I'm everything. The when's, why's who's and what.

Tycho on the PS3 launch: "Well, you have not succeeded, not at anything laudable. You've kept young people in out in the elements for days through your ineptitude, this is true, but that is worth negapoints - a reverse scoring method exclusively for jackasses that starts at zero, and actually goes down from there."

Wu yie. Yao Gun.

Now lets move on to the comment above. First of all to me if you volunteer for something then you dont get to -blam!- about it. Because you volunteered. You had a choice and you made it. You cant take a job and then go "Oh the job is hard because of you people". No -blam!- sherlock. We're the job. You knew that coming in. Even if you get paid to do a job its still ultimately your choice whether you want to do it or not.

Bull-blam!-. Pure -blam!- bull-blam!-. Since when does not volunteering set a precedent for complaining? You can complain about whatever the -blam!- you want. And from what I know about jobs, you almost always volunteer to take a job, it's up to the employer to hire you though.

Put that in perspective. The truth of the matter is that most of the time something gets locked not because its necessary but because the mod feels like it. Because they have to make gut decisons. They might as well call it what it is. Personal taste. I dont like threads about Chuck Norris. Locked. I dont like this debate about H1 or H2. Locked. WTF? Since when did it matter what you prefer?


When a thread is locked, it's not about personal taste, usually a mod feels that the thread is not gonna go in the intended direction and get out of hand so they end it before it begins. Sometimes they are repeat topics from the past that never ended well so that logic is slightly flawed.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Anyway, my two cents, why are there only 22 mods on a forum of 2.2 million? That's one mod for every 100,000 Members. It's just silly.

No offense to the mods. They do great work. But a site like Bungie.net should have thousands of mods, not 22.

I'm just thinking about my native New York City. There's 10 million people and 45,000 police officers. That's on cop for every 222 people. That's probably enough. But one mod per 100,000 that's just pain for everyone involved.

*all numbers and assumptions in this post were completely guessed at and/or plagiarized.

You have to take into accound the number of deleted accounts, which is a lot. So I really think there's about 1.5 million, but I get your point.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

Which is why there isnt any H1 vs H2, MLG vs BFG, x vs y topics. The maturity level here is currently not at a level that can support intelligent point-counterpoint topics.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Ok. Firstly, Johnrap has highlighted one very obvious flaw; if you are going to write an argument, you must expect and accept counter-argument. If you simply ignore any points made that are not along the lines of "Oh dude, i totally agree," you will have successfully created a very near to pointless thread.

Second, i do somewhat agree to what you are saying; there is a little extremity here that really shouldn’t be the way to convey the point he was trying to make.

Thirdly, you seem to be arguing that people take this place too seriously (it seems you are too, so this is not the strongest of points) and that moderators think they are gods amongst insects. This, at least in my opinion, is most certainly not the case.

Surely you can understand and sympathise with this point somewhat. The moderators and many other members of this community strive to make the forums a friendly, stress-free place to be. Why, by making this thread you have shown that you too care about this community. While the broader topic here is something to be debated and discussed, your main point it seems should be with the moderator in question and not with the community at large. Until you agree to read what others' opinions are on this matter, i suggest you attempt to understand where the moderator was coming from by private message or similar.

Oh and finally, to the best of my knowledge 1) not all moderators have Gundam figures and 2) The Buddha doesn't fly.

Ach! Was ist los?

For the record, I didn't volunteer for this job. I was told that I met the criteria and that if I didn't show up for work, horrible things would happen to my mother.

The t-shirt they promised as compensation still hasn't arrived, either.

I'm going to put this topic out of its misery. First, you already made one like it not too long ago. Second, you said you didn't want a debate, so there's no point in leaving it open.
