recently i posted a topic in new mombasa about faulty xbox dvd drives only to have it locked by a mod and replaced by such topics as "join my halo 2 team that doesnt exist",recycled news and my favorite "how to deal with halo 2 anticipation" followed by "anticipation caused by halo 2, how to deal with it" and several other non halo 2 related topics. Well i accepted the fate of my thread with alittle anger but moved on to 'the underground' to repost it. By now most of you will be thinking "whoa buddy youve got the wrong forum" but how can this NOT be halo related, ITS ENTIRE PURPOSE IS IT PREPARE YOU FOR HALO 2! Well anyway I posted the topic after seeing topics such as "My sig" which is completely non bungie related and several other pointless topics. Well just as i expected a wanabe mod came in and told me to go to the flood so i said buzz off and thats when the mod came in and banished me again. Keep in mind that my only intention was to help xbox owners and future halo 2 owners. Since ive got the time and now im in the right place (i hope) ive decided to find some justice in the whole situation, was i done wrong by the mods or not?

If anyof you are interested in the topic i was talking about, scroll down

I researched and it turned out to be the dvd drive in my xbox made by thompson, this is a really important heads up for some of you. Thompsons SUCK hardcore, I never messed with it, they just break down over time, i played pandora tommorow fine offline but when i started to play on live it kept messing up and never read anything. I had to buy a philips dvd drive off of ebay and installed it. click here if you want to find out what kindof dvd drive you have and which ones the best. http://www.freewebs.com/xboxdrives/ Might wana buy a different drive if you have a thompson to be ready for halo 2 i got mine for 40

No, your topic wasn't Halo 2 related in any way. It DOES belong in the flood. The mods didn't 'Do you wrong'.

Whats funny is all the topics you listed as non-Halo 2 topics actually ARE Halo 2 topics. They even have Halo 2 in the title.

You have only been here a few days. Follow the mods advice, as well as the more experienced users advice. If they have been here a while, they know what they are talking about.

dont be a fool ive been here longer than you, i was banned recently for reasons i dont want to say. Those topics were halo 2 related but they arent of much use which is the point im making, unless your a freak whos obsessed with a game thats not out yet.

No, read your own first post in this thread. You posted a number of threads in the wrong forum. This one is fine (technically), the others are not. And if you don't like the rules, that’s fine- you can just leave here and never have to deal with them again.

Another point im trying to make is that the judgement of the mods isnt always right, you cant tell me every 'bad' topic is locked even when the mods are really working to lock threads they let some go on and on only because they are so pointless that they fit in with all the others, if i were to write something like "im probably guna have to get a new dvd drive for halo, halo 2 rocks!" i wouldve got away with it. And i dont see how my topic wasnt halo related, if the title was Warning for halo 2 buyers, wouldnt it fit in?

The focus of your thread was the DVD drive, NOT Halo 2.

The mods lock threads that break the rules and/or code of conduct. They do not lock threads that you or anyone else might deem 'Bad'. For that is your opinion, and if the mods locked on opininon, they could lock ANY thread they pleased. There are a set of rules laid down in order to prevent mods from going on a crazy locking spree (Although before they became mods they were obviously valued members of the community, so they would prob not do this anyway).

Your thread was in the wrong forum, and as much as you whine about how 'unfair' the mods are, their descision is final, at the end of the day. They are put in the position they are in for a reason. It is safe to say that the mods ALWAYS lock the right topics, because it is clear what is allowed on these forums and what is not. There is no grey, it is black and white. A thread is either legal or illegal. Your previous theads were illegal because they were on the wrong forums. Simple as that.

right, but why would I talk about the dvd drive if it wasnt in some way related to halo 2? If that was the case why didnt i just talk about elephants and chinese people? and actually we dont have any 'rights' so any thread could be locked for anything slightly outof hand. I agree with you that the mods usually make the right decisions but i think they went to far to take me outof the picture when there are dozens of topics which are outof place. Try not to paint a pretty picture of the forums, nothing is black and white


anyway its late and im going to bed, ill find this tommorow and continue it untill hopefully im allowed to repost my topic in one of the forums, which i doubt will ever happen in these fuzzy grey forums

You are right to be doubtful. That aint gonna happen.

If you don't like it, leave. The mods are semi-all-powerful, and what they say goes.

You have no rights. Bungie controls everything. Play nice.

By the way, I read your thread that was locked. You had ONE sentence about Halo 2. Come on, deal with it.

Yah, anyway... we arent beasts, we have alittle something called Morality, its what separates good from bad, and that what im trying to appeal to, even though WE have no rights im trying to appeal to the morality of the mods and the people.

SO anyway here i am again like i said i'd be, give me some support and guys, dont be afraid of these mods guys, yeah they might have god like forum powers but as a whole we make up the forums. Well i havent gotten a response from any mods... maybe ill send them a message, untill next time, thats if im not banned

Only those that have done wrong fear the mods. By the way, trying to incite some kind of rebellion isn't going to be very good if you don't want to get banned.

So you're trying to say that we should attempt do something to stop the mods form moderating the forums? That's just plain unintelligent- they might as well be gods of these forums. Throw your ideas for a petty revenge out the door, because quote frankly you're just making more of an ass out of yourself than you were in the first place.

In fact, an apology from you would be useful right about now. That is, if you even care about redeeming yourself.

If you were here longer than Stalin than you should know how the rules work. There was no excuse for you not knowing where to put your thread. If the mods tell you to do something than it behooves you to do it, or was that the reason you were banned in the first place? I have talked to the mods, as well as many of the other people in this thread, and I know how they work. Quit complaining and get over it.

You're telling Me i have to reform my habits? you might wana think about that

Actually, in your case, I see it as someone who is unwilling to accept that what he did was wrong. Cut the excuses, you broke the rules and you know it.
