Subject: Dear Mods, we love you, so we are going to shape up.

Many people nowaday on the bungie forums, just dont respect our wonderful moderators. Our mods do many a thing for us. They keep our forums free of spam and many other things. Our mods will hear us when we are in trouble, or being flamed, they stop it. I always imagine Maka flying in with a cape to stop the evil doers--- i mean spammers. (Shishka i always imagined as a ninja, Stosh as a marine with an itchy trigger finger, yoozel as a smart 6 year old with super powers, reginko...viking..., and Goweb to be like master hand from Super Smash brothers... dont ask why...AND, i cant forget Achronos [who is not really a mod] who i always veiwed as God).

One of the best parts about the mods is their tolerance. People will spam and spam, and they will always be polite. I dont know how they resist jumping through the computer screen and beating the living -blam!- out of the disrespectful ingrates who make their jobs a hastle. They always keep cool. That, and they usually have a great sense of humor.


_____________________________________________

Now here is the part where all the members of the website who are not moderators can kick in and help.


1. You can stop spamming. It's not that hard, really. i know that it is fun, and you may like to joke around with the mods, but they dont like it, and it's making them do more work then they have to.

2. When you post, think twice before you click submit (especially in new mombasa). Please, if you are going to make a topic that really isn't doind much, dont submit it. Also, when you double check, make sure it is in the right forum. Save the mods some work.

3. Make sure a topic hasn't already been posted before you post a new thread.

4. Dont flame a moderator for locking your thread. There is a reason for it, whether it has gotten out of hand, already been discussed, inappropriate, spam, or just dumb. They probably locked it because they had to. If you have a problem with a Mod, PM the mod. Dont make a whole new thread saying "MODS SUCK!!!".

5. Be nice and friendly to the mods, they are good people.

6. Dont write in caps lock to get attention. It just makes you look dumb. And for the love of god, do not write in bright colors. It not only annoys the Mods, but it gives everyone a migrane.

_____________________________________________

thank you for reading, and maybe we can make these forums a better place for the mods, and less strenuous. I may have left out a few things to help the mods. if i have, please do tell me, and i will put it up.

P.S.: sorry if this is in the wrong forum. that would be strangely ironic...

At first, I thought this was another "mods r cool" thread; I was wrong

Oh, and the cape suggests that I also would wear tights...so I'm going to have to disagree on that one :)

Sadly, I still act that way.. "Mum, I want a cookie!" "No" *starts to try* <-- Yeah, that's about right.

[color=crimson]Unfortunately, the spammers never visit the Septagon, so there is a low chance of them ever reading this. Otherwise, I'd say you summed up all the problems with the forums, maybe add something about spelling. In my opinion, correct spelling will make you look smarter, and more mature, but that's just me. Good work on the rest of it though.[/color]

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

We're going to shape up?

*Breaks out into song*

This forum's got spaaaaam, it's multiplying.
The mods are looooosing controool.
But the poweeeeer, bungie's supplying, it's electrifying.

We'd better shape up,
clear these forums of spam,
If not Yoozel will fart on yoooou

We'd better shape up.
We gotta understand,
there's something more for us to do.

Something more, something more for us to doooo

It's the forum's I love, these are the ones I want.
ooo, ooo ooo
It's the forums I love, these are the ones I want
ooo, ooo oo

Oh what the forums neeeeeeed,
is for us to do good deeeeeeeeds.

ITS THE FORUMS I LOVE!

[/end]

Wow I am talented. Just ignore me, it's what everybody else does.

Anyway now that I have sung, I'd like to agree with you. These forums could be improved. A joke can be thrown in a topic here or there and it could go a little off topic but some of the stuff posted at some of the forums is just so... pointless. We'll have to help out. especially around the release of H2.

Not only is this thread a good place to start getting everyone to act more mature (as in posting more intelligently) but it's also a good place to remind everyone, that this is Bungie's ground we're treading on, and we need to respect their rules of the land in exchange for them allowing us to be here and participate in B.net.

Yes... you have some great points there, bad I'd have to also say that spammers probably won't listen to you. Those of us who are going to read and think about this are those who already follow the rules, and try to help the mods as much as possible.

And I can't help but laugh at the irony of Crimson Kenny writing in red and the break into song...

By the way, where were you Crimson Kenny? You missed the whole thread in the Underground about appropriate spelling/grammar/etc. which sadly had to be ended because of the spam and flaming that is the point of this thread :( Scarily though, alot of the flaming was directed against me... I really am a nice guy I swear!

But yeah... follow the rules and help the mods!!!

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

2. When you post, think twice before you click submit (especially in new mombasa). Please, if you are going to make a topic that really isn't doind much, dont submit it. Also, when you double check, make sure it is in the right forum. Save the mods some work.

I can't even begin to count how many replies I would have made to various threads if I hadn't "thought twice." That is, in my opinion, the best guideline to follow.

[color=crimson]Same here. At least fifty times I've started to write a response, thought twice, and ended up not saying anything at all. Yeah, respect the mods, they are smart, and stuff...[/color]

Ha Ha! not to mention Crimson, all the possible replies we were coming up with, with Lenny in Germany! then I'd say about 200. </overexageration(sp)>

Oh yes, we were getting furious, reading through inane threads, trying to clearify, save, and replenish them. We really took this seriously. Actually I think it is funny, discussing with people over possible responds. It's not only funny, but it adds quality to a post. Many people should take this into consideration, along with proofreading and restructuring their posts.

Another thing: Reprpezekiel = Lenny

Just for those who didn't figure it out.

Now to the mods, I admire what you are doing. It must be quite a task to read through masses of information. Good job on keeping this place organized!

Well I'd better because...

"If not yoozel will fart on yoooou"

Go buy ESPN or RS3:BA then, damn it. Much better than CS or GRIT. Thats the only reason I didn't sell them to get RS3:BA, though. So I could still play you <3 <3 <3 :P

Although I must warn you, I don't have the greatest of singing voices. And if stosh ever gets on we could do a duet for him.

Shishka was mentioned in the same post along with the word "tolerance"? That's amazing. I've hung around HBO around 2 years and have seen this "tolerance" in action.

It's terrifying...and usually funny.

Teh Mark.

Just in case you come across this, Shishka, I think your friend Egyptian Jackal has challenged your authority over in New Mombasa.

If this was at HBO, I'd enjoy watching you spread his extra-crispy carcass across the forum. Repeatedly. You're too nice here.

Yeah. Vikings are cool.

As for brightly coloured text, it doesn't bother me a bit. I have the intelligence and luck of being a Mac user, and Safari for some reason doesn't display coloured text on these forums - everything comes up in the default blue. The bonus is two-fold: I don't have to see some of the jarring colours some people use, and I can read all the hidden messages you people all write in the background colour.

That's why you never try to insult a Mac user behind his back - you'll get caught, and beaten with splintered wooden sticks across the face. :)
