What changes should we make to the forum rules?

[dbgtz]

Sure as long as we crack down more on slander and open trolling *+*+*

Looks like you'd be one of the first then

hahahahaha fj that was funny

A change that could be introduced is having the Forum Manager actually manage the forum, and keeping those with exceptionally large noses out of his role. You know, ones that ban things without notifying members and generally lacking the intelligence to know what is and isn't offensive, and also for listening to a small number of members who also lack the intelligence to know what is and isn't offensive, to save huge arguments which make them look stupid.

Sounds like an acceptable change.

Come off it, almost everything will offend somebody.

Oh and here I was thinking what's offensive is subjective to the individual. I don't care about the flag he had in his signature, doesn't bother me in the slightest. People need to realise though that this is a forum which has rules and whilst everyone loves the idea of free speech the reality is people do get offended by others. The forum managers end goal is to encourage users to post around the forum, not to protect our freedoms.

Why demean the forum by the ignorance of a few? I think management bullying members is disgusting, especially when they put their ego before intelligence. If they accept they are wrong, good. But don't encourage stupidity by continuing down a road of ignorance.

Also, Undertaker was a heavy poster. Now with him being bullied out of the forum, they have one less member to post. So it's a lose-lose.

Yes I have one change I'd love to see implemented

let's stop posting passive aggressive things in the "What changes should we make to the forum rules?" just to make our point now that the thread we were posting in before has been closed

Right but we don't even know who reported him. They could be randomers who signed up just to complain for all we know and they're not going to post more than him. I feel we should follow Habbo and just encourage users to ignore others (hiding sigs, avatars or blocking users outright which I think can be done). Anyone could literally be offended by anything and I think this is a poor decision because of that.

Also a slightly unrelated point, I find it funny that Zitrones post of the ISIS flag was removed but mines still there lmao. Oh it's also funny that the thread was closed.

forum change: the rep limit

That's actually a good change, I haven't seen anything changed under Phil's reign (no offence Phil) and I can't help but wonder whether that's due to overly controlling management (that also includes co-owners for those with a victim complex).

The fact is Habbox is HabboxForum now for the most part, but it'll always stay that way as long as most of the management focus on the forum itself. If you had management span out further and look towards Habbo and improving the site, you may find you get an increase in users that way. Leave the Forum Manager to manage the forum, else just do away with the job and have GM, AGMs and Co-owners manage it themselves. Do we still have an Assistant Forum Manager by the way? I assume not as it'd be harder to puppeteer two people.

Problem is though you've recommended it at a time when people are overly salty about what's happened to Dan, so a good idea is going to be marked by hissyfitting (as demonstrated above my post).
