Key

1. Don't be rude to other people. Staying away from sarcastic asides and directly insulting OP's and users in general (at all) is a good way to make sure you don't get warned.

2. Don't troll. Really bad, obvious, and persistent trolling has gotten people warned/banned before.

3. Don't be overtly pessimistic about everything. You'll have a bad experience, people won't like you, and you'll have no fun here. (and might get warned)

4. Don't try to bypass the profanity filter.

Follow the above and you should be on your way to not getting so excessively warned/banned.

Edit:

5. Stop making threads about Halo: Reach in the Community Forum. They don't belong here.

ok first off thank you very much but two questions, what is trolling and where should my posts go???

Looking for clan that isn't too serious? Then join the ODST 501st Airborne Battalion. Go to http://www.501st.forumclan.com for more info.

I noticed that you posted something about Halo: Reach in this forum earlier. That could be the main cause. Bungie doesn't like it when you post things off topic. Lets say you wanted to post something about Halo 2, you would post it in the Halo 2 forum. If you wanted to recruit clan members, you would post it in The Classifieds. If you think your topic doesn't fit anywhere, post it in The Flood.

If you do this, I think you will avoid those warnings and bans.

Trolling is when you're just an extreme jerk for the sake of making another person upset. You just say things to push their buttons to get them pissed off.

Also, things related to the games should go in their respective game forums. Go to the Community Tab [drop down] and click game forums. Then click Halo Reach and...boom!

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

If you did read the rules, there is a line that asks to post in the correct forum. The words "correct forum" are hyper linked.

If you click the link, it takes you to a page explaining what goes where.

There's a tab at the top of the page that says 'Community'. That's where you'll find the other forums.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

If you want to know which forum to post your thread in it's simlple, you browse through all the forums and decide which category your thread belongs under.

Lets say for example I make a thread advertising my group.

"Come along to such and such", this would belong in the Classifieds, because it's an advertisement.

If you get stuck, read the forum description for each forum. Hope that helped.
