naming scammers rule

[joshuar]

Thing with a public reputation system is that it wouldn't be used for trading, we are not just a trading forum, whereas ebay is only used for buying and selling. We would need someone to moderate everything that goes through it. Plugins are still considered I would think, as ones like that are useful.

I think that the two lists would be a good idea, trusted list sounds a bit better than an untrusted list anyway.

Actually I do agree that buying reputation should not be allowed as its essentially pointless reputation which is against Habbox Forum rules.
I've never liked the fact that you can basically buy trust and credibility on the Forum without earning it.

Also, Mr.Sam showed us a great way of providing vouches similar to the reputation system but public, for all users to see, after a trade occurred the user would add feedback (similar to eBay) which could be shown in the Users profile. Unfortunately it was a plug-in and hence dismissed.

Well i think this plugin should be rebrought up .

We've got plugins and if it works similar to eBay then it will solve many problems and it would also hel pthe Webmarket forum along with when users want to "buy/sell/trade" layouts,codes,scripts ect.

Unless specifically needed, the Forum tends to stay away from plug-ins and I can't see this one likely to be installed, as it's not exactly "needed". The untrusted list acts as a warning. PM's can be sent to the Super Moderators who deal with that thread (YouHeard/MBE) to act as a warning - However I do think the "name and shame" rule does need to be amended, slightly.

Unfortunately with the trusted list, a culture of "guilty until proven innocent" was created with people not trusting people who weren't on the list, and occasionally wrongly trusting people who were. With the new list, the more widely accepted "innocent until proven guilty" system is in place which gives lesser known traders more oppurtunity and advises people who have not been trusted in the past, something which the old list didnt do. I think it is a step in the right direction.

erm, i think you need to delete the unsafe traders list then? coz yr basically calling them ******* scammers. and in another post rizter says there's a list of known scammers, which is here. why are you breaking yr own rules? i think you rly need to rethink the rules over...... coz yr naming scammers in tht thread. :S

I say this everytime. Habbox Forum has the biggest list of corrupt, contradictory rules than any other fansite/forum which they actually think are followable. Two rules which contradict are:

'Do not be racist' and the other is 'Don't type in a foreign language.' It is indirect racism to tell someone not to talk in their primary language and therefore telling them off and/or banning them. I could list more, but I won't. It is a good way to get out of trouble, telling the staff what rules they are breaking and what rules you have broken but at the same time haven't, that is, if they relate to each other.

I don't think requesting everybody to write in a language that everybody (from the uk) understands is racist.

I think you can say that the list of unsafe traders thread is against forum rule A11, but the forum management doesn't always have to follow the rules. In some occasions forum management chooses not to follow the rules, and they are allowed to do so.

This is brought up in every thread, the whole buying reputation issue. We all know Habbox screwed it up by allowing people to buy it to get more money so shall we dismiss it. I'm pretty certain management isn't going to do anything about it either .

I was also wondering.. what was going through your heads when you decided to allow users to buy rep. Did it ever occur to you that you were ruining the point of reputation :S

Maby the rule should be looked into and words changed slightly.
