Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter.

Because that's where all the Reach forum members migrated to.

No hate from me. I know that they've got a growing, diverse and very opinionated community. I wish their community manager and their moderators the best of luck in keeping their site a fun, welcoming and interesting place to visit.

I would give someone at least 3 days for calling someone else a moron. I've given 7 days for it, too.
If every moderator were like you on bungie.net, then the flood would be a very dull place indeed.


Harassing other members = fun

Got it.

Oh and:

- Respect your fellow members, or at least tolerate them publicly. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, even if they probably deserve it.


;)
I did not forget the it's rule breaking to harass other members. I'm just saying that calling someone a "moron" should not get you banned, ever. If you get upset because you got called a moron, then you shouldn't be on the internet in the first place, especially the flood.

Edit: Maybe a warning might be a fit punishment, and if they are still being a jerk, then ban them for a day.

They have ridiculous moderation and unnecessary banning apparantly.
Plus the majority of the Flood seems to despise halo 4.

>Says Majority of the flood despise Halo 4



Have you ever read them?

"OMG CALL OF HALO OF DUTY"
"OMG THE ART DIRECTION IS KIDDY IM NOT BUYING"
"HALO IS DEAD"
"CASUALS ONLY"
"HELMETS LOOK LIKE POWERRANGERS THIS ISNT HALO"
"343 HAVE RUINED HALO"

I used to read a lot of halo threads and most of the comments were like these.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

I went there once, any posts nay saying 343i or halo 4 are either locked or deleted, and I was banned for suggesting advice to them. Waypoint mods are -blam!-.

I think people are more irritated for being banned for criticism. Of any kind. At all.

My DeviantArt Gallery - For my Photoshop stuff, go have a look!

I don't like how you get jumped on for virtually any criticisms given, or suggestions. Anything saying a feature might be detrimental is swiftly met with messages that 343 will do everything right, ever.

...and every thread there seems to be a person on the first page just saying 'I disagree', in a one-liner. Getting as much 'thanks' as the OP itself. I'm not a fan of the thank system for this.

There are alot of flood members who despise it, but I saw more actually look foward to it.

Because the majority of the flood are either lying, or exaggerating. I posted criticism alot of times, and have never been banned.

Acting like an ass and posting critical feedback based on certain things are two VERY different things. Pretty much the flood acted like the former than the latter.

I am an orange mist amongst a sea of blue, so my flames may stand out and represent all those who trully believe in this great sacriment of Bungie history, let my story be told as the only legendary still standing even after I fall Just as my comrades did so graciously to fight for the true loyal.
If you have legendary, would you stand by my side and go forth into a sea blue and demise as my brothers fighting for those who are trully loyal to Bungie?

There is so much wrong with that site. Wether it be how they run theirs forums, all the way to how it performs overall. I myself prefer this site even though I'm a dying for Halo 4 because this community is nice plus the mods are all really cool and know what to do. You dont just get handed the option to be a ninja like you do on 343 -__-

Plus, some people have been here on Bungie.net for many years and in a way this is our home. You can't just "Move" without good reason or kick someone out.

  • 09.09.2012 9:41 AM PDT

Because its just as retarded as the Halo 3 boards in their prime, but somehow even dumber.

  • 09.09.2012 9:43 AM PDT

I r guy who gun to teach u lesson

The site is not that old. Gotta give the mods time to get some experience. For now, they get rid of anything that could remotely harm the site so it looks more attractive to new members, which they can do since its their website. No one forces you to go there. Moderation is strict but complaining here won't really fix it (contact 343 if you are really so troubled).

"Team shoot the wraith!"
"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"
*starts betraying blue teammate*

The mods.

If you post anything remotely critical about Halo 4, you'll get locked. And that's if you post it in the nicest way humanely possible. Anything more blunt and you'll get banned.

In essence, the mods destroy the whole point of the forum, which is to give 343 feedback. Instead, you can only post about how you want this piece of armor to dress up your spartan.

You unlock this door with the key of inebriation. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of gingers, a dimension of drunks, a dimension of Lucky Charms. You're moving into a land of both beer and potatoes, of marshmallows and leprechauns. You've just crossed over into... the Shamrock Zone.
