Se7en mods there are, and se7en mods there shall remain.

With exception to Rip and Banshee (who wont be here on this site till after halo 2 is out) I think they are bad choices. I can definately see abuse coming from them two. No offence.
Alsothere is no need for any more mods. They are already being helped out by some Bungie staff like Blondebeard.

A scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked a turtle to carry him on his back across a river. "Are you mad?" exclaimed the turtle. "You'll sting me while I'm swimming and I'll drown."

"My dear turtle," laughed the scorpion, "if I were to sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you. Now where is the logic in that?"

"You're right!" cried the turtle. "Hop on!" The scorpion climbed aboard and halfway across the river gave the turtle a mighty sting. As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle resignedly said:

"Do you mind if I ask you something? You said there'd be no logic in your stinging me. Why did you do it?"

"It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion sadly replied.

"It's just my character."

Hah, that was a different version of the snake biting the boy. I think it's more common sense to not do that kind of stuff.

I'm sure Shishka, Sketch and Achronos are definitely doing more work on these forums than they were before the other mods began their temporary leave, but these three are definitely doing a great job at what they do. (if there are any other mods still doin' there thing, sorry if I didn't mention you... these are the three that I'm sure are still around.) Keep up the good work guys.

My belief is that closing New Mombasa would only cause more problems in the other forums. For the most part, leaked information is in the jungle that is New Mombasa, therefore closing it down would only cause the mess to spread throughout the other forums. Then, New Mombasa would not be a mess (seeing as its closed down), EVERYTHING would be a mess.

As far as getting new temporary (or even permanent) mods, that's up to Bungie and Bungie alone. If the mods needed help beyond what the members of Bungie.net could offer, they'd surely come up with their own solution. I have the feeling that if the mods ever came to a point where they could not handle the mess on the forums, they'd simply close the forums.

I personally would do anything to the best of my ability to help clean up this mess, even if it meant seeing leaks and being told the entire storyline of Halo 2. Giving up something dear to me in hopes of preventing millions of others from losing that same thing is, to me, well worth it.

Wow... funny how things you type online seem more epic than if you were to say them in real life? :-P

None taken... but... Abuse from me? I wouldn't abuse my powers... just enjoy them... until they lead to despair and further intolerance for spam. But I'd never abuse them. That's a cruel thing to do. Bad choice, maybe (not that I've been chosen)... but no abuse of power.

I think that he meant me. What he said has been nagging on me- I've thought about this before, long and hard. In fact, if anything I'd be afraid to use those powers. The feeling that I affect the forum process is petrifying. If I did one thing wrong, I'd have so many people looking to me.

HA! Barron lacks the balls to get the job done! Rip-Saw for mod 2004! >=)

These presidential campaign ads are really getting to me... Maybe I should go all out...

My opponent, Banshee Barron, has stated several times that he lacks the resolve to get the job done. So I ask, could you trust him to go after trolls should they choose to attack? Or will he just sit back, afraid to use the resources available to him, waiting for someone else to take action? Let’s look at his record:
1. Banshee Barron started off as a (word I can’t use).
2. Banshee Barron is a grammar (word that is blamed) in his chapter to the point of being mean. Would that follow onto the forums?
3. Banshee Barron has spread lies and rumors about the yellow banshee for years, and to this day, millions are still confused as to the truth.
4. Banshee Barron once held the title of “Poop of Tru7h” at a popular chapter here on Bugnie.net. Was he being a poop-head?

Well “my friends” (to quote a once great man), when you go to vote this November 9, remember who has always oppressed the bad people (me) and who has always done that bad stuff (him).

I personally feel that it may be potentially beneficial to try closing the New Mombasa down for a day or so just to see what would happen. This may or may not discourage the users that post leaked info, either way it could be effective enough to convince some would be leakers that they shouldn't do it. The idea of Emergency Mods is a good one, but maybe not fully fledged Forum Ninjas, instead what about bestowing a few select users with the power to lock a thread, and snip a post but not ban or blacklist. This way there would be a limit to how much those users could abuse that power and it would help to control the problem taking place in New Mombasa.

I actually meant Recon and the other guy (exception means apart from) Hey I thought you said you would stay off this site? I guess you changed your mind?

Nothing but wernt you involved with that NMSF thing/crap/whatever a while ago?

Maybe abuse is the wrong word. I think you would more likely make a msitake and become too involved with a bad thread.

Please..Just because a mod doesn't participate in threads doesn't mean the mod is inactive. Come ON! It really annoys me when someone thinks one of our mods is inactive because they don't interact with forum users...We're just too busy.
