Now you're just adding to the strictness of the forum, and it's unneeded. Some of these kids are only asking for some help. I'm sure you see lots of younger members on the likes of "TeenHelp" seeking this sort of guidance, so why shouldn't people seek it here? People aren't forced to click on the threads title, and if they do - then they can blame themselves. If they don't like the first sentence they read, they simply just have to click back and go elsewhere. This is basically harmless. As much as I like to point out Habbox' faults (Seeing as there are oh so many of them!) I don't agree with this rule becoming any more strict.
Also, if you cared to notice - the majority of these threads with the "sexual content" in are under the forum category of "teens and older members". There's not much the forum can do to prevent any younger members taking a look inside of them. I believe people from the age 13 can make their own decisions and can pass their own judgment on this situation. I also believe a fair share of the population of teenagers on the forum have just a tad more sense than you're giving them credit for.
So yes, if younger members look inside of these forums, it is clearly their own fault - as it states the forums beneath that category are for teenagers and older. (Remember, 13+) I don't see any apparent need for your "protest" against the matter, as it's harmless and it's something that can easily be avoided.
You were meant to.
I just didnt want MAD to see it.
Then either the forum or the rule should be removed, because they contradict eachother.Then whats the point of the forum. :rolleyes:
However when Mr.Sam brought this up in the rules thread and mad alterered some, but not Rule A26

Why does it bother you so much? 11 and 12 year old kids should know about sex ed.. I learnt about it all in school when I was that age.
And the only people in that age group are probably Kyle and Vien, that's it. And it aint just a Habbo Forum it aint official and the other sections are actually more used than "Habbo" apart from people spamming threads with "news" just when the Hotel goes on maitenance :rolleyes:.
i personally belive that talking abouts things sexually related is no problem at all.
kids will talk about it to friends, as previously pointed out they learn it at school at quite a young age, 10-11 is when i first had sex ed. and as far as im aware, 11+ is the age range for habbox members?
i think we should allow talking about these things. talking about it on a forum that they visit and talking about it with people they've got to know is a lot better, and more benficial to them, then just waiting to maybe catch it on the off chance, especially with sexual slang and stuff like that.
I see Laith is still being very avasive of this thread.

Lmao. That made me laugh sorry. But in all seriousness I agree somewhat. But as most of these threads are posted in the "Teen" forum, and teens are going to talk about that kind of stuff. If non teens go there that's their own buisness. And as for their parents, they would probably be wth at their kids going there instead of the forum?
Anddd.. habbo was made for kids right? Well, I don't think parents would be too happy to find out that habbo now has an option to unfilter words and their kids probably chose that option.
IMO I think you should only be allowed to see the teen forums if the birthday year that you put in when you registered meets the correct age.

THANK YOUUDJ NORMAL♥
I think, much like many Forums, there should be a sort of 'Mature' Forum, with an option in your profile (default = off) to not view it, as a sort of safe for work thing. Perhaps it could even be like a joinable usergroup, allowing people to see the Forum only if they wish.
Inside that Forum, helped along with some specialist Moderators (you'd need Super Moderators, or just some really good ones), there should be Forums for sexual advice and help.
I also think there should be a one-stricke-you're-out policy, whereby if a user posts spam, is rude, is immature, they can be removed from viewing/posting in the 'Mature' section forever.
