It's an off topic forum.

However, "off topic" does not mean "post any old -blam!-". It's about -blam!- time someone started locking threads for being a pile of arse.

That's nice.

But what I wanna know is what the -blam!- addons are you using to make the site look that nice?

  • 10.27.2011 4:37 PM PDT

The Flood is an off-topic forum, but it still has rules. Religious and political threads just lead to flame wars.

I have no idea what Foman is talking about in that post though, assuming it is real.

  • 10.27.2011 4:40 PM PDT

I breathe BR, not kidding homie.

yeah idk what foman was trying to say either regarding that screen cap.
nvm, the banned user says this in his last paragraph
"-but don't call this an off-topic forum when Topics in said forum are regulated with the same effort as other forums on the site."

Fomans reply wasn't that the flood wasn't a off-topic forum in general, it obviously is. he was referring to the post, that it wasn't off-topic. And only Naive Floodians would think that

I'm pretty sure Foman meant that The Flood isn't some wasteland where you can post anything you want without consequence.

  • 10.27.2011 4:43 PM PDT

We need a madness to the method!

It's an off topic forum.

However, "off topic" does not mean "post any old -blam!-". It's about -blam!- time someone started locking threads for being a pile of arse.
Examples in case you don't get it yet
1) No blogging
2) No teen love life stories (yes we know nothing is as important as what's happening in high school right now)
3) No deliberate flamewar sparks

Now, Foman was wrong to say it's not an off-topic forum (look at the link under the community tab), but this is what he meant.

EDIT: lol, the Floodians are getting pissy over it.

For more proof, here is another time he said it.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Obviously it was a slip of the tongue, or keyboard, or whatever. Get over it. Elmicker is correct in what I meant, and I have said this exact same thing numerous, numerous times.

One error does not change the nature of the forum itself.

I do think he posted without thinking. Everyone has done something dumb like that in their experience on here, and if you haven't, you will. Mods ain't perfect.

What did the OP do to break the rules?

Whoever banned him, you're a dick.

But why would you lock and ban a guy who said he was leaving the Flood?

Dude was locking my thread necessary? I swear it had nothing to do with what you posted earlier today. Come on admit it. You at least liked the idea right? :D

Depends which motto you wanted on it (ie. Off Topic: The Flood).

I have another question. Why are threads about Foman being locked? They don't seem to be breaking any rules.
Maybe this one: Respect your fellow members, or at least tolerate them publicly. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, even if they probably deserve it.
But if someone came up with an agrument against a ninja that still respected him, it would probably be locked.

Look at the thread that you're posting in. Self-evidently, this is untrue.

  • 10.27.2011 5:01 PM PDT

Yes the flood is an Off-Topic forum, and by ''Off Topic'' we mean not to do with Bungie or the Universe(s) they created. Respectively there are still rules on what can and cannot be discussed, if your topic falls outside these parameters; it is considered '' Off-Topic'' thus being followed by a lock and possibly a ban.


Furthermore, Foman is probably getting some downright hilarious hatemail and he should totally post it in the WHAAAAMBULANCE for the rest of us to lol at.

If all those people on the Flood hadn't gotten banned they would probably be here arguing with you. It also sucks that when you get banned your text dissapears doesn't it? So that there is no way to know what was said unless you took a picture of it.

*shrug* I mean, maybe so, but they chose to break the forum rules so they're not. I don't see how this is relevant.

It also sucks doesn't it that when you get banned your text dissapears? So that there is no way to know what was said unless you took a picture of it.That's a major purpose of a ban.

I made a thread that was not about Foman, but used correspondence between me and him as an example of a larger picture.

It seems like it's the only thread I've made in a bit that hasn't been locked. Even though it was a stupid thread. If your thread really isn't breaking any rules, then it will stay open. No matter what, apparently.
