Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

[Samantha]

Ooooh so that's the thing you got a minimail about a while ago... I vaguely remember. Did you get a badge? Has it officially ended now? Did everyone get a trophy? .. how many of you were there?

We got a badge but when it ended it was removed, it ended and 40 people were meant to be in. I didn't expect a reward either, when I got the gift I thought it'd be a duck.

The lack of communication for council put me off, put up with it then though me sitting in there hours and no one fitting ban times, pft.

I think we all got a trophy, Bailey did and he was less active in proper room than some I only met about ten. Made a good friend though lol.

Don't think it will shut but reputation will decrease, with the uproar of the mute and the amount of people protesting it shows most just wanna talk instead of leave,

Apparently muted because of a few users so why don't they ban or mute them,.they must know who they are.otherwise they can't be certain its a few. It's inefficient and the new habbo helpers scheme does nothing,what's there to achieve apart from badges and abuse of it.

I think the issue is more than a few users, they muted every hotel they have. They also keep saying they are doing checks and doing investigations - Are they looking into their systems? Are they having meetings on how to deal with the media? Extra safety?

omg, it's been about 12 hours now. I knew it was really bad but I didn't think it was this bad.

[Jarkie]

This is stupid. Wtf are they doing.

They're just losing money while they do this imo.

You have to think about the damage that Channel 4 have caused to Habbo Hotel's brand at this moment in time for those that don't play it much or for parents. Sure it's going to lose them money but if they didn't take instant action then no doubt they would of been penalised for not doing anything to protect other people because of a 'broken system' as maybe people would see it.

Child safety was always one of Habbo's strong points and that standard has been weakened over the past few years/months, the investigation would of made them make the issue which they would of known about become a much more important issue to deal with instead of cram more features into Habbo before fixing the actual game.

A lot worse on Runescape and other games yet I haven't seen anything about other games. Kinda sad tbh, it's not that bad really. At least 90% of us are legit and don't do that. Channel 4 should just go die tbh. Trying to ruin reputation when nothing is really wrong, bet you they are corrupt to.

I dont blame channel 4 sulake should have sorted it years ago and channel four just increased.the urgency to sort it.
