    newb/n00b/noob is a newbie isn't it? So scammers are newbies... sorta doesn't work.

    It depends on the scam, if its a stupid scam like the password one, then yes I'll agree they must be thick. But if it's a scam where you buy something from ebay lets say and the person runs off with the money/item, then it doesn't mean you're stupid.

    And, umm, interesting safety thing :p

    I don't think so. You are still stupid for actually selling/buying stuff on ebay and not bothering about the consequences. Why bother selling furniture? It has no value in real life currency. People selling it and buyers are pretty dumb. If you are scammed, it is truely your fault. You should think about who you are dealing with and accept these errors.

    Me neither. They tell stupid people how to do simple tasks and how to have common sense.

    I'm not here to tell Sulake how to run their Hotels, but IMHO, I would have merged the Habbo and Safety X teams from the start. It would have been far less confusing, and more efficient.

    Still, as long as people are still being scammed in these overly common ways, Habbo feels obliged to continue to educate people about these common scams. The problem, though, is that they can't grab their target audience - the people who would fall victim to the scams. Instead, at least half of the room would fill up with people who know the topic inside out and back-to-front. I feel these Safety Sessions would work, but only if the correct audience was addressed, which is very hard to do. At the moment, it is only working at half efficiency, a 50/50 split (which is better than nothing, I guess).

    Why do you think I'm talking about selling Habbo furni? I am talking about buying/selling on ebay in general, like selling a gameboy. Not ****** Habbo pixels.

    And somebody with super feedback may scam, they may have used another account to gain feedback, you just have to take a risk.

    If thats the case your posting way off topic.. We're talking about a Safety X session about Habbo Safety, not Ebay Safety. I am sure there are forums that deal with that.

    Habbo scams are newbish things to do, because we all know whats a scam and whats not these days, and when one is successful, 2 months later its old hat!

    I think the Safety X's should either gooooo or merge.
