I think that's kind of ridiculous to be gone for so long then get their powers back.

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

Well from what he said in the flood, he is just checking up on the place. It's up to Bungie to give him his modship back if he asked for it. I'm pretty sure he said he doesn't want to bark up that tree again.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

If your inactive you shouldn't be a mod. Dont care who you are.

Depends on the reason.

Military leave should be excused. And anything similar, where you are forced away from Bungie.net.

Nothing personal, but if you arnt able to do the job for whatever reason you shouldn't have the job. I wont ask a cripple to build me a house or a blind man to drive a bus. If a mod lacks time they shouldn't be a mod. Some of the problems we have had in the forums would have been better resolved with a more active staff. Its common sense.

That being said, welcome back to jim.

Switch "job" with "volunteer".

You shouldn't volunteer to do something you aren't able to do.

So what you're saying is that people should just throw away their real lives and stay on this website 8 hours a day 5 days a week because they volunteered?

People take breaks from work, school etc.
Being a mod isn't a gift from God.

No I'm saying if people are working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, have 3 kids and a wife, have school and a social life and don't have time then maybe being a mod isn't for them, so they shouldn't volunteer.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

What the hell is going on? Apparently Jim makes a post and Impu pm's me out of the blue.

Did I miss a memo somewhere?

I think that, and this goes for the current mods too, a minimum requirement should be activity and knowledge of the communty's current state, criterias I don't necessarily think that some of the currently "activated" mods are living up to. This is particulary important now due to recent rules changes, or enforcement thereof.

Better be. I am currently in a contest to see who can make the most wrong screenshots in New Vegas and post them on Steam. I am winning so far.

Oh and Impu wants unbanned. Get on it pl0x. :)

Achronos has stated recently (and I would imagine that Urk concurs) that finding someone who knows the rules and is here is the easy part. Knowing them well enough that they (the Bungie staff, the supervisors of the ninja and our hosts) can entrust them with the abilities to enforce the membership agreement in a way that Bungie can treat the ninjas as "fire and forget" autonomous weapons.... THAT is the hard part.

My guess is that even though the community has grown (incredibly), that growth has made it harder and harder to actually know and trust any particular member to that level.
