There is a very fine line between not listening, and not caring.

Bow Chicka Bow Wow!

If he won't then i will. If you would read what you just said about Bungie on the first post on this thread then theres one reason. Reason number two everyone is fed up with cheating and take out there frustration on something. You take it out on Bungie which is not a very good idea considering you are doing it on their forums. So just lighten up a bit and they shouldn't delete your thread again.

How do you know your threads are being deleted?
They probably are just buried under 10 pages of other whiners who think theyre special.

i cant wait to see what they say, this should be amusing.

you are a fool, an insignifigant fool. Your name is smapbotdotnet, gee, I wonder why? Leave and begone. This is not America on these forums, this is a privately owned company, if they don't want you to say things then they can silence you. Besides, they are incredibly lax, you must have really pissed someone off.

HAHA! I love it when people compare having their posting removed to 1984. Have you ever even read the book or are you referring to the Van Halen album? This is a privately run web-site. You have no rights here. You have no freedom of speech here. The fact that Bungie has any sort of forum is a curtousy. Youre not paying to post here, so you dont even have any consumer rights.

I love the fact that no one has thought badly of Bungie for censoring a harmless post, but instead bashed the topic creator for thinking he has rights. Regardless of whether he has rights legally, it's still proper to observe these rights even when they aren't mandated, especially on something as unimportant a thing as a game forum and on a topic that had no offensive language or implication.

But on topic, Bungie is very out of touch with reality, and I think we all know H1>H2.

you just need to pay attention more, and read more.
they said don't do it, or you will be banned, and they listed out what they considered cheating.
i've seen people getting banned. it's kinda funny, most of the time, but they're already doing it, even if it is small-time right now.

the bigger thing though... anything and everything they do to a player while he's got his xbox on and the H2 disc in has to do with the code of the game. everything. so, if they want to do something to a player - say, ban him for 5 minutes, as a warning - it will affect not only his ego, but his xbox.
as was said at least just yesterday (which you probably should have read before flaming up a storm in here like Ellen Degeneres) in the weekly what's update: they are testing everything right now.
they are going to start coming down hard on everything. but, like the map pack, it needs to be tested and retested because it involves the game's programming.
so stop flaming, put up with what little it happens for a little while longer, and go ask mom for breakfast.

Oh, I do realize that I don't have rights on these forums. One of the things I don't like is the fact that Bungie doesn't have the common courtesy, unlike most other comminty hosts, to preserve posters' First Ammendment rights. But what I'm indignant about is that the instant anyone makes a post that isn't full of Bungie buttlust, it gets deleted. That's sure a great way to get realistic feedback from the community!

And hey, while you're at it, maybe you should blacklist me again. 'Cause, you know, last time I was blacklisted for apparently being blacklisted on another account and avoiding it. Too bad my other account probably hasn't even posted.

I'm sorry, but what the #!@& are you talking about? 90% of these forums are threads whining about how much Bungie sucks!

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

You give yourself way too much credit. I don't know what thread you are referring to, but it could have been deleted for any number of reasons, or it was just moved, or it was dumb, nobody replied to it, and is just hiding twenty pages into the past.

As for your more general accusations as to "calling our bluff" and other random whining about not saying what you want here, I think a little review is in order.

1. The code of conduct clearly states that we control everything here, you have no rights, and that you have to play nice. When you created an account, you agreed that this was acceptable. If that is no longer the case, please leave.
2. Considering how much idiotic crap some of you post, I cannot believe you think we are "censoring" you. The amount we let slide here is quite high. If you think otherwise, you're simply blind or foolish.
3. Just because you do not understand or do not have visiblity into our internal policies does not mean things do not happen. Of course, no amount of saying that actually convinces you, so we choose to simply keep working. No matter what we do, at least 25% of you will complain that we "destroyed Halo". This, despite the fact that we can see just how often all of you play.
4. For the record, Bungie is not required to have a customer service department, really. We are a developer, Microsoft, the publish, is responsible for customer support. There are phone numbers, support.microsoft.com articles, and such, to help you with such problems. We keep bungie.net and this forum up because we feel that you guys deserve a more personal interaction with the game and the developer of that game. Most of you seem to appreciate that, but still others think it is a license to complain about anything you want. I don't mind complaining, you paid for the game, after all... however, lots of you seem to forget that "Play nice" is part of the rules here. There is a way to present an arguement, and that way is not to start an interoggation.
5. Finally, even if you STILL want to be an ass about whatever it is that your original point was, I have a few words for you: Bungie controls everything. While I try to allow you to speak your mind here, if you are disruptive to this forum, I will kick you to the curb so fast you won't notice me swinging. The reason you have no rights here is precisely because of people like you who don't understand that having the "right" to say something doesn't mean that you get to override other people's opinions (including mine).

Oh, and by the way, this thread WAY offtopic for this forum. It is very likely it will be moved to The Septagon.

Come on mods. Achronos? Come on in and 1984 it up some more. Anyone wanna tell me why my thread was deleted? Oh, wait, I've got it: it questioned Bungie's stance on cheating. It called the bluff. It called BS on the constant vague threats to cheaters and the incredibly broad definition of cheating.

Can you not handle satire? Can you not handle unsatifsied customers? Is it just me, or is a fricken customer service department not just there to have shiny gold letters and talk down to all the free-thinking infidels?

Just explain to me why you deleted it. Not only do I want a reason, but I suspect I'll get a laugh. And while you're at it, delete this one too. Thanks.

By the way, from now on I'll be saving copies of my threads. This is the only forum I have to do it for.

You really presume to compare Bungie to BIG BROTHER?

Well, start writin' in your diary friend. If that's the way you view it, that's certainly the way it's going to be for you.

Try bookmarking your threads. Most of them are still there. I've checked. You were apparently too lazy to go looking for them. You wouldn't figure that a forum with about a million users would bump a few threads now would ya?

Oh, hey spambotdotnet! Welcome to the Septagon!

So let's see... Bungie dealing with cheating and handling satire and unsatisfied customers.

Yes, can anyone provide some input on this? How does Bungie handle satire, for example?

Of course -- the original space for the thread will have since moved, and he'll claim his thread was deleted again.

I love these people.
