Our Promise

I've been hanging out in Gay rooms on Habbo for a long time. From Iceh's Yard on .co.uk, to Scottie's Sanitarium on .com, to my very own GAY LES BI - FABULOUS! on .com, to its counterpart here on .ca, with various others in between. What I hate most is being treated poorly by the owner or moderators. In my room, I demand respect not only for myself but for all Habbos -- that's our promise. We're nice, fair and we'll treat you respectfully. Many of the rules I've put in place mirror that sense of respect I have for you. Hopefully, we'll get the same in return. :-)

I hope you enjoy my room and make it a loyal hang out of yours! Get to know me and the mods and make plenty of friends!

RIGHTS

Rights currently cost 2 HC sofas. I usually only like accepting pures but if you have really cool furni that isn't HC sofas, I may accept it but it will be more like 2.5-3 HC worth. I hold the right to NOT give rights to someone I don't want to give them to, even if they're willing to pay. Please speak to me in the room if you want to buy rights.

Since the rights sticky keeps being cleared, I have a really crappy idea of who actually has rights. If you have rights and you are not on this list, please just let me know and I'll add your name.

a. storm                      n. disconnected
b. worse                      o. photonegative
c. joshie-boy               p. toallthebrokenhearts
d. girth                        q.
e. screaming               r.

Rules for RIGHTS HOLDERS

Firstly, allow me to preface this section by saying this: I thank you all for moderating my room and informing me of any problems that may happen. Without you I would not be able to maintain the room and would not enjoy it as much as I do, either. I consider a lot of you to be my friends and I respect you -- and I hope vice versa is in effect.

However, as you may or may not notice, from time to time we struggle to maintain decorum amongst the moderators of the room. This upsets me. Therefore, I'd like to remind each of you that when you bought rights, you did not buy them "permanently" as some Habbos have been quoted as saying. In fact, I hold the right to remove your rights permanently if I see it fit to do so -- and I have done this, as many of you know. However, without getting specific, you probably also know that it takes quite a bit to actually lose your rights. But it has been done and I will not hesitate to do it again if need be. 

With that said, I'd like to compile a list below, noting certain conditions and policies which you are charged with as moderators in my room: 

1. Absolutely no kick, aside from gay bashing, is to go without a warning. The Habbo who is breaking the rules must be warned at least once (though I'd prefer more than once, truthfully) before being kicked. 
2. You are absolutely forbidden from kicking a Habbo more than once for the same thing. Essentially, you are not permitted to repeatedly kick a Habbo to prohibit him/her from entering the room. If a Habbo breaks the rule once, he/she is to be warned, if he/she breaks that rule again, he/she is to be kicked. He or she may re-enter the room, and if he or she continues to break the rule aforementioned, he/she is to be warned and then subsequently kicked again if he/she does not adhere to the warning. Repeat this process. 
3. I have received several questions pertaining to moving furni in the room. Truthfully, it doesn't bother me at all if you move furni -- if and only if you put it back. If I find that furni isn't returned to its spot when you're finished then this rule may change, but until then it does not bother me. 
4. There have  been several questions pertaining to the VIP door. Frankly, I am undecided on this issue. I feel as though any Habbo -- with or without rights -- should be allowed into the VIP. However, I also notice that paying for rights should grant you the privilege of being in the VIP. From here, I'm going to allow those with rights to decide for themselves if they let someone without rights into the VIP. HOWEVER, if someone without rights is ALEADY IN the VIP, they are NOT to be kicked. I am NOT granting you the right to kick non-moderators from the VIP, but granting you the right to not open the door. If a Habbo you don't wish to let into the VIP is blocking the VIP door, you do not have the right to kick him or her as you can simply move a piece of furni to get into the VIP. You do not have the right to kick a Habbo for asking to be in the VIP, regardless of how persistent he or she is. 
5. Kicking for mindless reasons like "he was sitting in my seat," "i didn't agree with his ideas" or "he wouldn't stop dancing in front of me" is NOT acceptable.
6. I've noticed that a few moderators have a problem with getting banned from Habbo for lengthly times such as 30 days. Often, a banned moderator will ask for rights on his or her banned account. I do not like to do this because I've done it before and it's come to bite me in the ass. That being said, if you want to buy rights for your temporary account, you may do so, and I will only charge you HALF the price of rights. So, at this point, rights being 2 HC, if you want rights on your banned account if you are banned, I will give them to you for 1 HC. 
7. I truly disagree with permanently banning Habbos from my room. I don't like doing it unless it's absolutely necessary. That being said, please do not take it upon yourself to fabricate a "banned sticky". If I ban someone from the room I'll update it on this site -- don't go just by a sticky in the room as many people have access to them. 
8. I also have no problem with people putting their own sticky or photos on the walls. However, I ask that you put them in spots that at least don't make the room look like shit. If it happens to get covered by furni in a new layout, I apologize.
9. I encounter many comments about the look of my room. Some people say it looks like a grandmother's living room, and I'd have to agree. But I like it. While I do accept any  constructive criticism of the room (and I do so often) please don't take it upon yourself to redesign my room, lol.
10. Keep drama minimal. (That's simple enough, right? :P)
11. Pertaining to KingHarquid/PrinceHarquiln or whatever it is -- you are to allow him into the room until he starts to attack people personally or starts to gay bash. One he starts this, you are allowed to kick him without warning. As of yet, this is the only Habbo I'm allowing this rule to pertain to.

That's all I can think of for now. Please note that if you break these rules, chances are I'm just going to take you off to the side and be a colossal bitch to you, and give you a warning. After a warning or two though, I'm going to remove your rights. Please don't make me do that!

Also, if you see someone breaking rules, please let me know! It also helps if you have a screen shot of it, which I'd be more than willing to look at. I'm always open to talking about things, I promise! Even if I do come off as a prick, I'm really not! 

Room rules -- for ALL Habbos

I like to keep the rules pretty basic but it seems unfortunately that moderators of the room need a little more guidance. So, to avoid confusion as to what I think is worthy of kicking a Habbo from the room -- or to avoid being kicked -- here are the rules for the room as I see fit! :)

Bare in mind that our policy is that EVERY Habbo who breaks the rules be warned at least once before being kicked, unless otherwise noted:

1. Gay bashing will not be tolerated. (warning is not necessary for gay bashers).
2. Engaging in explicit sexual behavior is not acceptable.
3. Directly attacking a Habbo personally is not tolerated. I do not mind a detailed and passionate discussion -- in fact, I love them! -- but when it becomes personal it isn't acceptable. Likewise, if a Habbo wishes to stop an argument with a Habbo he or she is arguing with, I ask that both Habbos stop arguing. 
4. No asking for cam.
5. As you may or may not know, Blends and Reclusive are both banned from the room. If a Habbo should persistently try to persuade Habbos out of my room and into hers, he or she will be kicked with one warning beforehand. 
6. Furthermore, flooding is annoying to everyone, please don't. 
7. Vulgar language is tolerated to a certain extent -- at times, I'm known for using it myself -- but I think we all know when we exceed what is and what isn't acceptable. Be mindful of this. 


And overall maturity is honoured!  Please act only moderately obnoxious ;). 
Most of all, though, have fun!

Welcome!

Hey!

I figured that since the stickies continue to be erased in my room, that I should start some sort of permanent document with all that information on it -- along with information that you may find useful as either a Habbo or as a Moderator in the room. Please read all posts and check back regularly to ensure that you don't miss any critical information, as I will add any updates here! 

Until next time! Stay gay! ;)
