Moderators & Rules

Oh well, didn't read the whole thread LOL

One generally comments on a thread because they have something constructive to add after reading it. It's not really that funny...

I think the question you need to answer is why do you want to be able to call people a fool, ask them to leave or tell them to shut up anyway? There just doesn't seem to be any point to it.

The fact is if I said 'Please keep your opinion out of this.' I wouldn't get infracted, yet if I say 'Shut Up' - which I will point out now is the SAME thing I would?

First things first. The rules don't need changing at all, they aren't strict like they used to be. I find them quite relaxed and the majority people follow them and understand them with ease. They also know if they break them, then they will get punished via the system. The rules are babyish? I don't think so. They could be a lot worse. You can't relate Habbo and HabboxForum all the time, we want a nice and friendly community where anyone is welcome where ever they come from, sexuality, religion and everything else.

------

If you have a problem with any of the warnings or infraction you have received from the Moderators, then report it. They will be overlooked at by the Super Moderators or even the Forum Management.

Regarding your signature:


"You have been warned for telling another member to leave" ~ How is that Insulting??

I'm not sure about insulting but that's rude towards the member. Telling someone to leave? That isn't friendly at all.


"You have been infracted for calling someone a fool" ~ Oh come off it. Never done that before

Offending/Insulting members by any type of name calling isn't allowed so why should "Fool" be?


"Please do not be rude to a forum user" ~ Yes. Of course - I forgot telling someone to shut up is bad..

Telling someone to shut up is rude and ignorant. I'm sure your parents wouldn't like it or if you work and your boss was telling you off. You wouldn't turn round and go "Shut up" Because you probably get fired.

But Matt, you see the thing is I told someone to leave BECAUSE they said 'This forum is full of immature kids' - so basically I was just following what they said giving them advice that if they don't like it to leave?

See all you do is pick a fight, In fairness to Tawm he actually didn't realise so he has apoligised

It may well be the same thing, but it's not friendly. It can just make things worse, but telling people to keep their opinions out of it would raise the question you raised earlier "has freedom of speech been banned?"

Why would you comment without reading the thread anyway?

So is all of this just over a warning which you received from Catzsy? If so, then just report it. Thats the only solution if you feel its unfair.

I am very happy for any of the Super Mods, AFM, or FM to look at the warning and give their totally honest opinion on it even if Dom doesn't report it and happily accept their decision whether it is reversed or not.
I feel it was the right decision but am quite open to a different decision if that's the case. As I have said before I target what I perceive to be the rule breaking, not the person.

I have now appealed them, as surely not even you Catzy can still feel that telling someone to leave (Who i have now made up with), for tellnig hi mto leave, when he actually said that 'This sums up most the forum' (Basically saying the whole forum are immature kids) - so I was just saying if you don't like the forum, why don't you leave

But anyway it wasn't all over that warning, it was just because the rules inforced on this forum, are what you get in nurserys - not a TEENAGER forum, I repeat TEENAGER.

Na, the thread was actually made over the fact that no one on the forum is allowed the freedom of speech. You could tell someone to leave the forum, three times - no matter what they have done - and get infracted? Im sorry but that is plain ridiculous.

No I stand by my decision but I am glad you have made up with the person.
But as I said the best way is to appeal the decision and I am happy you have done that and to accept what decision is made. We all learn things every day and mods are no exception to the rule.

i did not read any posts lol soz, but im guessing you made this because you got infractions or warinings? thats what the report thread is for you dont need to make a thread then go against your word when you find out you can report them

75% so far - rules need to be changed?

This thread is fatally flawed in my opinion because it attempts to rigidly link age levels to maturity levels and base rules off of the general age of the forums. It is, once again, fatally flawed to assume that people mature emotionally at a certain age.

I don't believe the results of the poll will have any effect really on any changes in forum rules. I think the forum rules which you argued against are extremely necessary to keep the forum a positive environment, because even those who consider themselves mature are entirely capable of turning a thread negative or making the forum a less fun place to be.

I sort of expected you to flame me..

Wouldn't be the first time would it?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion - or has the freedom of speech been removed to?

I couldn't give a **** who she is, and yes i do, I dare.

Case in point.

Last time I checked we don't enforce naptime :eusa_whis

Anyone who's been around for a bit may remember a thread a few months back where we all basically came to the conclusion that free speech doesn't exist at all and any public or private entity from school to a business will absolutely restrict your freedom of speech to some degree and is entirely entitled to do so.

On a side note, I have worked for Habbox for something like four or five years now and I believe I hold the record for longest time as a member of moderation staff and definitely do if we count administration as that (technically Jin is tied with me). I have to say that Catzsy is without a doubt one of the best moderators to work for Habbox, so I completely disagree with your statement that she is a bad mod or powerhungry. And, with all due respect I am much more qualified to give an opinion on that than you are given the amount of information and time I have seen her operate over while you are judging based on a few infractions.

[AgnesIO]

Decided I might aswell keep getting warnings - clearly they cmean nothing..

I went four months without getting one, but you don't actually get anything for keeping a clean slate.

Time to test mod's me thinks.
