Love you Damon Albarn, Bungie FTW
The Satanic Church is where i belong

Hi, quick question, is it ok to talk about coup in the forums, because i have seen threads in the flood that have had mis-leading names, and then inside just talking about their coups, hiding from the mods, it seems almost, illegal to talk about them, what's going on?

It's chill to discuss Coups. Hell, there's a popular group about coups.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

In the Flood we typically lock threads about Coup and direct people to talk about it in the dedicated private group. The reason is that most users of these forums can't participate in these threads, and many of them don't even know what's going on.

As such, Coup threads are just as inappropriate as if you started a thread where only people from your school or only for your hometown would have any idea what the thread was about or ability to participate in it. So in this way, Coup threads do not "encourage a discussion amongst the community."

That said, Coup is something centered here on Bungie.net, and there is a dedicated thread here in this forum about Coup, so Coup threads in the Flood rarely result in a ban unless the person creating the thread persists in creating them. Usually just a lock and perhaps a note in the thread or a warning.

A thread with a misleading title and then discussing Coup is a different matter, though. Bait-and-switch thread titles typically result in a lock and warning or perhaps a ban if it's a particularly egregious offense or the user has a history of doing it.
