The Flood hates the Halo 3 forum. I often see post showing hatred toward the Halo 3 forum in the Flood. I guess that's why there is a Report as Spam button.


Yes, but the Flood allows un-related topics in there. You "couldn't" really post "I HATE TEH FLOOD!" in the H3 Forum.

Of course they do. But don't worry, hating the Halo 3 forum is just a popular Flood fad. Kind of like the anti Rap music or anti American stuff that most of the regulars there post. So it should end, but don't hold your breath.

We never said his opinion meant nothing Jay...
I didn't either. I said "means little" and you said you "find it inconceivable". Anyway, I wasn't singling anyone out. I was commenting on the trend the thread was taking even after another "old" member (sorry dude) was >this< close to posting something similar and a mod commented without baiting. If Zag would have made the post, would it have gotten the respect (attention) it deserves instead of it turning in to a you don't know what you are talking about or how can you possibly know anything about it.

Oh, let me try it this time like this:
[sarcasm]Anyway, I am a new forum member so I don't really know what I am talking about. Maybe I should just reports myself as spams.[/sarcasm]



My mistake, I misquoted you. Oh, and the reason why I said that "I find it inconceivable" was a play on Weggie's original post quoting TPB. Since "inconceivable" is the word that he doesn't think he knows the meaning of. Anyways.

Honestly, if Zag had made this post instead of the original OP, it probably would have discussed differently. At least from my viewpoint. Because Zag has been on the website for a long(er) time. I'm not saying that the original OP isn't entitled to his opinion, but Zag would be more qualified to talk about the effects Forum Wars have on B.net because he's seen a couple before.

In the end, we all think Forum Wars are idiotic. However, I've never seen what the problem was because they just get the idiotic people banned quicker and in mass quantity.

Guys, look, let's clear this up.

1. Report flamewars to the mods via your handy button.
2. NOBODY here has enough information to conclusively show who is an alt except for me. In the end, the moderators and myself will deal with alts as we see fit, generally on a case by case basis. As far as you people are concerned, you walk a fine line when you post on an alt. BUT none of you are moderators, and people who continue to try and use "but you're an alt" as part of the discussion will almost certainly find themselves warned/banned for flaming.

Do I make myself clear?
So, are alts against the rules? I always wondered that, because I don't remember you or any mods specifically saying yes or no.

not to go against the evidence but evrytime I've posted in the flood, about 10 threads, nobody has ever said anything wrong to me.

I must just be lucky.

Thank goodness. I made a thread suggesting this and some other stuff but nobody cared (unhappy face + crying face).

This was really getting on my nerves! IMO it should be a moderator issue/pm a moderator about it. I mean like half the threads on opti-match now say "You are an alt" in some kind of "hidden" wording, what is up with that? They should just make it gold only or just say "Don't post in forums if its about an alt account".

Looks like thats happening. Stuff like that really derails a thread! Just look at this one, right now 75% of the posts are about alternate accounts! This happens in every thread this comes up in.

Yeah this is kind of an annoying issue, but how do people know which forum you post in? They are also really annoying.

Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.

So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....

"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..

if you think that a person's comments about other users involve personal attacks, then you can report the person for spam.

as for talk of alt accounts derailing threads, i can imagine how that could happen in other threads, but i do not see that taking place here. here is a part of the opening post by the thread creator:

There have been many instances that they will actually spam attack the Halo 3 forum on alternate accounts.

since he mentioned this sort of thing in the first post, it seems like par for the course for others to mention their thoughts on this matter as well. as i mentioned in the thread that you started, the mods will mete out warnings and bans for accusing users of being alt accounts, so people should not do it in the threads. it looks as if all talk of alt accounts should be excluded from the forums.

I'm just glad that something was actually said on this issue. There is a group of people who seem to make this a habit and I'm glad that there is progress towards getting them to quiet down with the off topic flaming. Thanks achronos.

Good to see at least somebody takes this place seriously

I am sincerely disappointed in everyone except JIMH. JIMH, have a gold star.


',:\ IF YA SAHMELLLL

I post frequently in the Flood and have yet to see any sort of "war" that people are talking about. The only time that the Halo 3 forum even enters conversation is when (as people have already pointed out) someone posts a thread that belongs in the Halo 3 forum in the Flood. That is usually replied to with unnecessary flaming which I do not condone. Again this is not Halo 3 forum specific. People will respond with flaming at anything off-topic, blog-like or spam-like. This behavior is admittedly child-like. I, personally, only push the spam button and move on without posting at all.

If there is some group who regularly spams the Halo 3 forum, they should not be considered a part of the Flood. They are like people who declare war in the name of religion. They may claim that religion excuses them to do it, but in actuality the beliefs of that diety are strongly against it. Posters in the Flood forum generally only want to be left alone from the Halo posting, afterall that is why they started posting in a Flood topic. Any meddlers or antagonizers should not be associated with the rest of the Flood forum goers.

Another complaint I here is about the snides or comments from some of the Flood posters about Halo 3 posters. These comments should be taken lightly and in the same realm as posts degrading Recon's mother. Flood posters declare everyone stupid and inane, most of all themselves. Comments like these should not be seen as a personal attack, but rather a jest from one brother to another, as tough love.

Sports Illustrated Version: Previous points regarding attacks on the Halo 3 forum from the Flood forum are either exaggerated, wrong, or ill-targeted.

1. just to clarify, there are groups of people spamming h3
2. Degrading comments about an entire group of people are stereotypes, same as racism, sexism, etc. and just as ignorant

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing some bans happening for it so people get the idea. This whole situation seems to be a smaller scaled version of the mlgpro forums/bungie forums. MLG actually put in a "no bungie bashing" rule and has had great success with it, I wouldn't mind seeing the same thing here between h3 and flood

Well you have to understand that the Flood has a collective I.Q. of about 47 and that's only because the mods actually post in there from time to time, without them it would be around 12. So don't take any personal offense to anything that's said in there. The only reason they get mad is because sometimes people post H3 topics in the Flood instead of the H3 forums....

Okay this has been bugging me for a while. I like to post in the Halo 3 Forum and the Flood forum pretty often and many times "regulars" from the Flood are actually attacking Halo 3 forum goers. There have been many instances that they will actually spam attack the Halo 3 forum on alternate accounts. Even when halo 3 forum goers will try to post in the flood they just get flamed and are told to "go back to the halo 3 forum" and "get out my flood"

I just want to know if the moderators are aware of this because something should be done, Halo 3 forum goers are actually starting to retaliate and "attack" the flood forum. This is just blatant stupidity.


Yea I agree it is stupid, For example if you have a thread and some moran you don't even know comes in to pick a fight just for the sake of doing it. usally because they are pusy's in real life so they have to go on the internet to prove there manhood. Then they have there friend are maybe there boyfriend come in right after and write something like ( He pwned you ,or The last guy who posted raped you.) Its just childish.
If you want to join a thread fine at least say something thats relivant to the subject. Don't just use it as a exscuse to start a fourm war.

Once again I say we throw them into a pit and give them all noodles to battle it out. I personally use both forums, and see the main difference between to the two is that the Flood usually like other games besides Halo, while the Halo 3 forum is mostly Halo, Halo 2, and Halo 3 fans. It basically is a war on the perfect game between the two. I say at least we still have chicken!

Cpt, don't evade the profanity filter.

Oh and JIMH, youre right about people getting flamed for being off topic in the flood. Personally, I think the people who make spammish, attention whoring, bloggy crap should be banned on site. Personally I just think of the pezz post where he tells them all to get a life, really they need to.
