HabboForum - owned by Ludus

[Catzsy]

Mod applications have closed and moderators been chosen.

Yes but there were hundreds of pretty shallow posts you have to agree, Jake I have no axe to grind - it's a genuine belief.

In a different thread about Ludus/Habbo Forum, I saw people asking to be unbanned (in fact I'm sure even you asked Jake, before you were hired) and I think those requests were granted. I might be wrong but I think that might be what DUBSTEP was getting at

I'm 18, so im not some young user btw. I can get away with hell on here, maybe im liked,i dunno.. But already i've had a warning on there for doing the exact same on here (and i've had a pm only)

Your age, nor what you think you can personally get away with is nothing to do with it. I was talking about the average user bases of each forum. I guess as Jake mentioned, if you're getting warnings it just depends on what you did

With strictness they both allow different things. You wouldn't get warned on there for calling someone immature, you would on here. However, you're more likely to get called up on pointless posting. ...

From what I've seen, I would say the moderation of the pointless posting rule as whole is the worst example of moderation I've ever seen on a forum. I've seen threads with pages of spam and then every few posts (maybe one or two per page of spam) has a moderator edit. I'm not trying to shoot the project down here, it just gives me the impression that a guy has basically came along, thrown a few random people together and expects everything to run like clockwork. I guess it is just a fansite after all; I probably just have too high expectations

I think when you get the Habbo Staff running a fansite, hiring all the "popular" Habbo's who love sucking up, I am not at all surprised that the moderation there is shambles.

That's such a stupid and immature post, it's unreal.
The management were hired as they all have experience, yes, the fact that they're "known" on the client is beneficial for events and such, but it's not primarily why they were hired.
As for the moderation - that's only just been properly sorted out, you'll see a lot more order from now on.
Who are you to say it's a shambles? :S Yes, it's not as strict as Habbox... but does it really need to be?
When I was using HxF regularly all people used to do was complain about how patheticly strict the moderation here is. At HF we have a much relaxed atmosphere, if that means letting an unintentionally "Habbox deemed" pointless post slide here and there, then I'm fine with that.

Just because I'm willing to give people a second chance unlike the forums you're used to using doesn't make us what DUBSTEP said. The forum is a lot more lenient, yes. Just to add for Rosie, I appealed that warning - it wasn't reversed - you'd never get that on HabboForum nor HFFM or CH for that matter.

I hope you know that Spam stands for Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages. Our rules are pretty decent with regards to pointless posting ~ if it doesn't contribute to the thread you'll get a PM, post edit or maybe a warning, depending on severity and how pointless it is. Last night, we decided we were going to be a lot more lenient and hesitant before giving out warnings and use post edits instead.

You can all say what you want, but the fact is, the management accepted the job as a Habbo staff owns it, and the site only gets hits because a habbo staff owns it. If anyone says no to it, they need to wake up and open their eyes.

But hey, who cares really?

Other fan site owners as its highly unfair on them.
Its obvious HF staff will try and defend it and I don't blame them, but everyone knows the truth.
