Well its not my choice or my say and with all the ninjas lurking in this thread i hope i dont get banned but here it goes.

Just wondering but when you pick ninjas you pick the most mature ones in the community and right now the community loves and thinks crypticgaurdian and duardo are probably supporting the community to good attitudes so why arent they ninjas yet?

Well, there are already (supposedly) two new moderators. Cryptic has a fairly young account, for a moderator. Durado, I'm not so sure a about the reasoning behind him.

Another thing, according to the current moderators, we don't really need more.

1-2) I’m sure the Forum Ninjas want all of the “rank me up” threads locked too. But you know what? You can’t stop 100% of them, you never will. There will always be time gaps where a single Forum Ninja isn’t online watching the forums, so get used to it.

3) If you look, the current pinned topics list for the H3 forum goes half way down your page. You don’t want a whole page of stickies because that ruins the whole point of presenting them as an important thread. If the moderators feel that a new sticky is needed, they’ll add/create one.

4) Again, you bluntly call out the need of more moderators without thinking the benefits and consequences of such an action. Let HFCS decide when more mods are needed. They know best if there is a lack of control on the forums and will react accordingly. We have the “Report” button to help out the Forum Ninjas with spam. If we, as a whole, use it, spam will be reduced on all boards. Since the feature has been implemented a few months ago, spam has significantly reduced in numbers.

5) I don’t feel this feature is needed. Instead, warnings and 2-3day short-term blacklists seem sufficient to deal with the issue. No need to do more work modifying the type of bans when the existing method works just fine.

6) Your proposal intrigues me. I’m against restricting members from participating in the forums because this is a place for social activity and discussion. However, if a member creates 20+ threads a day, I guarantee some will be spam. A “post topic” limit would help reduce spam but still allow a user to participate on these forums with an unlimited amount of replies. Maybe a 5-6 thread limit creation a day per user? Just a thought to help get the ball rolling on the idea.

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 a serious dude, so what?

^^This post is proof these threads are not totally useless. The Create Topic limit is the best solution I've heard for curbing the spam even further. Make people budget their topics and they'll be more apt to learn by searching something than spamming the threads. More study needs to be done on it, though.

All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.

So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....

"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..

i have been doing just that, and i just did it again. i noticed a few inappropriate posts by a singe user, so i reported all of them. now that i have used the available tools to try to keep the forums clean, i look forward to seeing how effectively those tools are put to use. making numerous inappropriate posts and breaking many forum rules is surely frowned upon, so i cannot wait to see how this member is dealt with. since he has a member title, based on what you have told us, any punishment that he receives will be visible to us since his title will drop.

You know, a better use of your time than creating these kinds of threads is to use the report button. The mods cannot see everything... but you guys do, collectively.

If you actually care about improving the signal in the forums, how about you actually use the tools you're given instead of blaming the moderators for spam and things that aren't spam but you think shouldn't be there anyway.

the mods are proably trying their hardest to do wat they can. and no matter wat you will always have the stupid people who post dumb stuff, but that comes with a forum, if it didnt then it would pretty much be a locked down server

The mods need spam to justify their existences, without spam they wouldn't have orange text, cool avatars and Recon. They should thank the idiots.

For me the forums seem more stable recently than say 3 months ago. The H3 forum was just insane with identical threads spreading like some sort of weird fungus. The "Fix BR spread!" hysteria for instance.

Mods seem to be doing good good good. Which is good.

We do need more mods, at least to a certain extent. Yesterday, I created a topic entitled "Halo 3 Forum: Armageddon". I initially intended it to be a joke as Zero V2's "Destroy Starbucks" thread was. I quickly realized how wrong I was. Evilcam came to the thread and told me that it was a good thing he didn't really think I was trying to incite a forum war.

Which brings me to my next point.

I frequent the Flood and I have found that it is cluttered with spam and topics related to Halo 3. The Flood is an Off Topic Forum, it should not have anything directly related to Halo 3 in it. A few more stickied threads, and some more mods (Preferably European) would help.

A crackdown on the forums would help too.

Just something to point out:
I see 7 locked threads on this forum's main page, and one that should be locked.

Even after the darkest nights, morning always comes.

I believe that's quite correct, especially the Sticky part about it.

There are way too many threads about the same topics, at the moment, threads about Grifball are get to the point of a cliche...

The stickies and hot threads don't help much. People ask about ranks all the time when there is a hot topic for it 3 inches from their eyes.

What are you on about? You have just made your account, stop being so damn immature.
