The best victories are the ones the other side didn't expect.

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

Lately I've been using the Bioware forums to keep up with nerfs/buffs to characters, weapons, abilities and the such. One thing I've noticed on their site is that there is a serious lack of trolls. I think I know why this is.

To post in the majority of Bioware's game specific forums, you have to register your game. So, in order to post in Mass Effect 3 forum, I had to prove that I own the game. I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think this would eliminate being able to make alts, and keep people a little more mindful of their posts.

So webteam, have you considered doing this for the forums?

Bungie is no longer maintaining the halo universe

I see a flaw in your plan sir.

I'm not quite into the idea. Yes there's trolls and such, and this could help keep them away; but think of all the normal contributing members that will be consequently punished for nothing.

I'm not sure it could be implemented into all of the forums, but adding some kind of registration for posting would help. The idea isn't necessarily to copy the method, just to make people more accountable and responsible for their actions. Then again, trolls troll to troll.

Why? It keeps people from being able to do the more spamtastic things that happen on this site like Alt spams.

Because this is not Bioware forums, this is Bungie Forums.

Trols fear the Ninjas here.

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.

That would be so bothersome. And on top of that what game would you register?

Obviously, as of right now, you wouldn't be able to register any games as the Halo Universe is being managed by 343 and Microsoft. This is more of a future suggestion for their new title. Like I said in previous posts, it doesn't necessarily have to be a game registration, it could be something else.

I say thanks, but no thanks.
