I don't know I kinda agree and kinda don't

Like if you become famous people aren't exactly gonna know your hxf name and check posts, and most likely habbox will be long dead before you become famous

I'd also hate to look at an old thread and see 28 anonymous people replying to each other, and if this became possible, every banned member would want the stuff deleted and that would ultimately screw with bans as all 'evidence' is gone as it won't link to you

But also see where you're coming from as alot of people act less mature on here due to it just being the Internet and never going to effect you irl.

as an actor in training (well not currently but you get what i mean) if i ever became "famous" or even was just in a play and someone wanted to know who i was and found me on here, i'd be extremely embarrassed but i also take scotts idea of how messy it would make the entire forum and i think it would become a logistical nightmare.

i think perhaps if the forum is still going in 5 years, then maybe there should be a thing for anyone who has been using the forum for 10 years or more to have some kind of anonymity.

If you all become famous, feel free to drop by and ask whoever is general manager to remove all your posts in exchange for signed autographs we can give away in Habbox competitions.

I agree with scott here, it's just not practical to do this and doesn't really make any sense. How is anyone going to possibly connect you back to this place? Do you talk about it with your real life friends? Will you mention it in any up and coming interviews? Will journalists hack your phone and find your voicemails to (ex-)habbox members? We all say and do stupid things and for most people, this is fine because the past stays in the past cos no-one really gives a damn enough to care. I don't like the idea tbh, seems a rather farfetched situation (ie becoming famous) needs to occur before this complaint really proves substantial.

Oh, with VM's I 100% agree with you It's stupid how you can't delete another users VM that's on your profile.

what yeah u can

I was watching a Panorama episode about Scientology earlier in the year and saw how this stuff can be abused. If you speak against Scientology, their leaders have been known to document absolutely everything in your past and then hold it against you. I support this idea 100% and I think there's a major problem when you can't get personal things removed.

If you want something specific removed then simply pm an admin and they will do it for you providing that you have a good reason.

I don't really see the point in it... Don't post incriminating stuff if you don't want people to see it? Seems kinda paranoid of you to think that people are actually going to sift through your hxf posts and use things you say as a teen against you later in life.

Do think you should be able to delete VMs posted on your own page though as i have lots saying i scam which are completely false!

I support this idea, it would be of a great service by the forum to members who wish to enact this.

A member has spent all that time on the forum, its the least an administrator could do for when they leave.

[Grig]

It would be a good service, but following certain criteria, for example, not applicable to banned members etc. It would need such guidelines in place.


Also, you'd be amazed how people can trace you back to sites such as this, even if you don't mention it etc.

There is a simple answer to this problem, beware of what you put on the internet. This rule has been taught for years, so before you post something, think of how it will affect you in the future. For instance this reply might make people dislike me for disagreeing with their views. Think before you post!

It'd be ridiculous if you could edit your posts over 15 minutes after they've been made. It's your decision to post it so be careful when choosing which content you post. If you could edit any post of yours whenever you wanted to, most threads wouldn't make sense and it'd look messy with loads of false quotations etc.

I disagree, all of the other forums I go on have infinite edit times and have no problems with it.
