The people who are in the flood don't give a damn as his. There are a lot of people that just post random -blam!- in there, I know I have. The threads in that forum or more of stupid conversations about nothing, then actual off topic conversations.
I think we should remove the "Say your Stupid Stuff Here" as the discription. It may help. But then again, maybe not. The whole "Off-Topic Forum" sentiment tends to let people think that they should post the most idiotic things that pop in their mind- then wonder why they get in trouble or flamed for it.
The Flood needs to grow up. Sure, I love humor and the chill atmosphere. But people in there are hypocrites- They flame spammers, yet the threads they make are pure spam. And there was (is?) so much elitism. I remember my first night in there: I was told to shut up and go back to Halo 3 Forum (my original home) because apparently I was making too much discsussion while being a new member. Stuff like that is just stupid and pointless.
There's still elitism, but it's going away, thankfully. People need to understand: We're a community. Act like it.

It has always been like that, but with every big bang of members suddenly people notice how bad it is...I was one of the big bang Halo 2 people, but I now know what the older members felt like with the release of Halo 2...And as Craz3d noted there is the cycle of The Flood.
I wonder what this place is going to be like come Halo 3. I can only imagine. I will make sure that any member who comes in when we hit the Halo 3 era will feel comfortable here- or at least I'll personally try.
If you want to stop certain "bad eggs," then help them feel like they're a part of the community. Don't make them feel like they have to "earn" respect here. If we can treat people with kindness and respect, we can improve the community and futher strengthen the relationship between the members.
