Err no trust me I think I know and how can I give you evidence, its just common knowledge of forums.And how do you know this? Give me some evidence.
IMO at Habbox (not sure about other forums) usernotes were given as much as infractions. It didn't supply an automatic PM so the moderators had to PM the rule-breaker manually. There were certain times when the moderators didn't have to PM the user so they weren't made aware of it.
With infractions, because the rule-breaker receives an automatic PM, and they can see how many infractions they have, they are made well aware of their mistakes and can fix them in the future.

I havent been on this forum long, but so far all I can say is that it is the strictest forum I have ever been on, and yes, I have been on loads in the past... Most other forums i have been on are for teens and younger people too, and they have only like a few rules and it runs perfectly fine with a bit more freedom...
Yeah i must agree with you Lynx but at the end of the day its they set the rules we just have to follow them i suppose
when i first signed up i got about 3 infractions on my first day for silly things but ive gotten used to it now
I'm an ex super mod of habbox forum and the old system in my opinion worked fine. There weren't trigger happy mods who give you an infraction for the most pointless reasons, before we either posted a user note or pmd them with a warning and if they kept doing it we either cautioned/temp/or perm banned them, there was no need for any infractions :S
For what kind of breaking of the forum rules should you no longer get an infraction, in your opinion?
Isn't it very simple to just be nice to people, follow the rules, and not get any infractions at all?
I don't visit the forum much anymore.
The infraction system came with vBulletin 3.6 so HxF management decided to use it. It's a lot easier to keep track of people's record etc.I'm an ex super mod of habbox forum and the old system in my opinion worked fine.

People get all that in real life with the rules and stuff?
Habbox aint offical but its the habbo forum with the most rules and stupid infractions ;l
I think you need to sort it sierk !
As some members are SICK of it ;l
I'm not staff or a MOD and I agree with the infractions system what I don't agree with is how inconsistent (sp?) it is one person does something nothing happens someone else does it and they get an infraction just annoys me
I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.
The forum needs to be moderated heavily to ensure it is a user-friendly environment. If you are talking about sex or swearing or abusing people, it will make other users unhappy and less likely to use the forum. I feel you have no real argument for losing infractions you just don't like the fact that rules are in place.
I understand that sometimes they are given unfairly or too regularly. You have to understand that nobody is perfect and as a former trialist moderator I can say that doing this job is hard.
So give moderators a break, take your infraction and accept it. If you don't like recieving them then don't break the rules. Then you won't get banned or recieve infractions.
Like Sierk said, if you tell us what you feel infractions should be given for then I am sure they will review them.
Just calm down and be happy and enjoy the forum! You can have fun without needing to break the rules![]()
