Negative comments in Congrats/Thank You forum

[Kardan]

Can we change the forum name to 'Congrats/Thank Yous and ****** remarks' then, so they aren't off topic posts.

[MKR&*42]

Change it to "Staff Changes, congratulations and thank yous" and that will legit solve every supposed off topic issue jesus.

And then keep on ignoring rule A1.

A1. Respect other forum members ~ Always respect other forum members, this means do not be rude towards them and respect their opinions. You should not bully or victimise other members for any reason and you should not behave in a negative manner excessively or attempt to cause arguments.

rule a1 went out the window when dragga was allowed to make threads

[Inseriousity.]

They're not off topic though. Threads can be responded to about the general theme of the subject and it would be a silly forum that strictly straitjacketed users to respond a certain way.

If a person is banned are we allowed to say what we want about them since they're not a forum member any more

Is the theme not 'Congrats Jade' not 'Jade has left Habbox for TH again'

[Sharon]

they're not off topic because they are still bout the same subject lol...they should be allowed but obv if it's staff members being ********* them obv take suitable action

edit general comment not at jade (whoever that is...)

[Inseriousity.]

No because the general theme of the thread in this case is jade's firing so I don't think it's off topic to discuss it. Use A1 rule by any means but restricting the thread to just congrats is applying a straitjacket to threads that is unnecessary and pedantic. For instance:

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthrea...26#post8207726

By your definition, this post is off topic but I would argue that the general theme of the thread is about kelly and kyle's hiring and that it's okay to therefore talk more than just 'congrats' and I believe other threads in the forum have had valuable contributions to debates about, for instance, the DNHL (martin's firing) that it would be a bad move to be so restrictive.

[Kardan]

I don't know, we're saying congrats to Kelly/Kyle because they got hired, so it makes sense to talk about their hiring.

But for Jade, the thread is saying thanks for her time at Habbox - and nobody seems to be doing that But yeah, my point really is rule A1.
