my gt is Godzillla....i just didnt link it properly

The reach forum is the cesspool of this site as you all probably know and the mods rarely lock troll threads there

but when a thread is not posted in the right forum the mods just lock it instead of moving to the correct forum like on every other forum on the internet

and the level of scrutiny they use to lock threads is hardly consistent

case and point :
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=63818669
a rare mature discussion ...locked ....WHY?

but troll threads on the reach stay open and other "off-topic" threads stay open

it just ridiculous that i get a warning and removal of my member title for stuff like this when i try to positively contribute to the community but at the same time trolls run rampant everywhere else

**Devil's advocate of the Flood. My posts may or may not represent my personal opinion, I just enjoy disagreeing with people. None of my posts are representative of the official view of the Navy or any government agency.

Maybe because Halo 4 isn't part of the Bungie universe, and doesn't belong there?

and even if that was the case , they would have to lock half the threads in the BU forum ...just admit its BS...because it is

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I don't understand becuase it is part of the Halo universe which Bungie made.

Moving threads creates clutter and other issues. On a forum of this scale, moving threads isn't as viable an option as it is for other forums.

Reach is the end of the Bungie Universe of Halo. You can discuss comics and short movies. That picture in the thread you posted is from Halo 4, and Halo 4 is not a Bungie game. It's being made by 343 Industries.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

Threads aren't moved because it messes with the database, or so I've heard and gathered from threads like this

As for your topic that was locked, the BU Forum is for Universe discussion/canon, not game specifics like armor, weapons, or maps. If you want to stay on Bungie.Net and talk about this stuff, The Flood is probably your best bet. Otherwise, head over to 343i's forums and talk about all Halo 4. At least, this has been the general consensus among members, mod club, and web team.

Edit: Club > Team

The website you provided is just a forum. For Bungie, the forums are just a (small) part of the website. It's not worth the load to constantly be moving threads, especially when they break all of the time. How hard is it to remake your thread if it gets locked for being in the wrong forum?

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

It hard to have sympathy when the examples you cite pertain solely to you. Give evidence that this is a trend; otherwise you just look to be complaining about how you feel as though your thread shouldn't be locked simply because you created it.

go to the reach forum
its over run with trolls

go to the BU forum ..Halo 4 is a huge topic there

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

I'm sorry OP, but I don't have much sympathy for you.

"a rare mature discussion"
Most of that post was a senseless argument between users, or spam.
"but troll threads on the reach stay open and other "off-topic" threads stay open"
On the Reach forum sometimes it is best just to let the off topic and troll threads get drowned out by the new wave of threads.
"i try to positively contribute to the community"
I looked through your recent posts, most of it was spam, or grammatically incorrect ramblings.
If you really want to contribute, use proper grammar, help others, and make sure you post correct information in the right thread.

(Also, you might want to edit your signature, we can't see your moderation history.)

Oh and next time you are unhappy with a forum moderator decision, take it up with them in a private message.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Refer to Rokit's post above, I believe it's the best explanation here.

This is not evidence for this - but when a thread is not posted in the right forum the mods just lock it instead of moving to the correct forum like on every other forum on the internet assertion.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Rokit's post above provides a complete reason for your thread being locked.

This is also the reason I have given you in your private message complaints -- twice. Making a thread about it here is not going to get your thread unlocked, and I've already told you what you can do to fix the problem.

As this is a thread about a specific moderator decision, and you've already received a complete answer to your question, this thread is locked.
