Subject: Group Wars

Twitter | Nothing

Some groups and founders of groups are starting to get out of hand lately. Instead of people concentrating on their group and making it the best it can be they prefer to try to make other groups appear bad. You see alot of posts about people who spam other groups' forums or flame their members etc: and I personally think it is childish the way alot of people go on.

What I am wondering is why do people spend time doing such things when they could be working on making their group really good, by creating good content, interesting activities, awesome news posts, just to name a few. So why doesn't everyone start playing nice and work on making their group good, not other groups bad.

Because their number might be larger than my number, or my number isn't as big as their number. Wah, WAh, WAH!

Psh...that's nothing.

What happens when you have a specific Spartan group trying to destroy all Elite groups on Bungie? They already taken out 16...it's all retarded. Don't they have anything better to do?

Seriously though, I am getting sick of logging onto Bungie and having to 'protect' my group from spam attacks...and all this other bull-blam!-. I just want to be a normal member.Can I get just one of the mods to permabann their ass?Please? We are getting sick of it...

what they should do is jus get rid of counters

Permabanning them still doesnt make it so they can acces groups, they just wouldnt be allowed on the forums, they can still post on groups

Can't Achronos just delete their group....again(you'd think they'll learn the first time)? Once they are permabanned..they won't be able to make groups.......er....but that doesn't stop them from making alts.

I am really getting sick of this. They are ruining the Bungie community.

If it get really bad I could see Achronos just deleting the groups

Or..removing the Group features completely. He already threatened about that once.

If we all would just mind our own business, Bungie.net would be a better place. Just make your group the best possible and leave other groups alone.

I'm all for the total deletion of both groups, since they can't be mature and simply co-exist.

Mabie it would be a good idea if groups had to manually accepted. Although, that just means another thing to do..

I think that is the way groups used to be on the old B.net. Groups had to be accepted before being formed. I doubt that would solve any of the group war issues, though.

GJJ I'm not complaining because people have/are doing this to me or any of the groups I'm in, it's just in general alot of people are doing this. Is there any way we could combat it to try to stop this. Because I personally think it would make bungie.net a better place.

Maybe having to have your group manually accepted before creation would be a good idea, but there are hundreds of problems with it. One of them being who has the time to do that?

Well, they did hire KP to do site content.

I think having groups manually accepted wouldn't stop group wars. We have thousands of groups already here on B.net. If it was to go to a closed group creation, it would only stop some new groups getting into the flow, while other groups already created are causing wars.

Plus, lets say we do switch to this system. A group gets accepted to be created. What's preventing it from starting a group war with someone else? Whoever would approve groups wouldn't be able to judge the character of a group just by looking over their info.

Commonly referred to as the "nuclear option".


Alas, such are the workings of the world. To take individual cases would require far more time than what people would want to take, even incredibly nice and patient people. Thus, either the group leaders behave, or we go by the old adage: "Kill 'em all, 'cause I ain't got time."

jim's got it there, i think.

achronos will probably end up reading this post, so ill ask here - is any way you can ban people from accesing group content, and, could you start doing it to problem members? ta

OMG

Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

Most groups are good, some are great and have communities of their own.
Taking this away from good people would just be giving in to the few pests around here.
