wow are you serious

[The Don]

Another user posted a completely off topic post and then preceded to state that they weren't posting off topic, I commented saying that their post was off topic, disagreeing with what they said. I come on to habbox and have a pm from martin telling me that I've broke a rule. Sorry but I was responding to his post where he had previously stated that it was on topic. In no way was I trying to moderate. If that's what I was trying to do I would have told him that he broke a rule, which I didn't, I just said it was off topic and then reported the post.

For a dying forum deaperately trying to survive, your moderators (martin) are going about their best way possible to lose membership and they've lost another member now, unless I receive an apology pm from martin.

Moderators should use common sense, was my response really a crime? It seems that the current mods are power hungry and I would genuinely go as far to say that this is the weakest team I've seen here yet, a bunch of unreliable power hungry people who get stepped on in the real world so come on here to make their life seen somewhat more important than it really is.

Oh, removing this thread from public view will prove my point. Please explain martin, how replying to "my post isn't off topic as I..." With "yes your post is off topic because it has no relevance to the op" is trying to moderate.

I'm genuinely angry, It's almost like some moderators are trying to point score by being absolute power hungry jerks because they dislike certain members.

I am sorry that even happened. Clearly, the rule was created to stop vigilante wannabe-moderators posting in every thread that they see rulebreaks in because at one point on the forum that was prevalent. You shouldn't have been reprimanded for this because you were directly replying to something stupid and untrue. If someone posted naked men going at it in News & Rumours and put a caption under the image saying "THIS AIN'T AGAINST NO RULE" and someone said that it was, what would happen? Granted, the latter example is much more severe but the principle is the same.

Moderators: Do you really think The Don was doing anything against what the rule was initially setup to stop or do you think you wanted another notch on your moderations list?

Martin and the moderators are just trying to do his job, I must say he is doing it well. Sorry for what happened. I sincerely hope the matter is resolved.

If you have a problem with moderation that has been made by an individual and not the whole department then it should really be all dealt with via PM or in the Support Forums. There is no need for feedback thread after feedback thread when most of the time it's down to a member of the department doing something wrong than the whole department. Any threads from now on that is aimed at one individual will be moved into the Support Forums, this isn't a new rule - It's a rule that just hasn't been forced recently.

In terms of your actual post, yes it is telling them they are breaking the rules and the rule is there to stop people from saying it to every rule break there is on the forum. Now it is an odd rule as well and sometimes moderators do give out harsh warnings towards such posts. But you could of just reported the post like anyone else would of - Was there a need to reply?

It is a genuine rule that really does exist that you are probably well aware of, you could have just reported the post and left it like that.

I don't see why you are now moaning about something that is actually in the rules. From what I have been told you said I completely agree with Martins actions. (on my iPod so I won't go into it too much)

I've had it, it is blody pathetic that when I'm clearly far from trying to moderate (no where do I say to the individual that they are breaking a rule ) I get penalised. The general management here (or should I say lack of) is going to be the end to this forum. When I come online, I don't intend to come to a website where I'm getting warned and into trouble for such trivial matters, where's the fun in that? It appears you are agreeing, that my post was some sort of attempt to moderate and warranted such a response, so good on you but I don't intend to stay a second longer and support such a ridiculous, self destructive place.

Whilst I don't know the context and therefore don't have an opinion on this case specifically, I have always thought the "leave moderation to the mods" rule is rather odd. Surely we should encourage users to flag up any rule breaks so others can learn from the mistake; I see no reason why it should be hidden if someone is simply performing a good-will gesture. I don't think I've ever seen a user trying to act as a moderator, they're just trying to help. It's a subjective rule that is largely ignored, and for good reason too.

A user posted in a feedback thread which has now been removed something along the lines of "*insert completely off topic crap here*" then they preceded to write "my post isn't off topic because in a screenshot in the original post I'm mentioning that" the original post was Richie complainig about being banned from hxhd and Scottish posted some chat logs to prove that Richie did break the rules. Here in those habbo screenshots you can also see habbos discussing stuff which is what the persons off topic post was discussing. I wouldn't of even bothered pointing out their post was off topic if they didn't put at the end of such an irrelevant post "oh my post isn't off topic because..." So I was merely responding to their comment.

And you think we come online expect to people demanding an apology or they will leave a Habbo fansite? You posted a thread and replies were made. Nothing is resolved without a discussion and by the way you have been supporting "such a ridiculous, self destructive place" for over 3+ years because that's how long that rule has been in place.

You can leave Habbox any time you want but you surely would expect to people agree or disagree with you in this thread. Like I said, if you want things to be resolved then normally a discussion has taken place beforehand.
