Subject: Linked GT in Opti - What is it for?

I don't usually care too much about quality posts and all that on-topic/off-topic "discussion" BUT, Opti has turned in to a joke. I believe the point of the Opti post requirements were to give it an air of legitimacy. To allow the folks at Bungie and other members know that the people who post in there have a legitimate stake in H3 MM. I guess the rules have been laxed because I have seen more garbage posts and polls in Opti in the last two months than I can count.

All caps tittles, adverts for clans/games/party's, repeat topics and crazy polls are popping up more regularly. Opti was touted as a place for folks to have a direct line of communication with Bungie and although I "know" they are listening, I see more responses and discussion from Bungie employee's in the other forums. I know, use the Report feature but still, if these things are happening repeatedly, is Bungie really reading and paying attention? The Rules clearly state what is allowed and not allowed. They also state bans will be dealt out to those who violate these rules and I have seen no such "higher degree of enforcement" in Opti.

EDIT: Fixed a typo

I hope they'll start making bans in the forums affect people on XBL, then we'll get some results in Opti, trust me!

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

I wish they would turn all these forums in to xbl posts only. Meaning you need to have a gold account to post. Then we can reduce the amount of jerks running rampant

I think this requirement has made zero difference in the Opti forum so I am not sure it would help any other forums. It was not intended to reduce or eliminate spam. I believe it was to have a place where Bungie and players could communicate without having a ton of 'I can has Recon' or 'Should you turn in to a flood when your infected by the flood' threads.

What about people who don't play Halo and only play Marathon, and all the other old games by Bungie? Did you ever think about it?
