There are many threads being locked and I'm growing ever more curious as to why people keep posting threads whining about the moderators enforcing the rules that we supposedly agreed to when we signed up to use this forum. Can anyone explain to me what's wrong with the moderators doing thier job? It seems to me that the only thing anyone should complain about is their leniency because these forums aren't owned by us, they're managed by Bungie and what we do here reflects on them. Don't we have a responsibility to Bungie to look halfway decent when presenting ourselves as Bungie fans? Please, someone enlighten me.

There's nothing wrong with the mods doing their jobs, in fact if they didn't, things would quickly get way out of hand and unmanageable. The problem is that there are too many stupid people. And, yes, we absolutely do have that responsibility- good point!

the people don't read the rules, and apparantly they don't read any of the 50 pages of threads that came before them joining bungie.net before starting threads that have been done a hundred times before. that is my rant, STOP POSTING THE SAME STOOPID THREADS!

note: the word stupid was intentionaly spelled as stoopid.

"Stoopid" just feels better to say than "stupid", doesn't it? I think it's kinda like the "pwned" thing...

When 1337-speak is used intentionally as sarcasm, it only serves to amplify the potency of the remark.

Eh, the potency depends on the reader. I don't like leetspeak at all and I feel stoopid typing it most times. The only use that doesn't seem stoopid to me is to poke fun at it. The whole idea of going to trouble to replace characters with other stuff just so it's harder to read and then feeling superior for it is just waayyy under my head.

I wonder if I'll see unintelligible flames when I return tomorrow... er, later today- tonight, after I'm back home...
