What would you accomplish by getting the flood nuked?

Stopping them from attacking other forums/things like they keep doing?

Want Coup? Here it is for Chrome.

[url=http://iggyhopper.dyndns.org/gm/extensions/coup_d_bungie _4.crx[/url]

When in the course of floodian events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the floodian bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the Bungie.net forums, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of the Forums and of Nature's Achronos entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Nukeation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all forum go-ers are created equal, that they are endowed by their Achronos with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of the Flood.

That to secure these rights, Forum Rules are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the Floodians. That whenever any form of Achronos becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the Floodians to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Achronos, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and The Flood.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Achronos long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that Floodiankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils (septagon) are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forums to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Achronos, and to provide new guards for their future security of the Flood.


(I felt this was necessary, considering it's independence day and all.)

The fun of spending 10 pages coming up with increasingly elaborate analogies as they are progessively shot down as being ever more stupid.

This is a really stupid idea.

You seem to forget that it would probably provoke us more? Plus flood has a group.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I think the OP, and anyone that actually supports the "removal" of the Flood is a complete idiot.

The Flood easily contains the most intelligent, opinion-respecting, mature members. If anything, remove the Halo:Reach forum. I see an obvious troll thread bumped up to 200-300 replies within an hour. It's ridiculous.

I don't get how you can justify the removal of a forum because of a couple of people trolling other forums.

At first, sure, but do you really think the flood would hold a grudge for more than say a month?

And I didn't even know about said group, obviously it's not as big as the actual flood, not to mention if the group starts causing trouble it too will be deleted.

That would only move those types of people to private groups, where moderators would be almost completely useless.

Yeah but we are not some -blam!- dogs so you could say it differently.

We're talking about regulating an internet forum, not oppressing an ethnic group of people.

good thing for the off site group then

What with the Halo forums being either disbanded or removed in the near future, I can't think it a good idea for the community here to eliminate any other forum as well.

If said groups cause issues Achronos would delete them, he peaks into groups causing trouble.

If you're actually in the mindset to delete a forum, then how can you not ban the users who feed trolls, make useless threads, and flame other users? Go to the Reach forum, why don't you?

The stupidity there is unbelievable.

What I'm trying to say that this is all in all a terrible idea. Not to mention it has no chance of being, well, done.

Give me a break. I don't know about you, but the Reach forum definitely has an equal amount of trolling and flaming, if not more, than the Flood. I don't know what this "Long streak of attacks" is you're talking about you.

Come on the Flood. There aren't "Lets launch an attack against the Halo 3 forum!" going on. I've been frequenting the Flood for a year, I have seen almost nothing like that ever happen in that past year.

There are people that still resent Porch Day. We will hold a grudge.
Also, they wouldn't delete the group. In example, the coup d bungie group allows members to bypass the filter. Duardo mods that group, I think. And it hasn't been deleted.

Exactly. It's in the posting rules: They are OK with it.

Maybe it could be timed better, or would have to be presented in a certain way, but I still think that the flood forum should either be "redone" or have some sort of ... control.

To stop it from waging the wars it's so used to waging.

Hey who knows, maybe the flood will calm down once all the trolls that came here from Halo leave.

Posted by: Ketsumaye
Thats not what I was saying, people can do in private groups whatever they want the same way the flood can do whatever it wants within it's own forum, it's repeated attacks that call for a group's/forum's destruction.

But see, it can't be deleted. It's used for discussion and criticism. Just because there are a few flamers and trollers on the Reach forum doesn't mean it has to be deleted. It means there has to be more mods. The same goes for the Flood.

I mean should a forum that throughout it's existance has a long streak of attacks on other forums/websites with no indication of ceasing said activity really be a forum who's ends justify it's means?


Because everybody who uses the Flood acts like that, right?

What? So you don't care what someone's meaning is as long as they use the exact phrase "I respectfully disagree"?

Alright, I'll try it. I respecfully disagree with that logic because I think it's retarded.
That is not what I was saying at all, would you read the whole quote pyrimid or at least read the whole post before attacking me? Damn floodians.

I was saying that just because not everyone said "PUSH OP OFF A BUILDING" doesn't mean only one person was attacking me, the same way that just because people didn't say the exact words "I respectfully disagree" doesn't mean that posts don't exist that say something to that effect.

God.
Ah I see. Apologies, but please be a bit more specific/clear in your statements. Your phrasing can be very poor.

  • 07.04.2011 7:59 PM PDT

I think the OP is jealous because Floodians are Bungie.net's Master Race.
