the safety of habbo is hanging from questions like these..

[MissAlice]

it might be that, but it is not addressing the situation appropriately. considering the right answer was the first option.

Although the first option may be the right answer, the third answer could also be applicable. It could all be very innocent. It certainly makes you think.

the questions are based on a 3 choice answer with one of them being correct. the first one is the correct one, which is not dealing with things the way it should be. now if the question had said " a habbo you have met , older than you, and keeps sending you gifts as though they want to be closer to you, what do you do?"

something like that would have been more appropriate.

I agree, it is not written as we would expect.

But if someone was showering me with gifts, I would instantly be suspicious of their motives. But that's how I think

if someone showers you with gifts, you say thanks, you dont have to take it any further. it could be classed as grooming yes, but it is not addressing that.. the revised habbo way is poorly written, for 5 year olds.

..actually it kinda happened recently, some random guy gave me 50c, then after accepting tried to give me more credits, i didn't accept anything after the 50c as i thought they might have been purchased illegally, which might result in me being banned.

anyway.. if someone was showering you with gifts on habbo, i doubt you'd think STOP GIVING ME GIFTS, I MUST REPORT YOU IMMEDIATELY.

If the first thing you read on a website was something about old people sending you gifts, would that not give the impression that said website was riddled with paedophiles? Sometimes it's not always that obvious and I think the quiz addresses that. If you were told not to accept gifts from those older than yourself, you might think it's fine if they claim to be your age.

Lol that's pretty strange.

paul has said that habbo users will be string up with real identities to refrain people posing as someone else.
also, yes, its been all over the news, that habbo is a "paedophile haven" so of course they should raise these matters. if gifts were such a problem the option to send them would not be there, a gift is a gift, but if the person is asking for something in return that should be a worry, why didnt they mention that? they could have said " a habbo has sent you a lot of gifts and is now asking to talk to you on skype" they didnt address anything properly and made the questions pathetic.

[Empired]

What will this questionnaire do anyway? Anyone who has been asking for "cam" knows that it is wrong, but does it anyway. Therefore they will not struggle to answer correctly in a questionnaire :S

[Jendro]

I don't actually think the questions and answers are that bad, as they involve some sort of humour and make you read all answers, in a way. Furthermore, now they can say they've warned you beforehand in a fairly effective manner, so I think this is a very nice step forward for Habbo.
The only thing that bothers me is the 'white list' which makes you able to say words on that list only... This still enables kids to say things like: "Wow, it's so big" (implying something Habbo wants to prevent), whereas "the pussycat walks around" will probably be a lot more difficult to say. I'd say no censorship at all, OR the return of Bobba (and the ability to turn the Bobba filter off )

Also, it is not solely Habbo's responsibility to 'bring' safety. Safety on the web is a stance you decide to take, and I think Habbo effectively tries to raise the awareness now.
