This is for you, MODS, I'm a Mod at another forum, and there's a lot wrong with this one.
Name it. I will publicly laugh at the difference in audience and member count.
1) allow for users to SEARCH. It's pretty annoying when people ask 25 times a day how to get bungie.net behind their gamertag
Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to program this in. I wasn't aware that I was even involved in coding the forum software. Seriously, if this post is directed specifically at the moderators, why are you talking about something that is totally beyond our control? If you must know, such a feature is being worked on by the web team that works at Bungie.
2) allow users to view all of their own posts. It's extremely hard to get answers to questions on here because it's a pain to even find your own posts after more than a days time.
See point #1.
3) WARN people before banning/suspending them. I have been suspended twice now, and I have no idea why it happened either time
We do tell people why they are banned. Warnings prior to blacklistings are issued for minor offenses, and probably work a lot better on your small forum where everything is easier to monitor. Here, troublemakers tend to get timeouts. We don't have time to be babysitters.
As for your blacklistings... maybe they had to do with flaming? Just a guess.
4) Get that Godawful bungie tool bar thing off the bottom of the screen. It serves no purpose. It is ugly and it inhibits board usage.
That's your opinion. Thanks for sharing.
5) Stop being jerks to users. I've never been on a forum where the mods were more self righteous and controlling than here. This is an internet forum about a MATURE rated game, and yet people are constantly badgered about foul language, spreading rumors, and making references to race and/or -blam!--blam!-ity. LIGHTEN UP. If you want to be a cop, go become a cop. If you want to punish kids, slap wrists, and tie your -blam!- hairs in tights little bundles, then become a babysitter or a kindergarten teacher.
Am I supposed to be personally insulted by this? I am. Rules of netiquette are expected here, and all the things you refer to are against the rules. If you do not agree with these rules and various terms set forth in the Code of Conduct, stop using this website. If you are unable to voluntarily comply, I can help.
Most important of ALL: Stop trying to be so unique and cool and switch this forum over to the standard format used by the millions of other forums on the web. This format is downright stupid and inconvenient.
I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but you don't know everything. The other "popular" forum softwares aren't nearly as able to deal with the huge amounts of traffic this site recieves. Don't pretend you know more than you do. You look stupid afterwards.
In closing, I would like to tell you that you that you really pissed me off with this post, which was probably your intention. You have shown yourself to be quite less than mature and very ignorant.
*sigh* I wish I could quote this in my signature...
