I was just wondering if it's a common impression for every serious user on Bungie.net that the forums are out of control. I am definately not blaming the mods because I've watched some in action only to conclude that they go through a lot and try their best to keep the forums a cool place to be. Every day, hundrends and hundreds of new topics are being made. Most of them are repeats, spam, complainers, people who don't know how to spell better than a 2nd grader from the French Canadian province, blasting, and mostly, people who don't post their topics in the proper forums. (Happens a lot in Zanzibar and New Mombasa)

I think I have a solution. So I emailed the web team and got auto-response: a very general email having nothing to do with the web design team. I tried to go discuss it with a moderator, and he apparently tried to prevent user contact. Maybe it's the policy or something. But the mod totally turned me around even before I could start explaining a solution. Maybe he doesn't want the forums to be a better place.

Do people think that the forums are less of a fun place to be with the spamming going on, the repeating topics over and over again, the people that can't spell the word spel, people who post topics in the wrong forum all the time... etc... you know what's wrong if you agreee with me.

I understand what your saying, but I think that time itself will weed out the spam and repeating posts...For now, wait or do like i did and be as helpfull as you can and spend most of your time in private group forums.

It's nothing new and the complaints about it aren't new either.

You should have been here when there were only 3 forums and 2 mods. As you see the 7th Column has grown to 12 forums and 9 mods. However private group/chapter forums have alot more content than the regular Bungie.net forums so you might want to start there.

What does that make you?

Seriously. Don't discriminate against people because they can't spell, don't be angry because a topic is a repeat, and report it to a mod if it's spam, flaming, or off-topic. What's your solution, here? Maybe it'd be a good idea to share it?

I agree with you and made a post about this too, you may find it in the septagon pages 2-4.... The mods do work hard but a good soltuion would be to create a lot of like... half powered mods that had limited powers. by the way if you add and stuff to a sentence no matter what you dumb and stuff. Their really are no solutions unless they get ban happy like in the RVB forums, or they create a forum for only good little boys and girls which has a password... That might work...
