I guess you guys don't want to lose 50$.


I said I would take the bet. I'll even up the ante. $100.

It would be like taking candy from a baby. That's why the other members and moderators didn't feel like doing it. But, if people don't realize what they are getting into, it's not my responsibility to hold them back. You get a warning, either direct or indirect, and then you go off on your own.

There's your indirect warning. Everybody gets one.

I'll be on my own side.

Everyone who signs up for an account gets a warning. It's called reading the rules/code of conduct.

But that's a warning about breaking the rules, not a warning about how some people are stupid, no matter how nice you may try to be to them.

If someone really needs a warning about that, they need to get out more often.

Not a lot. I dont think I did that when I signed up.

  • 04.10.2006 6:43 PM PDT

I did. It makes it alot easier to not get blacklisted alot. The one time I did was because of a quote pyramid.

Me!

That's why I've only been blacklisted once...unlike the other people in the Flood who seem to wear how many times theve been banned as a badge of honer and like to gloat about being blacklisted 2...3...or even 4 times in the last three months!

I actually made the mistake of not reading them when I first signed up and I ended up getting banned.
First thing I did was read the rules and the error of my ways was painfully obvious.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

Shishka gave me 6 month a little after I joined. That was fun. [/sarcasm]

I learned you can't be mad at the mods for doing what they're supposed to do. Moderate. You shouldn't be no different then them or any other Bungie fan. They help make sure that's clear.

Just for you, a day on the Bungie.net forums for the average moderator.

Hmm, OK, slow in the Maw and Library, Septagon has some neat topics in here, Oh gawd, another 60 Halo 3 topics in the underground.
Clean up Forum a bit
Get 60 PM's from pissed off people

SAMPLE PM
OMG Why the f*** did you move/delete/lock my post? j00 f***ing jerk! I don't wanna post it in the existing thread! I want to see my name on the front! You're just wanting my credit! I found out the truth and I hate you and I hope your goldfish die!

Find spam threads in Flood and Zanzibar, lock them, get another 20 PMs.
Spammer decides that he didn't like his thread locked, makes 60 threads, making the forums hiccup, and multiple accounts. PM's you after the Soul starts grabbing his accounts and -blam!-es because all his accounts are gone.
Giggle slightly at pathetic spammer for wasting time making accounts when it takes 2 seconds to ban them.

Fend off spam attacks, find another moderator to help, fish out Shishka or Recon to make perma bans. Unable to locate them, you look for Yoozel and hope the liquor store isn't open yet.

Accidentally ban someone who doesn't have a signature because your mouse sucks and the Reply button is next to the Destroy U button. Spend 40 minutes working on getting him unbanned just so the Soul can go in and ban them anyway, making your work useless.

Feel depressed for punishing the undeserving. See another 30 Trollers in Zanzibar and forget depression. Temp ban them and be reviled by PM and second accounts for doing what you're supposed to.

Decide on the off chance to actually make a thread speculating something and have 500 people yell and assume it's true because you're a moderator.

Find a new hate site about yourself, lose self-esteem.

Use the Underground to talk about older games and/or speculate that bungie might be working on something else. Get flamed so bad your underwear is singed.

Get called a "Puppet for Bungie" at least 3 times a week. At least... Seriously, it's not funny, and not original.

Get called a liar when you say you don't know what Bungie is doing for their next project.

Find pr0n link - gross.

Get another 15 mails, this time from people wanting you to join their groups. Decline politely, and get flamed. Or 20 times the previous amount of PMs. Delete back pages of Inbox.

Explaining for the umpteenth time that Religion and Politics aren't allowed.
Have people flame and complain about Freedom of Speech
Explain that Freedom of Speech doesn't work on the internet, on privately owned servers.
Get flamed, and complaints that Bungie is an Orwellian site, and we are Big Brother.
Remind them that they have a Terms of Use and a Code of Conduct to follow.
Get flamed at because "Nobody ever reads those things!"

Find pr0n link - non gross.

Find disguised pr0n link - gross.

Deal with stupid script pop-up site.

Deal with spam post to Mind Distortion.

Deal with 500 retarded YTMND links.

Deal with more hate mail and lucky you, your IM address made it to a spammer!

Block Spammer as he adds your IM address to his other 30 IM accounts.

Cry in silent frustration.

Find another pr0n link - Super Gross.
Go throw up your lunch.

Take a break.

Come back to find desktop littered with IM windows saying something horrible is happening in TheFlood/Zanzibar/New Mombasa

Go Lock offending thread. Get 20 PM's from people in the thread.

Get the odd death threat from scary teenager who likes games too much.


See another moderator is online, IM him and say, I quit for a while, you go do it.
And the process repeats.

So does that mean that having a signature actually helps protect you from accidental blacklistings?

Oh, I know. I was just pointing out that in one thread alone, someone said all those things.

I can't imagine how often you go through that. I mean, that guy said I didn't deserve to live, and I don't even have any powers over him.

It was good for a laugh, though. How immature can one person be? But maybe that's because I don't hear it all the time.

Have you ever seen the movie office space? I'd do what that one guy does.

First I'd show up to work 15 minutes late, I use the back door so the boss doesn't see me, then I go to my desk and space out for about an hour, I get up to get some lunch, then I space out for a few hours, then I do some work and forget to read the memo, then 15 people are up my ass giving me a copy of the memo when I already have one, then I space out for an hour, then I try to use the copier but the peice of -blam!- jammed again, so I then I beat the -blam!- out of it, then I space out for an other hour, then I leave early so I don't have to hear my boss say to me in that slow accent "we're going to need you come in on Saturday, yeah". Then I go home.

That's what I assumed working at Bungie is like.

Well, we mods don't work for Bungie, the only one who could tell you what it's like inside Bungie is Shishka, but somehow I doubt they make the product that they do by showing up to work late.

Life does not imitate office space.

Now we do all this, and do not get paid for it either.
