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.

I don't know how many of you frequent the Universe forum but I do and over the past few weeks it seems to me that there have been fewer and fewer locked threads in the forum, and this is not for a lack of thread that need to be locked.

For example this thread has been collapsed for a day and no moderators have locked it when it is obviously a thread meant to troll the forum.

Not only are there obvious troll threads that have been collapsed and yet to be locked. But there has been a huge increase in off topic posts in the forum that are also left to float around. Member status questions, clan recruitment among others. Off topic posts in forums are my pet peeve on Bungie.net and it needed to be mentioned.

Not only that but in various threads there are often users who blatantly break the site rules, in terms of simply attacking users and their opinions. Another rule being broken that I'm sure the various denizens of the Universe have noticed is rampant bumping, for example in this thread which is not only off topic, it talks about swag bags, but the OP has been bumping it daily in an attempt to get a reply from a Bungie employee. This has been going on since BEFORE Bungie Day, how has it gone unnoticed?

The Universe moves slowly these days and there is no reason that a moderator hasn't taken a quick glance around the forum and noticed these obvious broken rules. It isn't the Reach forum where threads are off the first page in a few minutes they stay there for days, so obviously there have not been many moderators in there recently.

I'm not asking for more moderators or anything like that, I'm just asking for one of them to flip through the Universe once a day.

/rant about annoying things in my favorite forum.

I agree. Although Dibbs asked for more action to be taken in the Uni last year sometime. Nothing much appears to have happened unfortunately. In fact it just got worse.

As I pointed out one thread that even in the title is obviously a troll thread has been collapsed for more than a day yet it still hasn't been locked.

Also another thread that the OP bumps once per day for over 2 weeks is still open?

Just tell me Yoozel, mods don't often travel into the Universe, do they?

I wasn't sure if it was a joke. But I've been hardened by the stupidity in the Universe forum recently and just went with ignorance, no need to apologize.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Planned on making a thread about this issue, thank you Spartan for doing so.

This thread will most likely go unheeded just like the other two you made in the Universe.
