It'll be abused to make joke threads. There is no way that on a forum like this with a load of pre-pubescent kids you can possibly expect anonymous posting to be easily regulated/moderated and people will be able to get away with anything because they're hidden.

Indeed, there already is a bunch of idiots in that section, this would just make it worse, it may as well just be renamed the comedy section if it comes into practise.

Habbox users can have just as much positive imapct on someone as anyone from one of the larger teen forums. There are countless threads in the teens forum that end with "thanks for all the help, its really helped "

They can but very few members actually give useful and reliable help. A lot of them are stupid questions, 'My back really really hurts what should I do?' - Everyone just replies 'See your GP', and everything else in the section is 'See your GP'. For health related problems it's essentially useless as it always has ridiculous questions and replies.

Frankly I think it's dangerous to trust a lot of the members giving advice on health and sensitive issues, people use this forum for habbo, technology, alternations, entertainment, not to help people in the health section. The chances that they don't know much about it are very high, if they used a proper forum for it, it would have professionals and people who knows what they're on about, not people trying to have a laugh or have no idea.

Judging by your post I'd say you've never been a part of a forum that has tryed the system out. On the forum I use, the reply was very positive, people posted to share similar experiences and to offer advice from what they found out when they experienced the problem, and besides, some of the issues are emotional things such as "parents splitting up", where users need advice and help from people around the same age as them that have been through similar ordeals.

The fact that you want to hold this off because of "people posting silly replies" etc, is just silly in itself. Moderators are on this forum for a reason and by suggesting this it just insults their capability. They're more than capable of upkeeping rules on a forum. This is why they are here!

This idea is great.
Punishing the majority for something that the minority do is just stupid.
If wosrt comes to worst I'm sure the Mod's could even ban the people posting pointlesly from that forum.
It's a great idea and should be put into effect ASAP.

We'd make it so moderators upwards could see who was posting, moderation isn't really an issue.

you could also make it so an admin or mod has to check the thread before it is published.

Yes but the whole point is that if the feature is used people wont feel uncomfortable, it'll make more discussion, it'll rise statistics of the forum, people will get the help they want; everyones happy.





I strongly advise against any of you two starting up your own sites; the whole point of it is that the majority needs to be catered for, there are no major disadvantages to the idea, but there are manier great advantages. People don't want to be told to go to so and so's forum to get help for this and that. Teenhelp is probably full of forums about people with health issues. If people were able to post their issues here anonymously it'd be a unique thread and different from the usual content, and this forum is full of people in the teen age range, meaning experiences can be shared etc.

Quite frankly, this has to be the ****test idea Habbox might take the users up on. What the hell does a bunch of 11-19 year olds know about all health? The CURRENT threads being made regarding health problems are ALWAYS "See a doctor" thats the only common reply you'll get, a quick easy answer to shut you up.

I dont care if i sound harsh its the god damn truth and i really hope this does not happen. There's alot better ideas which NEED adding then crappy ones like this which gives sex freaks a hype.
