This is simply one of these things that will never happen here, it's just time to accept it. See Godwin's Law.

Positive vibes.

One thing I would like to point out. This is the Bungie Community Forum, not the Bungie Community Chat Room.

I <3 you too Bungie

Allowing political topics during a US election year (Nov-Nov) doesn't seem very smart.

  • 09.18.2011 8:24 PM PDT

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?

I wish, but no..

Yeah...

Sorry, this and religious discussion will never, ever change. There are two things to never bring up when having a conversation: politics and religion. Everyone has an opinion and unfortunately too many people get upset when your opinion is different than there's.

I am a Floodian

The Flood hasn't matured or changed in a way that would show it is deserving of that privilege. I'm pretty sure that The Flood doesn't even believe that it is capable of changing.

The Flood matured? Where was I when this happened?

This is pretty much why every argument starts in the Flood.

Yeah I jest.

I just wanted to create a thread about what is happening tomorrow but there is no where to discuss it :( WHY?

What do you say?

I do not Flood. I stay here or private groups.

I say your initial comment is invalid.
Why?
In recent weeks there have been more complaint threads about Flood spam/trolling in this forum than there have been about member titles. That's a pretty significant amount.

If you want to talk (rage war) about politics, start a private group about it. Trust me, the rage war note is much more real than you can imagine.

Euripides, Bacchae. 480.

Unfortunately, this will probably never be the case. This community has an unhealthy preoccupation with inertia, such that changes, when they do occur, are mostly trivial.

The only argument that ever seems to be fielded against permitting religious and political discussion is that people will become so impassioned that they'll start insulting one another. Those that field this argument have perhaps forgotten that this is already the case in virtually every thread posted to these fora.

Still, what more can you expect from a community which regards the introduction of a post count as controversial?

Not a chance, the flood has pretty much always been full of trolls just waiting for something like this to happen. The flood just can't handle controversial topics. If you want to talk about politics and religion, do it in a private group. There are a couple that specialize in this kind of thing.

I haven't seen many troll threads and when I do they're locked with in minutes
You haven't been on lately have you?

I feel like the flood is finally old enough to be able to discuss Politics.
Not a chance in hell.

What do you say?
Still no.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

No. There are a lot of people in the world. People have different beliefs and depending on the person chatting with another, it can go from mild discussion to an all out flame war of "My idea of [politics or religion] is better than yours. This discussion is over."

For those looking to vent, get proper advice, or give it to those in need.

I've been advocating for this. Political discussion is so loosely defined since the world of politics seeps into everyday news.

Obviously the flame bait dumb threads should be locked and the OP banned. However if there's an articulated well thought out thread then there should not be a problem. Users looking to derail the discussion should be banned. There's too little of moderators moderating discussions in the Flood.
