Subject: The Forum Ninjas are ill-staffed, and I lose Noble

Edit: Because of a pathetic "Shoot first, ask second (if at all)" mentality, I lost my Noble Status on Bungie.net.

I would like to make a thread, and point, bringing up how the Forum Ninjas within this website are ill-staffed, and from the impression I have gotten, use blanket banning as their sole tactic, having a "shoot first, ask after" mentality.

As a member of this website, I like to frequent all Forums, and decided to see what water was flowing in The Flood. I saw a rather interesting thread citing that a proud member of our community decided to join the United States Army, and being a proud patriot myself I decided to give him a bit of advise from my own personal experience. Now, the river spouting from this flood moved to the subject of American Wars, and I responded to a Senior Mythic Member who was saying that the new-found enlistee should not count on America to be out of any armed conflict with "china.jpg".



OP: "By the time I'm in a combat capacity, the war will be over, for us atleast."



Senior: Mythic Member "I would not count on that."


Myself: "China.jpg"



I then proceeded to have an intelligent conversation with the SMM on our Country's future endeavors with China and moved on to a new thread. Alas, I could not contribute any more because I received a 3 day ban for putting "China.jpg".

When I prompted bobcast, the Ninja who executed this banning, for what reason I received a banned, he responded "China.jpg" and later followed up with "China.jpg also happens to be a spam/meme response often used in place of "china wants their wall back" or other similar responses.".

As you can see, no wall was involved. No need for tl;dr, no use of trolling! I know this is not 4chan, I know mods here are active. However, I didn't not expect mods to use a Ctrl+f method to look for infractions punish without looking 3 inches above.

Now, you might be saying "Pffft, big deal. 3 days!". However, this still shows they are not fulling doing their job. They invest too much time in The Flood, when other Forums such as Universe are beginning to be over ran. Nor do they look at each individual case. It is rather sad that I received a completely unnecessary and bogus ban. And I mean, come on- they let Casey Anthony go.

If you have a problem with your ban and the Ninja can't help, take it up with Achronos.

"I don't care if it's God's own anti-Son of a -blam!- Machine or a giant hula-hoop!"

The Ninja's here are not ill-staffed. They are doing their (non-paying) job to the best of their ability. However, there are more trolls and spammers than there are moderators. You cannot completely rid a site from these type of forum goers.

And if you frequent these forums, you would know what "China.jpg" is usually assumed with. Yes, you might not have intended it as spam, but it's your own fault for typing it in.

If you wish to appeal your ban, this is not the place to do so, and complaining about it won't do you any good.

If you want to appeal it, message Bobcast. And check out this article before doing so.

I think someone is a bit mad at their 3 day ban, making more troll threads. This might end in you getting a permant ban.



Obviously, this is not a troll thread, but instead a reasonably thought out one.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Sorry, why exactly do we need more ninjas?

I saw "ill-staffed" and immediately didn't want to read this. I don't really want to know about forum mods' STDs!

Thankfully, I was mistaken about the topic.

Anyway, a 3-day ban isn't much to worry about.

Let it go.

Recon can handle it. ALL of it.

Exactly what I was thinking. What's the correlation between getting banned for a pretty weak reason and needing more mods?

Same reason we needed the last batch? To deal with an excessive member base.

Recon has also fired the trigger before "thinking." Honestly every Ninja bans people for a dumb reason, but they are notorious for doing so. The part of the rules that say you have no rights kind of sums it up.

This.

And, I suppose what I was truly getting at is the "You have no rights" clause. It is incredibly aggravating to see the shoot first ask later mentality. I want a union.

Where was that outlined in the OP?

So you want more moderators, who you believe hand out bogus bans, thus resulting in more bogus bans?

I'm sorry, but when did I say we need more?

You lost your Noble rank for a reason. Deal with it. It is a virtual title, doesn't make you any difference once so ever. I'm actually happy you lost it. You deserved it.

Your problem with the moderator who banned you should be just that: a problem with said moderator. Solve your issues with him and if that that doesn't work, try to solve the issue with a master mod or some of the B.net staff.
