I very rarely have a conversation on MSN where I reply with one word answers, besides this is a forum not MSN

Haha, I rarely answer questions with one word

Why not have a strict sign up system? i.e. Click on the image of the cat, whats 2+2, and ask them questions like "are you a bot"?
I installed it on my forum, rarely had bots since then.

Agreed.


Also why not start using the [mod] tags. If they don't look nice; edit them

[Tintinnabulate]

Ah right

Hmm I'm not sure about replying to a thread telling them that they are wrong because I know if I'd made a mistake I'd rather I was spoken to about it in private without everyone else seeing.

The edit kind of makes it visible to everyone.

personally i think habbox is too grown up

most members of management are quite old and they take habbox too seriously and it just isnt fun. people who play habbo are usually quite young and play it to have fun. for example an average 12 year old would come and look at this thread and read the first page and be bored out of their mind.

the forum just isnt fun, its ran too much like a business and is really strict. it used to be way better when i was younger but everyone who is on the forum that used to be has grown up and habbox has grown with it, and its making it harder for younger people to join in and get involved because its too mature.

Right a few comments:

CHF mod edit tags look nice. It means users cant see which mod issued it and thus avoid them hating on the mod - however if they get a PM, it makes it obvious so dno. Mod tags kinda look nicer on CHF tbh.

Have separate "strictness" for Habbo category and General category. When I joined, I didn't even touch the General ones as users were so damn rude and they all ganged up on you. Slowly I started posting in General and got used to it.
Maybe allow no rudeness in Habbo sections as thats where new users first post and allow a bit in General.

I have seen ideas to add around 3 forums so far - I thought management wanted to cut down on the number of forums :S

Problem is, as Eckuii mentioned, before management were 14-16 year olds, now its older thus more strict.

It might be actually worth while changing the way of the registation process instead of the current image verification system. This seems to be more used by more forums and I'm not sure if they have many issues with bots but I will take Saurav's words regarding that.

@David. We did try "MOD" tags some months back, although we couldn't quite get them nice or how we wanted them. We obviously don't want to fully copy other fansite tags.

The forum just seems to have a bad atmosphere in general and when I was active (Not sure about now) it was run as a dictatorship. When a forum member suggested something good and most of the community was behind it if one person in managment did not like it then it would be discarded and would receive no updates from managment on it, the topic would just be left to die without a confirmation on wether or not the idea will be be used or scrapped. Forum members back then got pissed off with that and would still get pissed off with it now. That could be an adding factor for some members to leave the forum. If this is still the case it needs to change.

I wouldn't like members being publically told they are wrong, the PMs moderators send to new members are extremely friendly, infact the moderator guide says to make such PMs more of a "Welcome" PM than telling them they're in the wrong.

So you're stamping out the idea? Fair enough its not got any support but still. Any ideas that gain support from the community should be taken into consideration. Thats the attitude I remember from managment when I was active.

So if that idea gained support from the majority of the community would you look at implementing it or because you are against it just discard it?

Just out of curiosity now, if a rule was broken by a new member would a member of staff be allowed to post in the thread saying that it isn't allowed or is it a "You must send a PM"?
