Subject: Video Game hate on The Flood, it needs to stop

It's not cool, your not funny, you aren't hip, you aren't creative in any way for bashing the game when people are trying to discuss it.

A lot people seem to think that bashing a title when others a trying to discuss it (CoD being targeted the most), thinks it cool, and/or funny. I talked about it before on here but it seems the Mods turn a blind eye cause it's their opinion. If they have nothing worthwhile to post other then worthless spam then why bother post in it at all.

It isn't just with CoD either, I'm getting sick of the BF hate, the Halo hate, and just about every popular game discussed on The Flood. I'm afraid to make a thread about games I like cause I know they'll just attack it. Also, don't give me that crap of them saying their expressing their opinion, they know it's obvious trolling, they having nothing that's helping the discussion of that thread and they think that just because I'm the minority player of said title, they can call me the troll.

Why in gods name don't the Mods ever go into those threads? Cause it's a serious problem and anyone who tries to have discussion gets teed off. Half of the posts in the thread I have given isn't helping discussion. You could tell me to just contact somebody but I never get a response and I know they never bother looking cause they would have obviously made it apparent that they did.

I shouldn't have to see it in the first place. I realize that The Flood is far less then mature but this is pathetic.

If it's their opinion that CoD is bad, then they are allowed to express their opinion. When it crosses the border into trolling, then report them, and a moderator will look at the post if it is collapsed.

If the post is not collapsed, then that means that it was deemed acceptable by your peers.

No, I do not want to join your clan/group.

Unfortunately, you're probably going to have to go to another site to be able to discuss other video games maturely; The Flood is never going to change and it would be a full-time job for the ninjas to try and keep an eye on everything there.

There may be some private groups that suit your needs, though. Try looking for them and if none exist, maybe try to make your own.

Their peers. People who play the game represent a minority in the thread. You know no ones gonna report the guy even though it's obvious flame bait, cause almost everyone in the thread agrees with him with the exception of that small amount of people who are trying to discuss it. And even then, they're not gonna report it cause they lost hope in the report button. I do report but I also know that it doesn't do anything cause the thread greifers have their thumb over the thread leaving the damage done.

Peers as in users on bungie.net, not people with similar interests.

You should check out or create a private group for it if you want to discuss it, that way you could keep the users who try to troll out with bans.

It would kind of contribute a little more to discussion if they were explain (at least in several words) their reasoning behind their opinion. They're pretty much derailing the thread either way, in that case it's turned from 'MW3 Hardened Edition' to 'why I think MW3 sucks'.

But they speak the truth in that thread.

Also, you can't stop people having an opinion.

People will contribute to any and all threads that they see, whether they share the same opinion, a different one, whether they will discuss things in depth or just leave a small comment and move on. If you wish to discuss something without anyone sharing a negative opinion then I can't even recommend discussing the game at the developers website instead off Bungie.nets offtopic forum. You'll have to join or create a group or a forum with a strict whitelist.

Maybe they disagree to the same degree with you about your opinion on the game.
You need to respect their opinion. If it doesn't break any rules, it's 100% fine. Get over it.

Your posting wasn't so admirable itself.

You get tired of seeing that garbage over and over again, and I truly did expect better behavior.

It's their opinion that CoD isn't a good game (I strongly agree), were allowed to express our opinion on things here.

You said they were discussing CoD? Well he based his opinion and said he doesn't like it, I don't see the problem.

  • 10.03.2011 4:04 PM PDT

We weren't discussing the opinion of the game. The thread was to discuss the Hardened Edition of the game and how it helped you save money in the long run. If it was a thread called "Share your opinions on CoD" I wouldn't care what they said. You can have your opinion but don't go pushing it where it doesn't belong.

I was a finalist :P

If I have learnt anything from my time here it is two things:

1. Haters gonna hate
2. Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong

Ignore the bad posts, no matter the quantity of them in a thread. Truth is, there will always be some to discuss your topic in question in a logical matter, and your attention should be focused on them, and not the people going against your view.
