Subject: The Bungie.net community is forming a Government

This government will not be built in a day, however.

There are some things in the site that everyone dislikes. Such as John Cena. But you know what most people dislike more? People quoting him and getting angry at him. This gives him attention and fuels him for some more links. We need to make some rules to oppose that. Our own rules. You know how we would do that? We would use the Report button. You'll see why later on in the post.

The government will be a democracy. Officials will be elected by the community, unless the official is plagued by terrible reputation. I don't care who votes, Cena, Ponies, ect, but I trust the people to make the right choice.

Once we've established some officials, we'll need to agree on some laws. Since we can't mess with the forum rules, we'll use the report button to make our own rules. Note, the following have not been discussed or agreed on, and they may never make it to the drawing board, but they are merely examples: If someone uneducated by the thread of rules we will have posts a quote from Cena and writes: "I HAET U NOW I HAVE DICKS ON MY COMPUTAR", the people would report him. His post would be hidden, and soon people would learn.

Any thread about the Bungie.net Government, whether it be a question or an article, should have a "BGOV:" tag.

Parts of the site are heading in bad shape, and we need to clear up some things. First we need officials. You may NOT propose yourself. You must be proposed by someone else. If you propose someone, be sure to PM them this thread and tell them that you've proposed them. They may kindly say no if they wish.

Once enough people will be proposed, we will have elections. Mainly like this: User9001: Yes, No.
As a vote.

The people will have great power, and when combined, can easily hide posts with the click of a button. The people will also be involved in a lot of voting.

First we need officials. If you want to propose an official, please do so. Remember, this job comes with great responsibility, and you will be shaping The site. I'll make a list:
1. Achilles
2. Shotgun Chief
3. Monochron
4. NorbergK6
5. POKEY CLYDE
6. Jumbus
ect.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I nominate myself.

Wow.

Now I know why your thread was locked and you were banned.

Stop. I know this seems like a decent idea to some people, but you keep spamming it onto the forums, and it will most positively result in another lock and another ban.

  • 09.29.2011 4:50 PM PDT

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

I tweet?

I'm just going to watch this burn faster than a candle with a wick at both ends.

Yes. But, they're government is too preoccupied to do tasks such as the ones we will perform. A Brony thread rarely gets locked, and people who give Cena attention are not banned. There are many more examples, such as people just being blatantly stupid or having the worst grammar possible, but everything previously stated will have to be discussed with with the people.

You clearly do not have any idea what has happened in the past. I originally posted it in the flood. It was going to be a floodian government. Mods told me I had to post it in community. I shamefully made an alt and did so. That got banned because of an alt. They never told me that this thread in the community forum was against the rules. My other ban time has run out, so this isn't grounds for locking.

Achilles, I've seen you post, and you seem like a good person. You seem mature enough to vote for the common good. I nominate you.

You guys who nominated yourself must not have read the entire thread and therefore would not make very good officials: Posted by: Scatcycle01

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Sure for official but this thread is copypasta.

Your idea is walking a fine line. If you only group report rule breaking threads and posts like shock sites then you can do some good for the site. If you go all the way with your idea and form an insurgent government that creates and enforces its own rules then you get into some very dangerous territory.

If you are creating your own rules then you are having people mass report not only threads that violate the rules, but threads that you disagree with. Instead of reporting shock sites you run the risk of people reporting threads simply because they disagree with them.

The short version: This "government" is more likely to stifle creativity than help B.net.

It won't be threads that we disagree with, but rather the threads that you, the people, disagree.

It won't be threads that we disagree with, but rather the threads that you, the people, disagree.

But that's exactly the problem. The government won't be enforcing what's best for the community it will be enforcing populism. This type of problem has already appeared in an unorganized form in the Reach forum where people will report threads that they disagree with, not because they are against the rules, but simply because they don't like their content.

Reporting any thread that people don't like is a terrible way to have a community function. This government would end up reporting anything or anyone that they don't like.

Someone has posted a bunch of threads which clearly are in need of being reported. They serve no use, and clearly disobey the rules.

Now if someone posted: Bloom rocks because it has skill!
It won't be voted upon. We are not focused on opinions.
