Goatse? That's a pretty extreme example, though, BobBQ. I mean, we wouldn't see Achronos again, if he linked to that. I mean, yeah... I first saw that ages ago, and I still have nightmares.

Say, as a less extreme example, if a mythic member rickrolled a thread, or started trolling, they'd be blacklisted, whereas, if they were cranky and said something mean, they'd be given more chances than a normal member, right?

I'm interested in this new ranking idea, though, Achronos. When you talk about stuff you could achieve in Halo 3, that would be obvious, does that mean a system similar to what we have on the wheelmen group? Say, as an example, someone gets 3000 combined ranked and social wheelmen medals, they get a Wheelmen rank? Or did you mean something else altogether?

Flood Kids? Lol.

I personally hate the fact that I will go into a thread, post a 6 paragraph explanation,
and be completely ignored. A Mythic member might come in, say 3 words, and
Everyone will start quoting him like crazy. I have been a bad boy (banned twice :P)
But I just keep posting, contributing, getting ignored most of the time, But enjoying
the experience of the forums.

Posting On the forums is a privilege. Not a right. I am thankful that we have the
forums for help, opinions, and more. But If you come in acting bad, rude, crude
you will have your privilege removed.

Edit: I noticed I made a rhyme in the above paragraph ^_^

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I know how you feel, I've been banned twice during my time here (both times banned by Shishka). I still at times get ignored even with my Mythic status, of course that's usually because I'm posting in The Flood or because the other users are busy replying to other users in that thread or they just don't want to.

From my experience the only users that constantly get quoted because of their status are "Bungie employees", which is annoying to see because it's usually off topic posts like "quoted because it's Bungie employee" and countless others follow it, causing the topic to get further derailed.

Amen. By the way, your name and emblem fit so well!
I also noticed in this thread the most used words are elitism, and leeway. xD

Of course there bias to the blue ppl.

But they will ban them when needed, so therefore I won't lose any sleep over this issue.

Something I wish could be implemented would be earning trust based on activity without actually posting. I'm on here a lot reading the forums, but I don't actually post that much. I can see that this would be abused though, so maybe it's not such a good idea.
So I should be an Uber-Mythic-Extreme member after my 4 years of lurking, right? ;)

I agree with what many have stated in the last 10 pages in that the mods aren't necessarily more tolerant of higher ranks, but that the higher ranks have a better understanding of where the line is and knowing not to cross it. Of course some people call it elitism (there's that word again...), but again, it's all based on perspective.

Perhaps they don't want to take away people's mythix?

I thought the best social experiment was how people react to their blacklists? Hm....

I just came across this thread.
There was a time where you banned me, and I argued with you. I had fun that night.
After my ban, I came here and whined about it. I still miss my pretty colored bar.

LOL I'm a little stressed about messing up and getting banned. My bro StarAmerica already did, for wueva reason... Still, *I'm used to forums, being a regular at Motor Trend forums. Except you guys are just a tad stricter.

The Risk Is Worth The Reward.
Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Dogs Of War.

Its not very often that *for argument sake we will use a mythic member* a mythic member would act out on the forum and do something against the rules. So on the odd change that one would act out or make a mistake I'm sure the mods would be more willing to forgive them.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Mythic members do stupid -blam!- all the time, you don't notice it because John Q. Forum is too busy gushing over the blue bar.

  • 04.07.2009 2:51 PM PDT

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Ya'll worry to much about what you are going to get and what you are getting. Other people get better treated different all the time, this place is probably going to be - or is - no different.

If you act like a jerk, you're going to get treated like one, and trust me this place has a long memory.
