Answer to: 'Are you allowed to swear?'

[Barmi]

Agrees. There was a time when the Habbo Way was very strict, and it was clear as to what was and wasn't allowed... Now things aren't so clear. I mean take Runescape trades for Habbo furni. It used to be against the Habbo way to trade furni for other games platforms and now seems unclear. The Runescape trade room is always popular so if this is now against the Habbo Way then surely it would have been closed by now :/

Runescape trades aren't against the Habbo Way, but they are not recommended.

On topic:
The on/off filter will just mean Habbos who are beyond all help and cannot avoid swearing, will have no need to avoid the filter. SO, in turn it means those who keep their filter on don't have to see their chat filled with a whole host of obscenities. All Habbos still have the option of keeping their filter on, and it just means that (for those Habbos) the filter will be more effective.

Besides, when swearing is targeted at another Habbo in a way which is intended to abuse, harass or bully someone's race, religion, gender or sexuality etc., the moderators will act accordingly (as has always been the case).

So we can't swear at someone, but we can swear in general. And the bobba filter is not turned off, its just reduced.
