    Default The bot is back

    I'm a Habbox (Trialist) News Reporter myself, but I really detest the idea of the News Bot in the main UK News and Rumours section. Yeah, Habbox has great news, but the majority of it is reported on Habbox Forum before it is on Habbox.

    The majority of the time, the news is already been posted in the forum, thus just creating an opportunity for spam (ie. OMG I HATE DIS BOT or ALREDI POSTED!).

    I don't like the bot or what it does - I wouldn't mind a seperate subforum for it, but not in the main section.

    I don't have major problems with it, and I know it's a good idea but I don't think it's nescesary.

    abstain means your answer is " i dont really know/care"
    and leave it as it is
    as ucan always give it a -rep and it will never report it

    Abstain means you're not interested

    And I think it should be moved to a seperate sub-forum.

    Half of the time, when someone posts it on the forums it then gets post on the site so they obviously take it from the forum, so we don't need the bot.

    Technically, abstain is the same as answer 1, to keep it, as abstain usually means you don't want to vote, and due to the bot existing now it technially means keep it as it is

    I think either get rid of it or have it in a sub-forum, even though having a sub-forum for it is pointless. If people want to read Habbox News, they'll go to the forum, rather than a sub-forum which is why a subby would be pointless

    Also, nvrspk4 said that if people are still anti-spambot after two weeks (which was about 4 weeks ago ), they'll remove it.

    It doesn't really bother me but to be fair I don't see how it's beneficial to Habbox. It works well on smaller Habbo forums because they don't have the users to post the news. However, on Habbox the news is always posted in that forum, without fail so it's not needed.
