I don't think any of the moderators would mind being shishka-like for a few weeks. *giggles even more*


So you'll be welcoming the "xxxx is a pegboy" threads?

Good to see you're already getting started.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I think the forum would be easier to moderate with an Iron Fist, as it's brand new. If the HFCS were to start issuing hardcore punishments to all crap mongers, they'd be accused of buying new PMS cycles and running people down. However, a brand new forum has no precedented dicipline conditions, so there's no bars held.

LOL, Shiska like. LOL he is his own example.

Uh-oh. Recon's getting there.

Complete Jerk? Check.
Power Hungry? Check.
.. Not giggling yet.

JaF's got a leg up on you, Recon. He almost reminds me of Shishka every time he posts.

Wait a second.

Does this mean that I can finally try out my "open all links" button?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

and the moderators will be encouraged to be heavy handed and Shishka-like to everyone in there.


*Giggles evily*

Seriously, when Shishka was a Ninja last year I was afraid of him, Flammers and trolls, please take note not mess with the mods in the Beta forum... it was not pretty when you got banned by shishka.

Posted by: Achronos
Furthermore, it is quite easy to ban you from the beta itself if a forum ban doesn't make the point.


Ouch, that would deffinitly leave a mark to.

The new forum is going to be awesome. I always wondered what would happen if the moderators locked a forum down from the start - and the population was stable. It might actually foster a real community.

Here's hoping.

I don't agree with a specific Halo 3 beta board being created.

The Halo 3 forum is going to be mostly beta talk anyways. It's pretty funny how most people can't see that.

I am assuming that the moderators will be moving any and all topics that are related to the beta from the Halo 3 Forum to the Beta Forum.
Then again they could not. They have been known to do stranger things. You can't really expect sanity from those that deal with bananas and screaming.

Just wanted to point out to you all, that Pezza is Australian. Therefore, I feel it's unfair for him to partake in the Halo 3 Beta without having written an essay on why!

It will probably be created for the same reason Optimatch was deemed seperate from New Mombasa.

Bungie can filter the constructive feedback from the crackpot "Cortana is Johnson's biological mother" theories. Well, they can do it more easily at least...

  • 05.08.2007 7:51 PM PDT

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

For instance, say the pistol really did suck, and someone playing the beta had a legitimate complaint. The thread would not be people from the Beta talking about it and weighing up the pros and cons, giving their input... It would mostly be people who haven't played shouting "YEAH IT SUX BRING BACK THE M6DEEEEE!!!".

If it will simplify matters, you can rely on me doing that anyway, even through the proper channels. :-P

I don't doubt that proper bug reports would be forwarded on. That is not the problem I'm concerned with. Mine rather, is the high signal-to-noise ratio that these forums have. I've seen many good posts about bugs and such in the Halo 2 forum buried under a mass of crap.

Hah, signal to noise ratio. Good one! I totally agree though. Threads about real issues in halo 2 are swamped in minutes by rubbish, spam and -blam!--flinging.

I'd suggest (but wouldn't assume) a day or two earlier. Then the mods can ban anyone who even posts in there, to show people that the rules are to be followed. =P

I'm liking this idea of a dedicated halo3 beta forum, but as someone previously stated, i think it would be a better idea for those who play in the beta only be able to post/vote in the forum, but everyone and their grandmaw can read in it. It would filter a lot of pointless rants and rages by people asking by the secoond, "how is the pistol" "did you find glitches" "i'd beat you if i was in the beta" blah blah blah and so on.

Now, I do not doubt that the moderators wil have it under control, but nonetheless, it would make it a lot easier on them if they only had to filter things said by the people who play in it which should mostly be constructive feedback which is what this beta was created for in the firstplace right?

You know what? I agree with this, but there's really no way to police it. It would be unfair, for example, if a guy who did not manage to get a Beta invite (through no fault of his own... just bad luck and not enough cash to buy Crackdown) goes over to his friend's house and plays the Beta for a couple of hours, finds a bug and has some comments about gameplay issues, and then cannot discuss them in the Beta forum. I mean sure, he could tell his friend to post it in the Beta forum, but I would imagine that he would want to discuss it on his own Bungie.net login ID.

There will probably be many of these people, and in my opinion, they are just as entitled to discuss the Beta as someone whose gamertag is actually linked to a valid Beta code. Then, you've got plenty of people on here who will definitely be in the Beta but have chosen (or had no choice) to link a different gamertag to their b.net login. They also are no less entitled to discuss the Beta.

As it is, I think that the moderators are just going to have to police the Beta forum a little more, although I imagine that after a couple of days, the bad posts will quiet down a LOT.

I can't wait to see the rules for the Beta forum... they will be a very interesting read, in my opinion.

Does this apply to the friends and family portion of the beta or anyone playing the beta?
