By the way, there's some more Halo 3 topics in The Underground, it's like a whole page of threads that are the same. OMG there's so many.

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.
They should pay you guys with Cheese Nips..or something. Maybe a Hot Pocket or two.

We (at least a couple of us) got some cool crap in the mail, stickers, books, movies etc, when Sketch cleaned out his office for the move, but I've already used my stickers and I want more.

For Carnage, Apply Within.

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

I would imagine working for Bungie like this...

Go to work when you feel like it. At the entrance you see a bum or possibly Bent Llama on the floor. As you enter Alma the Bungie Princess hugs you and talks dirty in your ear. You go to your cubicle and help test out the next project. Everyone has an Xbox 360 in there cubicle and are connected by Lan. You grow tired of being owned by Shishka and his cheating skills so you decide to go play some golf. On your way to the underground miniature golf course you see Frankie half naked passed out with Fergie and a bottle of Zima. You get there and relax on a couch where Selma Hayek feeds you grapes and gives you a massage. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers girls play golf in their uniforms. The man by the name of Jones later calls you in for a little help with something. You check it out and he wants you to deal with cheaters and modders online playing Halo 2. It sucks but you have to do it. 3 hours later tired and aggravated you decide to visit the nearest Starbucks. It's a short walk but you take your mini car anyway. As you enter you see Frankie passed out half naked with a Mocha Frappcino in his hand. You whip out a marker and draw a funny moustache on his face. You order and take out your free Bungie card that gives you 99% off everything. This card works in every other store too. Back at work you're an a calm mood and doze off. You wake up a few hours later half naked next to a gorilla with a cowboy hat. You don't ask or tell anyone about this. It's time to go home. On the way traffic sucks and your crappy car is making screeching noises. It almost breaks down. You get home and eat some crappy food your wife made and are annoyed by your crappy kids. Your wife asks what you did all day and you tell her you had the best dream at work today.

Id have to say I would take the chance if I had it to be a mod. Sure you dont get paid because its volunteering to help bungie so they have time to work on their projects and not have to watch their forums. Id do anything to help bungie out in anyway so that they can get their amazing games out sooner and have more time to tweek with them. ( im expecting to get flamed for this post)

I wouldn't really expect a lot of flamming.

last week i made a thread called "Ready to Move on" were i pretty much bashed bungie. Although bungie does frustrate me with their obstinace to give info about their next project I realize, no, bungie's the best, HAlo is frickin awsome, Im not mad at them, Im mad at the moderators.

Why? Well i find them arrogant IN WAYS. Dont get me wrong, I saw Shiska in the HAlo 2 limited edition DVD and he seemed like a cool guy, and he was very outgoing in the weekly update he did a few weeks ago. Its almost like... A teacher you like when their not your teacher. I think the moderators are, inadvertantly, stuck up. Now that bungie is a big enterpirse, a person couldnt help but feel "impowered" to not only be aprt of of it, but to look at us and say "Haha I know what the next project is bioch" and think our comments are "annoying".

Really moderatrors you have to understand how bungie makes us act weird, soemtimes hostile. I know plenty of good peopel who have benn blacklisted for a mistake that they would have never made again. Moderators, its called second chance, so just chillax

Try dedicating a huge amount of your own free time surfing this website helping people. I doubt you would do that for very long. Moderators don't just have to help people, they have to make the forums look nice too. I think people like you blow these kind of situations out of proportion. The moderators aren't going to take their sweet little time being nice, they'll quickly read something and if it breaks the rules in any way, then the person who posted is going to be in trouble.

Another thing that someone like you would complain about is when moderators joke around with some users. You call this flamming. The moderators weren't randomly selected, they don't flame, unless for a good reason. They are moderators, and you aren't, meaning they don't know if you're just joking around. And when they do flame, it will be more of a joke to them then a idiotic comment.

The point of this post: Give the moderators some slack, and learn how to act on these forums before you post.

No YOU'RE an idiotic comment.

Anyway, Josher is right. There's a fine line between us seeing that you're joking and us seeing that you're breaking the rules. If you cross that line, then it's your fault.

You don't get paid for it!?!

Not so eager to do it now are you?

If forum ninjas were paid, I would be a forum ninja.

  • 04.12.2006 3:25 AM PDT

If that was spread as a rumour, then most people would probably fine-tone their act here in a vain attempt to be made a mod.

I like to Rollick

Only reason that I would want to be a moderator, is that if the forums were getting out of hand, but that is never going to happen and Bungie already has a fine moderating team.

Besides you have to watch what you say since everyone is going to be checking for your posts.

I don't think Bungie could afford to pay me what I'd charge for moderating. I guess that's why it's done on a volunteer basis.

-- Steve'll point out to interested spectators that he does not know of a single moderator who asked to be one. Draw from that what you will.
