"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."
Several points to be aware of. First, there are like 9 moderators or something like that. There are twelve forums, which, since April 12th of 2004, have accumulated 2.5 million posts. We're going to miss some bad stuff. The mods also tend to focus their attention on the people they know who end up causing trouble. I know they make mistakes, as do I. However, your assertion that anything Bungie doesn't agree with is locked/deleted/blacklisted is FALSE. In EVERY single case that this accusation has been made, the poster in question was blacklisted not for their opinion of us or their products, but for violating the rules. They were engaging in personal attacks, being a jerk, advocating illegal activties, talking about religion, politics, or modding, etc.
I honestly don't understand why that charge keeps getting leveled at us. Have you SEEN the forums? Read any of the Halo 2 forums. How many posts tell us that we suck? Lots of companies have a habit of deleting such postings. I only blacklist you if you make personal attacks against specific people in your rants... like the guy the other day who was likening Frankie to a money-grubbing crackwhore.
I will agree that the line is somewhat blurry, but I submit that's because you're too close to it. For example, say you make a post, you get locked, and then you make another post -blam!-ing at a mod for locking it? You quite possibly will get blacklisted for it, depending on the patience of the moderator and his knowledge of your particular history. If you have a problem with a moderator, you take it up privately with him, and if you don't like that answer, take to Shishka or Stosh, and then possibly take it up with me or SketchFactor. Note that if you go directly to me, I'll smack you down to the mods if you haven't gone thru them. And, in absence of evidence, I'll defer to their judgement. This isn't because I don't like you, it is because I trust them - that's why they're mods and you aren't.
So, that's that. Oh, and STOP saying "thousands of people feel this way." No, they don't. People complain loudly and publically, but they praise privately or not at all. And regarding that one "saddam" thread - if I'm remembering the thread correctly - you we're REALLY skating on thin ice that entire thread, and it probably should have been locked sooner. We gave you the benefit of the doubt, but the scale tipped when the political analogy was brought in. Not quite as clear cut as you make it.

Mr acronos...you replied to my last thread in which I was blacklisted for using the word "saddam" so blatently pointed out by shiska before he put his 2 cents on my post...blocked it.....and banned me...meanwhile another member made a thread regarding the koreas and it was clearly political.\
I just want everyone to know...I never had any kind of problem with bungie before!!! I used to look up to them...this site and its moderators have brought on my feelings......when you have questions that get negative responses because they dont direclty kiss bungies butt or praise them for the game. It brings on an attitude...and when you try to do the right thing to resolve with moderators and you get blacklisted...without breaking rules....youd be upset too.
perhaps the moderators should follow the rules as well??
Dont act suprised..........thoussands of people feel the same way as I do.
