Subject: The Fate of the Flood Forum?

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

This has been asked many times before, but now it seems more likely than ever: is the Flood forum going to be deleted? I mean, more and more spammers/trolls are posting every day, much more than there used to be. I just get the impression that the moderators are probably sick of it considering how much moderation is needed to keep trolls and the like in line.

I'm not saying I want it trolled, just more rapid moderation on offensive threads/posts, but still...

I believe that the moderation on the Flood is already rapid for its standards, more than most users are thinking.

I don't think that the moderators are sick of their role.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Since they're apparently pushing out a major update to the forums systems at some point in the near(ish) future, it doesn't seem likely that they would do a major update before that just to remove one forum.

No one knows what's going to happen after that update, though. From what I remember, Achronos said the plans haven't been set in stone yet.

Join ODST Expeditionary Force for a more mature, friendly community!

And let them all reek havoc (more than usual) in the other forums? No thank you.

I believe most of them are smart enough to move elsewhere on the occasion that the Flood forum is shut down. The only ones that will do that are probably the stolid ones.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Deleting the Flood would wipe out half of B.net's community and activity, not to mention the thousands of enraged nerds who would assault the other forums, I wouldn't be surprised if hacking ensued.

We'd spread to the other forums, infecting all in our way.

Even if it does get deleted, I'm not too bothered.

I'm starting to use group forums more and more. Some of them have a better community.

I don't really think there is a problem with the Flood. We just need more Qbix in there.

It's an off-topic forum with an overly excitable, relatively undeveloped population. The Flood has never got worse, people simply grow out of it.
Moderator presence is fine, most of the trouble people talk about is an enormous over reaction, if you have a grain of common sense you can tell a troll or spam thread apart, and not click a shock link.

The flood will survive anything. We need to deprive it of it's food source.

...they'll still survive somehow.

Dunno. It might get deleted, but not until the next site update, at least.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

If it was deleted, the trolls would move to another forum. At least they're fairly contained. Anyway, despite the trolls, its one of the better forums on here.

The Community and Flood are the best forums here, with the Reach Forum being last.

What's wrong with spammers and trolls? I find it entertaining.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

The way I see it, if any set of forums wants to be successful it needs an off-topic forum. It funnels a lot of the undesirable to a single location. It's more of a way to keep the rest of the site clean while being able to keep the undesirable content in a limited capacity and easily manageable.

Whatever Achronos has in mind for the site may very well effect The Flood, is it will the rest of us. With that said, though, I don't think The Flood is going to go away and will always be such in spirit. However, it may not be "The Flood" as we call it now.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

I don't see why people automatically associate troll with people who are active in the Flood. That is where I spend most of my time while I'm on B.net, but I do jump between the universe forum and the community forum. I don't believe that I'm a troll. I hope they don't delete the Flood, it would make me very sad.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Where would off topic discussions be held? No off topic discussion? Psshh that's not happening. You can't stop spammers and trolls. If the Flood was removed, it would only be a severe negative to all the forums.

  • 09.17.2011 8:37 AM PDT

The Flood is going to stay the same for a while.
