Subject: Dealing with the Flood

I knew I wasn't crazy when I made this thread....yes....if not nuking than better resources at the moderators disposal or even at the common user level...that incident with the NSFW there were no mods for a good while but they came, took care of it....still more resources are always a good thing.



What could the user get to modify their experience here?

What could the Moderators use to increase the effectiveness of their efforts?




Some of these days I feel that scorching that entire board might not be such a bad idea....granted most of the time nice things come around but it only takes the actions of a few to frack up the whole bunch and turn it on its' head.


If not nuking then restrictions or heavier bans on violators at least. 3 days for being a jackass....returns and continues....gets permabanned, makes new account and continues. Seems like a cycle.

According to some here I'm offending Bungie by expressing my concern....flame away.

But it's not "random or interesting". It's a predictable storm of Vs threads, WW3 threads, the occasional Time Travel thread and Halo 4.

No need to amp up the rads. The Flood already glows in the dark.

Does everybody do signatures here in the community forum? It's so useless. B.net doesnt support that.

Eveyone? I think I've only seen about 5 people use signatures during the 3.5 years I've been here.

OT: The Flood shouldn't be nuked.

That's right.

I've been there for what, 5 years straight? No other forums - no private groups - nothing else. It has its ups and downs.

Nuking it would be exciting though.

Bye.

it only takes the actions of a few to frack up the whole bunch and turn it on its' head. Lets say Achronos nukes The Flood. Where do all those users who want to spam go? Thats right, they go to other forums on the site. As long as there are forums, there will be trolls and spam. I think it's best to keep an area where all that can be put so it doesn't clutter all the other forums.

Define 'nuking'.

And yes, that's the reason I'm here, on the Community now. I just knew someone was raging about the Flood's behavior, lol.

Personally, I'd love to see the Flood nuked.
But activity on this site will probably decline by a lot.

From what I've seen, that forum cannot function with being babysat 24/7.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

"The Flood" (the people in it and all of your ideas about how those people behave and what they represent) is already contained in one place. It seems like that forum is doing it's job to me. Why would you want to get rid of that?

I am amazed the Community Forum/Flood rivalry has existed for the 4 years i've been here. People need to leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet gooooooooooooo.

Community forum-goers think they're too cool and refined to post in the Flood and only wish to suckle on Bungie's underbelly, while Flood goers dgaf and do what's fun, though suffer from plagues of trolls, spam, and very repetitive threads.

Each forum has their weenies.

Fortunate for me I don't fit into either category....I just have a thing against people who launch personal attacks against individuals....that ain't trolling.

See this wouldn't be a real thread if we didn't have someone getting philosophical.

Why indeed? Why are you here? Why am I here? Why is anything here? There are pertinent questions for us all.

So let me ask you a philosophical question:

Why is the Community Forum here?

That is what we call a rhetorical question, because I am going to tell you anyway.

It's here so the entire community can collectively fellate itself in an endless string if insincerity. I mean we have to get mods from somewhere, right? This place *gestures all around* a bit like The Flood, really, but there they have the modesty of at least telling you that the place if full of garbage. Here we've got basically the same thing under the guise of community help, people thoughtlessly pondering questions whose answers we have known the answers to for well-on seven years, pontificating endlessly and without much true purpose, like soap suds bubbling up persistently from a leaking pipe and then coalescing unnoticed in a dirty sewer drain.

So go ahead. Nuke the unnecessary forums. Just start with this one.

Subject: Dealing with the Flood

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

I messaged deej about it. If only I had the ability to ban and lock threads...the flood would be normal-ish :P
