naming scammers rule

[sierk1]

I'm sure this has been explained before. We didn't plan to sell rep originally, but we gave some free rep as part of the VIP features. Then after a while we found that members were buying years of VIP for themselves, just because they wanted to get the free rep that comes with it.
By then we couldn't really turn this around anymore, and decided to sell the rep separately, so that members wouldn't need to buy many months of VIP, just because they wanted the rep.

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

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

So your pretty much saying "ask and you'll get" :rolleyes: Were asking, why are we not getting.

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.

don't you think it's setting a bad example if management break the rules? i mean if management get away with it then the members will think they can. but then the members would get punished but not management.

Precisely what I was thinking, alcohol. What's the point having rules if people can break them? Haven't some members of the management been fired, infact, banned for going agaisnt rules which they are allowed to anyway?

It seems these rules contradict themselves further.

Also, it isn't exactly racist, but you are pretty much saying that a member cannot use their native language yet you try and make sure they're in a welcome, friendly environment. The two contradict.
