I really do feel sorry for people like Eagle creating these amazing theories only to watch them be spammed to death! I've made one myself.... here, only to see it get washed away with new topics such as "Halo 2's gonna be soo cool" & my personal favourite: "Wouldn't a Halo movie be soo Great!!!" After a while.... i've slowly become a bit peed off about all of this and thought up an unthinkable idea :S

Yes... i know it probably won't happen as it would create a huge workload to revamp the site to get it going... but wouldn't it be pretty neat if there was a dedicated forum theories... upon where only approved new topics were added, preventing spam topics and useless, already thought up ideas?

I just thought i would post this idea up as an idea for the next update to B.net

Any comments people?

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!

The mods are busy as it is. Although it's a good idea, they don't have the time to sit there and approve topics all day long. It'd be better to have them moderate the forums.

I just noticed that an "ignore list" feature has been added to the My Settings section.

Cool! Now we can just "tune out" Davester88 and that -blam!- poster, so we don't have to see their stupid troll posts. Good one, Achronos!

You see... i have a plan for that... if you look in New Mombassa... then there isn't actually many theories so there wouldn't actually be that much posted. How about appointing a new mod JUST to moderate that forum and then a bit of the others if they have any time?

It's not going to happen but i can wish :)

That has been there for a while (I've been using it since I found it at least a couple of months ago) and I think it just applies to Private Messages...

I volunteered, but Shishka says there aren't any openings.

--Mr. Smith hopes that Shishka's headache has diminished today.

Forums dont lie! They fart!
And ohhhhhhh you did. shame on you!

And if they were going to have to aprove topics then they would need some one online all the time and on every forum. That would be hard!

No they wouldn't... i'm sure no decent theorie poster would mind having to wait a few hours for their work to be approved and submitted.

Yes i know it's not my forum and i'm not a mod... but neither are you so let it go ;)

I still stand by my idea that we need a seperate, orderered area for all the extremely decent posts - like eagles - where they can live out their lives in peace :)

well atleast we agree hahah..thats good (hopefully no hard feelings)

but i do agree.. i have started a few "ok" posts for ppl to turn around and say "who cares" and then for someone to turn around and post the same thing that is worded different and everyone says its ok...

Maybe when the new 7th column is up... will there be anyway to add theories into a database in there to keep? - With the author's permission of course!
