Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

[vito201-:D]

youre trying to punish C4 for exposing very real problems with habbo? lmfao go back to runescape little boy, or better yet read a few books and learn how the real world works.

No, I'm trying to get them to tell their viewers that the WHOLE internet is unsafe... not just that a specific, actually quite well moderated, MMOCC is the issue...
I think what C4 did might have made the internet less safe for kids... if their parents think Habbo specifically is the issue and block the site for their kids - their kids will then find another MMOCC/RPG will they not?... And honestly, most MMOCC/RPGs are more unsafe and less moderated than Habbo.

I am not a child... and I haven't played RuneScape in years to be honest.

Uhm, they already know what has gone in from the News Report, hence why they may try sign up to the website? It just makes it more obvious that that stuff is happening when they mute users.

The mute is not to punish the habbos, it is so people who have seen the news reports dont make an account and see that the things in the news are going on and then more news reports would come out and more chance of habbo shutting down, it would seem like habbo had done nothing about the problem

Yes they do already know it but if they made an account then other newspapers or channels would see it and there would be more reports = more scandals, they would get more shocking stories and there would be even more complaints etc

@KevKev379 asked what form of communication restored first. We think your existing friends are important, so we start there... (leak)..

Did any fansite owners recieve a email? Habbo.es seems to think so!

[lawrawrrr]

woooo pm system!!

Oh good, at least with PM we can do most things. Trading will return as you can just add the shop owner to discuss your purchase then delete them. I wonder however when the events system will be back. Oh well, at least we'll be able to speak to our friends again. Hopefully they'll roll this out tomorrow and then start unlocking more on Tuesday. I would imagine, and I may be wrong, that they'll probably unlock one type of interaction each day this week giving them 24 hours to ensure each new moderation system works on each individual interaction in the hotel itself, rather than just their test client. Of course this is all speculation and could be completely wrong. I personally think 'the great unmute' will start as soon as the pixel event has finished. Maybe we will even have a counter on HV to show each interaction being unlocked?

I think Paul tweeted that this was what was going to happen, but he said that homes and gb's would come first, glad it's PM though
