A4. Do not accuse others of scamming or hacking - Because we don't want innocent people being accused of illegal activities, we don't allow accusing others at all. This means it's also NOT allowed to accuse Habbox or Habbo Staff of abusing their powers on the forum. Also posting any images of people is NOT proof of them doing anything wrong as it could be an alteration. Even if you do have proof and know its 100% real, you should PM an administrator who may be able to do something.

A5. Do not post private details or information – We do not allow you to post private information about yourself due to security concerns. Disclosing any information about another forum user without their consent is also not allowed. This includes:

Moderators, as always, will have the final say on whether a member is constantly being negative on the forums.

A11. Do not post pointlessly – A pointless post has no relevance to the topic, any previous post that is relevant, is meaningless (ghnrgher etc) or does little to contribute to the discussion. A pointless thread either has no meaning, is something posted that is not true (e.g. false story in news and rumours) or a thread that doesn't prompt a discussion (eg. post the colour of socks you're wearing). Replying to a pointless post will also be considered pointlessly posting.

If you wish to dispute a ban use the Support System. Also, you should never ignore a moderators warning, change their warnings, or open a thread they have closed.

A14. Do not give or ask for pointless reputation – Give reputation points because the post helped you or you found it funny or insightful – not because the person is your friend. It is not allowed to ask for reputation either, whether directly or indirectly.

A15. Do not bump threads - If the thread is old, make a new thread instead. You can reply to an inactive thread as long as the post contributes something worthwhile to the discussion being held at the time. This rule does not apply to stuck threads.

A16. Do not make threads titles which have no relevance to the actual post - Do not make thread with titles like "see this" or "something interesting" or something similar to these. Put a title which is relevant to the thread and not something completely different.
