    Default Habbo mass ban 'alt' names

    My friend and I both had odd bans. The reason is something like 'HF-88884'. I have asked around and realised that years on Habbo have decided to ban all the names with spaces in. Unfortunately, if you made these on your main ID and no longer used the alt names then your main account has been permed too.

    So far, it's only names with spaces in after the exploit yesterday which I guess was posted on here?

    Is this the glitch that happened years ago? I remember making 'Samantha Walker' and it got banned but that was over 2 years ago, was it like that?

    Alt name = alt code name. Yeah Samanfa it is.

    There was a huge security exploit yesterday and furniture stolen related to it all. Was it not posted on here?

    In 2009 and 2010 you could make names on certain days with any character in. This led people to make name such as ' Jazz' with a space infront. Jazz is just an example. Yesterday, or a few days ago, these alt accounts as they're known were merged with the original. So ' Jazz' was now 'Jazz' and had access to all Jazz's furni. So say someone had made ' Michaels' all those years ago they could have stolen your furniture.

    They were all unbanned when this mishap happened too. So say ' Michaels' had been banned when it was made the ban would have gone to ' Michaels' (two spaces).

    I know someone made ' c' all those years ago and was able to steal all the furniture from the original account 'c'.

    For some reason the alt accounts only merged into the original accounts yesterday. So they've taken immediate action.

    So I presume they will all be unbanned after the issue has been fixed? Or will it be a case of them adding characters where the spaces should be, I doubt that though.

    No idea how they will fix it. If you search Jazz for example it still shows the look that was on spaceJazz - no idea how they will fix.
