Anonymous Gifting Removed!

[Samantha]

Someone sent an invite about this yesterday so I checked and they're right, for some reason anonymous gifting has been removed:



I was talking to @Jam; about it and he said it would mean those scammers who give sites and stuff like that over gift will not happen anymore! In a way I can see why they've done it, but I liked the ability to gift someone anonymously for that added surprise and mystery.

What are your thoughts on this?

Awh it's a shame because you can't surprise someone but it at least it should stop spammers!

You could always create an account called HabboxFairy or something

In terms of removing the feature, doesn't make sense to me but I am sure there is a logical reason.

Bit crap removing a feature really but I'm I surprised? Not at all.

True actually!

It's most probably to stop people sending the scam sites like you've been named hottest habbo etc so people don't fall for it and lose their accounts

That problem will still exist though. The only difference is you can tell who has sent you a present - Unless they have done additional changes.

Yeah but from Habbo's perspective they'll be able to see who sent them and ban them?

Having said that they must have tracking actually even with anonymous presents, maybe it's to like encourage people to report the scammers so they don't have to be on the lookout themselves? Idk, just thinking

Habbo should have been able to track presents in the backend either way. I would have thought that would have been all logged - The anonymous part was just a front-end feature for us players.

They probably use the excuse 'we can't moderate the messages that are sent' so if you see who sent it that makes it easier. That was the reason for the removal of Guest Books and Minimail anyway.

They can't really moderate what anyone says other than the filter which should extend to gifts anyway??

Haven't you been able to avoid filter on presents for a whole anyway or am i making that up?

If nothing else it lets Habbo's know who's trying to scam them so they're more likely to report said scammer and Habbo don't have to go searching to find them...
