OK. We've all noticed SOMETHING that reallt pisses us off about the Forums and those who post in them. From GRAMMAR to ADDITUDE to IRRELEVANCE and just plain RETARDED. I actually remember one occasion in which someone posted a thread for being a "ritard."

So here:

1) If you EVER find yourself about to hit the "Submit" button when creating a thread, and look to find that your thread is made up of either A) ONE SENTENCE, B) NO CAPS, or C) MONOTONOUS ABBREVIATIONS (i.e. " holy -blam!- rat-blam!- u r a dum@$$ - the biggerest 1 out der, 2!!"), then stop right there and apply at least some THIRD-GRADE Writing Comprehension to your post so the REST OF US can READ it.

2) If you EVER find yourself about to hit the "Submit" button replying to a post, and it only involves the complete SLAUGHTER of someone's online ego, theory, post, WHATEVER - stop...right...there - hit the BACK button, re-read their post, then write up a second pass at your reply, one that doesn't involve any over-the-top condescending remarks with no REAL purpose but to make your self seem somehow superior. If it has to be negative, make it, at the least, civilized.

EXCEPTIONS: Replies to posts concerning the degradation and/or alluring physical / virtual features of a friggin AI HOLOGRAM; - or - Any post claiming there's a better game than Halo or Halo 2.

3) If you're about to hit the "Submit" button creating a new thread that preaches the possibility, theory, potential story element, glitch, trick, or new feature of Halo (1 or) 2, please be sure to stop what you're doing, hit "Ctrl + N" to open a new window of your Internet Browser, go to HBO's Tips 'n Tricks and read through some of it for a good hour or so. Then come back, see if your idea is as REVOLUTIONARY as you THINK it is.

This ISN'T MY perspective on how you should involve yourself with the Bungie Forums, but merely SUGGESTIONS, so as to make us all happier, and make the Forums a little more hospitable and enjoyable.

Any more i can't think of? I'm still woozy over those 8 new screenies, and the E3 press con Vids.....

I'm not trying to be mean (I mean it), but... Did you use some sort of Spell Check before you posted? Because I didn't see one mispelled word. Very good. Thank you for finally saying these things. Now, we can only hope that the Underground reads it.

No Spell-check. Spell-check's for Squares.

Thanks, SS. I hope this gets read. I don't consider it Sticky-worthy, but i tried.

Wow, I told myself I'm done responding on these post, but this I have to say something! You did not see one spelling error? If you look closer, the first line has an error, no offence to you Spartan, but to the guy that said there was no errors. Hopefully the people who need to know this stuff reads it so I don't get annoyed any more.

( I'm sure I have one mistake in there, so don't scream at me)

ACK!!! you..GOT...mee....

Well, that's less a spelling error and more a SPEED error. "Y" is right next to "T", to...XP


Word to the Wise as well: Keep posts and threads to their respective forums - i.e., Halo PC junk and Se7enth Column stuff.

Not to pry, but... "ADDITUDE?" I thought it was attitude.;)
I'm messing with ya. Yea, maturity in game forums is very rare. Let's all try to keep some composer and think before we submit. The Teamxbox General Xbox Discussion(the forum I most frequent) is littered with immature, 12 y/o, illiterate, whining little -blam!-es. It gets very tiresome.
