And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Bungie controls everything. You have no rights. Play nice.

Oh, and with your history of bans and warnings, you don't get to complain anymore. People who have long histories of getting banned generally can look at a moderator funny and that's a valid reason for a ban. Don't like it? Well, you should have thought of that before you accumulated your illustrious history.

Why is frankie even ALLOWED to ban me if I said he's bad at halo?



I'm sorry, but I don't see how this answers the question.

Why do Bungie employees have the right to make fun of the community, but all sorts of fun the other way is prohibited, giving you guys valid reasons to ban people who make you look silly?
If a regular forum ninja practiced this behavior, the entire community would be calling for his head. And this has happened before, so we all know it's true.

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Here's the thing: whose stopping them?

*Takes note*

Oh, what's this? You have several blacklists. What's that? Was that a funny face? No? I could have sworn you looked at me funny. Did you look at me funny? No? Well, I think you're a liar. A liar with a funny face. I don't like it when people look funny at me. Because when people look funny at me, I get scared, and when I get scared, I start banning people. so I ask you again, DID YOU LOOK FUNNY AT ME?!

Yep. It's like the cops being able to run an NCIC (and pull the criminal and law enforcement history) on someone who they have pulled over for a traffic violation. Very helpful when deciding to give a first time offender a warning, ticket them because they have a pattern of violations, put the cuffs on them because of past incidents, or call for backup because of a history of violence.

For example, such would allow us to know that within the past month, that a hypothetical user has gotten a pair of 3 day bans (for replying to spam) and a warning. We can also see the details of each incident.

Hypothetically.

Cool is there any way for me to see whats in my ''record''? That would be awesome.

If you should go mad with power, what would we do to stop you? We know rewriting the code is out of the question, since B.net can't be hacked. Please, give us an emergency "Achronos has got insane" plan.

Look at PC.

Press power button.
Verify that PC is off.
Walk away.

make sure it's unplugged so that you don't get one of those phantom turn ons.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

I have a somewhat different plan. I'll stay here, hitting the print screen button and pasting into paint as fast as I can until it's all over. Hopefully this record will help later generations know what happened.

It's been like that since 2000, tom. I'll allways be bant. Allways. I bet you're one of them people who doesn't believe in second chances. Criminals still have their rights, even if they KILL SOMEONE. However, Achronos, I agree with most of your points, and I do agree that I have been bant alot, and I do agree I should NOT get a second chance, however, Frankie abused his powers. There isn't any fairness in it, even if he does it to me (I've probably been bant the most on this site)

Also, I would like a list of how many times I've been banned.

Are there different levels of permissions for gold texts? Because i'm sure i've seen someone with gold text blacklisted before, and i know for an absolute fact that shishka was, though he wasn't gold. Lol-worthy all the same, though.

Puh. Lease. That's nothin. Frankie banned me for underestimating his omnipotence and pettiness.

I made a comment about his hair, or lack thereof, and BAM! You have been temporarily banned for 2 days for underestimating my omnipotence and pettiness.

So stop complain dude.
