Subject: Dear community: A Call To Arms.

Posted by: Duardo
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.

It has come to my attention that the Halo 3 forum is under attack by Gears Of War loyalists on Xbox.com, their facts are backwards and twisted, the Halo fanbase needs you to help solve the problem.

The Gears Loyalists won't quit spamming the Halo 3 forums, and we need the Bungie.net community to support the Halo 3 forum tghrough these dark times( Do not spam the Gears forums, we are more mature than them).

Are you all with me?

No.

The mods will deal with it.

Replying to thier idiocy is just as bad.

How so? replying to them and proving them wrong with intelligent posts in a contained thread is not idiocy... also the Mods at xbox.com are not doing anything at all about the sitiuation.

They are obviously doing it to get a rise out of all the Halo3 fanboys. They could care less about intelligent conversation and/or discussion.

They want attention, so replying to them gives them the attention they desire. If there is nobody there to argue with them, they go away.

Its really quite simple.

.......Do we have to?

Only kidding. There is nothing, we can do other than to not reply to their flames and spam. Just show them that you can like two great shooters, just show them they are being immature by spamming a pointless forum. That they, are the ones that are holding together the Gears v Halo debate. Then, all will work out. But this is up to the Halo 3 Forum community; yes, we are all a community, but some of us would rather not get involved, especially when all you need to do is ignore it for it to go away.. Just be mature, don't reply to them, don't even acknowledge them. Then, they will go away.

You know, not stoop to their level? Forums have moderators for a reason, they'll get to it eventually. No need to make the situation worse.

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

I can't think of even one reason why I would want to defend the Halo 3 forum from spammers. The Halo 3 forum houses the greatest collection of morons on the site and the spammers will keep them from wandering off into other parts of the site. Long live the spammers.

The mods are no match for the kind of evil we're dealing with here. Only one man can save humanity and wipe out this threat on our very existance.

Planning any kind of community invasion or spamfest is very frowned upon. I'd suggest not suggesting this again :).

Who said anything about spamming the forum?

I ama sking the comunity to go to defend Halo 3 in the Halo 3 forum at xbox.com, not to spam.

Why are we defending a game that isnt even out yet?

Im sure there are a thousand places where Halo 3 is being trashed by a community, should we take up arms against all of them? By attacking the xbox.com forums, do we send a message to all the lesser sites?

From my point of view, neither the pro or anti-halo 3 factions have anything to argue about. You've seen a small glimpse of what will be Halo 3, but no one knows what the final product will be like.

No, you never did say anything about spamming the forum, however, you did imply it. Just ignore them, it will pass. It always does.

You're asking them to feed the trolls, even if that's not your intent.

Twinkie nailed it. They want replies. By replying, you're giving them what you want. It doesn't matter how intelligent you think or do sound in your posts. To them, they see an angry fanboi on "the other side" getting riled up and "fighting back," just like they want.

Being an intelligent poster means knowing when not to reply, sometimes.

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

I've always been a fan of letting people speak for themselves, or in this case letting games speak for themselves. And right now, since Halo 3 isn't out yet, it would be futile to attempt to speak about Halo 3, since the vast majority of us haven't seen the game in person.

I'm on the xbox.com forums a lot, and there are different groups on there every day that troll the forums. The "Halo 3 vs. UT3" or "Halo 3 vs. GOW" or "Halo 3 vs. Hello Kitty Island Adventure" threads will probably be there until and after the actual release of Halo 3. You can make the most well thought out rebuttal, and it won't make any difference. The trolls aren't going to fight "fair" and try to debate you, they're going to spout rhetoric to piss you off. They're Trolls, that's what they do.

You can be the Bungie keepers of the faith all you want, but the Trolls don't care, they are looking to pick a fight, like that 3rd grader on recess.

How so? replying to them and proving them wrong with intelligent posts in a contained thread is not idiocy... also the Mods at xbox.com are not doing anything at all about the sitiuation.

If they are posting to compare the two games, and discuss the merits of both in a mature manner, then feel free to post.

If they are posting to say "LOL HALO SUX U LOOZERZ!!11" then you are in fact an idiot to reply and will be warned by moderators not to reply to spam again (Just today, I already banned two people for that and I'm looking for my hatrick).

P.S. The two people had previous warnings, don't worry I'm not quite as mean as Pezza.

Agreed. Unfortunately I am as mean as Pezza is. My problem is that I am not as good looking. Just ignore the idiots and trolls ad just report them. Let us remove them and deal with their threats. I for one think my moderator whambulance is coming along nicely. This type of stuff would just give us more to work with.
