Can we still make fun of Justin Beiber?



This is a very important question that needs an answer.


If Banpuppy takes that away, Then Banpuppy is abusing his position of power.

Sorry, Cobb, but you can't tell me you have even half the faith in the random jerkwads on the internet required to believe a voluntary report system actually deleting files or causing an author to be fileshare banned would work.
They should either enforce the report system and take down the offensive files, or not enforce either the files or the tags.

Am I bothered by the tag-ban? No. But is it stupidly inconsistent that tags are being moderated while files -- which have much more potential to be offensive -- aren't? Yes.
You're just being obtuse, here. "It's all or nothing!" One system is easy to update and automatically enforce based on a simple word/phrase filter. A single person could add the latest "offensive tag" trend.

One system requires a -blam!- ton of man hours, quite a few of which will be wasted man hours, because the reporting system can easily be abused by people maliciously reporting things just because they don't like a person, or because some guy owned another in matchmaking, or, hell, because it's Tuesday and on Tuesday this guy is offended by map variant descriptions that start with "No one knows...".

I usually consider you quite reasonable and a decently intelligent poster, but on this issue you're coming off as another bandwagon rider trying to find some way to go "ho ho ho, gotcha there, Bungie! Now you have to take away ALL the rules! neener neener!"

Hahaha Banpuppy. I've never had anyone tag my files with "Author Rams" but it's very annoying.

I find it kind of pathetic that when people find an exploit to their system, Bungie simply bans them rather than fixing the exploit.

They can use the exact same system that they use for forum posts. It works well enough.

Posts that get reported aren't immediately moderated. If enough people report them, they enter a queue for the moderators to look at.

Of course, that would only really work with Reach files if a Report option is added to the in-game menus -- where it should've been to begin with.

Thank you for the compliment.

As for "riding the bandwagon"? That's not what I'm doing. I'm not yelling at Bungie just to yell at Bungie. I'm not even really yelling. What I am saying is that they are attacking a very minor issue -- tags -- while leaving a much larger issue -- the files themselves -- untouched.

Again -- they already have a very effective system for reporting offensive content, which they use on the forums. I see no reason why that system can't be ported to the file system. If it is already in use on files, then it can -- and should -- be made more effective by allowing users to report files in-game (which is where most of the trash is actually seen).

You have no sense of humor if you don't find that hilarious. Even funnier is that that file actually used to have 200 tags (the maximum) before several mysteriously disappeared.

Lol I love how people get what they deserve, when doing such stupid and annoying things.

But what about the aptly named ones? Like, in a physics glitch where a tank decides to barrel roll into the author of the film clip, hence "Author rams tanks"?

He has nothing to fear. The moderators of this site are nearly as incompetent as Bungie themselves.

Hi

HAVE MERCY! I just tagged two or three pics with ram tags. Because it was a stupid pic of my guy.

this is a valid point.

i think bungie looks at the word AFTER rams, in this case, cliff is funny, and not inappropriate.
Is "blenders", "blowtorch", or "tv sets" inappropriate?

I'm pretty sure they just did a /^\S+\s+rams\s+\S+$/ search, replacing matches with "My Favorite File" and banning anyone who upvoted them.
Haha. I remember you spamming those tags. Bad kid.

Here's an idea.

Remove Tags all together!

Now I'm starting to get insulting tags and negative tags.

Seriously, just remove the ability to "tag"

You have great skill and potential and the MACHINAMIST COALITION could use Players with your talents.

Or you could just let the author remove unwanted tags, simple, yet bungie still thinks handing out bans is a better solution then actually adressing the root cause of the problem, and that is, not having the ability to alter tags after they have been applied.

*Facepalm


The children who spend hours of personal time tagging hundreds of files over and over again would just keep reapplying the offensive tags. They enjoy irritating people. They are the root cause.


BUNGIE FOR THE WIN!!!

Well I for one am a little annoyed. if the root problem is those who browse for files to tag just to tag them that's fine, but I used an author rams tag once...ONCE! And trust me it was because the file particularly deserved it. I don't recall what it was, but I remember thinking "You know... this actually deserves a bad tag"

Now I can't Tag, use file sets, or post in optimatch. Now you can tell me that I shouldn't have tagged that file fine... but should I also not have paid bungie for Bungie Pro?

If I am giving someone money to use an optimized service on a site, and they cut off some of those services for one tag... well thats just bad business. This 'ban' should have been implemented in stages, For one offense it should have been a one week ban at most.

I have absolutely no moderation history and yet have been banned for one tag, I have never been banned for afk or quitting games either. I'm the kind of player you want in the community, and yet I'm being held back from using a service I PAID FOR.

So Bungie I would encourage you to make an effort to make sure the ban is just, and to make sure you give us the services we paid for.

Or are you going to ban people for teabagging next?
