Picture rule

[Sammeth.]

Yes, and you have have backed up my point why ither pictures should be allowed or shouldnt, someone could post a picture in their av of another memeber and say that they think they are famous in their opinion using this to bull the member, and you cant do anythink about it becuase if they belive the person is a celebraty, you have to agree becuase every1 has their own versions on celebs and who they are and you cant just say, he is a celeb, he isnt ect.

Angelina Jolie = Celebirty.
My Dad's mate who came to fix the radiator yesterday, who I also saw drinking a beer on Eastenders in that one episode = Not a celebrity.

I think you can judge who and who isn't a celebrity by saying to yourself "Will I be the only person who knows this person on the forum?" before you pop them in your avatar. If you find 99% of people ask you who's in there then its time to say "Maybe my friend isn't as famous as I thought".

As far as I remember, celebrity used to mean celebrate talent. I don't think many people on this forum have a unique and special talent that makes them special

From reading this thread people have said that using a picture of yourself in your avater can lead to bullying. But having a celeb is alright because they are well known by almost everyone. So if thats the case, if a celeb come to habboxforum and used a picture of themselves in there avatar you would have to infract them for posting a picture of themselves.

Yes but it is simple - here is the test:

- Are they in the media regularly?
- Do a lot of people around the world know who they are?

^ That basically tells us if they are a celebrity or not. You can't argue that it is hard to distinguish between a celebrity and a normal person as to be honest that is just silly.

Celebrity is a widely known person, you are not.

I can see your point and that, but then improving on it, why are we allowed to post links of us in the expose yourself thread and not the image? :S

That is very confusing indeed, perhaps the rule could be changed to allow members to post pictures of themselves, provided they're not added to signatures and avatars or uploaded to Habbox/HabboxForum.

How come your aloud to have pictures of "Celebraties" in our avatars and signatures but are not aloud pictures of ourselfs or others, what is the diffrence, it is still a picturre of a person, i could see myself as a celebraty so therfor techniqually have a picture of me in my avatar. You cant have one rule for one type of picture and another for a diffrent type.

yea, you could see yourself as a celeb? wth

noone knows you LOL


why are you so desprite to put your pic in your avatar anyway?

I recall the reason for links being allowed and embedding not is due to the fact that if it's embedded into the forum, it can be seen by a link on this website. If it can be seen on this website it's the managements responsibility. If it's on an external link, then it's off the website and therefore the responsibility of the other website, not the management.
