Personally I feel no video should be removed unless the video is reported and someone is genuinely balling there eyes out irl. It was never as strict in the past. For example I posted "you just got owned - video" several times in the past, it never got removed and it was allowed once in a spoiler. No it isn't even allowed in a spoiler. I'm not sure why things had to change, it was fine before.


IF YOU DO NOT LIKE SWEARING DON'T CLICK A LINK WHICH SPECIFICALLY SAYS THE VIDEO IS GOING TO SWEAR.. IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

No, Habbox has a lot of younger members and these members shouldn't even have to see such videos. This rule is much more lenient than it used to be however it needs to be enforced in the interests of the younger members on this forum - if their parents caught them watching some of the videos that get removed by mods then they could easily make them stop using HxF or complain to us.

The rule is there for a very good reason and it won't be changing.

I don't mean to be funny but they really don't? it's not like people are forcing them to click it. It's a shame that every time an argument comes up it's always the same excuse. I have never seen younger members complain?

If age and swearing is such a huge problem, why don't you add an age filter. If a member advises younger members not to click a video, they can't see the video.


"But people will lie about their age" that just proves they don't care if they hear swearing or not. Children can easily go to youtube and type in a song with swearing, their parents might hear it. It isn't habbox's problem, its youtubes and the parents for lack of monitoring.

I wasn't aware you had eyes & ears over HabboxForum 24/7 for the past 7 years Richie. Many complaints have been made about inappropriate videos, from older members, younger members and in some circumstances - parents. These rules have been in place for a long time and with good reason and they will not be changing.

If parents are contacting you about a video containing swearing you should link them to youtube management. Get their parents to filter youtube on their computer.

As for older members making complaints, without sounding childish, they need to grow a pair. If a video has a spoiler don't watch the video jeez it's common sense.

If I had a child and they used this forum i'd be much more concerned about them viewing threads "what size is your penis" (not sure if it's still around but it wasn't removed).

The "what size is your penis" thread should have never been allowed and the Forum Manager at the time was severely punished for allowing it. We don't allow swearing at HabboxForum therefore we don't allow excessive swearing in videos. No matter how much you rant and cry Richie, it's not going to change.

[Maatt.]

cant you just get over the fact you are not allowed to swear. Unless we wont to become unofficial, keep the swearing out of it.

[Catzsy]

I think the answer is Richie is that we allow 'mildly inappropriate content' and videos with hardcore swearing from beginning to end does not count as that. Members should read the rules really and if they don't know what it means ask for advice before posting. You would not find any content like this on mainstream television or radio so why should it be allowed here? The forum is pretty lenient to allow the milder swearing in a spoiler with a warning. The 'you got owned' video is old and has always been removed. It has never been more lenient than this. The moderator obviously did not see it when you posted? Links? You can't be penalised for a video posted way back.

Don't get why these swearing etc threads keep coming up even after every thread has received a IT'S NOT CHANGING reply. Just gives management more of a reason to say no if you're gonna moan 24/7 about it. I wouldn't mind being able to post any videos etc and I disagree with alot of the rules but when people have been told 100 times that the rules aren't gonna change then you're sort of meant to just give up and realise that the decision is final

If youtube allow it, I don't see why Habbox dont.
