We've updated the "Specific Forum Rules" for the Trading Forums so they are a little more up to date.

These rules can be viewed here or anywhere else in the trading section.

The most notable change in these rules is that we've altered the "Do not make comments" rule slightly to allow questions about the trade:

Commenting in the trading section

Please remember that commenting in the trading section is only permitted if it is a question and has relevance to the topic.
For example, the following would not be allowed:

wow ur rich, nice furni!

However, this post would:

would you take credits instead of club sofas?

Please familiarise yourself with these rules and if you have any questions contact either myself, Garion or one of the Super Moderators.

Thanks to Mr-Trainor and Saurav for these suggestions

Following a suggestion by Demala in the Feedback Forum we have decided to remove the "Online Radios" forum.

This forum was quite inactive and threads within it could be posted elsewhere in the tech sections.

If you are unsure where to post thread about online radios, contact one of our Tech moderators, Tomm, Orangeesh or one of our Super Moderators.

All threads from the online radios section will be moved into other sections soon

We've added a new Frequently Asked Question regarding signature limitations for the users in the "Unconfirmed" group.

For some time now, members with less than 5 posts have not been able have a forum signature, this was something set by Jin to stop spam bots advertising in signatures.

The new FAQ can be seen here

Most of you will be familiar with the Habbox News Bot as for some time it has posted news reports from Habbox.com in the Habbo UK News & Rumours section.

After talks with News Management it's been decided that the bot was not needed and has been removed from the public forums.
