Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

[Kardan]

How great to see a familar name from the past with an equally great thing to say Did you come back on here because you saw the news?

Basically, yeah. Although I do pop in every 3 months or so, but the news reminded me of the existence of HxF Good to see that you're still going Gomme

Jeez aha, the BBC article has been shared 877 times as well lmfao. + Oh, that was your grabber? .

See, if Sulake hadn't axed full length news articles nd started putting everything on Twitter, maybe half the hotel would know why they're muted :S.

hahaha, yes it's my room!! tbh I've never had my room so busy at this time before. I've had loads of people playing and you can't even speak to them, it's weird.

tbh it must be a bit strange for a new user who will probably have no idea why they're muted. this is where a news article would suffice but that's asking for too much..!

It's just a shame they've targeted specific rooms, out of how many of millions of other (types of) rooms out there, they went into the dating ones, and made allegations as if the whole hotel is like it; it's not. Not in the slightest.

meh... they don't seem to care about the effect it will have on the company, or indeed its users. they care about selling newspapers and being the one to expose a breaking story!

They're really Heavy on my paper round.

LMAOOOO oh my I feel for you on that one.

They should really just shove us on maintenance, this muting is boring. And I'll actually do something productive if it goess to maintenance LOL.

it's funny how we're all still sat on Habbo even though we can't speak LOLOL.

Since the news article and everything that's happened about channel 4, soon to be on the news.... do you think habbo could shut down because of this? Lots of people have resigned, their entire like.. can't remember the name, but they could end up losing millions lol

You mean shares.
And because Sulake muted the hotel and are proving they're VERY dedicated to trying to crack down on potential peadofiles they will not shut down.

All a media rage.

I think we don't think it's as serious as the news put it because we've seen it ourselfs and it doesn't really surprise us as this is what we see Habbo as. But the thing is it is quite serious and Channel 4 especially have raised this point and made this clear to everyone because it is quite serious, 11 year old girls being targeted for sex and naked pictures. It's not right - I know most of the game isn't like this but the majority of the time the top rooms were kissing booth and sexual rooms. I liked this game while it lasted but yes it should be closed.

What are they covering up, their moderation? It's been exposed, even Becs is appalled lol. As are a few other former community managers with Sulake. Jeffoo posted about it on fb and twitter too

What did he say?

[Toilet]

It's been apparent that Moderation is inefficient for a while now. I don't think the global mute is because of the number of calls they are getting?

LOOOOL. Ikr, you know you're addicted when you'd still play Habbo without the ability to type Used to do news article about maintenances as well, but now we get a simple message (daily tbf) about maintenance and no news article about a GLOBAL issue :/. It's ok, I can keep going to 1 website to find out news about a diff. website :S (Twitter).

I saw it on my BBC News app. and laughed, completely confusing my family. I had to come online just to see what the HxF community had to say.

And the ol' ticker hasn't given up yet
