Off Topic: The Flood

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Lately, it seems like there's been some confusion about what the Flood's purpose is. Everytime someone spams up NM, they tell him/her to go to the Flood. Now, i'm not suggesting that it's NM's fault. I think it's the phrase used to describe the Flood: "Say your stupid things here."

Also, when someone posts something completely spammy and and retarted here, they use the excuse "But it's the off-topic forum! It's supposed to be spam!"

So, for all you who are new to the Flood, let me say this:

[color=white] The Flood is the off-topic forum of bungie.net. Off-topic does not mean spam. It means 'Forum for anything not covered by the others.' Please keep it that way. [/color]

The phrase "Say your stupid things here." needs to be removed from the forum description. For one, it has the word stupid in it, so the very description itself incites stupidity, and secondly, it's an incorrect statement.

My thought exactly. But we really can't do anything about it. Only the web team can.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Are you actually working towards getting banned? You do seem disappointed because you haven't.

Well not really. I know how to get banned if I want to. I just expected, after reading the rules, that the way I often post would would make the mods regard me as a problem spammer, you have to admit I often don't contribute much to the threads.

I don't think a phrase change is completely neccassary. I think a post by Shishka would do the job.

But the new people don't take any notice of what the Mods have to say.
