Noone posts any more.

Absolutely cannot bring myself to agree with this. For all its faults, the management of Habbox at the moment is not strict - realistically it's a damaging opposite. The level of moderation for us lay people is about right at the moment (I've had a couple of dodgy edits on supposed "pointless" posts which were actually straightforward responses to the thread, but nothing too sinister) but the way in which staff are treated is so lax that things do have a tendency to fall apart.

The rules here are extremely strict, unless they have miraculously relaxed in the past couple of weeks I haven’t been active. You even noted yourself that you’ve receive a couple of edits for “pointless” posts. This is the same forum where if you post a filtered word, with only the first letter unfiltered, it’s classed as avoiding the forum. The same forum where you can’t post a video which contains mild language unless you give a warning and also hide it in a spoiler…

*Primary age of the very small number of members who responded to the poll

It's the only resource I have to make a judgement...

I really don't understand this. You don't get "hounded" with warnings and infractions unless you're breaking the rules, never have done. I'm very outspoken and have strong views on things and people which I express often, yet here I am with no infractions and only a single zero-point warning from over a month ago, and it's not like I'm friends with management or anything so it's not that there's any favouritism going on.

The point I’m trying to make is that the rules are too strict? I’m not denying that you only get punished if you break rules, it would be idiotic to think otherwise …

Other than not allowing swearing (OMG WHATEVER WILL WE DO FOR CONVERSATION?!) I can't see anything that's directly affecting the way in which older members post, and since we've never been allowed to it's not like we miss being able to do so. What bonuses would you like for older members? It's not a case of anyone being unwilling, it's simply that there is nothing that can be done for an age group who really doesn't want anything

I didn’t realise you had become the spokesperson for the older members of Habbox How do you know they don’t want anything? Have you asked them?

Your only argument seems to be a recurring YOU CAN'T SWEAR!!!!! - of course rules concerning filtered words will all have the same end, swearing is not allowed. The edits I got were the fault of the moderators in question seemingly being unable to read, not the fault of the rules that are in place. Seriously, swearing issues aside the rules here are not particularly strict.

No I have not asked each and every member over a certain age whether they'd like anything, but considering the fact that there is literally nothing more that makes any sense to give I imagine what we'd really like is money or food, which I don't think Hx is going to hand out. If there really is anything that would be of real benefit to older members that we don't currently have and wouldn't break forum rules then go ahead and state it

I agree with you. Thing is you can't break the rule 'a little bit' - it is the same as breaking the rule a lot so avoiding the filter by one letter is as bad as avoiding it completely. Things are way, way more lenient than they used to be. Infractions/warnings issued I would say are down by 500% since 2008 . I agree with you on the pointless posts and I feel that there should be more moderation guidance on it. As long as it is ontopic with the thread or something relevant in the thread then it should be left alone.
