"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

There is, except the restriction only applies to creating threads.

I wouldn't think that having them not being able to post at all would be a better solution, so I would rather just keep it the way it us.

Note: I only quoted ctj to use as a reference point to "the way it already is" and not to respond to him, but the OP.

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

I'd like to respond, but I'm not really sure what has happened in this thread...

Personally, queue times are counter intuitive and drive away the good people while slightly deterring the bad.

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.

First off, this is most definitely where this topic belongs.

Secondly, this idea has been brought up before and I still don't agree with it. People made the account to start posting, I'd be kind of upset if I found out I had to wait a day before I could start posting.

by the way - letting these people post shock links means that the bungie website in its current state links children to -blam!-ly explicit images with no age requirements: food for thought.

That's not bungie's liability, it's on the person who clicked the link.

Not sure, but we definitely don't want that for the sole reason that that would be feeding the trolls to the extreme. That'd pile a thousand-foot high mountain of bait.

regardless its bungies website and they have forums where minors are allowed - if not encouraged to click on links of genital acrobatics and medical disasters. how do you think a minor news outlet would react to that information on a slow news day? good publicity?

It's the internet where things like that happen everyday on more sites than this one, I'm sure they wouldn't toss two pennies at your "hard-hitting story".

"Man Posts -blam!- Sex Link on Video Game Forum" is not a very likely headline. Also, how the hell is Bungie in any way encouraging people to click these links?

Also, lol "genital acrobatics".

The Risk Is Worth The Reward.

OP you do know that even if the waited a day, they could still post links to shock sites the day after. Keeping them from posting the day they join up will not change that.

  • 12.07.2011 7:30 PM PDT

It's against their ToU. That's all they need.

i dont care about that. what i care about is the fact that bungie enables minors to view pronography on the internet.

So, because your topic was not left where you wanted it, you're planning on "telling the press" that "the Internet has people posting links to naughty pictures"? Awesome.

Look, the only surefire way to stop malicious linking is to disable links entirely. Especially when this site has account creation that is dependent on the ease of WLID creation.

Yeah, I'm sure Bungie is responsible for millions of crusty sheets nationwide. It's not like we have a thing that allows us to search through all the -blam!- in the world or something.

Who the hell do you think I am?

They already have to wait a day.

how about "childrens video game website facilitates minors viewing smexually explicit material including mutilated genitalia and penile gymnastics"

How about, "People stupid enough to click on link about CoD: Modern Warfare 5 get meatspinned."

  • 12.07.2011 7:38 PM PDT

You lost me there. They don't allow it, facilitate it, or anything of the sort.

Oh, and Bungie makes M-rated games. Not for kids. Case closed.

This is a typical post from this guy.

What part of "they should have locked your thread and banned you" do you not comprehend? Them moving your thread was them being lenient, not -blam!-s. Here, I'll say it again:
THEY SHOULD HAVE LOCKED YOUR THREAD AND BANNED YOU. THEM MOVING YOUR THREAD WAS AN ACT OF KINDNESS.Christ.

do you know me as the kind of guy who lets things go?

you stopped lurking and posted because you know im right. the flood has hundreds of coup threads but mine got moved in less than a minute.

I know that no one, absolutely NO ONE can tell you anything that will ever change your mind.

Do what the hell you want. And when someone else doesn't agree or conform to your desires, get angry, call them blind, arrogant, hypocritical, self-delusional, and go on to the next step without self-evaluating your own position.
