Subject: Paranoia about Employee/Ninja quoting!

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I know what you are saying. I mostly try to avoid it, because I myself ignore most quotes of moderators and employees.

Most of them tend to be horrible jokes that aren't remotely funny. Others are simply:

Witty retort or comment who's context stems back to old-forum jokes or events.

Haha, you sure got him good and I want your praise. Please accept me!


That annoys me. Thus I avoid it myself.

Also, I've seen many threads where Achronos makes a legitimate comment, then there is a two page flood/plague of users, usually basic, who quote him, simply to say "You tell him Achronos."

I imagine it like the trains in India, with all of the people hanging off the sides. Except, instead of a train, it's Achronos' coat tails.

Do not panic, or you will fail.

Has anyone else got this problem?

There is such a stigma about quoting employees and ninjas because its seen as 'arse kissing' or 'brown nosing', that i go out of my way not to quote them.
I mean i would quote them if they where normal, because more often or not they're funny replys, but, im too scared i'll be shot down...

I think a lot of people (mostly newer members) quote the mods in hope of getting requoted by them. You know, to try to validate themselves or something.

Man, this whole Ninja/Employee thing is really starting to flame up in the community. It's getting a little old.

  • 08.18.2011 7:53 AM PDT

Quoting them helps my self esteem! I don't feel like a real man until I've had my daily Ninja Quote.

I quote people who I intend to converse with. So that their post/comment that inspired my response is there, that they know that I am responding/speaking to them, and to what (they said) that I am responding.

Who made the post that I quote is less important to me than what they said, or the fact that I felt the desire to respond.

If someone quotes someone because of who they are (instead of what they posted) then that is a/the problem.

Like clockwork. And have you noticed that threads with the septagon symbol tagged to the thread never truly die?


Are they just missing in action?

OT: I don't often quote employees or ninjas and if I do it's strictly to address their response.

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

Positive vibes.

Honestly, who cares what other people think? If you want to quote an employee, quote an employee.

:-)

Has this thread turned into some sort of advert for Inception? I don't really quote Ninjas or the Webteam but then, I'm not that frequent on the public forums.

  • 08.18.2011 9:20 AM PDT

I've noticed threads get derailed as soon as an employee posts because everyone starts quoting him.

  • 08.18.2011 9:22 AM PDT

Hello! You may also know me as Ijnekono. How you have made your way here I do not know, but welcome. (:

It was inevitable.*





*example of what I consider to be proper quoting. I quoted the individual so that I could respond. They know that I am speaking to them and am replying to what they said, not who they are.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

I quote which post I an directly replying to that isn't the OP. Simple.
