Subject: New Forum Idea New Idea Forum

When I grow up I want to be bitter and spiteful.

"i liked the reality where everything was on fire better"
-legato on remedial chaos theory

For too long the Bungie.net Community Forum has been plagued with threads concerned with new ideas and improvements! I'm sure many other regulars would agree when I say that these threads cluttering up the front page, distracting us from other, more pressing topics.

While I would have originally asked for the web team to simply forbid such threads in their outlined rules, I anticipate that such a rule would lead to much controversy and misunderstanding by those who think it well to create new ideas. At this most perplexing standpoint I had a wonderful idea! Rather than banning users for making such threads, why not devote an entire forum for this spam?

I call it: The New Idea Forum

It shall be a forum dedicated for the promotion and discussion of new ideas for the site; thus allowing us to not have to deal with them here. Such a concept would guarantee a better browsing experience of the community forum and less troublesome noise to overlook. This would also result in a much-needed drop in activity and a community-backed increase in user blacklists.

I am open to your opinions, but not your ideas.

Fantastic, maybe all the trolls will go there.

This thread is off topic. But it here.

Pfft link works on my end I don't know what you're talking about.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I think the bungie forums should have new names.

I love the title. If the new idea forum forum idea is as good as the title, then I'm all for it.

Not all ideas are forms of spam, there are some good ones which make their way into the community (and other) forums. I don't know, Bungie.net is place for discussion and the expression of ideas- we shouldn't force a forum where the most likely outcome is no one reading it.

The whole point of this is to get the trolls to go to that forum, and this forum is free of them spreading their ideas.

Rare exceptions should not dictate the response for the majority!
I don't know, Bungie.net is place for discussion and the expression of ideas- That's your opinion. Xplode has granted a much more realistic viewpoint!
we shouldn't force a forum where the most likely outcome is no one reading it.It would solve more problems then it would create!

Also, burrito, I've tried like five browsers on eight machines and still cannot get your link to work.

Did you try clicking harder? That should work.

In that case it should be game ideas only, and not bungie.net ones.

Most 'troll' ideas come from games made by Bungie. Hardly ever seen a Bungie.net idea made on the basis of trolling.

Are you saying idea threads should be handled discriminately by subject? Are you also saying we should decide on rules solely by your experience!? How egocentric and inconsiderate of you! The forums would be in shambles! Discussion would go to the dogs!

I think this whole idea is silly, why should we create a whole forum with people who want ideas expressed on Bungie.net, when you can easily ignore those ideas by not clicking on the thread.

Also aren't you basing this idea on your experiences here as well? It is unfathomable how, by your idea, people can't express their ideas how they are now. Besides if you see a troll thread (which is obvious) report and ignore it- instead of just brushing it under the carpet with a new forum.

Who are you to criticise people's expressed ideas and considere it primarily spam?

Well maybe you're silly!

It is unfathomable how, by your idea, people can't express their ideas how they are now.It is fathomable. Clearly there is a thread on the matter, in which you are posting. Although, since you do consider it unfathomable, it would explain why you are in such disagreement with this most generous and note-worthy concept.
Besides if you see a troll thread (which is obvious) report and ignore it- instead of just brushing it under the carpet with a new forum.That doesn't solve the problem!

Who are you to criticise people's expressed ideas and considere it primarily spam?Are you suggesting I should be exempt from critiquing others? Why are you so mean?

Isn't that what this forum is for?

This forum is strictly for site and community-related content and complaint.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

20 years old, manager of my family's business, aspiring officer of the law.

I love anything political.

Dammit!
The traffic in this forum has made me late for work again. Can't somebody move some of x threads somewhere else?

On a serious note. This forum experiences little traffic to the point where I can reply to every topic that is active within a small time interval. There is no need to create a separate forum.

Please tell me you joke.

This site is for discussion as well and, last time I checked, ideas (much like this one) invoke discussion.

I hate when that happens.

There is no need to create a separate forum.Whoa there Speedy Gonzales. Just because you can refute one benefit of this doesn't mean you should forsake the entire project! Think of the gains!

If you can't tolerate others opinions then perhaps this is not the place for you.

It is not that I can't tolerate it, it is just that I see no valid reason to support it. But hey, it is your opinion and you should go with whatever you want. But I don't get why people's ideas are bad for this site- they invoke discussion, especially if placed in the correct forum.

Then what place better for ideas than a New Idea Forum?
