HabboxForum Suggestions Box! [+15Rep to all reasonable suggestions!]

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 and 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"?

I think oli was just using himself as a spokesman for the people, from what ive seen of oli he does take into consideration a lot of what the community thinks

I'm not stamping out the idea I'm just stating my opinion, and no, moderators are not allowed to post in a thread telling a member they have broken the rules, it's a bit embarassing really if that happened.

Saurav, I like modtags but I'm not sure General Management do, we also got some bad feedback last time we thought of it... but I'm open to suggestions.

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.

They work because I have tried the mass bot spamming software to see how it works.
It registers pre-set data and when it comes to image verification, it automatically asks the user to put it in and then it finishes the registration. However, when there are options like "click on the image of the cat below", and "whats 2+2", it can't do it, doesn't ask the user to do it either as its not programmed to recognise it, and therefore comes up as "failed registration".

editing the post has the same effect really
like when you edit saying please dont be rude or offensive to another member or whatever, the "other member" will see that and probably still be a bit offended.

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.

No its because they dont have that ugly "last edited by text after the post lol". But i agree, we should have them. Get someone to make nice ones.

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.

boly etc

disassociate the forum with habbo and have it a general forum


most existing users have established a group of friends on the forum, new users coming in will find it hard to fit into these groups and probably just give up straight away

That would be the easiest way to kill the forum Members would stagnate, old members would leave slowly and the forum would die.

Bit of both tbh, the previous Habbox council was an absolute failure due to how it was operated, so thats why I jokingly said it might work again, but on a serious note, it may just work again! I mean problem is though, management are more in touch with members and having the council around would be doing just that.

I guess its how you look at it, and operate it, then maybe it'd be a good idea to have it back.

I disagree that the Habbox Council would be a good thing. The Habbox Council was started because there was a clear disconnect between member feedback and management, it was an attempt to fix that. However the council was not given any real ability to effect change and was really becoming a farce which is why I resigned from my position there. Instead we started doing Sunday updates etc. and now members truly know that posting here has a good chance of getting accepted and updated if they can prove their point.

While it may seem like its always been like this, because Matt, Sam and the various forum teams have done a very good job of keeping the connection. Those who were here years ago will know that there is much more opportunity for members to really effect change on Habbox nowadays. So the Habbox Council isn't necessary, because every member has the power that the Habbox Council would have. Credit to the current management team for making that possible.

Perhaps, although a full blown "you have done this, this breaks this etc etc etc" is a bit more embarassing than "Please don't post pointlessly" - this also helps other members learn what kind of posts are classed pointless.

I know when I was new I learnt from seeing other peoples thread edits, still got infractions for double posting mind ;l

[Tintinnabulate]

i agree


show what the mod tags look like pleeeeeeeeasae

msn kk
but yeah it looks nicer

[hah]

@ whoever asked

[Nemo]

To go back to the mod tags, i fully agree with them. Just saw a picture of em and they look prettttttty nice. Perhaps a dark grey with white text would look nice? :d
