Consequences of breaking the rules!
Action can and will be taken if you break the rules, it's up to the moderators own discretion [with in reason] what the consequence will be. Generally speaking there are two consequences that can happen, these are warnings & infractions. Warnings serve as a reminder both to the member and the moderators as to the previous history (in case you do the same thing multiple times I moderator will have a record it). Infractions carry the burden of infraction 'points' where if you reach a certain amount of points you'll be infraction banned. Other consequences can be done by senior moderators, supervisors, or administrators (generally this only happens if you are a bot or releasing malicious software).

That being said, at times you may feel a moderator is targeting you, if you wish to pursue the matter you can visit the forum leader page and kindly ask a supervisor, senior moderator or administrator to review your infractions.

Hello fellow members of the Habbo Hotel Section,

You should all be aware of the moderating team's actions regarding threads and or posts that violate the rules. Please remember that it isn't completely our job to baby sit you, you have to be responsible of your actions. If you receive an infraction and or warning from the Moderating Team, a full elaborated reason as to why you were given an infraction will be sent to you prior the second the infraction was given. If you believe you've received an infraction and or warning on something you honestly didn't do, no one is stopping you from appealing said infraction/warning. You are free to notify a Super Moderator of the fault. Of course, you must provide some proof/evidence as to why your infraction should be reversed. Failure to do this will obviously have your appeal statement denied.

These are the actions a moderator is free to do in this section:

Spoiler:

1. Close a thread (with given reason upon closure of thread) for being in the wrong section and move it (*SEE #2).
2. Close a thread (with given reason upon closure of thread) for being in the wrong section and not have to move it.
3. Close a thread (with given reason upon closure of thread) for being irrelevant.
4. Close a thread (with given reason upon closure of thread) and ban said user IF committed a MAJOR OFFENSE.
5. Give an infraction to any given member at any time if they have committed an offense.
6. Give a warning to any given member at any time if they have committed an offense.
7. Delete a POST without a giving a reason to user. Moderators will most likely leave a note to fellow moderators of the section to notify them of the reason as to why the post was deleted.
8. Delete a POST with a given reason as to why it was deleted.
9. Delete a POST and BAN said user IF a serious offense.
10. Ignore a conversation regarding an infraction and or warning.

A moderator is hand picked by the current moderating team and or a Super Moderator because they believe that this individual will be responsible and uphold the rules. Moderators aren't commanded by users, they are free to do anything they wish if deemed necessary. If you believe a moderator is abusing his/her powers, feel free to contact a Super Moderator immediately! Of course, performing a false accusation will most likely earn your account a ban from the forum. So only 'snitch' on a moderator, if you think you're definitely right.

These are things that you SHOULD NOT expect a moderator to do WITHOUT TELLING THE MODERATOR TO DO IT FOR YOU:

Spoiler:

1. Move a thread (without receiving an infraction/warning) for being in the wrong section.
2. Delete a thread (without receiving an infraction/warning) for being in the wrong section.
3. Close a thread (without receiving an infraction/warning) for being filled with spam.
4. Delete a post (without receiving an infraction/warning) for violating the rules.

If you happen to spot a violation within the contents of your posts/threads, feel free to alert a moderator(s) to change it immediately. This will tell us that you are responsible enough to attempt to take care of your own faults. Doing this earlier (before a moderator sees it WITHOUT NOTICE) will excuse you for an infraction/warning.

To clarify some questions; Moderators are NOT expected to move threads for being placed in an incorrect section. It is YOUR responsibility to check what section you're posting in. It is YOUR responsibility to notify a Moderator of an accidental action you performed. Moderators are NOT responsible for baby sitting you.

Another quick note; Moderators can care less if you've had a bad day and decide to come on the forum to post your vile thoughts. It is YOUR responsibility to keep your attitude all well for everyone around the forum. It will not be used as an excuse to excuse yourself from an infraction. If you're not feeling very positive, GET OUT!

Thanks for your attention,
Mickey

• Don't post more than one help thread, as it is not necessary and you will be infracted/warned. Post your questions all in one help thread!!
  
• Be respectful to ALL Moderator's, they are here to help you, NOT look after you.
  
• Also goes for members too, be respectful to all members or you will be warned/infracted.
  
• Is a member bothering you? Report to a Moderator so it can be handled. Don't go and take action at the member or both of you will be infracted/warned.
  
• If you find anything in the wrong section, or spam - be sure to report it, so it will get taken care of. Don't post shit like "Wrong section noob" or "gtfo the forums", This is Spam and will receive an infraction or a warning.

Just a reminder;

Just because moderators don't post, don't assume we dont moderate. Over the last day I must of deleted 30+ spam posts etc, so I'd appreciate by getting messages saying we're not doing anything
