Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me videre?
Nothing suits me like a suit.
Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.
Well, by looking at the front page of this forum about an hour and a half ago, I can agree. With Halo 3 out, we, as in the community, are getting an Influx of new members. Now thats fine with me, but its just the way the newer members seem to behave. Most decide to flame, insult the Ninjas, flame and spam some more, and decide to blame Stosh for their behavior, after seeing that phrase once or twice.
Not all new members do this, some, I hear, actually use the forbidden in the Halo 3 Forum, I think its called 'their brains'. I hope that soon they can change their posting habits accordingly with the rules, but I'm not sure what we can to to really stop them. The ninjas can ban them all they want, and that will hopefully deter the bad behavior. But for the masses, it just creates the next Whaambulance on the 7th show.
One of the major problems I see, aside from the posting quality, is the fact that people use every forum there is for Halo 3 discussions. They can't miss the Halo 3 forum, but for the most part they don't realize that Bungie has made other games, and other forums are there. Some of them get the message after a while.
Another problem I've seen is the blatant disregard for the stickies. Hmm. Rules, order. I should totaly ignore these. 1 4m t3h 1337. I have no idea how we can make them anymore accessable and noticed than we already have. I made an earlier suggestion in another thread about making them read the rules for that particular forum before they can post there, but most people would just scroll down and click 'Enter'
The biggest problem I think we're all facing is the posting quality. I can't understand why a nice discussion can turn into a flame fest. Look at the Halo 3 Forum. Most threads that people disagree with, no, pointing out where they might be wrong and giving them their thoughts is for wimps. They have to flame them, insult their family, say 'In before lock' for whatever reasons tey see fit. The only thing I can see that will fix this is stricter rules and enforcement, but we can't enforce the rules more than we can when Pezz is online.
Those are my thoughts on the basic problems on the community, and one or two suggestions thrown in. For those of you who scroll to the bottom, here:
