Subject: Forums on september 25th

I feel old.

I've been noticing that the ninjas have not been happy of late. I was thinking this might have to do with them spending all day on the forums deleting stupid posts and they dont really have anything to look forward to. I mean on September 25th they are going to have to spend all day on this forum deleting spoilers
witch will ruin the game for the most likely before they can play it . My suggestion is that the forums get closed on that day just so ninjas can have a day to play halo 3 without it getting ruined for them. They try to keep these forums clean everyday and I think they deserve to play halo 3 without any problems.

Ps.I pretty sure this is the place to put this seeing how it has to do with the community but if it is not move it to its proper place.

hmm, closing the forums may be a good idea, but it may be taking it too far.
If anything major needs to be done, they may just need to close down the halo 3 forum itself and no the others.
Other than that the only other good way that I know of is to delete post and topics.

My solution to not ruin the storyline--- Avoid any form of a halo site until you've played through campain.

When people find out they cant get on the Halo 3 forum, they will just post in The Flood or somehtint. I agree to letting the Ninjas have a day off, and closing the Forum for the day.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

If someone doesn't want it spoiled, they should go on a gaming site. Maybe they should put in the rules "must put *spoilers* before all halo 3 disscusion threads.

If you're worried about spoilers, be somewhere else that day. Seriously. The mods will ban spoilers in due course, but they are not going to protect you from it.

I didn't even think about that. That does suck for the moderators who are looking forward to the storyline but has to handle the spoilers.

Because we all know that within 8 hours of the release there's going to be "I TOLD YOU MASTER CHIEF DIES" threads and "OMG BUNGIE WHAT DID U DOO DIS GAME SUX" posts.

Yeah that's gonna be hell. Thanks in advance guys.

Though.........maybe Achronos should handle the forums for the first day, to give any moderators who want to figure out the story some time. He does know what's gonna happen after all ;-)

(joking............kinda......)

But who's going to protect us?

Give the moderators that day off, it would only be fair. They should be able to enjoy the game also, instead of being chained to their desk.

One day won't hurt anyone.

*sigh* I wish I would forget about the whole "french" leak thing from halo 2.
I think Microsoft started to crack down on it really quickly once they heard about it.

I can see it now..the date is September 25th and bungie.net forums are free of mods and ninjas who don't want to see spoilers and want to play the game themselves...only a few mods remain..but not enough to handle the mass amounts of people posting spoilers and taking advantage of the freedom.

Seriously hope it doesn't happen like that.

If I were a mod, I'd pick up the game as early as possible (midnight) and play through the Campaign on Easy as fast as possible just to get the in-game experience of learning the story myself.

Then again, I'm glad that I'm not a moderator right now. September 25 will be hell, but at least you guys won't get a pay cut if you slack off.

Carrots.

It'll probably suck ass for the mods thaugh. They have to actually click and/or read the thread before they lock it, which means if they haven't played halo 3 already, it's spoiled for them. Poor mods...

Why not pull the forums down for one day, so then anyone can play without getting spoiled?

Seriously...kind of

I feel bad for the moderators. I'm here in Germany having a blast while they sit in here sifting through truckloads of spam, repeat topics, leaks, and etc.

I can't imagine how they're going to clean up the forums after Halo 3s' release date. All of the spoilers floating around will make a mess of their days. And yes, those pesky French pirates had better not get an early copy of the game. That would be troubling indeed.

I think I'm going to steer clear of the forums come September 25th. I can't imagine the amount of thank you's, hate threads, spam, spoilers, etc. that will pop up on that single day and the days to come.

I dont think people understood me. Im not going to be on the forums from like the 14th till after halo 3 comes out. What I am saying is that the forums should close on the 25th so the Mods can play the game without spoilers. This is not a thread for me its a thread for them.

I'm seriously backing the forum shutdown. For at least 48 hours after release, no posts.
That, or we get at least 100 temporary mods. I volunteer, seeing as I'm not going to be playing H3 any time soon. I love being a PC gamer...
Oh, and the temp mods would only have the power to lock threads and edit titles.

Oh yeah BTW...... WHERES'S MY GIGGITY COOKIE!!!

That sounds like a good idea. The ninjas need a break once and a while.

Doubt that would happen.

I think just 48 hour shutdown would fix it.

the Shadows are watching.

I see what the OP is saying, but the only thing is, they won't shut down the forums (or at least it is incredibly unlikely) If the ninjas want to play through it without getting hit with spoilers on the site, they just won't come. However, that in itself creates a problem. If the ninjas aren't on, then the forums will be overrun by all hell with no one doing anything about it. The only solution that I think would really have a chance would be for the Bungie employees moderating. They know what happens, so spoilers don't spoil anything for them.

Just thought I would share a thought.
