The Forums of Bungie are one of the great aspects of thier community.
But right now there is one important issue for the forums in general. I am not here to say that such and such user is a spammer go and ban them, but I am here to try to stop spamming. In most of the forums spamming seems to be very low and under control but in one forum particularily the new mombossa forum the halo 2 forum. This is where most of the newer users seem to go first. the amount of spam here is quite a bit, but the thing is that there are only as few users doing it however they are very consistent and ver prevelant in making the spam.
I believe that the bungie community knows who these users are and so should the mods. the spamming should definitely be put a stop to, this would be very easy by simply banning theses users, doing this would increase the general quality of the forums and would be greatly appreciated.

Secondly I believe that more mods would be be a good idea with the heavy traffic lately. I know the current mods are doing a very good job in the forums but thier should be more, if thier already were more mods this spamming may never have continued as long as it did

Thank you for reading the whole post if you did I am very open to opinions and comments, in fact please comment

New mods are just round the corner. Also, the offending users ARE banned after a breaking the rules a few times. If they're bad enough then their Gamertag will also be banned.

Amen, all i can say is: try to warn the mods right away as soon as you see spam and flaming. And don't bother to tell em what right or wrong, cuz they won't listen and all you is adding fuel to the fire.
that's what i do. and it helps.

Do you mean they can cancel their Live accounts?

No, but it means that all the Halo 2 goodness on this site will be unavailable to them.

Yes, go look at the FAQ under The Underground. Sketch mentions three new ones.

Goweb how did you get to be a mod?
In the same way that everyone else did. Meaning that the previous mods -blam!-ed about us and then Sketch asked us anyway.
