They lock way to many threads. They have created the *threads of interest* thing and now anything you have to say can go under one of those. But thats not quite how people like forums to be. They should just go ahead and take the *new topic* buttom away, becuase if you use it, your thread will be locked. I do think that it's good not to have every small idea somebody has posted as a new idea, but when some one does have a good, new idea they have to go file it away somewhere not that many people read.
For example,
[url]http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=7105770[/ url], was a perfectly legit topic. It sorta deals with gameplay, and multiplayer, but it still deserves its own thread. Also, [url]http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=7105770[/ url] also deserved its own thread, but it was locked.
Well, this will probably be locked becuase it doesn't portray directly to halo3, but where else should i put it, other than the flood(no body here goes to the flood)?
First of all, your links are exactly the same. Second: they did need to be locked, because that idea DOES fall under general Halo 3 ideas.
The new topic button is for new topics. Not topics we've all heard about a billion times, or ones that could be put in a central location for everyone to see and keep track of.
Mods lock posts because they are trivial, repeat posts, or posts that could be consolidated into larger threads. It's pretty siple to follow the rules and read the sticky threads. Just do it, and dont complain.
