That much levelling is certainly from FCV.

We don't log FCV usage. Our usual attitude towards it is that if a player wants to modify their own account like that, that's their own business. We normally don't even consider it to be cheating since HabitRPG isn't a competitive game.

However for a child who is being taught about responsibility, I understand that the situation is different! Unfortunately there is currently no way to stop them using FCV, although staff and devs have considered methods of locking it down, and we might in future.

One thing that might help is that FCV is on the Settings screen, which has its own URL: https://habitrpg.com/#/options/settings/settings You could examine your child's browsing history to see how often that URL is visited. If you have blocking software on their computer, you might be able to block that page alone. You could also tell the child that you know for a fact that they are using FCV; it is not possible to level up that much with tasks alone. I'm sorry I don't have any better answers for you.

By the way, I don't know if you're aware, but the HabitRPG staff have a legal responsibility to block access to the site when they become aware that a child under 14 is using it, unless the child's parent has given permission. Could you please send an email to leslie@habitrpg.com about this? That's Lemoness / Leslie, our community manager, and one of the staff and co-founders. She'll explain more about this requirement.
