''Go to forums'' link gone from groups

[Michael]

About time they clear things up that are not needed anymore, for example this: a button to go to forums when they're not coming back.

[Spiffy]

Glad they're gone. It was a cesspool of ignorance and racism.

How often did you visit the forums? It was only in 2012 that they decided not to moderate them hence the abuse. Quite amusing that your post itself oozes ignorance :whistle:

Glad the button is gone but would like to see forums return tbh.

I came back to Habbo after a almost 4 year break, so mid sept 2011, saw the forums filled with race-baiting homophobic sexism then too and nothing was done unless you reported the post (hardly any one did), and most of the boards were 'exposing' other habbos and telling people to go to habbo tumblrs where underaged elicit material of users were uploaded to, it was like a freaking cyber bullying free for all, so i just assumed that's how it's always been, apologies for my ~ignorance~ and whoever thinks a forum of that magnitude can be self-moderated by teens is an idiot because all of y'all fed off drama and don't lie and tell me you tried to step in and stop it from happening because NO ONE DID.

1. Nothing is done even on the client unless you report the person
2. Same things happen on the client, bullying, sexist remarks...oh and the tumblr links you are talking about..do you not realise that they started on the client and then moved on to the forums
3. "Self-moderated" really lol, so by your definition even the client is self moderated, in fact it is more self moderated than the forums because of the Guardian system. The moderation was not as bad as you think, posts were almost immediately removed and bans used to be given (I myself have gotten a 1 month ban)

See as you said you came back in habbo after 4 years..You never really experienced foruming so you cannot assume it was full of trolls and bullies. It was just like any other forum so making an opinion just because you happened to visit one day is unfair. 90% of the friends I made through Habbo were on the forums, and by the way..I have personally experienced much more bullying in the Public rooms you seem to be quite in love with.

Bullying in the public rooms skyrocketed after the forums were removed, and that's a fact. All the "e-fame" kids who were viciously calling others words I can't repeat on here, boasting about getting arrested, making fun of people's weights, everything was w@$#$#k bait on the forums. All the "top most talked about" list that Habbo had for forums, were all w@$#$#k bait. It was way, way worse on forums. The guardian system is so flawed you have got to be joking. I've gotten muted for literally nothing, repeatedly, it's just people clicking 'bad' without reading the issue. When teenagers moderate something 99.9% of the time, they're trolling. That's why I'm really FOR the Hobba-like application for older users to monitor the forums (if they came back) and older users monitoring in-client because the mods don't even visit rooms or walk about the hotel anymore. Stop giving teens trust if they're going to mess it up for the rest of us.

I'm happy you made friends on the forums in the past, but no one's doing anything about he trolls. I've experienced bullying in the public rooms too, and you know what? Muting helps, and so does banning them perm from your room.

So....the people who bully are to be blamed, not the forums lol?

The issue is whether forum system was working or not and it was, if you think this is bad you should've seen the new forums on Habbo.es....porn, gore was all over it and Habbo was allowing them to post pictures and videos. Now if this is the excuse they make that forums are not coming back then clearly they contradicted themselves. Just in case you didn't know...there was an option of private foruming too..which meant the threads and posts were not visible in the community page, that was an amazing option and troll proof. In fact most of the major discussion groups were private (Chapter, AU Group, Newsie, Warzone)

Anyways my point is, trolls are everywhere, there just needs to be a way to stop them which the Habbo forums provided (until 2012 anyway)
