RIP threads

[Geraint]

jesus christ, he was only stating his opinion and so was I about the post count thing.

[Immenseman]

and we're stating our opinion. it's a forum, opinions clash.

putting other people's opinion down though...

I agree with you for those reasons and this. We don't want to know what your family dies because what are we meant to say

1. Im sorry
2. im sorry
3. UNLUCKY

2 of them are pointless and the thrid is sick so yeah. Also one of my friends did kill himself.. If i had made a thread when it happened i would have got abuse and stupid sympathy messgaes.. how does that help?

I haven't actually come across these threads because i don't use the forums that they're posted in but it's not something i would take pleasure in reading. This is what the deaths section in news papers are for not a habbo teen forum !!!!

Fair enough if it was in spam, but it was in discuss anything. I don't think they should be allowed outside of spam unless, as you said it's someone who's famous or whatever. It is a bit stupid saying R.I.P when you don't know them, I know I'm contradicting myself but I just done it to be respectful rly.

Spam is for pointless things that have no meaning, are you saying a death has no meaning?!?!

If people want to create them then I fail to see how it affects you. Geraint, saying people post in them for post count is ludicrous. I would do it to be polite. Say for example a user has posted "R.I.P. George" or what have you and nobody replied, that'd make them feel worse. I don't want people to feel bad. Maybe you've had no family deaths, but they aren't fun. I personally would never post something so personal on this forum because none of you know my family (some exceptions josh and dan etc) so although you might be sad for me that my Grandad has passed away or whatever you won't really care.

What if the person has nobody else to talk and uses the internet to "escape" and wants to talk about it on here. Can you blame them? No, not really it's a way of letting their feelings out. I really don't see how they harm anyone.

Then it should still be kept to MSN or by private messaging others they feel they can talk to, no point telling the whole forum because then they will just be ***** and unsympathetic towards you as displayed already.


Why when something tragic to someone that we all don't know happens and is posted about in the World News forum and has been on the Tv, we all suddenly start to care? You get replys like "poor man", "what a horrible way to go" Ok, maybe you don't actually care but we aren't exactly going to write any insensitive or harsh comments (a few probably would) about it, these people that are posted from the news are veryyy likely not to be connected to anyone on here at all but when it comes to someone that's close to anothers heart they get shouted at just because you don't know them, I don't understand. However, from the msn conversations I've had with a few people here, if these people know of another members family's death or illness they are subject to abuse because these people know exactly how to get personal and hurt someones feelings, and yes I'm hypocritical for that. The last thing I'd want to do is announce a death of any of my family because of the stuff I've seen said about others, I even told 2 people about something personal to me and I got the sly comments here and there and still do. I think private matters should be kept private as it just gives people the chance to target you. I don't particularly care of anything that's happened that's why I don't reply to the threads but I'm not insensitive enough to have a go at them about it, as if you're ever going to get a rule passed that says "don't post about deaths unless they have been covered by media, are famous or use this forum." No.

[Geraint]

Personally, I wouldn't tell anyone incase someone says something bad.

Erm, I'm not talking about saying RIP in real life which is how you're talking. I'm talking about this forum.

What if the person has nobody else to talk and uses the internet to "escape" and wants to talk about it on here. Can you blame them? No, not really it's a way of letting their feelings out. I really don't see how they harm anyone.

There's specific websites for that. Make a blog or something. A Habbo forum REALLY isn't the place to let loose. Facebook, Myspace whatever is.

I find it quite harsh that this thread was even made, who are you to tell people that they can't say goodbye to people they have lost.

I'm sure my grandad would be proud of me if I created a thread about his death :rolleyes:. I'm not saying that, I'm saying it shouldn't happen on a Habbo forum.

It's just my opinion. Calm down.

I can see your point and do respect it. On the other hand members should feel free to express themselves without being targetted by negative posts like these. As I said it's a community and members feel part of it and if they have problems/tragedies in their own life they want to talk about then they should be free to do so. Not all people want to keep things private. If members feel it is for post count then they can report it. As you say there is no need for insensitive posts at all. There is also no reason that this thread in feedback shouldn't be made. He has a genuine belief that these sorts of threads shouldn't be made and he is entitled to his opionion whether we agree or not. It's the insensitive and inappropriate posts and people who target misfortune that should be clamped down upon.

If you'd actually read my point, I acknowledge what you're saying - I personally do agree with you. However, I don't have tunnelled vision. Some people don't have people to talk to - they ventilate their emotions on to the internet. Habbox Forum is part of that thus people post what is close to their heart.

It's obviously easier for people to post on here then to explain their feelings to somebody in real life. How can you criticise them for that? They aren't you - nor does it affect you. You have the capability to ignore the thread and I'd be more worried if the threads were annoying you.

It isn't something that I and clearly you two would post on this forum because it's nothing to do with the whole forum. Sure I might tell a few people on here if a relative died because I talk to them daily.

You have to allow people to post what they want; providing it doesn't violate the forum rules. If people desire to post about family deaths for whatever reason then you can't penalise them for doing so. Just ignore the threads.

I'm not narrow minded, Jake - I just have an opinion that seems to contradict the opposite opinion. That's the basic fundementals of how opinions work... so why bring up narrow mindedness?

I do understand people need to let loose but a Habbo forum isn't the place. At all. Ever.
