close this!!!!!!!!!!! i did not want to talk about the filter

[Catzsy]

not necessarily closed, but you get told to stop. e.g; HERE. I know I could pm Jake, but I don't use this forum for it's pm system, I would rather discuss things in the open.

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=595505 I know he asked for it to be closed, but there wasn't any need, I was handling the situation with him telling my my family sponges off the state fine and calmly and would have enjoyed to know why he said that.

http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=595091 - There was only one inappropriate comment so why was that closed?

And Jin, there's a difference I believe to being at each others throats and disagreeing with each other and trying to explain both sides. Nor do my posts 'rip it out of' a forum member, I think you're exaggerating a little.

If you cannot see why this thread was closed I am quite shocked. The member was fried, died and laid on the side directly from post 2.

Well you may like to discuss it on the open forum but when it is posted knowing that it could cause an argument then action is taken. What other reason would there be for posting like this? I took a lenient view and just edited on this occasion.

In this thread maybe the reason should also have been because the thread had turned into spam but then none of us are perfect.

Also if you feel that a thread has been closed for no reason then you have the option of reporting it straightaway so it can be looked at. Thanks

you can't even have a joke without getting infracted or warned

[Immenseman]

i have numerous jokes and don't get warned or infracted. the times i have done and it has been a joke providing you prove it's a joke, it'll be removed. simple.

then why did you have to say

"this is a joke" yesterday if you can say them freely :S

[FlyingJesus]

You can't joke quite like I enjoy doing on here because of how easily it could cause offence, and often there's not an easy way to know who's joking and who's really ripping into someone. If I made a post claiming that someone was well overweight and another that someone had a gigantic forehead and then another that someone was part of an incestual relationship, they could be aimed at one or many people and no-one would know whether I'm being serious or joking about (and in fact it could be a mix of both depending on what I posted) so yeah, it's an inconvenience not to be able to do so but it makes sense

I think the locking of threads is done far too often these days, it doesn't really seem a last resort anymore like it perhaps used to be. I wouldn't mind so much if something was achieved from locking the threads but the majority of the time, threads are just locked and no one's punished, hence why all the trouble continues.

Back to this thread here again, like you said, from Post 2, the thread had gone off the rails, why wasn't he warned for trolling or being rude? I believe that also applies to other people in the thread and also Clowgon was rude in return, it seems he was the only one punished for it, first being warned and then his thread locked. I think it's fair to say it wasn't really his fault anyway. This of course is just one example but I have mentioned it to yourself in the past and mentioned it in Habbox Feedback that Moderator's just take the easy way out by locking threads rather than punishing people.

Of course you can have a joke without being warned/infracted. Jeeze :rolleyes:. I dunno what FlyingJesus is on about, do you mean that you say random things about people without being specific at who you are aiming the comment at?

Whatever. Just have some common sense and everything will be fine. It's obvious when I'm insulting someone in a joke kind of way because I'll probably say something like, "omgz you skamm ". Obviously accusing someone of scamming is against the rules. But I'm sure you can tell if I'm talking in noob language and using happy smilies, then I can hardly be serious. Also whatever the context may be, would probably also suggest I'm joking.

However if you come across a thread where people are having a not too serious, but mature, discussion, and you come along and randomly post something like, "you are overweight" (as you mentioned as an example), people probably won't understand who it was aimed at and they wouldn't have been expecting humour which will result in your comment being taken seriously and thus leading to intervention from a mod, followed by a warning etc etc.

Simples .

I agree with you mwah. I actually find it quite nice to post on other forums every now and then. I feel more free and know that the rules are much more relaxed. About your poem, I posted the real version of that a few months ago. You can read it by clicking here (ignore the story that I added, just put that in to add to the Lulz of it all). As you can see, quite a few people read it and commented on it yet the Mod's didn't seem to bother about it, how is my poem any different to yours? But hang on, I think yours got removed because it focused on them being illegal and we do have quite a few illegal immigrant hxf regulars so you know, best to get it removed so it doesn't offend any of them. :rolleyes: But to be serious, saying that the poem is "Borderline racist" is just what you could call "Nanny society", it clearly isn't saying anything about black/brown skinned people or Pakistani/Indian/African/Polish people, just illegal immigrants. Therefore the only people it would offend are illegal immigrants, and removing it because of that is just another example of the rules being too strict as I'm quite certain that we don't have any illegal immigrants browsing/using hxf. Now you might say "even though it isn't offending people using the forum it is still classed as offensive material", who gives a ****! IT AIN'T OFFENDING ANYONE SO WHY GO AND MOVE IT!!!!!????

Nah I completely disagree, FlyingJesus had it spot on. The moderators often can't tell when something is joking or sarcasm and as a result it fuels a lot of debate in the Habbox Feedback forum. Simply don't do the joking and you won't get in any trouble like he said.
