[QUOTE="Weasel, post: 469153, member: 9520"] In that case, we already have a major difference in views here. Every website has rules, and the goal of those rules is to ensure you create a vibe that you want. In this case, it's a vision/strategy set by the staff team, headed by Josh. I'll break down a few of your points: So about the drop of activity in the Habbo section. This is a big one, I'll try to break it down as much as I can. The Habbo section has changed a lot over the years, and so did the opinion about the section in the Staff Team. I'm going to skip the very early beginnings of the section. However, quite a few years ago, the tone of the Habbo section changed from collaborative to toxic. This required a strict form of moderation, as active contributors were actually leaving the site. However, that's the usergroup we want to maintain. To add to that, some active contributors actually also caused a lot of arguments and fights, and being active does not exempt you from the rules. There also have been points in time where the Staff wanted to phase out the Habbo section, which also contributed to how some things were moderated. I'm sure some people might have left due to their disagreement with some actions. However, they are fully in their right to open a complaint with a staff member who is higher in rank. People have been fired from the staff team due to complaints, including myself years ago. The same goes for your claims against me. Everyone had the right to open up a complaint. Rules were, however, never "picked and chosed". One of the arguments I often heard was that some other post was not warned/deleted. Thing is, those posts were never reported. If they were, the same would have happened. It also depends on which member of staff handle the report. There is some liberty the staff can take when issueing warnings, for example.
