Pictures of yourself on the forum

[immense]

Yeah but I have seen topless pics on here, I've seen girls with their boobs hanging out, I've seen uses in underwear. Hey, I've even seen nudes of some users posted :L (although removed pretttty rapidly).

But lets be honest, if paedophiles see a thread 'post a picture of yourself' they are gonna be more inclined to sign up / stick around, if that isn't there, for all they know your not aloud post pictures.

It's pretty common for forums to have threads dedicated to pictures of its users.

Limit the thread(s) to user-only but don't make it something that people with a certain post count can view.

I think the only safe thing to do would be to ban pictures outright, however as Habbo say we must let users post a picture we cannot do this.

By making it so people have to sign up to view the PAPOY thread I don't think it'll restrict much as I don't think paedophiles wander across these sites and look for such threads - I mean we are a teen-based forum - that's all a paedophile will look for!

I would strongly advise users under 16 not to post pictures on Habbox Forum as you really do not know who is looking at them and let's face it, nobody can know if a user is a paedophile trying to groom children. If alarms are ever raised the Administrators would act immediately, however I really do think this is a case of being careful.

But the main point, pictures or not - a paedophile would be inclined to sign up to a teen-forum like ours.

Fair enough, I don't understand why habbo force that on fansites, makes them sound like paedophiles wanting children to post pictures.

[hah]

Habbo says a lot of things, but you dont let us do half of them :rolleyes:

I dont really see a problem tbh........ im sure people know how to report if they feel someone is harassing them and.......
Most of the staff her act like pedos to other users here and its sick sometimes........are we gunna ban them lol?

[Sharon]

All for this idea, I do think about this alot before I post most of the time, so I think it'd be good, but do you think it is possible to do this for only one thread?

Must admit, the lovey-dovey dating and sexual talk from some staff doesn't half annoy me. Main reason why I resigned from some positions..

On another site I use, there is a specific forum for posting pictures which can only be seen if you're part of a specific usergroup (join it by going to group memberships..) It all depends on just how careful the forum management want to be really.

[hah]

should have its own forum init so you dont have to look at peoples you dont wanna lol
and then you could make it private

[Rapidshare]

I know a lot of people saying about ther enone in underwear but think about in the summer of how many kids will post in their swimming costumes
