The flood is a perfect name. In fact, most spam doesn't spawn from the Flood forum, but rather the Underground. That's where the most threads are locked and stay, and where you'll find the most issues. The Flood is meant to be a spam forum, in a sense, and is fine the way it is. People go overboard and threads get locked, but it isn't like they are bringing down the whole ship.
I agree with sir_brilliant's statement that the flood is a good name. He is correct that most spam forms from the Underground Forum. However, the description under the title saying, "Use at your own risk. Say your stupid things here." may be misleading in the fact that members can just post what they want; but that is not the case because when they agree to abide by the Code of Conduct, they are also agreeing to follow the forum rules. Even the Flood has rules to a certain extent. Most threads are allowed, but when a user crosses the line that's when blacklisting occurs. A good idea would be to change the description by saying, "This forum is for discussion of anything off-topic, but appropriate.", or something along those lines. Although it would be a minor change it would still benefit Bungie.net.
