It baffles me on the things you guys say about it, I feel like none of you guys have ever even been to it.

Everyone there isn't a "Blind Halo fanboy who sucks off 343". In fact, the people over there are more critical about Halo 4 than here. There are tons of threads and posts there, all criticizing the decisions 343 made, such as removal of gametypes, certain features, etc.

Another thing, no you do not get banned for having a different opinion or having a negative opinion. If that was the case, half of people on the forum would be banned.

No, it's flaming of presenting your opinion in an insulting manner which isn't tolerated. Feel free to present any negative opinions of the game as long as you develop them properly and respectfully, like this.

Overall, I feel like because some people here were banned on that forum for "no reason" (when really they most likely acted like dicks), there's this notion that the whole forum is garbage.

Granted, it's not perfect, and sometimes it loads really slow, but it isn't the terrible mess you guys make it out to be.

Also seriously guys, show me one example of what you view as "bad moderation" or "unfair moderation". I bet all of you got banned for flaming and or trolling (and insulting others). You're clearly breaking their rules, you'd deserve a ban for that.


Discuss Halo Waypoint, and why the Flood hates it so much.

The waypoint forums changed big time after halo 4 was released, but before then the flood had alot of good reasons to bash them.

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Halo: Reach
Halo 3
Halo ODST

>no reason

But there is a reason.

The fact that you said 'for no reason' after asking 'why' says you are going to be close minded regardless.

This. It's clear that you're an ignorant fanboy OP. Go play it and don't bother us with your concerns. Nobody cares.

Forums don't load quickly, the website crashes often, the UI is terrible, and the mods all have sticks up their asses.

I once got banned for making a list of things that I thought ought to be added to Halo 4's Forge and Custom Games.

Bungie doesn't like French on their site.

I don't have a problem with Waypoint. If I feel like talking about Halo, I'll go there.

You can get banned for correcting someone in an innocent fashion. The fact of the matter is that the forum is run like a kid's website and everyone is told to use blunt scissors and DUPLO lego blocks so they don't hurt themselves.

And the layout is awful, especially the stats.

EDIT: You seriously want to read examples?

I don't have it bookmarked and I'm not searching for it for you.

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

They hate it because they flood doesn't know how to express their opinions or discuss something without flaming or resorting to the online tough guy act. They don't know how to conduct themselves in any other way.

Well I can tell you right now the reason you got banned is for flaming other users or probably insulting someone.

It doesn't matter the reason he did; he wont know until the ban is finished because he can't check his inbox.

Yeah, that's the thing that bothers me the most. Seems like a huge oversight.
