I think Bungie should filter out characters outside the ASCII.. (0-255)

Its easy to ignore people. Just don't let it get to you. I find it strange that people need to complain about something so redundant. If you hate it when those are used, just ignore all threads with them in the title.

It's kind of hard not to notice when they're right in front of your face...

Which makes them the first thing and the last thing you look at. Knowing its there doesn't make it harder to ignore, just easier to pass over and forget about. Do you stop at every booth that screams in your ear? Or do you keep walking by and forget they existed?

  • 12.26.2007 12:24 PM PDT

Or you could just be smarter than the dots...

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Over-using special texts and such can be annoying if used often to attract attention. One person will post something like this in the title of a post so people look at it. Then someone else will make a thread with something even more exotic and so on and so forth.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

It's meant to grab attention, and I see it really just as obnoxious and annoying, just like you. People like that are basically screaming for their thread to be locked or edited.

Nvm, it's against Ash's rules.

I thought it's always been against the rules. "Thread Decoration" was something I remember Shishka cracking down on in the past.

It is bloody annoying.


I remember Shishka cracking down on it before, too, which is why I've been reporting threads like that.

I am almost never in the file forums.

That is the neatest post I've ever seen. Either that or it's way past my bed time. Or both.

Seriously. I was so impressed with the way that looked that I didn't give a crap about what it said inside besides the little symbols. Pretty.
That's exactly why doing stuff like that doesn’t really help the post.

It's because you have your head in the clouds, chuckle-monster.

No, it's frequent, but not that bad. :D Just a tad annoying... Not sure what to do about it. Can people be warned for being "Annoying"?
you mean like you >:)

Wow that looks kinda cool lol

I don't really have a problem with it when I see it because I don't frequent the files forum or the classifieds but if it's as big a problem as you guys say it is hopefully it gets nipped in the bud.

Yup. Anything different or unique is so annoying. Why can't everyone just be exactly the same? Sheesh.

I mean people who take awesome screenshots that never get noticed should be happy bungie fav's is half filled with the worst screenshots bungie.net has to offer, and shouldn't try in anyway to get there screens noticed.

Oh, um... I was being sarcastic.

Yeah, it sucks... A filter would be amazing but I doubt it would come.

Again I ask why it matters, if its the post that counts then why should the way it looks bug you? If you can't get past stupid little decorations then maybe you need to learn how to tune things out (similar to selective hearing).
