• Some constructive critisism about HabboxForum's rules •

Well thats how we decide if a moderator can pass. If they can't decide properly as a trialist mod, how will they be able to do so as normal mods. This gives them a chance to show they know what they are doing .

ah yes but... you do have to admit some of your trial mods do give out infractions for the littlest things. I know they make mistakes but...
Okay they should have the right to give infractions but if they fail their trial then the infractions should get reversed.

Its not an easy task to reverse all the incorrect infractions unless they are reported by the users. We can't go round checking all infractions each and everyday however yes, I do agree some infractions are used too much such as off topic posting etc.

Mods are learning though, thats why they are given trials to show what they can do .

Thanks for making such a thread in a good manner . +rep

We're planning to loosen a few of the rules, but not the rules regarding MySpace and Messenger. I agree with the rules about MySpace.

What rules will you be 'loosening'? And could you elaborate on why you agree with the MSN/MySpace rules with connection to what I said?

Well thought out and written thread. Valid points there + rep.

Ok, lets start. I do agree that trialist moderators do tend to make mistakes more than the more experienced moderators, since they are new to the job. Taking away their right to infract people wouldn't be the ideal solution. That is the main purpose of the trial, for the management to see if they are capable enough to become a permanent moderator. There isn't any other ways to cut down on the errors by not gaining experience. Yes, of course they make some mistakes, but you can easily report the unfair infraction in the thead given.

A lot of the rules seem to be too strict and I agree to loosen them up a bit, especially the off topic rules. Members should be allowed to express their views, have fun and go off topic a bit without being infracted etc.

The signature rules are fine how they are. If we allow signatures to go 2 pixels over the limit then members with 3 pixels over the limit will complain that theirs is only a pixel over. It will be endless. Although I do believe that members should not be infracted for a signature rule violation (unless they continue to do so).

And just to finish up, I don't think that the MySpace rules should be changed. If people's photos are on their MySpace and they give it away for the HxF community to see, I guarantee that people will insult other about how they look eg. 'omgz u suk u have purple hair'. Remember the 'Post your leg' threads?

Overall a good thread, well done

myspace should be allowed.
you decide whos your friend or not on there.

[infatuation]

for the most part, I agree with alot of this.
The rules should be loosened up, if not a little bit.

Some good points.

I agree that some mods might try to give out infractions as much as they can so they look like they are needed. (All of the infractions I have gotton have been reversed)

But with the sig thing. Like others have posted. There needs to be a limit which is enforced. If the new rule is that you can go 2 pixles over the limit then why not just make the limit 202 pixles or whatever.

When you make a document in photoshop or whatever you can select what size you want it. I think there should be a sig limit on not just pictures but also text. When looking at a forum I dont want to see a long story in size 48 font about how someone wants to have babies with one of the forum mods.

About the Myspace and Im thing. if you want to get your myspace or msn to another forum member you can find a way. (pm or habbo) A post your myspace url thread will not help the young habbo audience which also goes on habbox.

Maybe a different forum section that you can only view if your age is older then 15 and you have been on the forum for over a month. It could be a forum where you could post myspace urls and pictures of yourself. (not others)

This would encourage people to stay on one accont and not get banned and make new acconts. Maybe even you need 50 posts to view and post in the forum.

Kind of a ramble but might have some good ideas.

If we go into detail about changes and we change our mind, we dont want to have made a promise to someone then not go through with it . Its better to stay safe that sorry :p.
