As you may know, everybody on The Flood has been bickering about the Mass Effect 3 ending. The way they are all going about this is ridiculous and child-like. There should be constructive criticism and not whining fanboys.

Threads are popping up left and right about it, and it should be considered spam.....and they're not playing nice and being jerks.

Here's what i'm proposing, a Bungie employee warns everybody to stop with the making of Mass Effect 3 whining threads, and tells everybody to complain on the Bioware forums. Why? Because it's their game, not Bungie's game. If anybody keeps doing so after the warning, threads will be locked and possible bans will be handed out.

I understand that The Flood is Bungie's off topic forum, but the bickering and complaining is getting ridiculous, out of hand, and plain out annoying. It makes my enjoyment level on this site drop drastically, and i'm sure i'm not the only one.

So, does this sound like a good proposition?

Honestly? It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

The members decide what we want to discuss and our participation or non-participation in topics are what decide whether they are on page 1 or not.

If you don't agree with the will of the masses, that is your right, but why should anyone decide that certain topics are not allowed even if they follow the rules and are being visited and replied to by our fellow members?

I'm just saying get rid of the ones whining about the Mass Effect 3 ending. It's getting ridiculous.

Plus, complaining here on the Bnet won't do anything. To get thier voice heard, they must go on the Bioware forums.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

This. We don't need any more rules to enforce on the Flood.

Just something temporarily to get everybody cooled off.

Leave the around for at least 3 months? That should be enough time.....just don't let them know when the rule will be lifted.

Checking out my profile I see?

Take away Mass Effect and they'll just complain about something else. Most likely the fact that they can't talk about Mass Effect anymore.

Then what becomes the next subject to face your wrath? Halo 4? MLP? Next weeks meme of the moment?

I think that the term frequently used is "signal to noise". You are deciding what is "noise"..... for you. But for the people who are creating and replying to threads that you consider noise, those threads are "signal".

How would you handle it if a good, solid, timely, worthwhile and relevant topic (as you see it) were to get stamped with the "noise of the day" label and you were to be not only silenced, but punished for not complying with someone else's idea of "what we ALL should be talking about"?

If I wasn't banned for it, I wouldn't have a problem with it....seriously.

But I do see your point.....i'll give it a week. That's about the general time period for hot stuff on The Flood to calm down. If it doesn't, I will be re-posting this thread.

The Off-Topic forum is for just that, discussing any topic which falls within the rules. If people are willing to discuss the ME3 ending, then that's their right to; just like it's your choice to divulge into them or not. There are several other topics (in fact, the majority) which are on the first several pages which have no relationship to ME3. If none of those please you, then you have the ability to make a thread about something in that forum that you wish to discuss about.

“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.”

Don't bother. ME3 is just one in a long line of things that get the Flood flustered. Unless you are going to have a rule made every time something of any interest to teenage gamers happens, the entire thing falls apart.

Life?
I have the internet and Doctor Who; i don't need a life.

i'm in that forum most of the day and i manage to ignore them just fine.

Yes, but all the times it has happened, it's cleared up by a week or so.

If it's not cleared up by a week or so, I said i'll be re-posting this thread.

Halo 4 lasted a few days each time.
MLP lasted a 1little more than a week (thread wise, then it started to tone down in threads, even though there are plenty of bronies around).

Give it a week or two. They'll be back to talking about ponies in no time.

Real life? What is that?
Graphics are good, gameplay sucks. Overhyped IMO.

You should've been there ~5 minutes after the first gameplay was shown for Halo 4. OP, Mass Effect threads will die down after people find new Halo 4 gameplay.

Bad idea. You just sound like you don't like the complaints. It is a trending topic in the gamer community and the audience of the site for good reason. Should we disallow all topical threads?

Bungie is supposed to make rules about Mass Effect 3 threads because you do not agree with their opinions, amirtie or amirite?

Why do you care? It is a hot topic.

If the people want to discuss a certain topic, and if that certain topic remains within the rules, they should be able to.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

This really doesn't affect me since I'm staying off the Flood for all of March to avoid any possible spoilers.

I think the place should have calmed down by then.
