Just don't post as much. Lurking is quite fun at times.


I like to lurk, but when I do post, I get the message because I type fast.

I'm sure there aren't so many threads worth posting in (unless you're a moderator).

I think that is pretty much going to stamp out much of the argument because most people will try and play the Freedom of Speech card, which if you read above… yeah…

The anti-spam filters are fine. I've only had it happen to me once, and I'd rather have that than people spamming the forums. If you don't like it, tough.

So you'd rather have your posts/topics drown in pages of spam than wait a measly minute?

I started to find myself lurking long before the filter was in place, so I see no problem with it. Also, "unconstitutional"? C'mon. This isn't a government...

That is correct, Bungie supplies these forums free of charge to us and as such they have the right to do whatever they want.

The only thing I don't like is the one minute thing. And thats not all that bad. Even though I am a pretty fast typer. I have no problem with the rest of it.

The anti-spam gadget interferes with the constitutional freedom of speech the same way that traffic lights interfere with the constitutional freedom of movement.

The Freedom of Speech thing doesn't apply here. Even if this wasn't a privately owned site. It is an international one. Not every member of bnet knows what the Bill of Rights is.

That's right. My plumage is brighter than yours.

I invented the freedom of speech rule, so I can tell you as it's idealogical founder that it was meant for actually vocal speech, not forum typing.

I mean this as a non-polical question, just for fact finding: In Britain do you really not have a constitutional right to free speech?

This poll is missing at least one option. I think the new filter is a good thing.

lol, no we have a lawful right to free speech if we don't have a constitution then we don't have constitutional rights. We have lawful right's. Its basically the same but the term for me would be unlawful not unconstitutional.

People that hang around here are sad. I admit that I'm a sad bastard myself (freely and openly!) but some are more sad than others....

Free speech?! I thought he was talking about my constitutional right to not have property acquired from me on unjust terms!

See, this is what happens when you don't explain the subject line within your post.
