New Type Of Chat On The Way? (Uh Oh)

[garriet]

Absolutely ridiculous and this new chat thing has made me feel WAY old to keep playing, meh.

I'm confused. In the minimail it's made out that we'll be whitelisted forever. The FAQs then contradict this by making it clear that we will be blacklisted (they don't use these words, but the fact they're telling us we'll be back (as as close as possible) to the old chat and they're calling it free chat (same as Paul). So which is it Sulake? Whitelist forever, or blacklist in time? Hopefully the latter; if it's the former I really can't see Habbo surviving very long.

Surely they must have some sort of long term plan for this whitelist, or else they would just put a blacklist in the first place?

Yeah they did this with the Account Lock, on the FAQs it says it's per IP that this will occur but when you actually get locked it says it's for changing a browser .

This chat is getting annoying, starting to become more like club penguin with phrases.

No, the idea of the whitelist is that new users and those who have broken the Habbo Way can 'learn' what behaviour is acceptable and what is not. It's not supposed to be long term for anyone. The fact it looks like they're now backtracking from the whitelist to drop down menus for new users is therefore all the more confusing; it seems to imply everyone will keep the whitelist as opposed to being upgraded to the blacklist which Paul has kept telling us will happen.

Hating this chat.
It won't even let me say my name I hope this isn't long term..

[Paige.]

hate the chat already, it won't even let me type single letters so can't use proper punctuation marks

Paul's still saying via Twitter that chat will 'return to normal' soon. He's also said it will return once they've flushed out those breaking the rules. So it looks like they'll ban ban and ban during the coming weeks until they're satisfied they've kicked out enough wrongdoers then release the blacklist chat.
