Bullying
- Bullying is a serious issue that is unacceptable by any individual within the Habbo Intelligence Agency. If caught bullying, consequences will be issued.
- Bullying is any gesture or written, verbal, graphic, or physical act that is reasonably perceived as being dehumanizing, intimidating, hostile, humiliating, threatening, or otherwise likely to evoke fear of physical harm or emotional distress and may be motivated either by bias or prejudice based upon any actual or perceived characteristic, such as race, colour, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression; or a mental, physical, or sensory disability or impairment; or by any other distinguishing characteristic, or is based upon association with another person who has or is perceived to have any distinguishing characteristic. Bullying and harassment also include forms of retaliation against individuals who report or cooperate in an investigation under this policy. Such behaviours are considered to be bullying or harassment whether they take place on or off HIA property, at any HIA-based websites and related pages (i.e. Discord), or in Habbo at any time or place where a member’s imminent safety or overall well-being may be at issue.
HIA considers the following types of behaviour to constitute workplace bullying behavior. Please note that this list is only meant to be exhaustive and is only offered by way of example. - Personal verbal or physical attacks directed towards an individual or group of individuals. (i.e. Name calling, usage of excessive profanity towards a person);
- Encouragement of others to turn against the targeted employee or group of employees;
- Removing Badges and Badge Admin purposely without appropriate permission or denying all Badge requests that are needed for an employee;
- Consistently ignoring or interrupting an employee in front of his/her co-workers (A member has the right to put an individual under the ignore option if within reason, e.g. bullying or spamming, however ignoring work related matters or ATT’s is not acceptable. For HIA related matters, personal disputes should be put aside and the individual can contact the member through another person if necessary.);
- Exclusion or isolation in a Special Unit or group at HIA;
- Repeated infliction of verbal abuse, such as the use of derogatory remarks, and insults;
- Conduct that a reasonable person would find hostile, offensive, and unrelated to the employee’s legitimate business interests;
- Shutting down or blatantly ignoring, diminishing or denigrating other member’s opinions, disregarding them as inferior or irrelevant;
- Having fun at expenses of another member's problems or situations that might or might not pertain to HIA related affairs and matters. (i.e. Receiving a demotion, being issued a warning, having family issues);
- Laughing at or making light of a member’s real life issues or problems. (i.e. Illnesses);
- Having and/or showing a lack of respect or making fun of any member from belonging to any kind of rank and/or division.

If any personal issues have arisen between two members, please remit to either filing a “Report a bully form” or submitting a formal case (with the proper evidence) to the Legal Affairs Unit.
- To control or influence an individual in a deceptive, unfair or unscrupulous way (i.e. Manipulation). Using one for personal conditions or immoral reasons, causing emotional or mental distress. Signs of manipulation can be identified as unreasonable guilt tripping, ignorance, undermining, forced inclusion, etc.
- Work related harassment. (i.e. Work overload, unrealistic deadlines, meaningless tasks if the individual does not get done on time will result in demotion/strike);
- Making another member feel bad or underappreciated for something they are not in immediate possession of or are not allowed access to (i.e. Discussing activities or matters that happen at the elective-general channel, using expressions that might sound condescending, such as “I am so happy to be an elective, because I don’t have to talk to this people.”)
- Harassing any member of HIA staff for the kind of work they do or the way in which they decide to do their job. (i.e. Insulting a payer for not paying you.

- Strike 2 – A demotion is issued and “x2” replaces “x1” at the end of their motto. A demotion will also be applied depending on the severity of the infraction. You may not skip Strike 1 to get to this step.
- Strike 3 – The member has failed to stop their wrongdoing after multiple warnings and consequences. They are to be terminated from HIA.
