    Habbo need to be very very careful tho because at this time with all this stuff in the news there will be a lot of people making accounts to see what is going on and if they do see anything that could be another news story and that means more chance of habbo getting shut down, they would make it seem like habbo have done nothing to stop the kind of stuff that was talked about in the news

    Agree porn sites aren't the best example the guy gave. But I bet there are many young sites out there aimed at teenagers and so on that have adult related content, adult related chat etc.

    Default Unmute Soon

    Very soon I reckon, not only is there this article

    Habbo Hotel prepares to let users chat again

    Habbo users have held silent vigils in the game as a gesture of support


    All chat on Habbo was stopped following media reports that paedophiles were using the site to groom youngsters.

    Habbo owner Sulake said it was preparing for the "Great Unmute" which would let users share their positive experiences of the virtual hotel.

    Sulake boss Paul Lafontaine said media coverage was "distracting" it from securing the site.

    Habbo Hotel is a social network in which members get to control an avatar and a room that they can then customise to their taste.

    In a statement, Mr Lafontaine said the muting of chat on the site had led many of its millions of users to stage silent vigils in Habbo Hotel rooms to express their support.

    The Great Unmute would let these loyal users tell Sulake which direction they wanted to see the site take and help shape the forthcoming protection systems, he said.

    He added that the Channel Four investigation that led to Habbo falling silent had served as a "wake-up call" for Sulake and the industry as a whole.

    "We fully intend to actively participate in finding a regulatory solution that will protect our users and ensure the long-term reputation and future of the social gaming community," he said.

    Towards the end of the statement, Mr Lafontaine criticised journalists who were contacting Habbo users offering cash for stories about their poor experiences on the site.

    "Petty attempts to generate more bad news are distracting us from the job at hand," he said.


    But when I entered the hotel it came up with that "Conversations will be monitored etc..."

    Thoughts?

    (I'm not completely sure if this should be posted here, move it if not)

    Probably with stronger filters and better moderation.
