I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

Yes, I agree

It's because lots of people are not connecting to Live (aparently, matchmaking is having issues). Ninja on Fire has been posting the same generic response to all of them asnwering the question, and then locking it.

The reason why they don't get outright deleated is because the author needs to see the reponse or he will keep posting about it. It may clog up the forum but it's better than a bunch of repeat posters asking the same question over and over again until they get an answer.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Maybe mods should delete the threads? and PM warn the the starters.

Like what? The only alternative is to delete the posts, which means the authors of those posts will just post again.

No, the locking is correct. And the real, unlocked threads will pop back to the top if someone replies to them. You'll just have to start reading the second page more often on busy days.

Deleteing would be just has effective if the starters of the thread were warned.

They are warned, there are tons of stickies that are what not to post, and what to post, yet they still post. WTF

People need to realize that not all the topics on the first page are the best ones. I usually go back 3-5 pages. Depending on how old the thread I want to reply to is, I'll reply. If it's too old I don't want to be labeled as a "forum gravedigger" (forum underdog has such a nice ring to it) so I leave it be.

I don't find it as my least favorite forum simply because sometimes people have great ideas. Other times, it is simply I think Dat thee new playlistz should hav warthog wars, MLG 5v5, and stuff. I wish people would study more into the background of things before making it up on their own.

Yeah they have to know what Bungie can and can't do before the post. Is it really hard for them just to click on the stickies and find out what Ninja doesn't want in there?

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

You know, that's what I thought at first. But why don't you check out page two?

After the "ZOMG CANT PLAY MM WTF BUNGIE" threads died down, I cleaned up the first page.

You have to realize, when something happens that causes people to panic and start spamming the forums, it's in everyones best interest for those threads to be locked instead of deleted. Locked threads draw a lot more attention than deleted threads, which helps to inform people and prevent further spamming.

Exactly! Everyone complained about it and now that they have one they don't use it! The people that wanted one but didn't complain, use it; the ones who whined about not having one over and over still don't use it.
