It's really iffy, I mean, you can't blame Habbo for everything. The KIDS are sending the messages. Not HABBO STAFF. KIDS are sending the messages, weither they are sexual or anything. I mean, their messages are opinion. Unless it's a straight fact. You may say "he so gay" but he may not be. Opinions opinions opinions. Why are you thinking "NOT APPROPRIATE" if you think it isn't appropriate, ban your kids from it. And it isn't everyone. I've been on habbo before, several time actually, and I see nothing wrong with the stuff. (not including the messages) Guys(some)try to get girls on there, which I find rather stupid, I mean, we call people names, but it's because we have a good reason to. If you had a kid that was always asking "what is this?" and stuff, would you not get annoyed, and if they were always asking "who wants to date".
habbo is a place where you can make a virtual you, but the thing is that there is what too many bad language, too sexual, and too much drugs drinking and smoking
I have went on this site. The problem is, there are rooms that people create. There are themes that you can label them. There are these "love" rooms that have to do with sex. So i went into one, and there were nonstop dirty stuff spilling out of people's mouthes. This one girl said "Who wants to f*** me" If you are under fifteen, dont go on this site.
Okay, where do I start? You can say WHATEVER you want to people without any consiquences (excuse my spelling). I went on this site, and there was so much innapropriate things on there, it basically ruined my childhood. There was user-made places labeled "beds", "gays/bis/lezbo's here", "s*x party", and more. Tons upon tons of online dating, also. This is just completely obscene, this site. I should've listened to it when it said "TEENS ONLY!". I've seen people have sex over the internet on this website. I won't say, but in one issue I've seen, the word "suck" is involved. Do NOT go on this site unless you are 15 or older.
If the kid using the site is mature then go ahead, let them.
It's not the sites fault for the laungage being used. There are "ignore" buttons for when people are cussing, fighting or being rude in general and there are MODs which they can call for using the blue question mark. I've been using Habbo for about a year now and I've had HC [didn't win coins but bought them] but I found it more fun to just participate in chats and just have fun. If you just ignore the mean people then you can have a great day. The real problem are new-bee's thinking that everyone does vertual drugs, vertual cursing, and vertual sex. Most of them are probably 9-11. My sister is 10 and she thought the same thing. I sat her down and told her other wise and now she really enjoys it. Dont give it bad rating for the kids, the site does all it can.
This site is OK but there is a lot of guys going around looking for cyber sex but there are some good things. You can play games but there are scammers who are just trying to steal your coins. The owner has started to invite music guests to answer questions. It's fun but not good for younger kids.
Love the game! Its really fun! But you have to pay to be a proper member and buy cooler stuff and clothes!
But you can go to other peoples rooms. You type in a word such as 'disco' or 'adoption center' or even 'plane' and it comes up with different rooms made by other users.
The goodthing is, It may not be a strong filter but you can ban people from the room or kick them out, (if you are the owner or have been give rights (you can give rights to your friends so they can ban or kick people out )) or report them to the habbo hotel team!
Chat, meet people, make your avatar look like whatever you want them to look like, and have fun!!!
I Play on Habbo and im only 10. If someone says a bad word i click the shut up button and report for foul language. My name is Anthony101Fan. Add me as a friend and we can talk about making a saftey group. It sometimes teaches you to express yourself to others.
Played this when I was about 7 or 8, too much profanity, racism, sexual behavior, etc.
Also, what some users said here were funny about the pedo things.
OH! ONE LAST THING
If you DO decide to play, be sure to when you visit the pools, ignore the guys with afros, suits, and yell "POOLS CLOSED DUE TO AIDS!" Some others might use excessive "!!1!!one!!!!eleven!!1" at the end of that. :)
i havent acctually logged on there and i dont have an account but one of my freinds have one and shes always talking to me about how she got a new boyfreind and you can curse and "do" other stuff.
Yeah fun for a while but gets kind of stupid there's a place called a Adoption where you get kids? And you adopt them but there just "Hwabbo Bwabies" As they say THERE SCAMMERS!!!!! im giving away my account anyway so who wants it? 13 AND UP! Yeah i really doesnt censor much stupid habbo >.<
Habbo is extremely fun to play and features users getting creative, making schools, hospitals, mansions, and more. However, this is overshadowed by users asking if you have MSN video chat, to exchange inappropriate pictures. Players can lay on beds, including double beds, and have sex. The chat filter is OPTIONAL.
I hope this helps people.
It is a very "physco" world. There is too many sex engagements and foul language, and the game charges too much for things like Credits. They may have free Offers, but they don't get many credits. They could spend them only on lodge stools and very useless and disappointing things! I may be 9 years old, but I have been trained well for 6 years on a laptop.
well i have an account and there are so many people saying almost cusses like fck and $$$$ and rooms like be gay room there is like 5 rooms like that im glad its thirteen it should be and little kids should not lie bout their age there is a reason they put ages on vitaul wourlds
I play on Habbo quite a bit and I like the site, it is a "hangout for teens". But what goes on in this hotel might not be for teens.
GOOD
EDUCATIONAL VALUE: None really. You may come across someone from another country and pick up some of their language. But probably not. 0/5.
POSITIVE MESSAGES: None. 0/5.
PRIVACY OR SAFETY: THE MODERATORS DO NOTHING. I had to report someone for being racist and the moderators don't help. They just say "If someone is bothering you, move to another room". They don't care and don't ban like they used to. FIX THIS. 0/5.
BAD
VIOLENCE: Some people go on and say "Robs" etc. or "Shoots". People don't really die though. 2/5.
S-X: Many sexy rooms like "S-NGLES CLUB!!!" or "G-Y CLUB" and other rooms to do with s-x. Sometimes users climb on to double beds and say "Has s-x." Habbos can't actually have s-x though. 3/5.
LANGUAGE: Big problem. Users can easily get around filter by adding extra letters to curses. E.g. Adding extra "u" to Fu-k, Extra I to bi-ch and worse of all, extra "a"s to the n-word. This is offensive and despite live moderators watching over, they hardly help. 5/5.
PRODUCT PLACEMENT: Some ads, generally to do with cyber-bullying and the environment. 1/5.
DRINKING, DRUGS OR SMOKING: In some "fridges", users can get out cider and drink it. Other then that, nothing much. Of course, Habbos can type "Smokes cigar" and the like, even though they can't in the game. 1/5.
OVERALL: What can I say. Fun game spoilt by users with foul mouths and lazy moderators - what are they thinking at Sulake? Other then language, what users attempt to do (e.g. have s-x) can't really happen. Despite this, it's inappropriate for children. Only go on if you know a lot about the world.
this game is awsom i play it all the time you can decorate your house,got to partys,and hang with friends in bars but nothing else you cant dink beer or have sex so it cand do anything bad.
Don't let little kids go on here! 14+ and that's it!
I've been playing Habbo for a good 4 years. (Since I was 10, now I'm 14) And I must say.... that site is NOT for kids. I mean the amount of racism and cursing that's on there is just wayyyy too much. I never used to curse before I was on Habbo. Now I curse 24/7. There are really some great people there... you just have to watch out for the people that want to cyber, and ask to go on cams, etc. Habbo is p
