Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

[Red]

I like how they say that The Great Unmute is for Habbos to share how they really feel about Habbo, yet they are selective over which posts they display, i.e. posting only those that say Habbo is great, but if they dig at C4 then woo...

lol @red, what did you write kirst? i'm not even going to bother writing one. i'd state i'm still a fan of habbo, but I don't like how it's managed, probs as my opening sentence, so it wouldn't get approved most likely lol.

I think its fine to be selective as long as they put in the ones with negative comments which they seem to be doing?

Well I've posted my views. Well, as many as I could fit. Bit silly having a character limit but I guess it's so they don't end up with heaps to read. I think the reason they're checking the comments before they are posted is more towards ensuring there's nothing said in them that shouldn't, ie, explicit material. They're posting many negative comments (some of which really don't make them look good) so I don't think they're being selective over what we see. I don't think they're looking for any more ideas from us though if I'm honest. I think they've already prepared most of what they want to implement, I think this is more something to show off to the media (although as I predicted yesterday it's kinda back fired, and there's no way they could have blocked negative comments as that would make them look even worse, seeing as we're supposed to be expressing ourselves) and something to keep us busy for a day (give us some hype and something to do) whilst they work on the new systems. It means that this week hasn't felt totally empty of Habbo for us, even though in reality it is. Hopefully C4 will use some of the positive comments this time, as well as the negative, although I doubt it; that wouldn't make a good enough story. Oh well.

Here's hoping they actually start to unmute the hotel next week (as Paul has said, although he's hardly reliable anymore, after the comments we had over the weekend) starting with the client (come on, it's the most important aspect) and we can see these changes in action.

@Pipette / @Samanfa ?

Can't even see mine on list, wow.

[xxMATTGxx]

I don't believe mine was approved either, it didn't have any troll comments, bad words or anything negative. Just mentioned a way on how they could improve the moderation system.

[PiippBB]

Mine isn't up either and I posted nothing negative at all (though only because I'd already been here and heard about the checks on the comments lol). Guess it wasn't a way for us to express ourselves. Really didn't think they'd fluff this up; oh well.

Couldn't edit but I felt this was important information so I couldn't wait for someone else to post, sorry!

Paul LaFontaine ‏@PaulLaFo

@Herbal_habbo @BelieveMeSafety @5N_Beth @AstronomistUK I have 57 people advising me not to tell you it ends on Tuesday. shhh

Mute ends Tuesday! Now, in what context, and exactly what features, is anyone's guess. I'll be keeping a close eye on Paul's tweets and if he does happen to explain this further I'll be sure to post it here. Could be the client, could just be IM, could be it starts to end on Tuesday, could be they're starting it tomorrow and expecting the last features to be unmuted on Tuesday; who knows! But at least we have some kind of confirmation of some kind of date now; no more 'soon!'

And again:

Paul LaFontaine ‏@PaulLaFo

@qwkhabbo We intro hotels to communications tools early next week

[Mathew]

ughhhh why does he always do the "OMG I LEAKED!! OMG!!" thing?!
@Intersocial; get this stuff up on Habbox man!! ;l!

[PiippBB]

Paul's opened up his Twitter for users to post items they wish to be discussed in tomorrow's staff meeting. Have to say, some of these suggestions are just ridiculous. Hobbas, the return of the hand? Hobbas were a flawed moderation system; and the hand? I think I'll keep my nice shiny inventory so that I don't need to scroll through hundreds of pages just to find the one piece of furni I want to trade. Honestly, some of these people need to stop living in the past and realise we've moved forward; moreso they need to accept that the new systems are actually better. We all like nostalgia, but that's exactly what it is, nostalgia.

Wow, natural selection missed out a lot of people if those comments are anything to go by :S This is just an ego trip for Paul LaFontaine. Is he still CEO? Habbo could solve so many of their problems if they got rid of that egotistical moron.

Also, why is it part of a Great Unmute campaign? They are acting as if Habbo have no control over the mute button, and that someone else initiated the mute :/
