I would like to take a moment to pose a question and say a few words to our moderators.

The question being do you think ninja's gain our respect from the simple fact that they hold the title or is it What they bring to the system.

The moderators here. Though there are a few I have seen less of than others. Have always been fair. Personally I follow the rules on this forum as an extension of my respect for how they act. They are honest, light hearted when appropriate, funny at times, and heavy handed when necessary.

I want to know what other members think of our moderators.
Also how you treat ninjas when debating with them in a thread.
Do you treat them as peer members or do you handle them with "kid gloves"

Some moderator reaction for the lulz

-- Forum Ninjas aren't better than other members simply because we are Forum Ninjas. It is also because we are so handsome.

Call me a regular member and I'll print out your post and choke you with it.

So this ninja? I am a member. The badge, the belt and the hardware dangling from the belt? They are not who I am, they are just something that I do when I think something needs doing. But I am still me, with or without the trappings. I couldn't be anyone else.

OT: I already said I don't know anything about ninjas or duality of anything non-Qbee bashing. So I need no "don't ban for off topic replies because I made an on topic addendum" qualifier. You should have already gathered that from the first part of this post. That you haven't suggests you're with Qbee in his active attempt to disrupt all that is good and just in this world. You will be purged for this crime.

They got their title because they earned the respect of the Bungie webteam and previous mods through their contributions to the B-net community. That in itself is worthy of respect.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

So are we supposed to kiss the ninja's butts in this thread?
But anyway, when debating with a ninja I wouldn't say I use "kid gloves", but I tone down the swearing. But no, I respect everyone at first, they just lose the respect ninjas included:P

I suppose that's one way to look at it. The web team did "Appoint them"

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Alot of the ninjas seem cool now, but i remember alot of them starting off as annoying forum cops and bungie kiss asses. They know who they are. Just because they are moderators, doesn't mean they are better then me or you. Just look at pictures of some of them for the lols.

I tend to be a little less in your face with a ninja, but most of them can make for some really good debate on something they are super passionate about... Sometimes they just derail our stuff :)

I don't go back as far as what you are referring too. They have always seemed nice to me. I do laugh though when people get banned for being off topic in the off topic forum. I never understood that one.

I don't foresee any mod's here banning anyone over a logical argument, They are better than that.

Aww, they grow up and get cynical so fast :'(

Thanks, OP. I most certainly hope that you respect ANY member on this site who exhibits all of the qualities that you named in the OP. But this community has all types, and I genuinely have respect for anybody who is true to themselves when they post, even if they wouldn't necessarily make a great forum moderator.

What EAGLES5 said does ring true, though -- Forum Ninjas aren't better than other members simply because we are Forum Ninjas. It is also because we are so handsome.

* looks at linked post

Wow you wen't back far.

I, in the grand scheme, haven't been here "long".
Like i said in the op i don't know some of the forum moderators at least I don't interact with them as much as I do you, Daz, or evilcam ( oh and recon ). You guys have always seemed rather fair in your moderation and are always fun to have debates with. With out sounding like to much of a suck up, good work :)

You can't really think of them collectively as no two are alike.

I think this is actually where some people make a mistake.
The moderators aren't a single person. Each of them has a personality and a style. Sometimes new members just see them as people to be avoided.

basically I agree with you

I want to know how foemom can go so far back! I cant even search myself that far.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

They're all doo doo heads.

Naw, they're pretty fair and humorous.


Most of them, anyways.

I respect members who are 'nice' ect.. if they are a complete jackass then i'll ignore them. Be that a Member, Employee or Ninja. We are all the same at the end of the day. A few mod tools and a salmon/atomic orange theme doesn't change my view on people. It's like in real life, I can respect a police officers orders and follow them, but it doesn't mean I have to respect them, the person could a complete ass. Who knows whats hiding under the hat.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

I try to respect all members, I treat all members as equals, I treat mods the same way I treat everyone else. I do my best in order to help and when I help I am helping the mods, thus helping the community...

A fair enough way to look at things I suppose. When i first joined this site I started out giving everyone the "hes/she's a nice person" I learned over time that you really just have to start everyone at 0 and let them work up or down from there.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

A little of both is truly the case. I know each Ninja has earned that rank but I don't have to like them or respect them.

The difference between x Foman123 x and Recon Number 54 is a good example of this.

All I have to do is stay within the rules, the Ninjas take on the job of enforcing i and they earned that right. I respect them all for that, but they have to earn anything past that.

I forget what Shakasta, er- Shatiska? Scketah? Shechesta? Shaqekta? Shakaete?
I can't even remember his/her name, much less what his/she was like.
