Leave moderating to the moderators rule is ridiculous and lame and stupid

[GommeInc]

Nothing wrong with a friendly reminder by members. I guess it depends on the rule that the member has broken? Telling a member they have pointlessly posted is arguably pointless under the rule as it's off-topic, but if a member posts a link to a retro then maybe it should be allowed? Especially if the member who posted the retro made a genuine mistake thinking it was fine to do so. Context will make it understandable.

How you would edit the rule to make sense of what is doing the moderator's job is another problem altogether

if it's a spam thread then it is fine

you're just scared that the community will become so friendly that moderation won't be required and you will be left jobless

if you saw a boy beating up an old lady in the street would you let him carry on? or would you intervene and tell him to back off!

Telling someone they broke a rule ain't really gonna help. And whatever is spam idk they're not my rules lol. It might aswel just be one rule for all

[FlyingJesus]

Nor does it do any harm, and no they're not your rules but you're supposed to know them and enforce them properly

[Yawn]

wat if it was a post which said something else so it wasnt pointless as well as saying that a person was rule breaking

[Drewar]

Why does everybody make threads about the most pointless things?!

Yes. This response made my day.

I can't help but laugh at the same old crew who consistently break the same rules and then make threads complaining about the rules and arguing with / teaming up against the mods instead of just following the damn rules. If you don't like the way the forum is run, then leave. Seriously. It's not that difficult.

It's always the same people moaning and groaning about every single aspect of Habbox. Not just about the rules, either.

Phil put a lot of time and effort in to a forum activity recently (the Jungle one) and instead of a "thank you for all of your hard work" thread he was greeted with a huge feedback thread moaning about how he could have done it better.

The people who volunteer to run this website are just that, volunteers. They are not paid for their efforts, they are here because Habbox is a community that they care about and want to be a part of and have fun while doing it.

People who consistently break the rules, post negativity, criticize admin and management, complain about radio, events, etc. need to realize that the workers here are real people who have their own lives and commitments outside of Habbox. If you think you can do a better job, then apply for the entry-level volunteer position. Once you're hired, you can spend countless hours working away for thankless complainers, and perhaps if you last long enough you'll move up to a senior role, and perhaps management. Then, once you're management, you can be involved with the decision making process in terms of rules.

The people who are in management have already proved their dedication and love for the site, or else they would not have been promoted. They have Habbox's best interest in mind. They don't make rules just to annoy you or make you angry. They have good reason for the rules that are in place. Enough with the constant moaning.

tl;dr - If you think you can do a better job running the site, apply for a job and start working your way up like the current and previous management who made the rules did. If you're too lazy to do that and you still hate everything about the site and feel the constant need to complain about it, do us all a favor and leave.

I think I said that was fine to do so in my post.

I'd rather have one person contacting a user about a rule break rather than all the members telling them as well as a moderator coming along and editing the post and telling the user the same thing.

Nothing wrong with the rule at the moment. Just report the rule break and let one person sort out the problem. Keep it consistent.

However the thing that happened in spam was ridiculous. They were clearly just messing about and didn't need all those edits and pms imo.

So basically, all staff and management are always right, and there's no need for feedback ever?

I do think the rule is fine. I agree with it not being used in spam as most of the spam threads are jokey although I think the rule itself needs clarification rather than saying 'if you see someone break a rule use the report button' maybe it could include some examples of what you can do/say and what you can't say.

Well, the rule in itself is okay, you don't want people pointlessly posting (assuming we're outside of spam) something like 'YOU BROKE THE RULES!!!', but surely, it should be part of the pointless posting rule?

I mean, we don't have a rule saying: 'You may not ask someone how they are unless you add something to your post which is relevant to the thread topic', that's because it would fall under pointless posting

The 'Leave moderating' rule has nothing to do with people trying to be like moderators, it's simply to stop pointless posting, so seems strange that there's a rule which allows moderators to punish pointless posting in spam and seems strange that we need that rule, when the pointless posting rule would already cover people just saying 'YOU BROKE THE RULES!!!'

From a SMOD position then, can you tell me why the rule is fine? Like, what is the rule setting out to accomplish? Because I'm struggling to see it from any other way than my point of view here
