It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I play Abuse, Myth and the occasional Marathon, but I'm not a mod :(

I can give you my opinion but i'am not a mod.

1. Yes because they deserve to get banned. I'am pretty sure the ninja's can only recommend people for blacklisting the master forum ninja's do the actual blacklisting.

2. I think it was on 10/12/2001 but i'am sure there was a bungie community site before that.

3. Because we were having a problem with spammers obviously.

4. Mainly because people abused the fact they could use coloured writing.

5. Last time i checked most of the mods play halo 2 very little or not at all because bungie was here well before Halo ever heard of Marathon or Myth or Oni? Also i heard that at the weekend they take care of orphaned kittens.

6. I've already described that the master forum ninja's have extra powers and they usually take care of extra orphaned kittens.

I'm definitely no mod, however I can answer some of your questions.


Q:When did Bungie.net first start?
A:


You'll have to take this one up with Achronos. I can guess that it's been going in fome form or another (it's gone through at least three evolutions that I can remember) for several years. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say since at LEAST 1998.


Q:Why did you guys place the anti spam filter in the first place?
A:


It was implemented because they wanted to make the forums have less of a (you guessed it!) spam problem. I don't know if you were around for any of the so-called "spam attacks", but they weren't pretty, I can tell you that. The fact that the normal user is sometimes restricted from posting more than once a minute can seem like an annoyance at first, but after you sit and think about all of the spam attacks this baby will save us, 60 seconds seems like a small price to pay.


Q:Why did you take away the color markup tags?
A:


Achronos mentioned awhile back that they were being abused. Plus it was just plain annoying, you had members posting in lime green constantly to make themselves feel Superior.

Q:Why is there a Master Forum Ninja when we have Forum Ninja don't they do the same thing and same powers?
A:


The difference is simple, Forum ninjas are unable to edit bans, only had them out. The Masters can edit bans and accept front page news stories at their leisure.

Also they can Perma Ban. Which mean they can ban you forever. Im not sure if they have anything else extra.

Forum Rules.
FAQ.
I'm certifiable.

Q: Do you like blacklisting people?
A: No. The paperwork is murder.


Q:When did Bungie.net first start?
A: I couldn't say... it was about the time that Myth came out, and that's well before I became involved with Bungie.


Q:Why did you guys place the anti spam filter in the first place?
A: It's called an "anti-spam" filter. Three guesses. (And we didn't put it into place; that was Achronos.)


Q:Why did you take away the color markup tags?
A: Again, it's Achronos who controls the site settings. I believe he said that the tags were being abused; if so, he was right.


Q:Is there anything else you guys do other than play Halo 2 and hang out here on Bungie.net?
A: Many things. Some of them even printable.


Q:Why is there a Master Forum Ninja when we have Forum Ninja don't they do the same thing and same powers?
A: Not quite; Master Ninjas can approve news and edit blacklistings too.

You can also set bans to end like on 12/31/9999. That's funny.

Hey if i created a account called Guinness4Life could one of the mods ban it for me until the year that the lease on the Dublin St James Gate Guinness brewery runs out. Which would be in 10759.

Q: Do you like blacklisting people?
A:


No. I don't like feeling like a babysitter.

Q:When did Bungie.net first start?
A:


'97, with the release of Myth. Before Bungie.Net, there was Bungie.com. Since then, the two have merged.

Q:Why did you guys place the anti spam filter in the first place?
A:


Uh, because of the spam.

If you're asking why didn't the spam filter go up with the new website, it was because we assumed that it wouldn't be necessary. Never underestimate the power of idiots.

Q:Why did you take away the color markup tags?
A:


Because people weren't using them properly.

Q:Is there anything else you guys do other than play Halo 2 and hang out here on Bungie.net?
A:


Yes.

Q:Why is there a Master Forum Ninja when we have Forum Ninja don't they do the same thing and same powers?
A:


Master Forum Ninja have the ability to give blacklistings of variable length, and the ability to give fan-submitted news topics approval. We're also the people to go to if you feel a Forum Ninja has been unjust.

And that's when the say: "Shutup. You broke the rules. Go crawl back into your spider hole. The moderator knoes what he is doing. Please stop complaining." haha. Well, I assume that that's what they say.

Well, I sure as heck hope they say that. For all I know Shishka could be getting angrier and angrier with me for wrongfully banning people.

I am not a mod but I have been here awhile to know what happened.

Q: Do you like blacklisting people?
A: In the groups I am a mod. No.


Q:When did Bungie.net first start?
A: Tricky, I'd say 1996 to 1998. When they Relesed Myth and MIrcosoft did not own Bungie. The site was written New Times Roman.


Q:Why did you guys place the anti spam filter in the first place?
A: I think why Bungie put in the Anti spam Filter was for one reason: Spam.


Q:Why did you take away the color markup tags?
A: I think because they were being abused and now we have blue, mods white and Bungie Staff in gold.


Q:Is there anything else you guys do other than play Halo 2 and hang out here on Bungie.net?
A: I go on Warhammer and listen to heavy metal. Lol I am only 13.


Q:Why is there a Master Forum Ninja when we have Forum Ninja don't they do the same thing and same powers?
A: A Master Forum Ninja can put in newsletter with free will, they can put in Permas and promote people.
