I did reply, stop making stuff up to make yourself look better.

That's FAQ, not the rules.

Last time I read a announcement relating to pictures, it said it is against the rules to actually upload the pictures onto the forum, and I am pretty sure you have to upload them when using a profile picture.
If the rules for it has changed then its my fault for not reading the new rules relating to it.

Yes, well, there's no rule against direct uploading to the forum

Should just add a sentence to the Rules: All the content of the FAQ should be considered as rules.
Otherwise people will continue to argue over small things when there are better things to sort out at the moment.

Edit: Wait, wrong way round. The FAQ is badly written anyway

Definitely not a good suggestion, the rules just need to source from the FAQ, not the FAQ being taken as a new way of posting rules. That's like calling full fat butter "margerine" because you're too lazy to remove the fat. The rules just need to say:

"Avatars must comply with the usergroup your account is in. See FAQ for account permissions (or what not)".

I have an idea.. Reverse the warning (which isn't a big deal anyway..), update the rules to whatever reds be, and just resize the avatar to fit your usergroup. Wait until you get VIP and then upload again..

You were given 24 hours to save your avatar onto a computer if you hadn't already..

I'd be happy with that. Its the fact i was punished for breaking a rule which does not exist i am annoyed at.

Then if all else fails you still disobeyed a direct request from a smod, believing yourself above the situation instead of doing as you were told until you got an answer from Jin. There's nothing wrong with you getting hold of him but if you aren't going to comply with requests which (whether you believe it to be a rule or not) are obviously quite tame and would have caused you perhaps a minute to find a new avatar or edit your old one until you were put back in a usergroup in which moderation was happy with it. It's really not that difficult to not make a fuss of it especially when it's down to your own lack of compliance.

1) the rule does not exist - if a police officer comes up to me and tells me the law says i have to give in a £10 i aint going to. If i'm arrested i get the feeling the fact a person in a position of authority is making up a rule (abuse of power) then taking action against an individual who broke no law, is a more servear matter than someone not obeying a fictional law.

I tryed to comply, but since i was given no time limit, had no idea i had run out of time.

"Here are the avatar sizes for the following ranks:"

yep that sounds like a rule. Definalty not an answer to a question

Now outside the faq, in the rules. Go find the rule

You do realise that when you click the forum rules, it basically takes you to the FAQ. And why aren't people replying to my posts. ;l


Oh, you have now

Agree with this, minus the warning reversal. If we reversed Mentor's warning on this principle we'd have to reverse the other several hundred profile violation warnings and infractions.

Actually, yes you can put a picture of yourself as your profile picture.

No, you cannot. Although profile picture rules are very unclear as profile pictures are a relatively new thing, this is something I am currently working on clarifying and have been for some time.

That is what the announcement said, yes

How is that common sense? Common sense is posting your avatar without the fear of being bum raped somewhere, as there is no rational reason for having a "rule" for this in the first place And FAQs by definition are not rules, they're questions that are frequently asked Perhaps the rules need beefing up in one of the updates, and the FAQ fixed?

Bold part would be a good solution to resolve this argument, however as I've said before no others have complained about this, but to make things a lot easier I believe you are right and the rules should be edited slightly and I've been talking to MattGarner about this.

This is also a possibility

I clearly explained why I said what I did in my post, so once again, yes I did reply to your post. You are just being very silly now.

Your example of Yahoo Answers vs Law is just :S
It is nothing in comparison to HabboxForum FAQ vs HabboxForum Rules.

[hah]

o m g it's only an avatar

Agreed with Oli regarding the warning and also the changes that other users have already mentioned.

----------------------------------

I think this has go on long enough for this small issue. To stop any more problems and confusion regarding the avatar limits and so on, there will be an update letting members know about the limits.

No, because then VIPs don't have an signature image limit (Not that they technically do at the moment).

"Donator signature images may not exceed 700 pixels x 300 pixels in total size"

Donator/VIP, very similar thing. Under B2.

Thanks to anyone whos put good suggestions.
