Short of blacklisting every incoherent-thread maker, there is no way to handle the problem. There are simply too many of them coming every day. They come in for say, three days, post crap because they don't know the rules (or don't care), then leave forever. Now, that wouldn't be so bad if thousands of people weren't doing this, but they are, and we can't do a damn thing about it.

Sheesh, things were so much easier a year and a half ago, we didn't even need mods back then...


Yeah, you have a valid point, but there might be some chance to free a forum from spammers and flamers...

There once was a dream that was without flamers...You could only whisper it, and it would vanish.

It should be the goal of not only the mods but every denizen of this forum to create a community that governs itself. Someday we might outgrow the need for moderators, and they will become a force that is called into action maybe once every couple of months.

Hasta la victoria siempre.

It used to be like that. And believe me, I want it back. What's irritating me is that I can't do anything to help because the New Mombasa forum moves far to fast. Whatever I say there will be forgotten in seconds.

Anywho, what did Banshee Barron say again? :-P

Yeah, you can't go to New Mombasa without another dozen "feb 9th" or "E3 level" threads just popping up.

Yeah. We would need an army of good, honest-to-god Bungie fans to take control of New Mombasa.

Go look at New Mombasa. It seems to be getting worse by the minute; with each passing moment it becomes more and more one giant victim of the public school system.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Yeah... I think we should all join up, make one post and everyone post at it at once so it goes right to the top. Not bumping, since we really want to add to the topic, but something needs to be done. Mabye the modserators will be able to see the light and not lock it... or something.

Permanent ninjafication for most of New Mombasa might be the only option. The mods don't have a grip on that place at all.

Wait wait wait wait wait... join my Chapter!

(Not trying to advertise, I'm just saying... well I guess I am advertising...)

It seems to move slow enough... but it lacks all the stupidity and nonsense that these forums are gaining. Well join if you like, but now back to what we were saying... Links in my sig.

Thats why we have to keep posting it. Keep it moving, so it doesn't fade away. And if we do this, do not reply to flames. We can't stoop to there level.

Come on, we can do it. If we rally enough Flood-dwellers to our cause we will take the Stain on B.net that is New Mombasa by brute force. We shall rip down the flag of Spamming and stupidity and raise the flag of liberation and hope! We shall usher in a new age of B.net which will go down in history as the pinnacle of these forums. We will crush the New Mombasians under our heels as we stampede towards The Old ways, the Glorious way!

NM is more than just a stain. New Mombasa is AIDS, and Halo 2 was the immunodeficiency virus.

Recon, you may have a point, but I'd like to be able to discuss Halo 2 without having someone feeling the need to shout "omg hay-low to duznt respekt my skillz!!1one". Even if New Mombasa contains those who would break The Flood's fragile balance, it is still a crippling hit to these forums.

BLF, or B-net Liberation Front. Although, I'd rather that we didn't actually take any form of action against New Mombasa that would violate the rules. The best we can and should do is set a good example. If we had enough people trying to quell what's going on in NM, it could be stopped.

I have a way, the mods probably wouldnt like it, but it is a way. Go to New Mombasa and report every single rule violation, as long as it would be reported here, to a mod. Stupid topics, exessive flaming, that sort of stuff. Poor poor mods...
