Ok, then why NOT pick some decent mods for this forum? You know, people who actually give a toss about The Maw! There are more thyan a few people here who would be willing to take the job on.
I think that maybe they should look at appointing certain SENSIBLE people from each forum to moderate thier peers. Only seems right to me. That way we can erradicate this useless system (if that's what you can call it) and get back to some sort of normallity. Of course, the existing mods would be opposed, probably because they would lose thier privelages, but the way I see it, those privellages are being mis-used and where I come from if you mis-use your privelages you lose them. Simple!
There are a few of us here that have been here for a considerable amount of time and we have seen The Maw go from a friendly, helpfull forum into a big black hole, and I don't blame the visitors (completely). When decent threads are locked for no apparent reason and flamers and people after pirated copies of Halo PC are left to do as they wish, something is definately not right!
Thing is though Mr.B, the mods are hoping for the sort of apathy that you have just dispolayed, hoping, well no, wiating for this to blow over. I'm not a happy chap at the moment with the current situation and I don't think the boys (and girls) at Bungie would be too happy about the crap that's allowed to go on here.
Are you happy to see things continue the way they are, or are you prepared to take a stand? I personnally can't stand the current situation and it seems that I'm not alone. After all, what's the point in having The Maw for Halo PC if we can't discuss Halo and PC related issues in piece without fear of getting blacklisted?
I've just been over to Zanzibar again and I couldn't believe the stuff that's being posted! There are thread titles that would have equalled an instant ban in my forum, but they are allowed to continue without so much as a warning! Why should we bear the brunt? Ok, sometimes there ARE some dodgy people on here, but on the whole, we are a peacefull bunch who do NOT deserve to be treated the way that we currently are.
On another note/ example or whatever you want to call it... The Map Vault sticky. After PM'ing the mod concerned, I decided to take it upon myself to try and sort it out and contacted several of the Halo CE map sites to see if they could help out by letting us link to certain files, but the unanimous reply was 'no', so instead of messing around any further, I built another (smaller) version of Halomaps to satisfy the demand and notified the mod... Guess what? No response and I think they have absolutely no intention of actually doing anything about the sticky, so just remove the damn thing! What's the point in asking members to do something and then just blanking them when they do?! You make me sick, so take your empty gestures and I'm sure I don't need to tell you what to do with them...
How about some feedback Bungie, things CANNOT continue the way they are and you know it! Pass the moderating onto people who actually care and would actually do the job instead of acting like they are something special, and this place could go back to some kind of normality...
You know it makes sense!
