its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

I've been very disappointed how the forums sucked lately, so I wrote this little account of my Bungie life. It explains things that I've learned about Bungie.net, which many of you phail at. To sum it up uber-fast for the "I-want-a-preview-before-I-read" type of person, it explains what evolution is. *hint hint*
Okay, for real, these are my personal accounts.
(PS: Read the whole thing, it may seem like a biography, but every story has a lesson...)
(PSS: If a moderator feels this is lock worthy, please allow me to repost, without the chronicle gibberish)
______________________
I used to be rebel, I followed people like "ferret" as a role model for Pete sakes. I've been blacklisted a few times, got into flame wars, made silly threads, and also hated the moderators, which also got me blacklisted. But as the months passed...I still sucked, but it was about to change...
*dramatic theme music*
I began to be a fourm cop. It started when I learned there were going to be new moderators. I stumbled into HFCS and found the list to be 23. As any member like me would do, I was thinking "OMG". Then went to post it on the forums. It got locked and edited, and dmbfan messaged me to be hush hush. I was actully thinking, and I quote myself, OMG I AM THE PROTECTOR OF THE SECRET!
But this little secret also got to Iceman Assassin. He was more like me then, kinda rebelish, a very young and new member. Nothing like the one known today. He messaged me, or I messaged him, who knows. But we were like, OMG, what do we do! It was later agreed we would keep it hush hush also. Little did we know, many, if not hundreds knew this already, but us being the people we were, we felt extremely special. We felt like "the moderators right hand man" or like I said above, "The Protectors of the secret." This is where I end this story. Guess what happened afterwards...
We both began our quest to be the best B.net member we can be...
Iceman was more successful, thus the Iceman you know now, began. I sucked at it. I was an ass-kisser.
>>>!!!The Lesson!!!<<<
This account of my experiences as a member proves one thing. Forum-Copping isn't about ass-kissing to the moderators. But it is a by-product. If your a forum cop, and you get carried away by getting the "I can get the white text" thought etched in your mind, which I did, you'll fail. You'll just come out as a wanna-be. Forum copping starts when you get an experience in which you feel, "close" to the moderators or the forums. When you feel "Hey, helping the moderators and/or the forum isn't so hard," is when forum copping starts. It isn't bad, it's how it ends. Iceman, so far, has done a better job at that, which explains his success(But he is slipping, which is true. Which explains the heated arguments I read lately about him) But to sum it up, he didn't get carried away as I did. It's just a lesson you all need to learn.
If didn't get what I'm saying, Mabian put it in English.

I think Raven's lesson is twofold, though he only actually has one lesson. It seems that one goes to the community, and one goes to other Forum Cops.
I think Raven is trying to tell the community that just because someone is helpful does not mean that that person is trying to become a moderator. Some people try to inform other members of the rules in order to look good, and some people try to inform other members because they feel those members need some guidance.
I think Raven is trying to tell the other Forum Cops that it is pointless to go around and be a "Forum Cop" in order to be recognized.
