Кланяються мені!

I just got back from work, and decided to check out the h3 forum, and saw a grizzly sight, 3 full pages of ninja liberation! (locked topics with banned users)

One banned thread was titled "no ninjas so lets spam" or something like that. Can sombody fill me in. How did people get the idea of lets all break the rules, and whatever happened.

Note to ninjas: wow. And if this is an inappropriate thread, i mean no harm

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

People were jerks, took advantage of what they were given. Others saw this, were jealous of the others' (pseudo-)sucesses, and tried to take a piece of the circle-jerk pie.

As time progressed, the pie tin could not support the amount of pie needed to make this group happy. As a result, the pie, along with those who had their hands on it, were thrown out.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

This happens about once a month. You get some random slot of time when, by sheer coincidence, no ninjas are online and, by another sheer coincidence, somebody purposely posts a thread that they know breaks the rules and which should require disciplinary action. The thread stays open for a while and people realize there are no ninjas (mostly due to replies within threads saying stuff like "where are the ninjas, why don't they lock this?"). Spam threads are created and fill the Halo 3 Forum. Then, a ninja comes along, sees the mayhem, and starts handing out carnage, resulting in pages full of locked threads and bans.

As a general observation (not specifically to you, ecartman), the best way to prevent stuff like this from happening is to not respond to bad posts. First, if you don't give them the attention they crave, they go away. What's the fun in writing spam if nobody is reacting to it? Hence the reason that nobody opens up Microsoft Word and types in spam, flames, or troll posts -- they do it on forums instead.

Second, if you do not respond to bad posts and just report them instead, they quickly fall to the second page of the Halo 3 Forum, thus decreasing the likelihood that people realize that no moderators happen to be online at the time. A moderator will log in eventually and, because the thread was reported, will take any needed disciplinary actions. In the meantime, substantive quality posts remain at the top of the Halo 3 Forum and the bad posters are discouraged from continuing their wayward pracitices.

Of course, this is all theoretical, since this series of actions has never actually happened :-)

Awesome. Maybe that'll get rid of the bad posters for a while. Oh wait... They might make alt. accounts...

I think evilcam and myself set a new ban record, but I may be mistaken. I don't know what the old record was.

Huh cam didn't mention you but haha he said at least 100 people for him with 14 day blacklists. He got pissed with the naked master chief thread. And I do believe you are mistaken wouldn't Shiska have the highest ban record?
