Talk:Habbo/Archive 7

message: Alas, the first IP edit in a while. Protection was recently removed from the article because the reason given: "time". Keep an even closer eye on this article, as the amount of vandalism is sure to increase. –sebi 07:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I do agree with the unprotection. It had been protected for... 5 months? Still, we'll just keep an eye on it, and if they start vandalising it again, then it's their loss when it gets protected again. --Dreaded Walrus  t c 12:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protection removed 

message: What a pity, this habbo people are just looking for our children's money, our money. As a father of 2 children, I do know how easy is for them to be registered without parental permission and in their ignorancy buy credits by phone. Despite the habbo's claim that buying is limited to 25 Euros per week, my phone's bill was charged with more than 300 Euros in just one month. That's the crude reality. Please be aware of this.
best regards
:That's unfortunate for you. You might try actually monitoring your children's actions on the computer or restricting their access. How is this related to the article? The internet is not a babysitter, just like Wikipedia is not a forum. SpigotMap 15:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Do we really need to mention Club Penguin in the "Reviews, awards and criticism" section?
"In Habbo Hotel, a player's status is achieved through real-life currency, as opposed to other massively multiplayer online games such as Club Penguin, where this status is achieved through playing the game."

replies: text: Yes, because Club Penguin is a perfect example of an MMOG that player status is achieved through gameplay, rather than a player's status in Habbo Hotel, which is achieved through purchasing credits using real-life money. –sebi 05:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the article is clear enough as it is, without giving the reader more to research. Chugger1992 05:40, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And what exactly do you mean by that, Chugger? –sebi 05:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I mean that the article is clear without mentioning Club Penguin. Throwing that in there just gives the reader more to look into. If you ask me, this is just a pointless reference that does nothing but confuse people. Chugger1992 05:48, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. Don't add it again unless you cite a reliable source that says that. SpigotMap 05:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

text: You're comparing it to another game, that falls under original research and/or fan speculation unless someone notable said it. Cite it or it needs to go. SpigotMap 06:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've wrapped it in html comment tags (). I honestly thought it was a good contribution to the article, however, I was wrong. –sebi 22:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Might want to look at removing the line about getting around the bobba filter. That part of the section is unsourced as it is, no use adding something like that to it. SpigotMap 04:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bobba filter 

message: * Habbo China closes down.

replies: text: Source, and... the news source, rather than the attached video would be preferable. –sebi 22:09, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Additionally, I believe that some specific mention of the malicious "Pool's Closed" raid on Habbo Hotel by members of the 4chan community should be present in this article. Creationlaw 20:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Raids are mentioned under critisms. 4chan is not mentioned in the source and can not be used. All that can be said has been said in the article. SpigotMap 20:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
