"Admin wants you to view a thread before you can continue browsing the forum"

[Recursion]

Hey,

Loads of people will probably disagree but lately what has been with all the needless forced thread views?

I don't particularly want to vote in a thread about my age, if I did I would go and look in the section my self for example, and over the passed few days there seems to have been an increase in them.

[Alkaz]

A lot of people might want to read about something which might get bumped over and they dont realise is there. I dont think it is that much of a big deal to go to the thread and carry on from there if you read it or not.

[Drewar]

Some of them (such as the one about an amendment being made to a rule) are important and I can understand why the whole forum would be forced to see it... however I can totally see where the OP is coming from.

I only came back to Habbox Forum 3 days ago and I've had to go through at least 3 of these forced messages.. definitely getting a bit annoying IMO.

well they want everyone to take part if you don't want to then just click off it but it's better that peoples attention is drawn to it to get max participation. Also everything that is happening on those thread is vital for us to contribute to or read. They don't just whack them there for the jokes!

Hmm I don't really think the one announcing the updates to the filter was necessary.

Forced threads suck and i will view a thread if i want too unless its super important liek the time when we had the spam/scam advertisements but things like how old are you and oh new word in filter are just not necessary, please stop them or give us the option to turn it off!

If you need to make us read something then just do the notice's that you do at least we see them but they don't force us to view something when im reading a thread or something. If it is at the top of the Forum Index i will see it without it annoying me.

That announcement was more so for the second part, as some users were abusing the rule and I saw that as the most effective way of getting a message across, reminding everyone else at the same time.

Threads arent often force read, but it's hardly a nuisance.

[Jordy]

Most effective way perhaps but I don't think it would harm putting it as an announcement and then people would find out for themselves that they're filtered. If they then break the rules or question it, they could be linked to the announcement.

It's beginning to get to the point where it is a nuisance. In my opinion a feature like that should only reserved for very important things (Like it was done in the past) and then people will pay close attention to it. If it's kept being used for things which don't interest people, then people may just skip over them.

It's annoying if you click to view a thread, and that show's up, and you forget what thread you wanted to see lol

[Meanies]

i was going to make a thread on this but it was too much effort so didnt

it'd be better if like you werent actually forced to read it. just a message comes up telling you the title of the thread and a link to it or else you can just ignore it and do whatever
or just use the notice thing at the top of the forum for it
