if we're not allowed to mention certain sites

[Catzsy]

The age of some of the younger members needs to be considered and we're not willing to have names of sites which contain such material, the site mentioned contains some very inappropriate material, moreso than the other sites you have named there.

I think Wootzeh's claim to filter it is a valid one, but either way it will definitely not be allowed to name such sites and never has been and this view has come from Habbox Ownership over the years too.

Oli is right. It has never been allowed to link or name sites that lead to explicit 18+ material. I would have thought it is common sense and quite honesly doesn't need to be filtered.

I swear people have been mentioning that site for years, and no problems have arised from it :/ And again, loads of these sites have warnings. Heck, Wootzeh posted something that clearly stated (Adult Only (18+)), so there's a warning already there :/

Okokok, got a PM about the above, can we even see a list of these sites? Excluding my above post, a fair number of people may not even know what sites are or are not banned.

How come you got a pm and I got an infraction? :eusa_eh: :eusa_shif

The problem is Gomme on that particular site is that 18+ is almost always featured quite overtly on the front page. It is nothing like Youtube or Myspace. It has always been banned in my memory along with ******** which is filtered.

It's never been allowed as far as I can remember and it seems Catzsy also backs up that claim so I'm not going mad or anything
It does make sense, we have a lot of younger members nowadays and I'd like to think a lot of these guys don't know anything about such sites - I didn't at their age. We have a duty to provide these youngsters with a safe environment and not see them led off to inappropriate sites - and let's be honest the website mentioned contains illegal as well as inappropriate material, it's always been Habbox policy not to let these sites anywhere near our forums.

I agree with Catzsy that it should be common sense not to post it however filtering it is an option.

I'm sure I've seen random references to it and mentions on here before. Oh well

Was that a search for the website in question? I did the same and found quite alot of results. You don't see websites like youtube with an x getting mentioned by the BBC

Everyone knows about *REMOVED*, why even bother filtering it? Seriously.

Edited by Oli (Forum Manager): Please do not name inappropriate sites

Yeah, was about to say this. Everybody knows about it.
