The user in that message is a, what you may call a "mis-informed". Not that he is new, but his knowledge of the Bungie.net community is slim. he usually only posts in the Halo Forums.

Reguardless, it is not that the Forum Ninjas do not "give them their time", but that they recieve many PMs over bans, warnings, questions, etc. The point is, is that is may be very hard for them to get their questions answered when PMing an active moderator. There may be times where I will PM an active moderator, and I may not get my response until the next day!

That's a good point; I only directed him to the Mods because they were the only ones I could really point him to.

Don't be stupid like I was! Check to see what that Forum Ninja is saying to you!

If I was a Mod, I would answer PM's. Sadly it is only an "if"

Mods are always willing to take my owl should I want to register my opinion on the news of the day.

This. Also, If I receive that message while I am on my mobile, chances are I won't respond. By the time I will have gotten back to my desktop, most issues have been resolved.

I'll try to be more responsive though.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

He's quoting the character "Horace Slughorn" from a passage in 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' where he's describing to Harry Potter some of his former students, one of which is now the chief editor of the Daily Prophet (the most popular of all the wizarding news publications).

Qbix doesn't reply to the animal videos I send him.

Also, most mods I message, message me back relatively quick! I'm sure that they receive a lot of messages a day, so it would take time to go through them all.

It's super easy with Shi Options. I dish out a lot of PMs so I get a fair amount back, and Shi Options has that little notification that makes it so much easier. Mods! USE SHI OPTIONS! Posted by: Kboyz07Qbix doesn't reply to the animal videos I send him.

That's my favorite one of the series. :)

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

I reply to every PM I get unless the last PM I received concludes our conversation or if it's a spammy PM/group invite.

If you're reading this, you need to stop stalking me. If you can't stop stalking me, you might as well go here.

I'm not going to claim that they're all wonderfully helpful or completely useless: the mods and webteam are individuals, so helpfulness varies. There are several that I would expect a worthwhile response from, and others whom I wouldn't put it past to blow it off and tell you to re-read the ToS/CoC or something like that.

As an example, I PM'd Achronos a year or two ago asking some general questions about the schooling involved in web development and web design. Despite his job being of a more behind-the-scenes, number-crunching development nature, he gave me a very helpful answer. He also said I should PM Stosh, who works on the front end/design aspects of the site, which was what I was primarily interested in.

I PM'd Stosh, and he never answered.

Moral of the story: Stosh is a dick.

Well you also never know who is online at any given time, unless you get that uStalk script which always helps :)

Like others have said, it's not their "job" to wait around and answer PM's from people. They have their own lives too, they are also community members. Whenever I PM a ninja I usually get a response back within 48 hours of sending it.

People only make themselves feel underestimated because of their own doing.

yolo? -blam!- that! YOLTOSS!! You Only Live Twice or Some -blam!-

I've only sent one PM to a mob before and it was answered within the minute. I was so amazed I sent another PM thanking him for his speedy response. I've been waiting for a reply from that one for awhile now.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

Huh, the Ninjas ALWAYS respond to my PMs. Except for True Underdog, I think he has it out for me.
