I just fail to see why they would go to all this work for something that isn't really grade A lolz. This could very well be fake, and it probably is (I'm varying on opinion at the moment). It just seems silly to go all these lengths for something so small.

The mods have always demonstrated professionalism in the past.
This was the greatest thing I have seen so far, I laughed really hard. It's also the reason why I continue to come to Bungie <3 If they weren't located in such a gloomy state, I would so apply my amazing graphic design abilities to their awesax company.

I don't understand. My point was that the mods have been professional and loyal in the past, so a rebellion to such an extreme degree seems completely fake to me. That's all I was trying to get across.

Their excuse for this behavior is "it's not a democracy". They're right, it's closer to fascism.
You say it like you're exposing some hidden truth.

We've always said this is a totalitarian regime. Achronos himself tells you that about once a year.

Would he change regime if the whole member base quit?

Ok, now heres my problem, Bungie would not allow someone to post spam like that on this forum. Period. They may joke around, have some fun and stuff, but this spam is not only crossing the line between whats deemed appropriate on this site, it damn near offensive to anyone who would try and join this site. Either this is a really sick and -blam!- twisted joke that is really out of hand, or it is real and it needs to be dealt with severely right now.
Absolutely. One of the main reasons I like this forum is the fact that it is actually regulated pretty well. This is just plain in bad taste now.

Oh, I thought you were trying to be sarcastic. I only saw it when that other guy quoted that sentence, so I never saw your original post.

Not sure how long you've been around for, but the mods and Bungie staff are just big kids doing what they love sometimes. So while they are, indeed, professional, they let lose every now and then, which I love.

It's unfortunate that they'd think restricting members' rights would create a cooler place when it's only real noticeable effect is making every post stupider. They promote not having character in posts, and they punish people who make original posts. The rules are enforced at discretion and those enforcing play favoritism and politics.

I really hope it wasn't mods on second accounts who made those threads. If they where then I am truly disipointed in Bungie and its mod staff.

Well I fail to see how disciplinarianism (new word) really fixes problems of obedience in the community. What changes have YOU noticed in the past year? Are they all positive? Has the two week plan really changed much besides slowing down original shenanigans and have the monotonous repeat threads take a much more noticeable auto pilot of the flood? No backing out now, but it's hard to see what ties people with personality to this community that is too large for it's own good. I'm a loyal Halo fan, but the way the site is run isn't as "rad" as the fans romanticize the developers to be. That'd be my main point. Members here are fanboys, which ruins everything.

At least someone noticed it was BS.

I hate you unless I'm drunk.

In my thread Pezz said they knew who PM'd me. If thats true, the only way they could've known is if an Admin looked at my PM's. Its been said before that Mods have no authority over PMs. If you even DID get my source right, you have NO right to do anything because what was said resides in a PM and mods have no authority there.

I disagree with you guys. This is Achronos's regime, and he does a darn good job of running it, in my opinion. I have no problems with a fascism. Actually, I take that back. I have no problems with a Bungie controlled fascism.

Maybe you guys are just being sarcastic and I'm being way to thick - I can't tell. But what I can tell you is that I wouldn't want a Bungie.net that isn't dictated by the existing web team. Things have worked that way until now, and if Achronos couldn't do his job, he would have been fired long ago.
