''Go to forums'' link gone from groups

[Spiffy]

So....the people who bully are to be blamed, not the forums lol?

The issue is whether forum system was working or not and it was, if you think this is bad you should've seen the new forums on Habbo.es....porn, gore was all over it and Habbo was allowing them to post pictures and videos. Now if this is the excuse they make that forums are not coming back then clearly they contradicted themselves. Just in case you didn't know...there was an option of private foruming too..which meant the threads and posts were not visible in the community page, that was an amazing option and troll proof. In fact most of the major discussion groups were private (Chapter, AU Group, Newsie, Warzone)

Anyways my point is, trolls are everywhere, there just needs to be a way to stop them which the Habbo forums provided (until 2012 anyway)

I knew there were private foruming. The problem was the trolls running rampant on the main forums and were the most visible. The problem. Is. The. Trolls. Taking over forums. I just don't see why Sulake would want to re-introduce something that would bring them back (while well intentioned) when Habbo moderation is understaffed as it is. You think guardians would help patrol the Hotel? Wishful thinking, mate. Trolls are everywhere, I know this, and Habbo needs to get a grip and so something about it. More Hobba-like would be ideal. I have zero trust in teens on the Hotel now.

There were moderators on the new forums on Habbo.es though, so I don't see how moderating the forums will be such a big issue, and I do not want guardians on the forums, the system has clearly failed and is a burden even for the client.

On uservoice the idea of bringing forums and guestbooks back had got 6k votes and had got accepted by Puffin before Uservoice was removed last year. I reposted the idea again and it currently has 600+ votes so it's clear that it's not like only a small proportion of habbos used the forums

i loved the forums and want them back for that community but the moderation of them was awful

like once in very very very rare circumstances u would see people banned for exposing. trolling/racism/homphobia and pretty much anything u would get banned for in client wouldnt apply on the forums.

Honestly, the forums were never the same like they were before the merge. I mean there were some decent people on the forums, but there was a lot more debaucheries taking place, and very little moderation to be present.

So glad they're gone thank ****!

[iBlueBox]

the forums were better then most fan site forums.

If there brought back there should be extra control to be able to appoint members as moderators of your own group.

[myles]

i think the reason why the forums on habbo were better than any fan site forum was DUE to the lack of moderation.........

forums and guestbooks were one of my favourite features on habbo i agree with karter with what he is saying
like you said trolls are everywhere you shouldn't just slate forums because of them, forums were fun and kept things interesting

How often did you visit the forums? It was only in 2012 that they decided not to moderate them hence the abuse. Quite amusing that your post itself oozes ignorance :whistle:

Are you joking?

The US forums alone were never moderated whatsoever... So many underage nude exposures and harassment took place, it'd take moderators ages to respond...

Shame really, would of been nice to see them return.
