They posed as an year old girl, and multiple sexual encounters were made, including webcam requests. Habbos in the community showed their support by equipping candles and standing in formations in rooms, with the Welcome Lounge being a popular choice, and occasionally the Theatredrome. Habbos entering the Welcome Lounge were given a poll to take about the events and their opinions and feedback.
They were given a badge for their support, and some were given trophies. Following The Great Mute, Habbo introduced a new room moderation feature. This allows a user with rights or a group admin in the room to mute a user for a selected time if the room moderation settings allow for it. Originally Posted by Skizzling.

Habbo's main feature is the "Hotel", and consists of a client made using Adobe Flash technologies. The Hotel can be accessed by logged-in users via the Habbo Homepage. When a user accesses the Hotel they are brought to a screen colloquially known as Hotel View.
From this screen, members can contact one another via the Habbo Chat , which acts as the main form of communication throughout all areas of the Hotel, and use the Navigator to navigate their way to a chat room. Originally, communication was conducted through the Habbo Console , which was recently replaced by Habbo Chat and by Habbo Mail , which is accessible via the Habbo Homepage. Public Rooms are rooms which are available to all members.
They often depict scenes such as restaurants, cinemas, and dance clubs. Most Public Rooms contain automated robots which shout pre-recorded messages and can give members drinks and food items. Public rooms are designed by Sulake and are not customizable by users. Some rooms used to contain games called Battle Ball, SnowStorm, Wobble Squabble and diving, but these games were removed due to coding issues when they upgraded from Shockwave to Flash.
In June , most Official rooms were removed from the hotel. Bots are now much less commonly seen. By buying certain furni, players can build their own rooms for other players to play these games.
Guest Rooms are special rooms which users can customize to endless lengths with Habbo Furni, wallpaper and floor patterns, which can be purchased with credits. Users can also choose from a range of room templates that determine what shape the room is. Guest rooms can be created by any member and can be locked to allow access only to specific users or password holder.
Many users create their own games in their guest rooms, which give furniture or coins as a prize. These rooms are categorized on the navigator in many categories such as "Trading", "Parties", and "Role Playing". Users can interact with the pets, which will obey certain commands as long as they are kept happy and fed. Users can access games made by Habbo to earn achievement badges and furniture prizes. In , all three games were removed in preparation for the hotel's move from the Shockwave to the Flash client.
There were two types of currency on Habbo. Credits or coins which are used to buy furniture in the catalogue and Pixels free currency, you get 10 every 15 minutes where you can buy effects and 'Hello Furni' furniture similar to a new user's "starter" furni Also, seasonally themed currencies E.
Credits, also called Coins on some hotels can be purchased using a variety of different services, such as credit card , a telephone service, a Ukash card and via SMS. They can also be redeemed into Exchange , which displays the Credits as an item of virtual furniture; the furniture can then be traded among users, and redeemed back into Credits.
Features of Habbo Club membership include a badge, new selections for a player's avatar, new room designs, and a free piece of furni exclusive to club members every month. In April , a new group called VIP was implemented, which has upgraded many of the features of HC, and costs more credits. Pixels, now outdated, were introduced in November Unlike credits, they are not purchased with real money, and cannot be traded in any form. They are given out when users satisfy certain conditions such as logging in, being friendly, etc.

Pixels were removed from Habbo on 25 June Sulake also works with child safety organisations and local police forces to address inappropriate behaviour. As well as working within the Habbo online community, Sulake actively contributes to campaigns like Insafe and Safer Internet Day [ 45 ] on relevant user safety issues and collaborates in more than 30 charitable partnerships around the world to educate teens about a wide range of topics including safe internet use, the dangers of drugs, bullying etc.
Automatic moderation exists in Habbo's language filter, the "Bobba Filter", which replaces offensive text with the simple word "bobba". Replacement applies to anything from mild to highly offensive words, phrases, and websites. A feature added on February 27, , enables users to turn the Bobba Filter on and off; with this feature enabled, however, users should not report to moderators any other users who may be using offensive language unless it's harassment of any kind.
From August to 31 December , there existed a program for experienced members of each Habbo community to become a 'Hobba'. Hobbas were non-paid, volunteer moderators with limited powers that acted as Hotel Guides. One tweeted: "Habbo Hotel has always been full of paedophiles.
Avoiding them was part of the game. Retailers WH Smith, Game and Tesco have announced that they have taken the Habbo gift card off sale, pending further investigation. In the game, players, using avatars, move from room to room, chat to other users and furnish their rooms using credits. Posing as an year-old girl, a Channel 4 News producer said she had witnessed "very sexual, perverse, violent, pornographic" chats.
Rachel Seifert spent two months on Habbo and said after she took part in online chats, she had quickly found herself in the middle of conversations of extremely explicit sexual nature. John Carr, a consultant on child internet safety acknowledged that some children will know how to use online services.
