    No there isn't unelss one of the management decided to allow a certain piece of information to show on the postbit.

    You can change the postbit yourself, just go to your options. I am sure you can do it.

    I don't think it woudl fit that well, lines would be bigger than your image, you have teh max size avatar on the forum so it would stretch the userbit for most and I don't see the reason for most.

    Actually, I can see a reason not to have it. Honestly I think it would prejudice people, I think one of the awesome things about the forums, Habbo, and the internet in general is its easier for us to not judge people by certain aspects of who they are, and we don't erect those barriers. For example, I was reading an explanation about why Habbo decided not to have sound integrated, the different voices might cause conflicts in interaction. Personally, I think it would only serve to divide people more (you're so young you don't know anything, you're too old for this place, you're black omg.) And yes, we can edit posts, but it doesn't need to be said persay, it could happen in our own minds - we do categorize people by race for example - you may not remember their hair color, but you'll sure as hell remember their skin color.

    I don't think this is a good idea sorry

    Problems;
    Age - Not much wrong but then maybe some users that are younger could be 'made fun of' for being young?
    Ethnicity - Could bring in racial remarks etc.
    Orientation - COULD bring in homophobic remarks
    First name - Giving away more personal information, Some people don't want to say there first names.


    Yeh I know you mean 'They don't have to' but after all this is a Habbo fansite.
    + Yeh it's a community forum but I don't think it's a place for people to give out more information.

    It is fine as it is.

    As much as I agree with not having this implemented, it is possible to hide your age and it isn't forced upon users to add these details, they do so at their own descretion which I believe is in the ToS anyway. If you don't add details, for example, your Wii Friend Code, it won't appear where your rep points are while if you do at it, it will appear. Just something you may want to know

    Yeah I know that
    Just I don't think users should be given the opportunity to give out this much information. Some users may think it is ok to display this then be abused or whatever else and then get rather upset.
    I just think the way it is now is fine, And it should stay as it is

    Depends how you look at it. If a member gets bullied about their name, sexuality and so on, they are allowed to remove it and they keep it there through their own descretion.. Most people seem to know my name by now anyway If people feel the need to bully members for being "gay" (even though you can just dive through the Gay/Lesbian forum for this information), then they're pretty sad people really. Although the need for a sexuality option seems a bit pointless. Unless Habbox goes into the dating industry, there seems to be very little use for it. Depends how you look at it though

    Users have the opportunity to give the information out anyway?

    And all the information you suggested could simply be put into your signature

    I personally don't like the idea but then I've never liked the idea of giving such information out over a forum. As nvr said, it would only create unnecessary conflict and divides between users with people being singled out for who they are. In turn, it would create knock on effects for the forum environment and the work load for forum staff.
