I am kinda on the fence on this one. T bad jokes and all of the pointless garbage needs to go, the overly used things like "Injects with AIDS" being posted in every thread needs to stop. The thing is that you cannot get TOO strict on them or it will cause a larger problem than it already is. The common blam filter evasions also need to go, it is a rule and should be obeyed no matter the intent, its a rule for a reason. The sig thing I really dont mind, to understand the rather obvious meaning of imagry like that someone must have some knowlege of it already, so it as over the top as other things. As for the in post sigs, why not just put them in your REAL signature

This is exactly what I'm referring to. The "AIDS group" follows each other around and immediatly post after the others adding to the spam and increasing off topic garbage. The third is what I mean when I say 1 off topic post can really effect a thread. One person says something about another so they feel the need to respond and a conversation about AIDS and a mailbox develops in numerous threads.

Exactly what I was trying to attack but some members came in here and turned the whole discussion upside down to make me look like I'm the bad one. *cough*Impurity*cough*

Same here I am on the fence as well on the issue....I do believe a topic should stay on topic and there shouldn't be random nonsense that derails it....but as for bypassing the -blam!- filter well....I believe it is a rule but it should only be so strictly enforced if a member is bypassing it constantly or bypassing it to say a "really" offensive term...thats what as I think and as for signatures...well I am not so sure about that one....I am gonna be in the middle on that issue...

Let me remind you why I feel your "new sig" is wrong.
It provides ideas that are s3xual. And notice how I need to bypass the blam filter. (my apologies to the mods) I feel if the words an4l, and s3xual are blammed I think imagery of the idea should be banned.
But of course you can't blam the use of parentheses and circles so if a mod sees the image they should PM the member and tell them their sig is in violation of the rules of the Bungie.net forums and if they do not comply they will be blacklisted.
I know what you are thinking. What if he never got on to see the message? Well I thought of that. Look at their last time they logged on. It says it in their profile and if they do not get on in the next week or so Achronos should be able to edit their signature.

This is the most ridiculous post in this thread.

Let the mods do their job. Trust me you couldn't do it better, and wouldn't want to even if you were given the chance. Imagine all the s'hit they have to put up with..... It mainly comes from f'ucks like you.

Stupid posts in the Flood? Seriously?

Even though I find it hard to believe, your all just going to have to calm yourself, dry your eyes, and move on with life.

It will be hard, I know that much, but if we all band together we can get through this.


On a serious note, what kind of conversations were you expecting to get from 14 years old kids?

I am not in anyway telling the mods how to do their jobs. I am just giving an example of how they can stop the inappropriate phrases, quotes, words and imagery being placed in people's sigs.
Also there is no need to bypass the profanity filter to insult somebody who hasn't done or said anything to you. I just want the forums to be a cleaner and better place.

Also, moderators I have made the profanity he has insulted me with bold. Can you edit them out from his post and then when done so edit them out of mine. Or blacklist him if necessary.

Ahh, a sarcastic, response lacking wit... and coming from a troll. How familiar is this? The lack of intelligent thought or reason spews forth in a pointless demeaning post. Good job


Thank You!

What I'm saying is that The Flood is what the Flood is. It has always been that way. I'm sorry if it isnt always to your liking. The mods do thier job when they need to. Just because something isn't to your liking doesnt mean it should be banned, etc.

People are always stating how stupid the new members are, but there have always been stupid members. The difference with this new batch is that theyre stupid but feel compelled to throw a tantrum everytime something happens that they dont like.

Just because there are members who wouldnt know humor even if it was disguised as a 2x4 to the crotch doesnt mean we should all suffer through dry and humorless post upon post.

Besides, you are just as guilty as posting pointless (usually egocentric) off-topic comments as anyone here.

One the first day, Bungie made the Underground. And Bungie beheld the Underground, and it was good.

On the second day, Bungie made the Library, and filled it with few, but intelligent individuals, and saw that they were good. And so the Library was good.

On the third day, Bungie made New Mombasa and Zanzibar, Bungie saw that New Mombasa was good, and sent Zanzibar away.

On the fourth day, Bungie made the Optimatch forum and filled it with debaters. And the debaters were good, and so Optimatch was good.

On the fifth day Bungie created The Classifieds, the Gallery, the Voting Booth, and the News, the Maw forum, and the Halo 3 forum. And left them to be, and they were good.

On the sixth day Bungie created The Septagon, and it was good, but the subjects, bungie saw, were often repeated and close-minded.

So on the seventh day Bungie created The Septagon's sister forum, the Flood. Bungie saw that the execution of it's intended purposes were fulfilled.
And to those who disagreed with The Flood, Bungie told them,
"Worry not, about what you see and hear your fellows do, let their wrongs be punished, their rights go rewarded, and their persons un judged. For The Flood is the son of freedom, and those who would deny it of its intended rights must adapt, or disband."
And it was so, That on the Seventh day, Bungie created the Flood.

And Bungie saw that the Flood was good.

C'mon Killa, you bypassed the blam filter at least 3-4 times on this very thread. Stop with the Flood bashing and let the ninjas do their job.

This thread should be locked. All I've seen for the past two pages is flames.

^^^Which is why it should be a bannable offense... just make a rule number 11. Not attention whoring

...said the girl with that picture in her sig.
Tell me, is that picture not a scream for "GIVE ME ATTENTION!!"

There is nothing wrong with being an attention whore...just as long as rules aren't being broken.

because normally, a girl wouldnt use all those big words you've said so far.


Haha again I ask, are you joking me?? Paulster how in the world can you allow yourself to differentiate between a male or female solely on the vocabulary they use!?

If we're going to go down that road, I'd venture forth a guess that women will sound more intelligent than men in these forums. But we're not going there, so I won't say that... >.>

Steering back to a page or so ago, ladies and gentlemen I voiced a question there - could someone (preferrably bannana) answer it please? Bannana I asked you about the subject of typing out actions. You then proceeded to ignore it, but claim I was simply being a flamer and didn't read the thread. Do take your own advice and go read up on it yourself before you make another post.

*Patiently Awaits*

EDIT: nvm... I'm just letting this go.

it screams prepubescent. she wouldn't know what to do with it if the chiquita banana girl herself was to give direction.

stuff like that makes me think twice about being a father...

How many times did Miss Bananna Hammock scream to me that she wasn't a hypocrite?
*sigh*
I often get tired of being right.

So I didnt actually speak out against anything I am guilty of. I have never talked about people having bad sigs at all, i simply talked about off topic posting and random garbage. Now, do you remember where people were talking about groups getting together to cause problems?

I think spaulding has just proven my point. Posting flamebait for no reason, especially when you havent read any of my posts. Please, go back to the flood as nobody appreciates flaming and nonsense here.


Are you joking me???

For all of you who just said I need to go read the thread, please tell me how I could have posted my first post in here without reading it. I even provided QUOTES FROM ANNA. For heaven's sake people, I read the entire thing AND posted a valid point --- she didn't even TOUCH on ANY of what I posted. Perhaps YOU all didn't read it... but don't say I didn't. I sure as hell did.

Flamebait? Kidding me? That last post was simply to reiterate the original post I made... I was proving a point.

Considering the fact that the post was originally 2 lines long, and both were spam, and that you merely edited your post after several posters (including me) pointed out the fact that you had posted without reading the thread, I hardly think we have any reason to believe you. You may be able to pull off such stunts in a high-traffic thread in the Flood, but the Septagon is much slower. People are actually able to recall the original post, because of the lack of dozens of spam replies.
I'd suggest you don't try it again.

Well, seeing as how, by the time you edited an actual post in, we were already onto another page, how could we not ignore it. Again, don't rely on belated edits to flame other people.

EDIT: nvm... I'm just letting this go.
Fine, but I'm not.

Her original 'two-line flame' is still there, and can be viewed near the bottom of page 4. The edit in the post in question is clearly marked as such and the original post is still of considerable length.
The fact that you guys see any validity in screaming "you didn't read teh thread!!!" is absurd.
It would make you seem far less foolish to simply admit that you were wrong, but apparently you like to take your cues from Bananna Hammock.
It's nice to see the Queen Hypocrite has a protege.
