I know a reason why groups should be removed:

Banned users can plot for a spam attack.

(Seriously} I know groups dedicated for this.

We obviously should get rid of a useful feature because of a few bad users. Thats like saying we need to get rid of XBL because of cheaters.

Oh be quiet. You have JERKS in your forum, we have group conquerors. Everyone is mad.

Then we should get rid of the flood and the underground because everyone spams, there, but we should also get rid of the halo 3 forum because people just spam the same theory over and over again, dont forget the septagon, always complaining about something...

You can't punish everyone becuase of a couple of -blam!-s.

If there banned, how are they going to spam the forums?

They might also use the PM system to plot attacks so I guess we should get rid of that also.

They might also use MSN, AIM, Gabbly, and other non-Bungie forums to plot their attacks. That means that they ALL have to go!

They can also use xbox live so that has to go also.

I believe that Chapters are the glue that keeps Bungie.net together. Before the Chapters were taken offline for serious marketing overhaul (I suppose) they, at least for me, were a great deal of what I did. I'd log-in, check the Chapters, then the Main Forums. Some of the friends that I've made through Bungie.net have been results of Chapters and the freedom of expression that Chapters offer. Without Chapters Bungie.net would continue, however I think the serious fan-base would be highly disappointed. How would User A ever get to share his/her biggest fan-fic with others like him/her? Sure he/she could post it in the main forums, however, a Chapter would serve the better purpose. Because a Chapter can be as specific or loose with content control they offer people variety and flexibility. Said Fan-Fic fan could find a Chapter that deals specifically with Fan-Fics. He/She could read other Fan-Fics, have his/her Fan-Fic revised, share stories, make friends, etc. The Main Forums don't support that kind of "niche" social structure because it isn't completely relevant to everyones interest. The Main Forums (as I see them) are not for day to day chit-chat, whereas a Chapter could be.

The Bungie Jumpers is a perfect example of this type of Chapter. Jim intervenes when needed (rather to beat on Flamechu) and the rest goes normally. They (we) discuss anything and everything in a mature manner (save Flamechu). Without this Chapter where would poor Flamechu get to spam GameStop links and curse in an odd manner? Certainly not the Main Forums of Bungie.net. Chapters have and always have had a purpose on Bungie.net; they allow for the expansion of the social integration of the Bungie.net Community. Essentially Chapters are the Community behind the Bungie.net. Without them no daily Gamestop Gossip and blab with Flamechu, No Nosferatu WoW updates and spam from Teh 1337ists, etc. Because what happens in Chapters in most cases as far as discussion is something that isn't permissable here on the Main Forums. The Main Forums are the arteries for information, whereas the Chapters are capillaries for dispersing this information over small populations evenly.

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

Spammers have never made any of the mods huddle in a corner and cry, so I doubt that is a good reason to take away the groups.

Now that's iron-clad logic.

Have you ever given any thought to a career in politics?
...or waste removal?

Maybe we should just shut down the internet because of all the terrible things it causes?
Why don't we all stop using cars, because of all the pollution they cause?
Why don't we all just die so we stop ruining the planet?

Hmm... sounds fun, but i'll past on the love thing.

anyway, i guess the point's been proven. sure, groups are f***ed up sometimes, but isn't that just politics? or idiots?

1. people are full idiots who go and conquer groups just for kicks because they have no lives.

2. people aren't full idiots, but are tyrranical leaders. that's politics.

3. just because of a stupid minority doesn't mean we should kill off the human race. there are other reasons... ;-)

Now, whose fault is that? The groups, or the people in them?

Your error was believing that anyone immature enough to get banned for spamming would be intelligent enough, even when teamed with 50 or so like mined people, to formulate a 'spam plan' that is of any major inconvenience to any of us.
