.

@PaulLaFo @thoughtqw I think he means as in when you join habbo, before you are able to play, you play through a game, which explains rules.

@CheesyChedgzoy @thoughtqw I like this idea alot, and always have. Like @gamification. I urge Staff to include it in many ways. Good idea!

Not a bad idea.

Possibly or we could have had another Homer Simpson who does nothing all day. However, my point is that he isn't the worst CEO ever.
