Subject: Should flaming be more strictly enforced?

I do believe flaming is enforced enough. What people need to understand is the difference between criticism and flaming. Furthermore, people need to be more tolerant of criticism and to not take things personally.

I play for fun and armory completion. :)

I see people getting away with 1 word posts all the time. I see people getting away with trolling all the time. I see people getting away with "x" all the time. Hold on, I'll go make a thread about it.

That is not the right attitude, the staff on the site are aware of the rules and how to enforce them. Has it crossed your mind that the thread was simply not read by a member of the moderation team, therefore nothing was done. Jesus, they can't be everywhere at once, they spend most of their time responding to your hundreds of "improvements" you want to make to the site.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I completely agree with Cycle.
OT: flaming is enforced pretty well on the site, except for Brony threads, which all end in flame wars.

Should Flaming result in Stricker punishments becuase I see people get away with it all the time.


As much as I admire your intent, this is the internet, not a police station.

Sure, moderators might miss some things here and there, or perhaps everywhere. What we need isn't more of them and their inherent cunning stride, but rather less so there is less drama on the forums, which breads the like of trolls.

Historically, more rules mean more rule breakers, or at least more unsatisfied people. This is Bungie.net, a fun, interactive game developer's website. It is a modest truth that people will be more satisfied with abundant liberty than oppression.

In the month that I've been back I've seen your name brought up several times spartan ken. Is this why you are making this thread?

P.S. What did you do to the site that everyone uses you as a meme o.0

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I think we should allow all types of flaming. In fact, let the Ninjas have a break for a month, I'm sure we can handle a month without authority.

Hehehe, I remember you! But, I don't get why you were looking at a 360 page thread and just so happen to see me. My luck couldn't have been worse at that moment.

OT, MOAR STRICTERY-er!!

Well I don't have a problem with you at all just the amount of things you always seem to find to complain about is astoundingly high.
And this is coming from the guy responsible for the deletion of the greatest thread on bungie.net.

It seemed like it was only yesterday.....

This I have a felling the things you consider flaming, ken, are things that most people would just thing of as discussion and criticism.

Sometimes you've just gotta let it slide, this is the internet after all.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

It's entirely dependent on the context.

So no.

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

Oh for the love of God...

Jesus.


First off, lol at this. xD

Anyways, on to topic. Yes, flaming is bad, but you have to understand that Bungie is not like all forums. This is my assumption, but Bungie is probably made up mostly of angsty teenagers in high school. Many people around that age pretty much act the same way most users act on this forum.

But that is my opinion and assumption.

Idk why, but this seems pretty silly to ask.

I mean, if someone who is obviously trolling is called an idiot once, should said caller be banned for two weeks? no....

Should someone who goes on a raging rant saying horribly unmentionable things get one? at least.

And the mods do good as is, don't mess with the status quo.

Yes, flaming should be more strictly enforced. Posters who go 10 posts without flaming should be given a 3 day, minimum.

  • 10.25.2011 11:34 PM PDT

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

You know, sometimes I think you're the greatest troll on this site... You spell "strictly" correct, but then spell "Stricker punishments"? Am I missing something?

Anyway, if you're not... You need to realize one thing, if you are easily offended by things on the Internet, that hold no weight in reality, you should probably work on getting some thicker skin. Yes, harassing persistently can be a valid issue, but "flaming" is so broad in its definition. Like, if I were to call you an idiot, which of course I would never have any reason to... Would that be flaming? Or me just stating an opinion? I guess it could be perceived as both.

The point I'm trying to make here is, people don't need to babied around here, unless there's a valid complaint or issue.

It's fine how it is.. In fact I could almost think that it's currently too strictly enforced.

x sometimes the -blam!- that comes from you is just over the top.

Listen to their fans? What do you think they've been doing all this time? Everything that they are doing is because the community wanted it. I could give examples but that's not the point.

Sure the mods there are retarded, but with time I'm sure they'll be replaced.


I was warned for harassment within this post (was referring to Halo Waypoint and 343i). haha. I honestly don't see it.

But I digress. Flaming doesn't seem that much of a problem here.. Though you do get a lot of hate Ken.

I'm sorry, but can someone give me the definition of "flaming"? My mind thinks that "flaming" someone means watching someone spontaneously combusted, engulfed in flame.
