Flaming is no longer tolerated and being cracked down on the Bungie.net forums. (collective) I read your plea and understand, I have come to know the Maw has being a friendly place for users to ask questions and have them answered by some very bright people. If you encounter and disruption will browsing the Maw such as spam, flaming or any other sort of nonsense be sure to either contact myself or any other of the Moderators and we will be sure to slap so justice on the offender.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I think a lot more people need to read this. Some of the people who even posted here don't care about it. There is still a lot of flaming going on.

Ninjas, please crack down on all this and get rid of all of the flaming. It is ruining The Maw.

I go AFK all the time... :P Anyway, this place has changed a lot. Back when I joined, there were many "models," such as me15ter, Chewy, AM Inspire, and others. However, many things have dismantled the environment here, namely the TKing threads and "OMG Microsoft ****s" threads. This is very unfortunate, as I see no way that Microsoft's marketing techniques have to do with HPC. In other news, Gates is stepping down in 2008.

Thank you. However, while moderation is one of the best solutions, the beginning of the end must start within every single person. For the sake of the community, those who are at fault should correct themselves. Thank you for your support.

Its a forum, a computer games forum. Its bound to be full of annoying, illiterate kids. Mostly, I agree with your points, but Im afraid you just have to deal with it instead of making a song and dance, because as much as Id like it too, your rants wont make a difference.


Thank you for your support. However, as mentioned, this is an issue that all must be made aware of, not just the moderators. The best remedy starts from within.

Again, thank you for spreading awareness of this cause.

If we are being that picky, I think it was the third.

And no need to get sarky meiter, just putting my opinion across like you.

Besides all that, the type of people your on about dont even read the stickies, the chance of them reading this thread (or even the first post) is minimal.

No, no, no, you misread me. I do fully understand and respect your opinion, I'm not trying to get you to see things my way. Sorry if it came across otherwise.

B ig frickin bump in light of recent events.

This behavior is not acceptable. And I quoth from the locked thread above:

dont b an ass, if u dont like where the maw is going, stop whining and just deal with it. some things cant b changed. this is the internet, ppl piss ppl off and think its funny, u have to live with that. ive been drilled by u guys so many times that im used to it, u have to get used to things also, and stop whining, apparently the ninjas dont think this is too much of a problem, or they wouldve steped in.

I will not tolerate having a senior member of the Maw, Iggwilv, flamed for trying to correct other's improper, I might add behavior.

The mods did indeed step in, as seen in the linked thread...

Okay, so you get a question by someone who isn't quite skilled in grammar and spelling. Jump conclusions and then start the flaming. Well you can drop it, people are naturally lazy and will take short cuts, look past it and help the person. If you have nothing to contribute to a thread then go back to the thread index and find something else to reply too... preferably something you know about or at least can contribute to. If you're going to flame you will be blacklisted, plain and simple... you keep doing it, three strikes you're out. It doesn't matter how you type or how many words you mess up, the fact is if someone is asking you for help you better help them or direct them to someone who you know that can offer assistance. The Maw is very self contained and a very helpful community, if you seek to disrupt that balance you won't last long on here, especially if I catch word of it.

As for the Moderators not doing anything. The majority of us haven't played Halo PC or if we have, know as much as the members here. So we keep our mouths shut and keep the peace. We are always up for suggestions on how we can improve the flow of the Maw and we do our best to sticky guides and other helpful articles. That's about all we can do that would be beneficial for the people who visit this forum. I know ninjas are the root of all evil in the world... but if there's anything else that you'd like to take up with me, please feel free to private message. And if you guys decide to ignite a little war like this again, some people will be taking vacations... final warning.


Learn to respect others, don't jump to conclusions, and follow what's right, not what every other person does.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

Something tells me all hell is gonna break loose when the Maw splits up in two: One side for H2PC, and one side for Halo PC, this is just like what happened to the Covenant lol.

I think Yoozel, quoted two posts ago, says it best: if you can't contribute, seek a thread where you can.

I live by that rule and the only arguments I get into are friendly ones about what weapon is better, etc.

It is quite easy to do. If you go into a thread and think "UGH!" because the writing is so incomprehensible or the entire subject seems outright loony to you, keep your two cents and put them back into a different thread.

Let this be your warning. From now on instead of replying to posts and trying to reason with you I will be sending a PM to the ninjas. They will come in and make a decision of whether the post was an appropiate way to express your opinion or unecessary flaming. If the people that have been flaming and treating people like crap in here continue they will eventually find themselves unable to login to Bungie.net.

Bungie.net is a community like any other in the world. It has a Code of Laws and they are enforced. You either learn to live within the community and respect its rules and members or you no longer are welcome in the community. Thats is all I am going to say of this.

Igg, just use Google talk like I do. It's much quicker and easier.

Worst-case scenario: The majority of Halo 2's adolescent, racist fourteen year olds get their mommies to buy a new computer, Windows Vista, and a copy of Halo 2 PC, thus making the Maw the next Zanzibar... *shudders*...

But chances are the more mature, older crowd of PC gamers will come into the Maw when Halo 2 PC comes out.

I've only been on this forum for about half a year now and I have noticed what you speak of.

I do agree with the typing thing.( typing errors annoy the hell out of me.)

However, some people are just -blam!-s(sry for lang) and there is nothing you can do about it but this thread should help people start to see their errors. It was good of you to bring this to light me15ter.

I think some people think like you do but are afraid to say something. I think this was needed to keep some things in check.

I'm sure we are all guilty of this to some degree and maybe we should all take this lesson to heart and try to greet all inquiries as if we ourselves asked them.

After all why do we all play halo... to murder, maim, and cause chaos. Anyone who posts here has that in common.

Sorry if this post was a little corny but hey, I'm trying. =)

Man, I wish this forum was like it was when Halo PC was first released... And when I still hadme old bungie.net account.

This small little forum has grown to be quite a handful, and I feel dishonored to say that I had a chance to change the way it turned out, and of course I did not.
