People seriously need to chill. People should use common sense when participating in forum activities, and chillax a bit before getting their panties in a twist :)

This thread makes me a sad panda. Why can't we just give each other a hug?

4. The biggest secret of them all: if someone is trolling correctly, you'll never know they were doing it, because the discussion is otherwise interesting. For example, this thread: is Achilles serious? Is he just messing with you? You don't know - but does it matter? You're still having a conversation.
GENIUS!

This thread, to me, hit me with a serious tone. We aren't used to Achilles posting like this. Sure, maybe he is trolling "correctly". I would love for you to explain that concept to me. As for conversation, it's more agreeing and throwing out viewpoints.

Is it you who is the only one not taking this thread seriously as if Achilles were trolling "correctly"?


If you read beyond his first post you can tell Achilles is joking...

I hate this website overall.

It's community isn't filled with the best people. I blame the webteam. I blame Achronos. Not Stosh, Achronos.

The only reason why I'm still here is because of 2 private groups that keep me going and my online friends that I met here.

Also the fact that I'm addicted to this site in a sense, just like how people are addicted to facebook.

I love and hate the place at the same time. Love it because it's were I met a lot of awesome people, hate it because of the webteam, and the fanboys, trolls, ect.

Why do I hate the webteam you ask? Let's the say they shut down the site for the dumbest reasons. Can't you implement new -blam!- while the site running?

I sure can.

Yeah, I went there.

Oh and Achronos, I thought you were a cool guy, until you bashed every other web browser, such as Chrome.

I lost a ton of respect for you...

IE9 is NOT superior! You have a freaking super computer that can actually run that crappy browser like it's a race car!

-_-

I'm sorry but this thread is still active?

Man, the community seriously needs to chill out a little...
Trolls are fun when they are doing it right...
Then you have Cena...

But back on topic, you guys need to chill. This is a great place to hang out at... When everyone isn't being oversensitive.

I don't mind certain trolls that do it for the lols, but I do mind asshat trolls.

Cena for example.

You guys forgot to link this.



Seriously though, relax. What harm is being done? People post mindless stuff once and awhile, no big. If your whining that you can't do the same, well life ain't fair so suck it up.

Cena should be in prison for posting links to a shock site on a website of a professional company.

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've read.

But his defense is that bungie isn't responsible for any user's links. And this is a public forum...

The first part is to the best of my understanding...

It violates the rules, and it hurts Bungie's image if nothing is done about it.

If you read beyond his first post you can tell Achilles is joking...
Even if Achilles is joking there is still truth in what he says.

Consider this scenario: You are with a friend who is rather large and during a conversation you call your friend fat. When he looks at you with an angry look on his face you add, "Just kidding!"

Now even if you and your friend laugh about it, you were still telling the truth. I apologise if I have just offended anybody but I'm trying to prove a point here and that's the only scenario I could think of.

I think a lot of us have come to realise that there are a lot of children on these forums, being about video games and all. When a Bungie Employee makes a lighthearted post in all of its golden glory it could easily influence children who view the post. While more mature members will see it as a joke, the less mature members will think it is okay to make these posts themselves - and will do so without the control that (I hope) the Bungie Employees have over their posting habits. That is when we end up with spam.

I do enjoy the posts that Bungie Employees make but with members who are not-so-mature they can sometimes do more harm than good. I'm not saying that Bungie Employees should have to be super-serious all of the time, they should just be careful and remember who will be seeing their posts when they make them.
