Take a look at this thread for me.
As soon as Jeremiah posts, the whole thread is derailed. Any sense of coherence or 'normality' (or what can be considered as 'normal' on these forums...) is lost, and the thread turns into a game of 'quote the Bungie employee'.
Whilst I am all for Bungie employees adding their 2 cents into discussion threads (in fact, I love the fact that they are so well integrated within our community), it has to be said that every thread becomes a cluster--blam!- of random, nonsense quoting and off-topic conversation.
So...what can be done about this? Would removing the 'Golden Septagon' from the side of the thread cure this problem? I'm pretty sure that much of the problem is down to the fact that people can easily see which threads have employee posts within them, which in turn attracts more quoting of the employees.
I am a member of other gaming community forums, and this never seems to be an issue. In fact, game devs and community managers can post freely, and actually expect conversations with the fans, rather than randomly being quoted for the sake of it.
So Septagon...what do you think? Am I the only one who is actually bothered by this? I am not asking for Bungie to stop posting in threads, but at the same time the off-topic remarks make it hard to concentrate on the theme of a thread.
What do you guys think?
