Subject: This is one of the reasons why i love b.net over other forums

I run Skirmish!!!

I have been a member of the bungie.net forums for over four years now without a problem at all, love the community and people here. I join the waypoint forums, post my opinion about what i think about halo 4 then get slapped with this ban.

i received this for no reason on the 343i forums.. How do you even get banned like this??

I said negative things about Halo 4 and never got banned....Clearly you have an issue with expressing yourself in a manner that doesn't involve targeting individuals in a hostile manner. 20 cookies says that wasn't your first post like that.

honestly, it actually was. All my other 50 posts have been in the halo 3 and halo wars sections. I only posted in the halo 4 section once i found something i did not like then responded in that manner to someone else.

This is why i love these forums so much and stick to only b.net for my forum needs, because you can actually have an opinion about something here.

not at all, I came here to post about how awesome these forums are compared to other ones like 343i. I've had many debates here with members of the community and have freely voiced my opinion without getting a 274 yr ban, i do this once on another forum and receive a ban like this. The second poster on this thread took the words right out of my mouth "We take these forums for granted. I luve zem."

I guess it just took a ridiculous ban for me to realize how amazing these forums are and how i take these forums for granted compared to other badly run ones.

I went to go view the post but I forgot that Waypoint deletes all rule-breaking posts until the END OF TIME. *has 9ish bans on Waypoint*

OT: The masks Preschoolers make for Halloween out of paper plates are more convincing than the one you've attempted to clumsily fit over the face of your thread. Complain about Waypoint in the flood, if anywhere.

Over at Waypoint, they have a very strict no flaming rule. If you choose to break the rule, you will be punished. Your ban had nothing to do with the fact that you were voicing your opinion.

"You obviously lack any critical thinking skills at all so let me dumb down my post for you..."

If you posted your opinion without the above line, nothing would've happened. Just sayin'

I wasn't complaining at all, This is the only forum i really log onto and care about which is why i thought about sharing how funny this was with the community and how much i took this forum for granted before this happened.

Well sure you were expressing your opinion and that's valid enough, but you really didn't have to be cocky about it. Apparently the only thing I gathered from your post is that you wouldn't appreciate a bit of evolution or change in the Halos series. You'd want things to stay consistent over several years.
And obviously 343i disagreed with you. And I wouldn't blame them from banning you considering you accused them of stealing concepts from Call of Duty and presenting yourself in a less-than-appropriate fashion.

Bungie is just better about picking their fights with people. They understand that you have to allow for opinions, but that there is a fine line that you can draw and enforce without losing fans.

1. The mods aren't employees of 343i, just like the ninjas here don't work at Bungie.
2. They don't care about opinions. They banned the OP for insulting another member.

It's getting annoying seeing all the people that go over to Waypoint, proceed to call someone an idiot/whatever for having a different opinion - getting themselves banned - and then coming back here to complain.

It's somewhat ironic considering my ban history on Bungie, but if you just followed the rules over there, it wouldn't happen. OP's ban might be a bit extravagant, but I also seem to recall the mods here giving ridiculous bans.

/rant.

On topic. I like the Bungie forums too.

yeah but bungie does not ban you for 274 years though, that's the part i found really funny and which is why i wanted to make a post about how i feel these forums are really the only good set up forums compared to a lot of other ones.

I've never once called someone anything on waypoint. I was banned for literally arguing with someone else. They said the argument got too heated even though there was no swearing or name calling.

THIS many people wouldn't be complaining about it if it wasn't a problem. Just because what you've observed may be different doesn't mean that it's the norm.

  • 05.31.2012 2:13 PM PDT

That's Waypoint for you. The only way to not get banned is to not post at all.

  • 05.31.2012 2:19 PM PDT

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.
