This topic involves the "This is not a Halo forum" sticky in The Underground.

As you know, The Underground is not a Halo Forum. But recently there has been alot of Halo 1 and Halo 2 topics. Everytime a topic about Halo 1 and 2 is made, the Community makes a post to tell the topic creator that The Underground is not a Halo forum. And that they should re-post their topic in New Mombasa or Zanzibar. But apparently this doesnt get through to their heads. Somthing must be done about this. The Community can only do so much. And the topics that are about Halo 1 or 2 that I see, never seem to get locked or moved. The worst part of it all, is that whenever I tell someone that their topic belongs in New Mombasa or Zanzibar they send me hate mail in my PM Inbox. Telling me I'm a lier and that I dont know what I'm talking about.

Something should be done. But the problem is, I'm not sure what. Harsher rules doesn't seem to be the way to go. But, locking the topics doesn't seem to be working either. So do any of you guys have an idea?

No company that uses terms like, head-to-head, man-on-man, action-sack, and mancannon is homophobic.
I supposed that teabagging is.... what, a representation of a new form of colonoscopy?

I agree, but there isn't much that can be done. About the only thing to do is to ban them from the forums, but I don't think the moderators will do that for a thread in the wrong forum.

Like I said harsher rules aren't the way to go. So what could we do.

If the situation is, that someone posts a Halo 2 topic in the Underground, and you tell them to post in the right forum, that's good. Keep it up. If they however, start spamming your PM box with death threats, forward it to one of the mods, and said person will be warned and then blacklisted if they do not listen.

Just keep up the redirecting. We try, we really do.

Or block them, using the very effective PM Block tool.
