Begun, the carpet ban has.

Toasting in -blam!- EPIC BREAD.

OT: I agree.


Wasn't a carpet ban a little harsh?


No, that was the most obvious type of spam thread and anyone who replied knew this was the case.

There is no room for debate.

You'd be surprised how many people have multiple warnings/bans in their history for replying to spam.
Can someone explain why this is bad?

Nuke from orbit.

Then we pave it, right? It does get paved after being nuked.

PS: You really are a tease.

Bumps the thread to the top of the forum page, gives the user undeserved attention, potentially earns you a warning or ban, &c.

With stupid people, there's no such thing as "harsh".

You're joking, right? It was a thread about posting pictures of tits. How is that not a highly bannable offense and clearly spam?

I think Sken has dodged more than enough bullets in my opinion.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

Bans don't solve spam. They just happen to be the only tool we have at the moment.

That will change.
This day just got interesting.

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

I learned my lesson from that thread. Noble Legendary to nothing. :(

If the mods are going to carpet ban, they should do it consistently, not when they're having a bad day. There have been so many threads like that that didn't have carpet bans.

  • 09.01.2012 4:43 PM PDT

1st ban on 7-10-2011

Dont you worry about _____ let me worry about ____

You have been sent a warning from x Foman123 x. This warning's text is below:
Incomprehensible gibberish.

The mods all ban diffrently. Achronos decide to carpet ban, it's his choice. And like stated before, you helped keep a thread titled "18 year old titties" (something like that) alive, if anything you're lucky he didn't give you a 2 week.

But, you see, that would take forever, and no mod wants to have to do that.

However, a carpet ban now and then? Now you are questioning yourself, "is it worth the risk to make a dumb reply in this obvious spam / troll thread?".

It is an effective deterrent.

Oh, and if you just got a 3 day, your title will be back pretty soon, although if you are that worried about it then you have bigger problems than being a "lowly member".

You are the only one (besides possibly those involved in that nuking) that probably thinks that was a little harsh.

Can you imagine how much cheese pizza was probably in that thread?

HOLY -blam!-!!! I went straight to mythic and skipped legendary! THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

I'd like to thank the academy.....

The first time I can think of that Achronos said to "nuke it from orbit."

Ooh, these 'changes' or this 'change' sound/s rather interesting. I wonder what the Bungie team have up their sleeve now.

Latest carpet ban

Why mods not do this more often? It's a great way of teaching people not to respond to a obviously against the rules thread! And after getting carpet banned I, for one, learned my lesson. Is it only not done to keep people on this site? Is it because some mods just want havoc on the flud?

Note: I do not know what the the thead was about nor who replied. Although I am positive OP didn't bump it 3 pages in a row.


Thank god you're not a person in power of a country.

I got carpet banned and lost my exalted title this week :(

I was just spamming every new thread with inb4trippiehippy because the dude was posting -blam!- in every thread and no mods were online to ban him at the time. Didn't realize that the thread could be carpet banned at the time.

  • 09.08.2012 9:14 PM PDT

Do you want this place to turn into a 343i forum? The more strict the banning becomes, the less people will be tempted to come here for fear of being banned. I think the moderation is fine how it is.

Just remember that reporting will get someone noticed!

The Bungie Mods are cunning. They walk here and there, they say; at times unnoticed. Just remember Bungie Mods take many forms and disguises with the power at their fingertips to scorch our rears in a split second.

Reporting will do the community good, and as well as yourself!
