I have no knowledge of that thread you're talking about but in my opinion your threads all consist of the same thing. They center around "Reach sucks because of _________". I'm guessing you've created at least three threads explaining why the campaign sucks. All of which consisted of the same points (bad character development, let down environments, and pretty good graphics if my memory serves).

Maybe people are tired of reading the same thing over and over?

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

At this point it's just beating a dead horse. Everything that could be discussed about Reach has already been said countless times.

..but now we're also being reported and ganged-up on and we're running the risk of bans...
I doubt that ninja's start banning as soon as a post has enough reportsn, even if it doesn't always look like it, they read the posts too.

These appear to be your last options:

1) Continue posting in the mains and deal with these problems
2) Stick to Private Groups
3) Create an alt

Honestly, at this point... since I know you don't like private groups, #3 seems to be your best option. You've got that reputation for whatever reason, that everyone wants to jump in your threads and start problems. If your only interest is having discussions without facing the problems you seem to be facing with each thread you personally participate in, an alt is your best bet. I know you've got a couple out there already...

I still say private groups are the way to go but if you haven't found one you particularly like, try a new username. No one will know its you. Or, a new community?

You write quite long threads with controversial titles and post them in the Reach forum.

Most people there don't read more than the title before replying. If they don't like your title, they assume they won't like your thread and report it.

It's really your own fault. Think of the Reach forum as a 6 year old boy. Sure, you can write him the greatest essay ever made, but he isn't going to care about anything else other than the title.

This is ingenious! Post a thread in the Reach Forum with the title "Reach is awesome", or words to that effect, and then make a long post explaining why it isn't.

Nobody will read past the title and everyone will agree!

Sarcasm is for the weak minded.

I'm just saying. If he wants it to stop, he should make more 'appropriate' titles and limit the body of the thread.

Remember, young people that come to Bungie.net are more likely to post in the Reach forum. Mature discussion is rare if you have a different point of view.

I might be weak minded but at least I don't think I'm superior for no good reason.

I'm sure most of B.net is aware of the infamous thread in the Reach forum where I harshly presented my opinion.


Wait...what? There is a Reach forum?

  • 06.28.2011 7:35 AM PDT

I remember seeing Goat in the Reach forums before I stopped going there. He actually made good threads that I enjoyed reading. I am not sure what his latest thread was about, but I remember he was one of the few people there that had any sense to their thread. And I also don't remember him bashing Reach so I hope he hasn't joined the Reach hate club.

- Soybeans are good for you.

I HATE PRE-TITLE UPDATE REACH. THANKS BUNGIE FOR RUINING REACH. P.S. WORST $150 I EVER SPENT IF I CANT EVEN PLAY YOUR DAMN GAME WITHOUT GETTING MAD.

Its HIS opinion, and he was right. People on the Reach forum are mostly fanboys who think your a troll if you say -blam!- about Reach. You guys need to understand that Reach wasnt anywhere near Bungie's best at all. It Failed in campaign, Multiplayer was a pathetic excuse for a halo game- spent -blam!- to no time on the maps therefore, we got -blam!-. Also, AAs are bad and not even close to the past Halos. If you guys dont like what he has to say, then dont read his posts. Its that simple. Just dont blame him for speaking the truth.

This response exemplifies the problem with the Reach forum.

If you disagree, you are automatically a fanboy. If you agree, you're a hater. There's no middle of the road, and no room for discussion. Hatfields vs Macoys, Republicans vs Democrats, Reach haters vs Reach fanboys... it's all the same. If some one disagrees with your opinion, they're automatically wrong, and immediately stereotyped.

This happens more frequently than not in the Reach forum. The real tragedy is that the valid and intelligent points get consumed in the flames that are exchanged.

Unfortunately, part of it does have to do with how points are presented in that forum. If it's opinion, you must concede that you may be wrong, or at least realize that you could be wrong. It's just your opinion. It's ok to change your opinion based on new information. It's part of learning. My opinion has changed much over time based on the things I learn every day here. Oh course, this is just my opinion... :)

When the OP was uncensored the following day, I was going to edit it and make it a little more constructive. To my dismay, I was unable to edit the post because it had been previously reported. When I try to edit it, I am graced by an error page instead. This is the second time this has happened to me, and to be quite honest it's getting to be really ridiculous.

This is why you spend six months writing a thread so that no sane individual can disagree with it and nobody finds it offensive.


This would be great but sane people rarely post in the game forums.

Sometimes it's fun to sit in your lofty tower, sipping wine calmly, confident in the strength of your fortifications as the peasants who live in the valley below throw themselves against your walls time and time again in their futile attempts to overthrow your rule.

...

On topic Goat, the sun is setting on Bungie's involvement with Halo. Although they really haven't said anything in response to the many criticisms of the game, I'm sure they've pretty much gotten the point by now, and are eager to do bigger and better with their next game series. Creating critical posts in the Reach Forums only serves to try to convince silly and stubborn people that you're right and they're wrong, which never works, as they will always come up with some justification, however flawed it might be, to explain why the game should be as it currently is.

Just take a break. Bungie Day will come and go, they'll all go off to 343 Industries, and when the dust clears we can patiently wait and speculate until Bungie's next game takes off. It's okay to let some people wallow in their ignorance, a rich man does not pick fights as the proverb says.

Spam is okay, as long as it is not excessive.
Retardation is frowned upon, but somewhat acceptable.

Same thing happened to my gargantuan thread. It's annoying.

Does this deserve to be reported? No, no it doesn't.

Your thread looked like a typical troll thread. It's hard to distinguish what your post was when there are so many trolls posting threads that are similar in nature to yours.

So basically any thread that isn't pro-reach is a troll one?

Yet another perfect example of rational discussion being thrown out the window. You pick one arbitrary thing that you don't like and completely miss the entire point of a thread. It's not "most of B.net", but anyone who has visited the Reach forum in the days since he posted that thread has almost definitely seen it on the front page. That's a lot of B.net.

I agree with what other people have been saying here: I think the topic of your thread killed any chance it had at having reasonable discussion. Obviously Reach needed a campaign, it just needed a better campaign. You wanted to change it later, which is good of you, but you've been around here long enough to know better, Goat. :P

Yet another perfect example of someone expecting every single person that reads bungie.net to read an entire post before posting.

I find the OP very uninteresting as i've already seen discussions of report button abuse/tag abuse/abuse/abuse/cyber bullying/abuse. I just found the opening line to be... funny. I mean really, i laughed at it.

Cool story, battle bro!

Also, the game.

The "A 3 Legged Goat" Method of Making a Hot Thread

1. Post something controversial. For example, "Armor Lock is broken! I hate bloom!"

2. Construct the thread in a nicely worded fashion so that the mindless -blam!-ing is hidden.

3. Have your buddies come into the thread and defend you and say things like, "Goat's threads speak the truth! I love you Goat!"

4. ???????

5. PROFIT

Sadly Goat, Bungie are no longer in charge of Halo, any and all constructive criticism posts are just going to be ignored. Those who will be doing a title update will be 343i, it is just a shame there was never any mention of problems players were having with the game in the Bungie weekly updates.

I do like some of your posts, although I do not agree on some of them, you sure do know how to strike a cord with some people. The reach forum does have to be treated like a 6 year old, whenever a problem comes up with a challenge being rested or something is not working right, they flock to the forum and post before thinking about what it is that could be doing it.

It gets so many spam and repeat threads, not to mention the troll threads from newly created accounts. I do suspect they might shut down that forum once bungie day is over, but that is just my opinion.

People who can abuse a system, will abuse it.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

You need to rethink and rework yourself Goat. B.B.(GRHS) used to post threads in the Halo 3 forum and would have the same thing happen to him. Quite frankly he loved it. In his mind it just made him right. Maybe you should try it out.
