Fansites CAN:
...
- Allow your visitors to post a photo of themselves that's appropriate and does not contain personal information.

Sorry but I fail to see how that means fansites HAVE to allow it.

I just saw that they've changed the forum so that guests can't view the thread, but how would that improve privacy? If I really wanted to see your photo I'd take 2 minutes to make an account.

I don't think there is much risk on a forum like HxF, it's great to take such measures anyway, but I mean come on I frankly don't care if some peado or 10 peados look at photos of people- there is no porn here or anything. It is not indangering anyway in any slightest way. It is great to take such measures, but I haven't seen this to be any major problem in the past such as any hub for peados etc.

I even think some are slightly over-reacting on the threat.

[=TuTu]

well i disagree..
i say u should be aloud no matter what, nobodys forcing anyone. Everyones own choice, so u should be aloud.......

i think you should be aloud, its the person choice. Not as if the thread is forcing someone to do it. At the end of the day the person who posted that picture is the only one held responsible for that.

Does the fansite way actually exist? Last time I checked the fansite way died in Feb 2010 (in a news article) and the only reference to any sort of rules is in the Official Fansite Page.

http://www.habbo.co.uk/groups/official_fansites

It also doesn't mention anything about fansites offering "premium" services, so it makes you wonder if Habbo have finally seen sense, though unlikely :/

I think the only safe thing to do would be to ban pictures outright, however as Habbo say we must let users post a picture we cannot do this.

yes but habbo also does not have a filter, just like the for-
oh wait, no, we do.

Well that is a very good find indeed and it doesn't mention premium services at all as you say
I have noticed though it is still in the FAQ

quote from the last article about the fansite way:

That's not the official list though, the "rules" are written on the fanpage (or whatever those individual community pages are called) and it doesn't mention anything about premium services. That one looks as though it is the list published in a news article dating back to February 2010. The Habbo Fansites had an event between now and then, which means the Official Fansite community page has been updated since, so I'd go with the one that seems more official and up-to-date, seeing as that is a news article and time does change
