I'm sorry bungie, but I feel your site is out of control, at least the Halo 3 forum is, you guys need to crackdown on this. Posts will move to second page is seconds.

1. Lock all "Help with rank threads"
2. Lock all Recon threads
3. More stickes. Heck, if there was a stickie for melee, that would kill loads of threads. I think even a sticky for people to "vent" frustration that get from playing will help. I know even I am guilty of such threads.
4. To do all this, we need more mods, dont care who, as long as they are fair.
5. Maybe more types of bans, for example, "Not being able to post need threads for a week" can still reply and what not, just nothing new.
6. Increase the delay between new threads, people shouldn't need to make 20 new threads a day.

I visit this site more then anything else, but I'm starting to spend less time here. I don't mean to tell you guys how to do your job, but this is just getting out of hand.

I'm so good at Halo, Chuck Norris has me as an avoided player.

*econ speak is already not allowed, I thought. And ppl don't read the stickies as it is, many more would not help.

Well I mean a stickie for melee would mean no new melee threads, so all melee complaints go in the melee complaints stickie.

Yeah, maybe stopping melee threads is a big jump, but I think the "vent your anger" thread could work well.

vent your anger topics would be near disastrous, because what happens in one topic begins to spill over into the rest of the forums, and it gets bad.

These are problems that I would love see fixed, but there will always be idiots. As long as there are idiots, there will be stupid topics and posts. It's a big circle. Laws can be instated, officers can regulate and enforce the law, but as long as the environment is one of free mobility and lack of any real threat, people will be stupid behind the veil of anonymity that is the interwebs.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

We just need more people to report the crap. Maybe a few more mods would help, but no more than 3 or so. They can probably manage as it is. Just yeah, report the stupid crap. Also, all melee threads are duplicates, so report them.

Yeah, that report feature is great. Makes me feel very comfy. And also, sometimes I think people forget that the mods have lives to live aswell. WIthout them right now, imagine how much spam there would be.

Don't send me group invites.

Well with the addition of K Mart and Foman to the moderator team, who are fairly active, hopefully we'll see a decrease in those types of threads.

But just like people said, just keep hitting the report button.

Fixed.

On a serious note, at least 1 other EU moderator would probably do a lot of good for the forums. Not that i post a lot or check here anymore. I think i was perminatly put off the main forums by a few things.

You sir are a hypocrite. I'd love it if somebody cleaned out this (yet another complaint thread about problems). There are problems but the Bnet team are doing their very best. New moderators Foman and Captain K Mart have been assigned. Moderators are always watching, things will improve, chill.

EDIT: Sir Fragula is also invited to the moderation party. Congratulations guys!

Yeah I'd say after about 11pm Central Time, the Halo 3 forum goes straight downhill. Doesn't seem to get any attention until 12 hours later.

Trigger Happy is on the loose in the Halo 3 forum right now.

She will go ban and lock crazy.

The only oversized bottles I have are empty, because you left me to rot in Vegas.

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

Like somebody else said, no one reads the stickies, unfortunately. And for those who do, it would just be a turn-off to see so many rules I suppose.

With the new set up I think the stickies are easier than ever to ignore.

I don't notice them 90% of the time anymore, when before the update I would scan the titles every time I was on the page.

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

The Halo 3 Forum isn't bad, it is those darned spammers and kiddies posting up a storm. >_>

Really this all you need to do:

Report - Works 100% of time.
PM a Mod if you think it is a serious problem - Effectiveness? Depends on the amount of liquor stored in the server closet.
Sit and wait.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat for every thread you feel is a direct threat to the holy-ness of B.net.

Added sarcasm may be taken with a grain of salt :)

Lol, no Trig is a 'man'. Perhaps the poster was referring to the Halo 3 forum as a she, personally I see no attraction.
