When you lock a thread about a Halo 3 idea, why do you always say you have to put it in the Halo 3 ideas thread? Would if it is a good idea and needs emphasis? Here's advice to see if the idea is good: wait a little bit to see how the members react, and then lock it if nobody thinks its a good idea.

The Underground isn't exclusively for H3 or Next Project topics. If the moderators didn't do anything to stem the flow of pointless additional topics (even if the content is good), there'd be nothing there for those who are interested in general Bungie or oldskool topics.

The working theory is -- all of your Halo 3 ideas are easier to find if they're in the same thread.

Making lots of extra topics doesn't "help" that idea out any, and it's really presumptuous to assert that your idea is better than anyone elses.

1) There are no "Moderators in the Underground." They are all the same for every forum.

2) If people like the idea in one thread, they will like it in another. Ideas don't need their own thread, regardless of how much people like them. If one idea is allowed to have its own thread, then all of them should, since it's only fair. Considering that would be thousands of threads about the same thing...It's much easier to just make one thread for it all.

Curse him and his dastardly willingness to carry out forum rules.

Yeah, I got threads locked twice by that guy. The first one he simply put "Another one" and I thought he was just being an ***, but didn't stop there. The second time he locked my forum was when I acted out of anger thinking that there is a corruption in the forum. He just never explained to me what I did wrong. Also, when he wrote "Another one" in my forum called "there's alot of locked threads..." I thought he did that for fun.

Oops, I repeated didn't I? Heh, my bad... ^_^ '

How can NOT be? Isn't related to Bungie also? Bungie is making the game and it SHOULD be in Underground!

To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

"heh"

Put 'em in the same thread. Don't bog down the other threads.

I still remember you, Marathon Tagset.

You see the problem is that Halo 3 hasn't even been announced despite all the speculation. And since the Underground has had to take the bulk of speculation it is best to keep ideas and like minded ideas contained in the same thread to promote more focused discussion and to allow other topics besides that of Halo 3 to be discussed in the Underground. There is no need for hundreds of random or poorly written up threads to embody all of the Underground, the best ideas do need to be discussed and it's best if we curve people towards that.

*pouts

But I wanna see my name on the front page!!! I wish they would have something like this for the flood. Everytime something happens there are 5 threads about it. I guess no single topic has lasted as long in the flood as Halo 3 has in the Underground.

Why don't we just make a thread for "Bungie's Next Project Speculations" and call it good.

And, then the Underground has lost its touch. When Halo 2 was releasled, fans wanted to know more after the cliffhanger. Soon the fans got the idea of Halo 3. That was when it began.

There's no idea so important for a project that hasn't been confirmed to exist that it needs to be outlined above all the others.

And to address the rest of the thread, we'd do the same thing if there was a similar glut of Pimps at Sea speculation (even though that one has been announced) in the Underground. The idea is to keep like material in the same thread to avoid crowding out every other possible topic with spill-over and (even worse) repetitive posts that just add to the noise.

-- Steve's wishing that folks would spend more time reading the forums and less posting in 'em, which would solve most of the problems without moderator intervention, but since that's against human nature it's one of those "if there was a genie in the lamp" wishes.

What if the next project isn't about Halo or is about the Forerunners or events such as the Fall of Reach or Harvest? Halo 3 speculation may be interesting but until there is an official announcement, one thread should be fine.
