in the old septagon, i used to come up with cool ideas for stuff, they never worked, and always had flaws, but i kept trying, now ive got another idea..i think its pretty cool, but needs a lot of work: cos of all the spam and bad topics in the underground, what if in the underground, topics would be accepted....by moderators, form then on, everyone could post replies freely, but just to narrow down the bad topics... the catch is, you need more mods!! you would probrably need the two most active people form every timezone to pull it off....but hey, just a dream...what do you think?

I'm sorry, newnab, but this may be the worst suggestion I've ever heard for a forum. :)

Impractical, annoying, inconsistent. Although, it would cut down the number of threads on the underground by like a billion. But in the end it'll just kill activity there and an empty underground would probably be worse than it is now.

Sorry, please don't take this personally. :)

bah

I agree, this plan would be bad. Although having a forum where only approved topics are allowed might be interesting. But in order to pull off your idea, every person who has been here for over a year would have to be a mod. This is both impractical and it... Wait a minute... I've been here for over a year! That would make me a mod! I like new1nab113's idea a lot! Make it so Bungie, please!

Lol, back to where I was: ...would be weird. Think about it, the people who are super active would be mods right? But they also happen to be the people who post the most stuff. Therefore, half the posts in the forums would be from a mod. That would be really weird, don't you think?

Who said you were spouting pure crap? When you open yourself to criticizm, expect to get some.

Real world example of why this would not be a great idea, Sony did that for EQ, and it pretty much killed thier community support. So much so that it was the community who created thier own gathering places. Now, most of those indipendent sites have been bought out by someone else other than Sony. Only recently did they re open thier forums.

What would be the point in having a forum if it is so heavily moderated that it drives the community away?

If we ignore history we are doomed to repeat it.

Bungie > Sony. Let's keep it that way ; )
