Bouncing between here and Waypoint. When I get banned from one I go to the other,

It's come to my attention that Waypoint just doesn't have the vibe that this place did.

I thought these moderators were bad...but good God, Waypoint's are just overzealous.

"Ah ah ah, these are the forums of a Mature-rated game. So you can't say any naughty words. And if you actually find profanity that we didn't think to add to our censor, we're gonna give you a three day ban.

And when we said heated debate is encouraged, we meant polite heated debates. We expect you all to dress nice, grab your glass monocle, and be respectful."

Their mentality, pretty much.

I miss you guys. People had to actually WORK to get banned here.

The official Halo website now that 343i owns Halo.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Waypoint has 2 basic rules:

-Stay on topic
-Be respectful and mature

If you were banned, one or both of these weren't being followed.

Their forums are exclusively for feedback, and they don't want to have to sift through 'heated discussion' littered with profanity and flame wars. That doesn't happen in the office, and it shouldn't happen on their forums.

I agree that the mods are strict, but the overwhelming majority of people who have gotten banned have deserved it. It isn't difficult to adhere to their site rules. Thread's complaining about waypoint just discourage people who can actually discuss the game in a civil manner from going there.

I have criticized the game and disagreed with posters all the time and I haven't been warned or banned. Again, follow the rules and you'll have no problem.

On the topic of this thread, I miss it pre-launch when it was a positive environment, but I definitely don't miss it post-launch.

If they can't properly program their damn profanity censor, that's their problem. Don't make it mine.

Not even a warning. Bam, 3 days, just for saying "-blam!-gery."

Judging from this thread, I'd say it's your problem, not theirs.

There are only 3 obscene words you'd need to use to emphasize a point, and even then you could do it without them.

This isn't difficult at all.

Goat, you know how level-headed I am when I'm involved in serious discussion. I have had several of my posts edited by the moderators, all of which were devoid of any inflammatory remarks or implications. Granted, that hasn't happened in a while and I have posted there a few times since, but they really are biased jackasses over there.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

COD fanboys, idiots, kids, and Reachtards. Its pretty bloody scary over there.

That, and over here, your threads are listened to. There are so many "livin deadz ideaa" threads over there, your legitimate thread with discussion value will be pushed to page 3 in 15 minutes.

Wrong. I got permabanned for posting in a thread that was a week old.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Few interesting funny troll threads happened here. Overall, I don't really miss anything. Probably will never be active on WP, it seems pretty pointless.

Not sure. The good thing about this place was that a lot of people could tolerate being insulted by another user. Over on Waypoint they give you a time out.

Pathetic. This is an M-rated game. They need to stop treating us like children, whether or not we act like them at times, lol.

I usually never post here, I only read, but this place, dammit, was way better. I'm not talking the community as a major part of the community migrated to Waypoint (althought you B.net guys that stay loyal are pretty goddam cool,) but the staff was just... way more funny and I actually couldn't wait for the weekly updates to come out. I just hope Bungies next game will be as big of a success as halo.
