Apparently people can't see the redbox enough so here's my idea, before you can talk in the SB, there's arrows blocking the shoutbox pointing to the big red box, and once you click a button (something like accept or whatever) the arrows go away and you can see. Maybe everytime you load the SB it opens, or it pops up every 24 hours.

I agree on both.
A better thing could be just like what happens when you say a rival forum's name, but instead of bleeping it out, it just doesn't say it at all, and a box ops up saying "No habbo talk in the shoutbox, read the red box!"

@RastaLulz I think this is a better idea than either of the previous ones because it's not intrusive to the other users and there's no risk of people getting power hungry @Wess

Members banning other members is "never" going to happen. The red box is visible to see enough to get the message across.

Here are my ideas;

Place the red warning box on top of the shoutbox. (After looking back at it, it's still easy to read).
Filter Habbo from being written in the shoutbox.
Remove Habbo from our sections replace with official minecraft, give gaming a bigger spotlight.


Bye bye Habbo and other annoying spam.

Vouch for Kryptos's suggestion.

The red box might be visible but the amount of habtards not following the warning is far out of a hand, and with no online staff, it's a mess, there aren't enough staff online all the time to keep track of the newfags spamming the shit out of the shoutbox or speaking of habbo-related stuff and so on (just like yesterday and pretty much all the time)...

Agreed, there isn't much we can do apart from just ban when we're online. Reporting members with screen shots, We have American staff and English staff so there should be staff online almost 24/7 really. Roughly what time does this normally occur?

No matter what the reason is members will never have commands inside the shoutbox is what I'm trying to rule out.

Yesterday about 1AM I think, some fag started spamming the shoutbox with threads about his forum and also making loads of threads advertising it (I already reported it, yes, it's the report you just resolved), the only staff online was Legion and he couldn't do anything because the dude wasn't posting in his section.

Suppose that's normal banter for a forum. We'll always have tards spamming no matter how many staff/power we have.
