Subject: I know how to stop spamming.

So there's a big fuss over at the 343 forums about the company screwing over a bunch of LE purchasers. I went over to share my thoughts. It's really not a great website. I type fast enough to where it actually deletes entire words if not sentences. It's very irritating actually. So there I was being irritated and debating whether or not I should go to bed since I need to be up in a few hours... And then it hit me.

The Bungie Webteam has two options.

1. -blam!- up the site. If they make this site horribly slow, it will irritate everybody! The plus side of this is that there will be no more spam attacks! Why? Because it takes around five minutes to make a single post. And since you pretty much are required to type the post in, say, Word Document so you can actually type more than 10wpm, it's more irritating!

2. Bans affect site loading times. Yep. If you're banned or warned, the site goes slower. This is your punishment, peasants. Now, this wouldn't necessarily be due to a regular ban or warning.

Centuries ago at the dawn of the age the idea was put forth to have 'secret bans.' A moderator bans a user, but that user can still post, PM, make threads, what have you. In fact, that user is never even told he is banned. He continues as normal except... nobody can see his posts or threads any longer, except moderators. This could be extended to include the page load times. Just... make it take longer. Trick the computer into thinking it's loading when in reality it truly is 'just you.' It's that easy. Just make code.

Discuss whether you think these ideas should be implemented immediately or wait for Bungie.next.

Only because your mind is clouded by your devotion to me, that you can think of nothing else clearly. Then you ramble on in your little world thinking... what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire? No. Your load times will burn until your monitor is but glass, and not even your apathy will allow you to crawl, blackened, from your room.

I don't know why I even came in here.

Also, there is a spam filter. It limits the amount of time you must wait between posts.

Idea one is awful. Idea two is something a crazy person would think of, and that's probably why I like it.

My people... Sons and Daughters of Bungie. This much I vow: The history of these days will be written in blood. By crushing the armies of our enemy, by seizing the weapons they thought to turn against us, we were fighting for our very existence. But if there are those who would deny us peace; refuse us our rightful place in the universe, then we will unleash such terrible vengeance that generations yet unborn will cry out in anguish! ...The enemy may shatter our bodies, but they cannot break our spirit. Even now they advance on our home world, to seize by force what they cannot claim by right. They cannot imagine what awaits them. WE WILL SMITE THE INVADERS FROM OUR SKIES! Though they sweep over our lands like the sands of winter, never again will we bow before them; never again endure their oppression; never again endure their tyranny. We will strike without warning and without mercy, fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares, drenching our ancestors' graves with their blood. And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as we rise again from the ruins of our cities... they will know: Bungie.net belongs to the Septagon."

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I don't have troubles typing on the site. I have a pretty high wpm count, and the only issues I come across is slow post times. So when I post it takes a minute to get back to the thread.

If I didn't have a signature, this would now be it. Thank you for that. I still hate your ideas.

It stopped repeats of Watermelon King, not spamming in general.

If by awful you mean of superb taste and quality, then I agree.

Perhaps you are more skilled. But then, this thread isn't about you bragging. I don't know why you'd try to make it into that. Let's stay on topic, shall we? Should both ideas be implemented right now, or wait for Bungie.next? I cannot decide whether it would be worth such an overhaul before the update or not. Hmm.

Burrito, your either more senile than I originally thought, or our simple minds cannot comprehend your grand scheme.

This site would load 34 times slower than it currently does then, I suppose. Unless the effects wore off. It is a matter of cleansing. I would also suffer if the effects were permanent.

I find it odd how nobody has said which of the two times would be superior.

I actually like the idea of the "secret ban".

No, no, no, no. WOrst idea i've read today.

All it would do is piss people off and quality of posts would start decreasing.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

I'd probably end up breaking my computer....so this is a no-go.

It would only piss off people it affects. The bad guys. Unless you mean number one, which makes sacrifices for the greater good. Are you not willing to sacrifice for society? That is the attitude that leads to the destruction of nations. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Hey, you're white, you should feel ashamed. So it only affects those who get banned? I thought it affected everyone and worsens for bad people...
