in the flood there is a user that is posting the leaks of halo 4 in the title and then bragging he is spoiling it. for the people that are posting to it can there be a carpet ban in place for it? my reason for asking this is because it it posting to spam and with each bump it is allowing people that dont want to see this stuff at that top of the forum. i know some people are posting legit stuff in it but they know they shouldnt be.

does this seem fair to everyone? this isnt ment to stop people from making the threads, this is to prevent people from bumping the threads.

for an example. if you look in this forum you will see an act of what i am talking about we have users that are posting in a thread that the OP has been banned in. you cant see whats in the OP so what is the point of posting about it? you are only drawing attention so that it stay at the top of the forums so people are continuing to see it.

OK NOW THAT THE CARPET BANS ARE IN. do you agree that this was the correct thing to do? what are your reasons and why do you have these reasons?

I concur. A carpet ban or two would do some justice and perhaps send out a message.

Message a mod and move on. By creating a thread about this you are empowering and emboldening those trolls. By posting in this thread I am adding to that. -blam!-

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

no please don't because I posted in one after I realized what he had done out of anger, please don't ban me.

I am trying to fix this as well

Agreed. Carpet bans for everyone who posts in spoiler threads. Even the "report and move on" people.

  • 10.14.2012 4:01 PM PDT

Ah, it must be Sunday night. That was quick.

OT: Yes a carpet ban sounds lovely.

well i am normally against carpet banns because it doesnt do anything. but this is blatantly obvious that you shouldnt be posting in it, and it is hurting the whole community thats why i made and thread, and i was also interested in seeing what others thought of the idea.

Yorkie at the top of your thread can you put "excluding T1d3". Can you not understand my anger coming home from vacation and having my all time favorite game series spoiled for me? I meant nothing by it, I repent

I honestly would suggest just shutting the Flood down at this point. They'll only get worse.

It was only a matter of time before the spoilers showed up in the user names.

I don't think carpet bans should ever be the default bans for situations like this. Just stay out of The Flood if you don't want to be spoiled. Better yet, you can just go dark in general. It's the safest option to stay spoiler free.

You people act like this is a new phenomenon. There will always be trolls out there posting information prior to game releases to mess with the masses. Like I said before, use common sense on what you are clicking. If you see a title that looks compromising, don't click it.

Pretty sure they need the thread as evidence for the ban, though I could be wrong.

where would people talk about random stuff at then? you can have everyone on the site join into 1 private group to talk about random stuff. and there really is nothing you can do about the usernames tho :/

So you would rather let people feed fuel to the fire rather then have them extinguish it?

You say that like spoilers won't come into the Community forum as well.

Otherwise, yeah, the only safe place is offline.

And you can't believe everything you see online. I could easily create a thread that says "MASTER CHIEF IS ACTUALLY A GIRL, CORTANA TURNS INTO AN ELITE".
