I do not feel that the "powers at be" are actually monitoring Bungie.net or XBOX Live for that matter. I believe our rights as citizens have diminished because of the patriot act I and II,
Indeed, and neither do I. But that wasn't what I was intending to imply.
By 'powers that be', I was referring to the forum moderators and any others among the devs that might have particular pull in such decisions as whether to ban posting and lock or move threads, or alternatively, promote member rank and (most questionably) assign recon.
Maybe I just don't believe it's feaseable or particularly fair to dole out something as highly sought after as recon armor on a basis of merit unless they intend to pass it out to literally every other tom, dick, or harry that has a clean record.
But that can't be right can it? They don't really do that do they?
I realize this subject has been discussed into the ground countless times before, but I would really hope that it'd be something bigger than simply 'being good and hoping to get one's name drawn out of the gorilla hat.'
Perhaps what might satisfy some people would be a list of past recipients and by what basis was it awarded. I don't know. I'm sure i'm wrong somehow...
I would hope they at least bother to tell those who do recieve it just why they were chosen out of the multitudes. I wish it could be so with member rank as well, but that would hardly be possible. It'd take too much time.
But , oh, to be an all knowing forum mod. All the mysteries revealed. The knowlege of, step by step, how most such rewards& punishments might be dealt. To know the system.
But at the end of it all, if I were to somehow become a mod myself, I'd likely just discover that I really was just overthinking it all along and nothing more. That there is no 'system' and it's all pretty much chosen at random. Well, so long as you aren't some obnoxious troll that is.
I guess I was just hoping it was something more...structured than that.
Oh great, I did it again. Sry for the rant.
