That forum needs better moderation, in my opinion.


I agree with this, Yoozel is one there atm but there is only so much one ninja can do at a time, it's not like he's going to be able to see every rule breaking thread.

In wine there's truth but in silence there's surrender.

I enjoy posting once and a while on the Flood, this would be a terrible idea.

I have nothing against the existing Ninjas. Obviously, they can't be everywhere at once. But there is strength in numbers, and I think a few more would come in handy.

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

You forget my friend that, while they may be irritating little henchmen, they are nonetheless our own little army.
Lets just say that when push comes to shove, it's better to have a million trolls on your side than no like minded brothers in arms.

Ask Sauron about just how helpful an army of trolls can be. He almost stole Middle Earth with 'em once.

Honestly though, I wasn't trolling. But the amount of trolling we could inflict on the world with the Flood...

*whistles*

It would be like Trollmageddon!

Hasn't "the Flood is terrible" been more or less a perennial complaint around here?

I find it interesting how B.net strives so hard to prove that they're "not 4chan", or what have you. It may be true that B.net isn't quite the cesspool of idiocy that /b/ is (at least according to testimonial around here), but the pursuit of running an internet oasis free from any depravity-- and on a video game forum, no less-- seems rather asinine to me. Seems such aberrations from "preferred conduct" would be inevitable.

I think the community tends to take itself a bit too seriously at times-- as though it were somehow "above" general internet memedom, stupidity and so forth. And most of the Flood's "filth", so to speak, is merely just that-- stupidity. Just ignore it. I really fail to see how it's anything worth shutting the forum down over.

From what I've seen, they've been doing better lately (or should I say, Yoozel has been doing better lately...) about moderating The Flood. But even so, that wasn't until after a long period of time with little, or at the very least, unnoticeable moderation.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

A website that has forums without an off-topic forum is looking for trouble.

I doubt that would do anything. Just ignore the flood, spend time in the Community were all the mature users are.

Could "The Flood" be removed from the name of the Off Topic forum? Something about hearing "The Flood" just gets to me.

Aside from the calls 'not to go there' etc, I do believe that an increased moderator presence, at least for a month or so, would work wonders.

Well, here we are, i'm not sure about any of you, but i'm sick of the flood forum, it's full of trolls, my xbox account has been messing up and i can't sign into live (i wont bother you with details) and because it fits into no other forum, i thought i would post in the off-topic forum, the flood.

I knew this was bad from the start, due to the recent attack of forums and groups, i think the flood forum should stay, but tbh, i would love it if honorable+ could use it, because, honorable is active for a year without bans, and i don't think that a person like that would be a troll, let's face it, you've seen all of the members and new accounts of people who get banned regulary.
Anyway my question wasn't seriously answered...

some good people use the forum, but i just hate it, why don't we just clear it out and get rid of it for, idk, a month? to see if the trolls die down and go away.
idk what to do, my ideas are bad, but it's the best i've got.
I'm just kind of annoyed.


I would agree with you except for the honourary+ idea as there are people like me who haven't had an account for a year and don't troll (unless trolled) so that would be kinda unfair. They should make a troll topic. just for trollers.

I find it interesting how B.net strives so hard to prove that they're "not 4chan", or what have you. It may be true that B.net isn't quite the cesspool of idiocy that /b/ is (at least according to testimonial around here), but the pursuit of running an internet oasis free from any depravity-- and on a video game forum, no less-- seems rather asinine to me. Seems such aberrations from "preferred conduct" would be inevitable.

I think the community tends to take itself a bit too seriously at times-- as though it were somehow "above" general internet memedom, stupidity and so forth. And most of the Flood's "filth", so to speak, is merely just that-- stupidity. Just ignore it. I really fail to see how it's anything worth shutting the forum down over.
What a nice post.

Haha first thread I saw when I went to the Reach forum just now:
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=63722559

I want to see The Flood closed just to see the reaction of the members like the one who created the thread linked above. This is also another reason why I want the off topic forum to simply be called "Off Topic." I don't like these "Floodians" going around calling themselves "The Flood" all of the time.

You have expectations for an off-topic discussion forum hosted on an internet gaming website?

Wow.
