Then someone *cough original poster *cough started a thread about the spam in the same forum.
No, I wasn't replying to those threads, and wasn't spamming. I wasn't trying to feul that guy in any way, although it looked like it, but only becasue of the timing. I was just telling people that, in all threads that are spam, to not reply to them, and to not send any PMs to that person, because it just gets what they want. Attention. It's actually kinda pathetic that you think the moron that wasted an hour of his time being a dumbass is a smart person.

The Flood was essentially created for spam. It's not going to change, and it shouldn't.
No, it's an "Off topic forum", not a "Spam here and act like a dumbass" forum. And it's not like it's been going on forever. Well, it has, but not to this extent. A sudden "surge" of spam and extreme stupidity has erupted in the past week or so.
Someone will come in here saying some crap about how the Flood goes through "cycles." That would be crap and you and I know it.

Flood = Needs fixed.

EDIT:

What I was kind of getting at was- it's a cycle. There have been periods where I've noticed nothing but intelligence on this site, then times where it seems like every thread is full of idiots.
Had to be you, didn't it? From what everyone makes it sound like, its ALWAYS bad, just sometimes worse.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

There have been so many spammers, so many bad threads, and an infinate amount of users that shouldn't be users, and all of it has come about in the past week or so, and the mods have all been slow on the take, either by deleting threads, blacklisting users, or reigning authority. This is mostly going on in the (you guessed it) Flood. Something needs to be done. Recruit new mods, be on more, have some kind of deal where we know who's on and who's not so we can PM you guys right away.....but this has got to stop.

If there is anything I've learned on this site, it's that things will happen as they will happen. Rarely do new mods need to be appointed because of a week long spam attack. Just let time take its course.

EDIT: And no, the Flood does not go through cycles. It was always mindless. It always will be. I used to frequent it for a few months after it was made a forum. I got a kick out of being able to post in a thread about whether or not I was wearing pants and not getting in trouble. It's always going to be mindless like that. It will never get any more intelligent or any less intelligent.

EDIT EDIT: Korean, is it even your job to tell people not to post in spam? I think that the mods can tell people that themselves. They don't need people with no authority running around trying to enforce the rules for them. Just trust that they're doing their job as best they can.

When the Flood gets really bad, I just go to the private groups or I contact mods. The Flood has been like this for a long time. It is the nature of that forum.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Those are the works of those Forum Trolls. They act dumb for no reason. They challenge the Code of Conduct and the Terms of Use. There are an increasing numbers of Trolls. All we can do and the best thing to do is report and stay away from them (do not respond to them, ignore them, etc). We (members) are not moderators so we can't blacklist them.

Rumor has it they are behind the trade deficit, global warming, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic as well.

For future reference, the term forum troll is redundant. Most people would assume youre not talking about the things that live under the bridge.

Do you know whats ridiculous? Its the number of these threads that keep popping up. When is the lightbulb going to blink on and people realize this is the way Bungie.net is. This is the way Bungie.net will be in the future until such time as they implement a way for users to be held accountable for thier actions.

You complain about trolls, flamers and spammers, yet there is no mention of pointless, space wasting threads like these. There have easily been 30 in the past month in one form or another. Stop making these threads, you're only adding to the mess.

*poof* ALL of their "work" is gone. As if it was never there. Posts they made are now gone. All that is left is the reactions that the less disciplined members made in response to the spammer.


Ehh...

I hate it when people like you try and act 'cool' because you don't 'care' about a forum. I mean, it's just a forum right? A forum that people frequent a lot, and so in order for us to continue our entertainment, he's saying we should fix these things. That's why we care.

And you can't cry on a forum.

Too much focus on acknowledging problem users and the problems they cause and not enough on those who do the right thing by ignoring them and/or reporting them to ninjas. Isn't this unintentionally giving them more of what they want? Bahh! Now I have helped fuel the fire.

Think of it this way... if they didnt spam in the flood, where would they spam? Thats right, in the Halo 3 forum, the Septagon, the Maw, Optimatch... Better to keep it there than in all the others.

Although I do agree that there has to be some new Mods that can keep the peace when the other mods cant.

The best we can do is continue Trying to report it.


Notice the word trying in that sentence.

Yeah, I know. If people had been trying before, maybe they'd be doing now.
