Subject: Locked for bumping

As most of the community knows, but all should, one rule of Bungie.net is

* Bumping is illegal. Breaking this law has high consequences. Such as but not limited to: assignation by ninja, hippo licking, and/or complete forum thread annihilation. Or we will most likely just lock your topic. Don't bump!

I have noticed that almost every bumped thread isn't dealt with at all
ESPECIALLY in the file forums, one bungie favs had been bumped about 10 times (it was a couple weeks ago)

Why arn't people who bump being punished?

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. 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.

In order to lock all the bumped threads Bungie would have to make everyone moderators. Or all the current mods would need 100 arms each working on a computer each. It's impossible because the number of bumped threads is too high.

Well... personally I play favorites. If the person in question has black hair. I ban them. If they have brown, I give them a 5/5 rating and add their name to the Recon Armour list.

Those with blonde hair are simply processed into Soylent green to keep the rest of you worker drones alive long enough to build my weather machine.

Bumping is when someone replys to their own topic to boost it further up on the forum page, where the most recently replied-to topics are listed first.

Now, this thread needs locking.

Well hopefully with some more help the files forums will come undercontrol. AS for the mods only being human, I think all moderators should have genetic enhancement making them stronger, faster, and more witty with comments. With their enhanced moderators, noone will be able to stop Bungie! Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha

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....

i know that you say this in jest, but i wonder if this is the case behind some decisions. i have recently seen and reported a few bnet members who were either legendary or mythic on a couple of occasions. for example, let's suppose that a mythic member makes a patent personal attack against a user on one thread, and i report it. i then see the same user attack another user a few days later, and i report it. a few days later i see the same mythic member behave the same way, and his member title is still mythic.

from what i understand of what achronos has told us about member titles, a ban decreases the titles. so, if the mythic member in question were warned for the first violation (of a blatant rules violation), we may not expect to see a change in his member title. but, when the mythic member's new inappropriate posts are read, and when the mod realizes that the user in question has already been warned, it seems that a ban would be issued, and we should expect to no longer see posts by that user (because they are deleted along with the ban) and when we do, we should see a lower member title.

well, that is what i would expect to see, but that is not what i am seeing. what i am seeing is members repeatedly break rules and be reported, yet receive no apparent bans or reductions in titles.

if breaking the rules merits punishment, then i would hope that would be the case regardless of the member titles of the user. but, from what i can see, that has not been the case in particular instances.

Seriously dude, what are you smoking? I am sorry I had to say it that way, but um, moderators don't come running as soon as one person presses the report button, and/or one person feels like rules have been violated. I am rather sure you need a certain number (hopefully over 10) before a moderator is notified. Basically, other people didn't share your views about so called "personal attacks". Also I highly doubt there is an preference for "Mythic Members". Seriously, I don't know where you got that idea, but I am betting Bungie holds them to "GREATER" standards, because they have been here for a while. Except here that is. Maybe you saw a "personal attack" in the community forums? From what I have seen there is overall a more "relaxed" atmosphere here, and lots of jokes about Yoozel's mom. Those aren't really personal attacks BTW, and there is no preferential treatment to "Mythic" members because of that, you may just feel that way.

BTW titles don't mean very much, and I don't see why you seem to hate them so much. I mean where did you get the idea that one user pressing the report button = death for the user? I betcha there are thousands of personal attacks each day, with nobody banned. Ok, that may be a hyperbole, but it is true. Moderators don't come just because of 1 report, and there are so many things going on I doubt a moderator can see every single post.

The title is a "trust rating" so if a user broke that, that would happen. IT appears that you seem to have imagined "title elitism" when there is none..... its kind of wierd how people do that. Nyways, if the "mythic" member in question was really making blatant personal attacks, and was really doing that 'Everyday" I'm sure one day they would get banned. But, if it was on the community forum that is doubtful. Which is what I think you are talking about here.

SB-117

I've locked hundreds and hundreds of threads in the files forum for bumping. Whenever I visit there I usually end up locking about 80% of the front page.

However, about 500 content threads (if I were to make a nice guesstimation) are made per day across all forums so you can see why the odds are shifted slightly in favour of the rulebreakers.

People do get banned for it though, and the fear of god is in a lot of the rest. It's usually just the ignorant users who are too lazy to read the stickies who do it (aka the majority).

That may be because they take about 2 minutes to sink after they're locked.

that plan is too complicated, there is a simpler way. get the webmaster who is the strongest, fastest and wittiest of all genetically modifed internet personel, clone him eight billion times and make the clones moderators
