Hotel Bans

A Hotel Ban is a type of punishment intended for rule-breakers. When a player gets banned, they can't log into Habbo or access the hotel for a specified amount of time. The amount of time a player is banned for depends on the severity of the player's actions. Most bans for minor offenses typically last 5 hours, but if if a player has committed a more serious one, the ban may last longer.

Ban Reasons

Scamming

Scamming is the act of stealing another player's furni, coins, or account details without the owner's permission. These methods include verbal or psychological techniques such as adding players on MSN posing as staff, kicking players when they've won a game or has paid to stay, stealing passwords by offering free furni, coins, or moderator status, and promoting links to scam sites. If you get banned for scamming this can last for 11 years but it is usually a permanent ban.

Sexually Explicit Behaviour

This includes cybersex (players roleplaying sexual acts), offering furni for cybersex, discussion about sexual acts, and giving out porn URLs. In a nutshell, those engaging in a sexually explicit conversation will be banned. They are usually 5 hours in length. If there is repeated behavior, the bans will increase incrementally.

Terms and Conditions Violation

These are behaviours that violate Habbo's terms and conditions. Examples are using Habbo for illegal activities (selling drugs, child pornography, etc.), password phishing, keylogging, using third party software to disrupt the programming of the hotel, discussion about illegal activities, violent role playing, making death threats, making bomb threats, auto-typing/clicking, disclosing or sharing or posting confidential Sulake information on the web or via email or any electronic or printed form, underage Habbo players, etc. These bans are often permanent bans and the police may be contacted.

Types of bans

Permanent

A Permanent ban, commonly called a perm or to be permed, is basically a ban in which the time limit is permanent; though despite the name being "permanent", most bans are usually 11-12 years long but after tht period of time, the player is most likely no longer interested in Habbo. Many bans last until 2022, and most players simply create a new account and continue playing. Some players, when creating a new account, will make their username their banned account's name with a "BAN" suffix (i.e. MyusernameBAN).

IP ban

An IP ban is when a player's IP address is blocked. The player cannot access their account using their main internet browser or computer. However this does have some complications as players can use Proxy servers or other computers to access their Habbo accounts, therefore IP bans usually have a permanent ban on the accounts.

Ban losses

• The account owner will not have access to your furniture until the ban is over.
• The account's Habbo Home will not be accessible.
• VIP still decreases even if the account is banned.

What's still available

• All rooms that were unlocked and can be accessed will still be there.
• If the user hasn't been IP banned (or have bypassed the IP ban) they can create another account.
• Any groups that were owned on the banned account will.
