Zycon the Hobba - Under 18?

[Jacko2kn3]

someone said your not allowed giving out personal info well asl isnt personal info =\

ASL is personal information. Any information about you is personal. Your age, gender and location is VERY person. Don't give it out.

I havent seen him, i think it might be possible that habbo ltd have let him in as a one off. But its a 50/50 argument.

I think that if you see him acting like this again, you should call for help and make the habbo staff aware of his behaviour.

Thing is though, if he is a one off, why? I applied when I was 16 and the age was still 16, and then the age changed and I've been waiting patiently for my 18th birthday since so they can look at my application then. I was explicitly, and rudely, told by Habbo "Guest Services" that they were not accepting any further applications from under 18s, even if they existed before the change of age limit. Habbo should NOT be using one rule for one person and another for everyone else!!

Just pointing out though that the rumour is still unsubstantiated, and we have no proof, just some very suspicious behaviour.

Ok I JUST talked to a hobba and they said they are VERY STRICT on the ID. So this does not 100% say that Zycon is not less then 18. It is just saying there very strict so he most likely has to be 18+ So maybe he is just a little nervous that he is now a hobba, so maybe he acts a little childish. But he had to pass the applications,interviews,and now he's silver so... :s

Interesting..

All of you bring up great points.. There are laws, I believe, that restrict Habbo's from becoming Hobbas untill they are a certain age. The only reason .com is different, is because of the fact that thier moderation laws allow younger people to moderate (13+). I'm sure he was just acting immature, and if he really is under age, thanks to you guys e-mailing staff, they will find out soon. But Black, please let us know what happens!

[infatuation]

Never, the habbo staff would knowingly make someone a hobba. That is against moderation laws and if they did know the hotel would probably be shut down. Why would they jepadise all that? if he is underage then he must of lied, habbo staff would NEVER knowingly hire someone underage.

Azela.. your wrong, remember when the habbo age for a hobba applicant was 16? they took off most hobbas at 16-15 when they turned it to applicant 18, but they left a few on.. i actually know one

[Sabra]

they didnt remove any of the 16 year old hobba's they kept them all trust me.

[Kier]

Sabra's right. They kept all of the 16 year olds on.

But everyone is saying: "A hobba said this". Hobbas arn't perfect, they're still people at a computer screen. They can still lie.

[BlackGarden]

Where is all this stuff about a "moderation law" coming from? There are no laws to cover what volunteer work you can and can't do when you're under 18! (If I'm wrong on that please please just link me to an actual government site showing me the law rather than just vaguely explaining.) There are laws covering what paid work you can do. Maybe some parents of 16-17 year old Hobbas were concerned that their children treated their volunteer work too much like a real job, but spent more time doing it than the laws for paid work allowed, and consequently their school work was suffering.
The official line Habbo gave me whenever I asked about the age change (even though my question was what would happen to my application - stupid guest services...) was that Habbo felt it was best that 16 year olds concentrated on their school work. I have a feeling they may also have wanted to keep the number of applications down a bit.

I think it's very unfair to let someone under the age limit become a Hobba.
That rule is there for a reason, and it can't be changed just because of one person.
All we can do is wait for a reply from BlackGarden's email.
