I voted no because I believe that it depends on the context. If they meant it as a racist, degrading comment and used it to offend then yeah they should be fired but if it was just casual then I think that they shouldn't get fired. It's just like calling an aussie an aussie or an american a yank. It's just one word to describe a group of people who have turned it into a racist term. So basically, if they meant it offensively then fire them but if it was casual then leave it.

Depends on whether it's someone I like, chances are it won't be so yeah fire them



But this thread makes it very clear that it wasn't said to you, only about you. I tell people that other users are gay or black or whatever all the time it doesn't mean I'm abusing them

Yes but I mean if it was clearly said in an abusive racist way and not as a joke.

Jacktard the manager I am on about meant it in a racist way, not a joke way Obviously even I wouldnt care if it was said as a joke.

Well if it was meant offensively then surely they should be dealt with accordingly? Not really sure if that means just a warning or fired in a situation like this one.

Just had a look at the managers list because I couldn't name them these days (kinda shows how small a presence most of them are on here) and can safely say that the one in question ought to be fired because none of them are anything special to me anyway.

depends the level. If its very loosely or has been taken the wrong way then no. But everyone has a different view on racism and how big different things are. for example i know people who take someone calling us a Brit is racism as they are putting all people in the UK under one name. Different people see different things are racist and not

In a perfect world. Yet moderation on Habbo has taken a turn for the worst and continues to decline since the removal of hobbas and merging hotels. Catching scammers is no longer a priority, and in a case like this no punishment would be given as the incident was over whisper. Therefore in a moderators perspective isolated and harmless. Every official fansite has to have some varient of staff with rights in their fansite room, whether it be a department specifically tailored to the task or the fansite's the general staff body. Extremely inconvenient though nesessary in most all situations.

In this scenario if a staffmember of my department made an inappropriate comment I would discuss the situation with garion and Roxy and (as has happened in the past) the staffmember would most likely be dismissed. What makes this a tricky situation is that it was reported to general management with the single intent of causing trouble and public reaction. That completely undermines the purpose of Habbox accepting complaints which is that users complain wanting staffmembers to make decisions in what the complaining user believes to be in the best interest of Habbox.

An official warning, and public apology towards the "victim" from the department represented by the manager in question is what I think is fair. You also have to keep in mind, that a manager leaving always has an affect on their department too.

Yeh, and it happened on habbo did it not? Habbox and habbo are two separate things, and what happens on each of them should be ignored by the other.

Have you not realised I am posting what I think. You asked for opinions but what you really wanted was for others to agree, and for the guy or gal to get fired..

If you were copied into the PMs sent to General Management, you will see it was sent as a complaint and accepted as one - so please stop presuming stuff. It was not sent with the single intent of causing trouble. The manager made a disgraceful comment and general management didn't take the appropriate action towards this manager. This is why I asked the members of this forum and managers what they would have expected to happen.

Do I want this manager to resign / get fired? Of course I do. They don't deserve to be one.

Why would I be included in a staff discipline PM between another manager and general management? Additionally you're not given everyone all the information about this situation, as Garion and Rosie have already pointed out. Where is the "depending on circumstances" option?

Then why did you presume that I sent it with the single intent of causing trouble?? :S :S You just admitted you had no clue what the PMs said and then you make ridiculous comments?

Depending on circumstances? The manager made a racist comment and not in a joke way and that comment can be seen in my first post.

I'm gonna come clean, it was me that said them.

We all make mistakes when we're angry, upset or annoyed with someone and at that time I was. what I said was totally out of order and shouldn't have been said. I totally regret saying what I said, and admit that I got carried away. I'm not here to defend myself or shift the blame but the person that sent you this is trying to get back at me for something I called them that has nothing to do with this. As you can see it was a few months ago and I've learnt not to be rude to people. This person want's me to get fired and wants me to get into trouble so they decided to complain about what I said. Yes I'm considering resigning and totally regret what I said but we all make mistakes.
