[ReviewDude]

I'm in. I really don't get what Fear Of Missing Out is all about though, I mean, what a stupid name!

When I call for help, I don't do it for me. I know what all those words are, what they mean and see very little offence in them. However, with (officially - there are many much younger) 11-year-olds on the Hotel, I don't want their parents blocking the site because it's not Moderated, or for them to take offence.

And I thought the Habbo 'X' idea was stupid... :rolleyes:

tbh im sidin wid da mods on this, fo 2 reasons:
1- the egnore button is useful
2 - y waste their time wen u hav a button to do it for u, it is also alot quicker to egnore sum1 than 2 w8 fo a mod...

Have you read this thread? Read it again before you post another reply, because there have been a number of provocative questions been posed.

Yes, the Ignore button is useful. The Ignore button did need a "profile raise", but this is the wrong way of doing it. It is quicker to click Ignore on an individual, but it was originally intended to be used in the interim. That's what I don't like. You sent a CFH, but them on Ignore, and waited for a Moderator to deal with the offendor. Now, they are likely to get away scott-free for anything other than a heavily racist or terrorist related remark. (You're even told to Ignore blockers.)

The job of the Moderators is to punish those who break the Habbo Way. Whether the offence is serious or harsh, the punishments for each offence have been outlined in a recent article by Lost_Witness, and if someone is rule breaking, they should indeed be banned. If you did something minor that was against the Law, would you expect the police to just let you go, even if all evidence was pointing your way?

Please, read the other posts in this thread, because I hate to repeat myself. Actually, I will repeat myself, from something I said in another thread:

The problem is that swearing and avoiding the filter is against the Habbo Way anyway, thus the offender should be banned (unless the Habbo Way is going to be revised :rolleyes. Why has it suddenly become the responsibility of everyone else to "Ignore" someone swearing or flooding? All 24 people in the room have to press Ignore just because the MOD on duty can't be bothered to issue a ban? Lost_Witness issued a ban when a winner of the BOD swore..

Good point was posted by Sid - what if the room owner is swearing? You can hardly ignore them. The next reply will be "Ignore or leave the room", but why should a victim to swearing/offensive behaviour have to suffer by leaving a room that they have every right to be in, just as much as anyone else?

Besides, the Moderators clearly aren't doing their job properly even with this "click and forget" idea they've been given. Click Ignore on a room blocker? It's absurd! If they actually read the CFHs properly, why would they send the same automated reply? Another thing I have noticed: scripting rooms. Quite a lot of them getting high on the navigator, with lots of people who would jump to the chance of reporting them. Now, explain how these rooms remain open for hours upon hours when people are in there spamming "AMAGADZ IZ CALLED A MOD!!"?

The Ignore Campaign is a total shambles, and is (dare I say it?) the worst campaign Sulake have tried to issue. I wanted to give it a chance, but I find it to be too inconsistent, and on the whole very hypocritical. Habbo are working by double standards at the moment, and does not set a very good example for a "prospective customer". Not to mention; I can't imagine parents of young children being very happy. If a Habbo signs up in the knowledge that rule breakers will be dealt with, and then the parent finds out they won't be, it ain't too good.

The arguments put up defending this campaign (IMO) have been very weak. The problem with Habbo is there is very little communication between the staff and the Habbos, especially on matters like this. I know for certain that on a game I play (Guild Wars), the Public/Customer Relations staff regularly post on official forums - to take note of suggestions, to pick up opinions, and to shed light on things that people are generally critical of, such as this.

Habbo is without a doubt rolling down a steady hill, and it's just been given another speed boost. It will take some serious convincing to win me over into this campaign, and so far I don't see anyone convinced apart from Habbo X, Safety X, MODs, Staff, and a capful of people. I agree with Gomme - a petition is not going to get us anywhere. However, check Evolution's thread in Anything About Habbo (or click in my sig). If you are desperate to grab staff attention on a topic like this, there's a good place to start. You can hardly miss a lot of forum users with the same image in their sig...

*Cough* Before long, it will be advertised as a "self/user moderated chat environment".

Now if you read all of this post, and the rest of this thread, you will be on the same level as anyone else, and I would be sincerely happy if you could give some form of counter-argument to what we have said. At the moment, it looks very one sided, and all that is coming from supporters is "Ignore is good". We know it's good, but with all the concerns we have, we need convincing, not being told "it's good".

Edit: On a purely fussy matter, who has the right to tell someone to stop complaining? Nobody. Period. Especially on a forum, where discussions arise from complaints. This is a thread against the Ignore Campaign, and you open it not expecting complaints?

im in all the mods do is sit there and do nothing i bet there drunk most of the time

[Evolution]

Moderators should be banned for telling us to leave the room against our free will! It's DISRUPTION (to our game play) and as Barmi stated above why should we go to another room when we have been constantly reminded, preached to and have grown with the same rules. I still remember when the swearing campaign started by GlitterKat. SWEARING = ZERO TOLERANCE. Flooding = THIRD PARTY TOOLS TO DISRUPT THE HOTEL.

They're basically trying to rewrite 2-3 years of history and policies just because the ignore tool is there and it isn't right. Whenever I receive a stupid ignore alert I reply with a link to Lost_witness's article saying what bans are given for what reasons. They never reply or threaten to ban me for abuse of the call for help system.

I was in the chromide club the other night with Kotu and tm and someone was flooding a racial slur (which is a 24 hour + ban) he was using the N word constantly against people of coloured skin. I reported it and this was like 4-5am in the morning and STILL received that reply regardless of the fact there was only about 1000 Habbo's online. Sulake have money, so if they wanted to lighten to load on moderators - hire more.

Here here! I agree with it all!

Wow, you two know how to make a speeh lol

anyway anyone who thinks that the mods are on the right path, you are the ones possibly getting some benefits, maybe you go and swear at people now? because you know that the mods will just tell you to ignore them, If thats not the case then you think this whole ignore thing is good because It should be recognized, but whats the point of having a tool that doesnt really do anything, you still have a person swearing and being racist, just because you cant see It doesnt mean everyone else cant, Its called "noob" get used to that term because new people to the game will probably not be aware of the capability to report someone, and if they cant report then you have people who are In a room that dont know what to resort to, and It would be shameful to know that your parents walk by the computer screen and seeing the afros in a pool saying the N word, or just regular blockers swearing, and then you get kiked off the computer because your parents think the site is not suitable for your age,

now lets go to the future of the hotel, If this crap doesnt stop soon everyone on the hotel will be swearing, being racist, and being beligerent, habbo will get alot of complaints, which I highly doubt they would be able to keep up with, since they cant even reply one email about a ban in less than a week sometimes, alot of people will quit either cause their parents see that they are on an unsafe site, when really the mods should stop being so lazy and ban the offendors, and then the child gets kiked off the site,

So, inconclusion becs and ione are morons for even thinking of this plan, and there needs to be a stop to this madness, the mods are getting paid to do nothing, they sohuld either get a pay cut or stop their stupid moronic FOMO crap and just ban people who break the habbo way, which also leads to the habbo way been changed, from you cannot swear to , yes you may swear because someone will report you and you will not get banned, everyone will just ignore, does that even make sence to you? If they want to keep FOMO, they better change the rules or cut the mods pay, its like paying someone for sitting on a couch - STUPID!

so support the campaign and use the userbars and put a stop to this, use one or If you can fit both put the bars in my sig in your sig
