Subject: Remove the Rules from the Reach Forum

The Ninja's do enforce the rules in the Reach forum, there's just so many threads being in made in such a short time you probably don't notice them.

This is what needs to happen:

I am...the law!
Drop...your stat flaming!
These threads...are under...arrest!
THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!



I've never wanted to be a Ninja before, but now I want to be one just so I could say that.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

We call that The Flood

The Flood is tolerable compared to the Reach Forum.
At least I can go into The Flood, I don't even go near the Reach Forum.

I say keep the rules. They may not always be followed, and occasionally gets out of hand, but it is better that it is there. I mean, it could be worse. Right?

Ah, this brings back memories of the good ol' H3 forum. The ninja's try their best you'll just have to accept the way the forum is and take everything with a grain of salt.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

I know if I were still in orange you would probably be on a month long ban by now.

Did I make you mad? lol


You were never in orange, what are you talking about?

OT: The Reach forum is bad enough if you remove the rules Achronos would HAVE to nuke the forum.

He sorta, was.


It was a joke? I remember him being a Ninja.

My idea of enforcement isn't so much as to just lock threads, but give a fair ban to those who flame others. You can't make a single thread on that forum without being flamed about your stats, play style, or skill.

My Reach stats

Stupid colonels trying to talk down to people above them. They're like the homeless people of Halo's socioeconomic scale. They stink, they get in the way, they abuse people they shouldn't and they think they can do anything.

Get out of here you smelly colonels.

I think you need to take things less seriously there. Getting offended over that stuff is ridiculous.

Getting offended is a completely different subject. Flaming makes having a legitimate conversation impossible about the game.

If you wanted legitimate discussion why did you go to the Reach forum in the first place? Even back when the mods actually went there, all the banning and lacking they did was still not enough. there's no way to make it any more than a large private group with almost no rules

Now the flood is attacking it, may I suggest that we just nuke the flood and merge the Halo forums with the Universe forum?

The Reach forum is filled with new members who haven't even read the forum rules. It is impossible to control.

i am not shawn from youtube, I created this username because I thought it was an unique name but if I could change it I would since it did not belong to me originally

The rules serve as a limitation for the Reach forum posters. If the rules were taken away then the forum would devolve into a state of chaos. It's lucky enough that we got moderaters who ban people who put in meatspin links.

The Flood is pretty bad when it comes to spam threads and parodies, but the level of flaming on the Reach forum is greater than the flaming in every other forum combined including the Flood forum.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Changes are a comin to the forums soon.

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

If you remove the rules, it will get worse.

Duh?

Nobody will care about the Reach forum after Bungie day. All the constructive posts will disappear and you'll see nothing but trolls.

Don't go there if you're going to get upset when somebody calls you out on something. That's the way things work.

Reach forum was once a constructive place, and then as soon as the game came out people who would follow Bungie to their graves came to defend a game that didn't need defending. Now all those constructive comments are labeled with trolls and haters (most of which disappeared after a few months).

This. Reach defenders brought it upon themselves.

On a side note, why would you care if someone calls you bad over the internet?

Don't act innocent when you yourself are at least partially responsible for the mentality that goes on in that forum. Yes, the Reach forum was very constructive before the game (before the beta really), but that's irrelevant.

I'm not as stubborn as you may think. If someone makes a good point, I'll concede that, but your continuous condescension completely demonstrative of what the Reach forum has devolved into.

Don't try to appear to be separate from the flock when you are driving the mentality, Goat.

Because it derails the conversation! I don't care if self-proclaimed "skilled player" is calling me bad. However, when flaming turns out to derail the conversation, then it becomes annoying.

And it's very amusing how you say "defending" the game. Implying I find Reach perfect.

People are condescending because good points are being associated with all the other trolls. At this point, you either understand it or you don't, because nobody has patience to explain themselves due to the generalizations being tossed about.

Let me get this straight.

You feel that your points are being given equal merit as "troll" points, and it thus leads you to talk in a condescending manner to anyone who disagrees with your views of the game?

The only question this invokes in me is the following:

Are you so insecure about your talking points that you have to resort to condescension to make your case? You're changing your strategy because of trolls?

Nah, it's just that anyone who disagrees is a troll. I see.
