Cyber Attack, Habbos Fight Back! [2/19/07]Cyber Attack, Habbos Fight Back! CAUSE A RIOT! Problem: Sometimes Habbo players bully, harass and behave badly to other players. When a cyberbully or gang of cyberbullies use chat that is violent or degrading upon a player, it's a cyber attack -- a Habbo Moderator's top priority. Sometimes Habbos do not fight back. The Habbo can't believe this is happening to them, so they sit there and take it, while pleading with the cyberbully to stop. The bullies aren't going to stop. They get an ego boost from harassing a vulnerable person. Becoming more vulnerable is only going to make the unpleasant experience escalate. After a merciless conversation, the crying Habbo player logs off. Then they log on two days later, go in a private room, and call a Moderator. Moderators can certainly comfort the distressed Habbo player. But with no log, they cannot take action against the offender, and therefore, the bully is free to look for another opportunity. Example: Here is an example of what one Habbo said during a cyber attack incident: Omg.... Stop It Please! *|* Crys *|* Plz Leave Me Alone Yoov Dun Enough =[ *|* Cryz *|* Plz Dont Make Me I GOTTA GO THANK GOD! Omg.. bye sorry *|* Crys *|* NO! Bye =[ The most disturbing thing about it is that the Habbo player actually apologizes to her cyberbully for having to log off! Solution: HABBOS MUST LEARN TO FIGHT BACK. Here is Habbo's Fight-Back, Self-Defense strategy for players at the moment of attack. Cause a RIOT! I GNORE the attacker: The Moderator will see the whole conversation so you don't have to watch it any longer. MOD-BabsAnne, Becs and the entire US Moderator Staff. |
