    Doesn't matter if it wasn't directly. I made comments about a member to someone else via VM (and we didn't even mention names) but Forum Management gave me infractions because I did it. He broke the rules, should be fired like other staff would be - should be same treatment. People with a clean record can be perm banned for breaking one rule and I am an example of it. Seems like a different set of rules do exist for managers. Also seems 68.18% of this forum so far agrees with me... including many managers.

    Once the manager reads this thread, maybe they will consider resigning which they should do.

    I think maybe the poll has a flaw. Mmmmm where have I heard that before. . I would say that 'It would depend on the circumstances' should have been included so I haven't voted. I this to say, though, that word is pretty offensive but what I don't understand is why you didn't just make a complaint rather than post a thread? Racism is not tolerated on this forum from anybody and is up there with ' bullying other members'. Both are given a high priority.

    I did make a complaint and I was told its just "one word". Thats why I wanted to ask the members (and of course other managers) to vote if they would expect a manager to be fired if a manager made racist comments towards them. The manager made the comment I put in spoilers in the first post of this thread.

    As far as I know, if I was from Pakistan, and was called a ****, it's not offensive..

    But i dunno, it depends in what type of context racist remarks are said in. What if they were called White boy, or something else. Maybe they were provoked. It would need to be looked into

    I am not from Pakistan anyway. It was said in a racist way and management have agreed on that. It wasn't provoked and that is clear too.

    No, but, why have you worded the thread in this way? Asking what I would do, and stuff like that. It just sounds like you're posting this to get someone fired that you dislike. This couldve easily been posted in the complaints forum, and wasn't needed to be posted on the forum.

    If this was in habbo, then I see no reason why it should affect the forum. I've never understood it. They're to completely separate things. Habbo will deal with whatever happens on their side, and we'll deal with whatevers on ours.

    This forum is Habbox Feedback not just for the forum.
    And I am asking users if it happened to them, would they expect the manager to be fired, simple really. Just wanted to see what others think...

    Yeh, and it happened on habbo did it not? Habbox and habbo are two separate things, and what happens on each of them should be ignored by the other.

    Have you not realised I am posting what I think. You asked for opinions but what you really wanted was for others to agree, and for the guy or gal to get fired..

    I only answered your first post to clear any doubts. The second one I explained why I posted it here? I never said I disagree with you. Habbox has a rule where staff can be fired for things they say on habbo and staff have been fired for it before.

    Thanks for your posts anyway.

    But this thread makes it very clear that it wasn't said to you, only about you. I tell people that other users are gay or black or whatever all the time it doesn't mean I'm abusing them
