Among its rules, Bungie has stated that no one is allowed to make posts directed at individual Bungie users. Yet stuff like this gets by:


^^^Your mom's a whore for you not agreeing with my theory. and hey it's better than all the other replicas of the sprint and shield bull-blam!-! so F U, and this is g*y anyways.^^



If that doesn't qualify as directed, than what the heck does? You can't exactly follow forum rules if you don't understand them.

"Directed to" as in: you can't make threads directed to/about individuals. If we couldn't make posts directed to someone, we really can't discuss things, can we?

The example you have given is nothing but a flame, and should have been reported to mod. We can't see everything, we and we need YOU to help us out.

That last sentence is directed to people in general.

You probably should have said threads then, rather than posts.

By the way if you're wondering where that post was:

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

JAF didn't write the damn thing.

Edit: Ah, now I see what's wrong. You've encountered your first "your mom" joke, even if it was a bad one. There will be many more "your mom" jokes in your future, so just shrug em off and fire back.

Also: This place isn't a chat site. We can't have people making posts to one another in a thread.

Example:

Member one: Wow. I'm bored.
Member two: Yeah so am I.
Member three: this thread is about Halo 3 weapons...
Member one: Whatever. So did you see that movie last night, number 2?
Member two: Yeah, I did.

As you can see, one and two are directing posts at each other and are clearly in the wrong.

Used to occur a lot. All it takes is one off-topic post to turn it into a chat room.

Not that I mind it that much, because it doesn't happen as often. But there was a time where every thread became a back-and-forth conversation between two people. 'Twas very annoying.

And about the topic, I've always interpreted that Rule to mean "Don't make threads about other people." Even threads that compliment said individual. It would get messy if that kind of thing was allowed.

the f, c, u, k letters are on my keyboard along with all the other letters

i will use them in whatever order i want to

They want to keep that stuff off the main forum. There's a reason for the private messaging system, you know.

Actually, it wasn't directed at me, and I've seen others. I was about to post a thread challenging someone for... certain... intolerable crimes (no flaming mind you), but then I saw the "directed" rule. Then I saw this, and I had to ask myself, "if flaming like this passes, then what doesn't?" But yeah, I guess no one informed Bungie is all.
