WHATS THE DIFFERENCE!

They could still be bullied even if they link to them

Yes but they can get the links to not display the images

[luce]

Fansite rules also prohibit sites from selling VIP do they not?

Yeah but no one pays any atention becuase this is how thay stay up!

[scottish]

You didn't get the point of that message lucy...

As in habbo rules said they can't post images direct, so they aint, but they also said not to sell VIP btu they do...

Posting a link will make the page load much faster

[--ss--]

Posting links = gives the users a choice of seeing a picture or not, embedding = seeing the picture without a choice.
It's fine the way it is and should be left like it, lucky Habbox even started allowing links to be posted.

[Mr.OSH]

Whats the difference in embedding a picture of you, or posting a link to a pictue of you?

I don't see why we can't tbh.. If its us and we choose to post, we should have full right to embed to the forum, and there isn't no safety risk as links are just the same!

Links can be put somewhere that can be removed easily by you. Forum posts can't be deleted without going to a staff member and we don't want people contacting us asking forum images to be removed for whatever reason and it causing us an issue. Also posting links means that the threads are not cluttered with pictures of people whereas links are easier to just see individually and it doesn't slow down page load as much. I don't see what the issue with just linking to a picture is anyway?

Fansites CAN:
- Post fun, friendly Habbo news with your own analysis.
- Hold competitions and parties in Habbo.
- Allow all Habbos to join in without discrimination.

- Create fun, non-offensive alterations.
- Offer help for new and old Habbos.
- Hold events for your readers.
- Allow your visitors to post a photo of themselves that's appropriate and does not contain personal information.
- Offset your hosting costs with advertising banners or ad words.
- Use publically accessible images created and owned by Sulake Corporation Oy responsibly and within the restrictions of the Fansite Way and Terms & Conditions of Habbo Hotel.

Fansites Must NOT:
- Offer Hacking, Scripting or Editing Programs.
- Publish any unreleased news regarding updates, new Furni or features without Sulake's prior permission.
- Ask visitors for their Habbo passwords or personal information such as telephone numbers or home address.
- Charge users for premium services such as VIP access.
- Act as an affiliate for a commercial entity, nor offer merchandise (including Habbo Furni) or services for sale.
- Offer to buy, sell or trade Habbo accounts for real money or Habbo Credits.
- Break the law or talk others into breaking it.
- Publish any material which may be offensive to other users or contains sexual content.
- Publish any personal information, pictures, video or documents belonging to Sulake Corporation Oy.
- Use slander or any other form of bullying in order to harass other people.
- Disrupt the operation of any other official or unofficial fansite nor disrupt the Hotel community.
- Replicate any part of the Habbo Hotel service ('Retro' Hotels, Habbo Home clones etc).
- Represent that your site is approved by or affiliated with Sulake Corporation Oy or that any other content on your site is approved by or affiliated with Sulake Corporation Oy.

It's not against the fansite way Unless the majority of members here are part of the Sulake Corporation, which seems unlikely. I really see no problem with this, moderators are there to stop bullying. Not allowing members to post pictures is kinda odd, when if a member wants to bully, they can do it through other means e.g. swearing.

At the end of the day though, I don't really care, if you want to see a member ask for their MSN or go through the picture thread in the spam forum.
