Moderators & Rules

The poll isn't fair because one category is bigger than the other. The 11-13 age range has a small representation on the forum anyway, but for the poll to be reliable, the ranges need to be equal, because there's more chance of someone being 14, 15, 16 or 17 than 11, 12 or 13. Been doing statistics in maths for an exam in a couple of weeks

I know but I made the poll as I think that when people reach 14 they TEND to mature..

I think you should still be warned for being rude. You can't really compare it to Habbo. Say I told you to "**** off" on Habbo, doesn't take a genis to guess what that is right. It'd be there for about 30 seconds or less and I doubt that I'd be penalised by the UK mods. However, if I said it to you on here then it'd be there forever making like Jen said the forum look unapproachable and unprofessional. The rules on insulting another forum member are fine. Posting to cause arguments is another matter...

But 2 months for telling someone to shut up?

thats a tad OTT surely :S.. Even if it was a VERY strict school u might get a break detention?

You don't receive an infraction straight away anyway. First a usernote, warning then infraction. Therefore by the infraction stage, it should be quite obvious that what the user is doing is not acceptable. Just because there's more older users than younger doesn't mean the rules should be relaxed to compensate for the former. The whole point is that there ARE younger users who shouldn't have to put up/see insults or whatever because its not necessary.

Its normally the younger users that start it all off though. If they don't like it - leave

Oh god yet another ifnraction coming my way..

Why would you receive an infraction for that lol

But nevertheless, you can't generalise as not all young users are like that. Even if some of them are like that, then the rules keep them and all users in place. I think the rules are fine atm as I'm sure they were relaxed/changed some time last year?

Yeah, so if younger members "normally" start the arguments why on earth would the staff make the rules more lenient? It doesn't make sense. If the 'younger ones' were to leave because they don't like the abuse, so would others because of people being allowed to be abusive, where would we be then??

I never get infracted/warned on here for being rude, because I am actually a very nice person and would not be rude. :8

I just get infacted/warned for spelling a word wrong and being accused of avoiding the filter. :S Oh and I also sometimes get infractions for naming scammers.

But in all honesty, I don't think that the rules are too babyish. This is a forum where people should be able to come to for fun and to have a friendly chat. Although telling someone to shut up isn't a swear word or something that is classed as extremely unacceptable to say, it still isn't nice to read when you are on the receiving end. Maintaining a clean and friendly looking forum also improves Habbox's representation and makes new users feel welcome.

I've had loads of warning and Infractions for telling people to leave.

They say something like 'This forum is stupid' or 'All this forum are immature' - So i said if you don't like it leave - and Catzy had a go at me :S

Yes she had a go at me as well, guess she is just a more mature member of the forum that likes to see every post in tip-top condition.
