Make Bungie.net More Enjoyable: Read & Follow

Ok, this is starting to bug me. Let's examine the situation from a fresh perspective.

Information that has been perpetrated by mods suggests that mods in HFCS were planning a joke on April Fools day, this 'new structure', and since some other mods vehemently disagreed, there was a schism among the mods. This 'schism' is supposedly so severe, that mods are 'digging their own holes', are creating 'rebel factions', and banning each other.

At the moment there are two other events that complicate that situation. First, is Triforce's so called 'proof' that this is real and that he was contacted by an unknown moderator. Second, is that ModStalker is going crazy.

Let's get the ModStalker issue out of the way. It is not maintained by Bungie or the mods, but rather jmh, who is a Mythic member and potentially trusted enough by Bungie to be contacted and asked to screw it up and cause chaos. Or, he messed it up on his own initiative. Either way, I don't think it has much to do with the story that the mods are telling us.

Now Triforce's PM's are compelling. Yeah, the black edit is identical in all images, but he explained that in an acceptable explanation. I'll buy it. That thread also bears many posts by mods, mods that I have always know to be very serious. One even stated that the sender of the PM's is being dealt with by Achronos, which implies complete rebellion and insubordination on this mod's part.

Those are the fact, people. I'm going to be stubborn and conclude that this is entirely manufactured, only because it's April fools time and I wouldn't expect anything from Bungie that isn't darn awesome. And if I'm right, this is the most awesome April fools day joke ever. But even more compelling than that is the previous history of the rebel mods. Achronos wouldn't hand pick someone unless he trusted them. The mods have always demonstrated professionalism in the past. I'm having a great time believing that there was some massive rebellion, but I know that it would make no sense. What I'm saying is that I want to believe it, but just don't.

We will find out soon enough. Perhaps this is real, I'm just not entirely convinced yet.

I hate you unless I'm drunk.

I sent foman a message about my thread being locked. He said that there should only be one thread about the "drama". This thread wasnt created about the drama, this thread was originally about what people though the new structure was for moderating.
My thread was about the drama and the rebellion and therefore should be unlocked.

You know, getting past all the snarky comments I'd like to make, something like this would definitely be site (or at least board)-threatening if really. Do you really think employees would just stand by for this? If anyone truly believes this to be some big deal, well, wow.

Also, people who make a super huge deal about the boards make me lqtm. Thanks, Septagon.

Just to show you how easy it is to "shop" a PM I wanted to make this. It took me around three minutes. I would be slow to believe that PM if I were you...

I don't want to sound nosy but i really want to know what that "joke" was if there ever was one. I have a feeling this whole debacle is the joke

Maybe this is real maybe its not....the community forum is getting out of hand now. I think Bungie should just put an end to this.

This thread wasnt created about the drama, this thread was originally about what people though the new structure was for moderating.
Exactly, but that purpose was lost before the first page was even filled. So much of that kind of discussion has gone into this thread already that forcing people to talk about it in another thread would be kinda stupid, so might as well keep it here now that we've got nearly thirty pages on it.

Interesting, some racist dude just created a ton of accounts and just spammed the forum. Are we the new Flood? I mean, that forum right now is actually serious, seeing as a ton of posts are regarding protection against the 'Conficker Virus'.

New Flood for life <3

We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

Oh, silly Bungie, tricks are for kids! Wait..
