Habbox Beauty Contest?

[Sharon]

Nobody likes that people get judged on their looks anymore, which is why I think everyone is put off entering. I've got this from the debate and a fair few people saying it to me.

then surely those who don't want to be judged on their looks simply wouldn't enter and those who don't mind, would :S i'm really failing to see where this is going lol.

the whole judging thing is just the same as that hxf awards thing, it's a popularity contest (obv, if it was on looks i would've won:S:S). people will vote for each other, it doesn't matter if it's just the "ugly" members who post, last year it was only really spam members. at least now more people are taking part. who cares if it's not the same people as last year... won't make it any less successfull. of course people don't like being judged on looks if it's /negative/ which the comments here are but obviously it's not stopping people from entering.



once your pictures are on the internet, which i'm sure most people's are ie facebook, then it's accessible to anyone. so "peadophilles could see" really isn't a valid argument. that's your own/parent's choice.

first thing people do when they see you is judge you, welcome to earth

I'm all for judging people on their looks but we're not really allowed to do so - if I was to give my actual opinion of people according to the aesthetics they command I would promptly be silenced by moderation/management under bullying rules despite the fact that entrants have clearly given up their images to scrutiny at the hands of us members, as per the ideals of the competition that is now under way. I'd say that rather than discredit the competition itself, allow us to give our HONEST opinions rather than have everyone say how FIT!TTT! their friends are and then we'll see who wants to join in

i hope there are some sexy underrage men in this contest for me to get excited about.

Exactly.

If you point out someone is 'ugly' you are bullying (despite the fact they may be), yet you can say 'I WOULD!!' and that is fine.

If people don't like it then don't go in the thread. I'm sure the winners will be very proud. Afterall , it's definitely something to tell their children later in life.

I'm not saying HxF is ugly, where did the word ugly or that it will fully fail come up in my posts? I'm saying we had a few more good looking people than we do this year - as they have all left or been banned. Stop twisting my words please.

And Rosie, I'm saying it won't be as good as last year as people seem to have changed opinions towards beauty contests, as apparently some users seemed to be paying for votes.

Shaz the guy isn't twisting your words, you just write very vaguely and almost seem like youre insinuating.

I'm not bothered, I won't be entering I've already got a trophy saying I'm the fittest man on earth (just kidding). Dunno why people have to complain that theyre aginst it though, yeah Leah rigged it so that she got the most votes, she's a ex-DJ, she knows how to get votes I mean how do you think DJ of the week worked lol?

If anything you may get someone whos genuinely pretty or handsome this year... sorry Leah if you read this but your forehead doesn't attract me. Neway, you've got the choice to enter you're not being forced to so don't preach like a bible basher like "NO THIS IS WRONG AND I DONT LIKE IT"... Habbox is putting on things for the forum, if you don't like it don't look at it lol.

I didn't like it last year so obviously I'm not going to like it this year. The internet to me is a place to get away from physical judgement and doing stuff like this just makes it worse. I'm not being bias because I'm not good looking, even if I was I'd prefer the internet to be a place that stays away from all the reality malarkey such as physical judgement. I love having a place to chat where people don't just judge people from looks "Oh Chav, Geek, Ugly". With the internet it's based firstly on your personality. If I had the choice the internet and reality wouldn't clash.

I'm just a little concerned to what some parents would think, I'd prefer my son/daughter to see swearing on a forum rather than be hinted or even peer pressured by other members into posting pictures of themselves, after all it is a public forum, anyone could sign up, including paedophiles. The forum is regularly monitored and although the images may not be in a sexual sense I still feel kids shouldn't be able to post pictures of themselves. I remember I was all for "pictures on your avatar" then changed my mind at the last second for the same reasons.

Best of luck to whoever wins but I'm totally against it.

Indeed, I think I'm with you on this one, Richie. There's nothing like a good thread to boost (or indeed shatter) one's ego is there? The internet and reality should be two completely different entities in my opinion. What happens online stays online.

On that note however, Richie for Mr Habbox Forum 2011!!
