Basically, I make the best topics ever.
Feedback!
Duardo: This thread is locked for being stupid.
cortana 5 : It's perpetually my time of the month and I'm just grouchy.
Foman: I see absolutely no reason, either theoretical or practical, that this is not a superb idea. Excellent work, my friend.
Dear Golden Septagon (next to topics employees have posted in),
It's not me, it's you. When we first met, nearly 5 years ago now, I relied on you as a brightly colored beacon of helpful information and assistance. You were great. I clicked on you, and in return you showed me where the friendly employees of this site interacted with the world. I loved you.
But now I have grown older and more cynical. I am no longer the carefree high school student that once roamed these lands. I have a life, and with that life comes a depressing reduction in time. This means that I have less time for your silly games, Golden Septagon. This means that I when I trust you to show me the informative posts from Bungie employees that accompany your mark of approval, I expect to actually see informative posts from Bungie employees. Not crappy spam that I spent a good 3 minutes looking for. I could have walked down to the market, bought an actual can of spam, and started eating it before I even got to the page that you told me to look at. And that spam would have tasted a lot better than anything you ever gave me.
I know I told you we were through, but for some reason I simply can't ignore you. I was done with your lies and deception, but your scandalous yellow outfit kept calling me back. I know, I'm weak and pathetic, but that doesn't change the fact that you are deceptive, misleading, and evil. I thought we had something, but I was wrong.
I wish the web team over at Bungie would just allow the employees to decide whether they wanted to notify you every time they posted or not. Something like a check box, so that way you wouldn't even know if they spammed, and middle aged men wouldn't be drawn to the remains of some lame joke as you squeal and dance around like the stupid attention whore you are. That way you wouldn't even be given the opportunity to screw up at the one purpose you have in this life.
Anyway, that's all I really have to say to you. You have disappointed me for the last time and I have finally made the decision to block the url that you are saved on from ever showing up in my browser again. I hope you're happy.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Evidently 99% of you didn't quite understand what this meant, so I'll clarify. While this is a joke, I am a bit serious. I'm not complaining about the employees posting. I'm not complaining about Bungie 'going dark.' I'm not leaving B.net or anything like that.
The ONLY thing that I have a problem with is the fact that the 'Golden Septagon' shows up every time an employee posts, even (and especially) if it isn't necessary. I get irritated when I see a topic with a legitimate question and a Golden Septagon next to it only to find that an employee was only making a joke. I love jokes and I'm glad Bungie interacts with us, but there is absolutely no reason that attention should be drawn to a topic simply because an employee posts in it.
It's been proposed before, and I'm simply supporting the addition of a feature to allow employees to choose which topics get the 'Golden Septagon' and which ones don't. That is all.
To those that actually understood what I was saying, I apologize that I had to write this EDIT and ruin a perfectly good satirically serious OP.
