I dont know If I am the only one that noticed but there have been growing tensions between New Mombasa and The Flood....I know forum wars are stupid and I agree....I am just stating that mabey something should be done to prevent each forum getting littred with spam and flames..........mabey its not that big of deal but I think it would just be better to put a stop to it now before each forum is up in locked posts and blacklistings.....

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

I don't think anything should be done to ease tensions. Everyone knows that participation in a forum war equals banishment. So if any idiot decides to get caught up in one they will be purged. If I was a mod I would secretly want a forum war to break out because then it will be easy to purge B.net of many idiots at once.

...I'm not sure....it would also end up with lots of locked threads and it would take some time for each forum to recover(if a major war happens that is).....I dont think it should happen at all.....

Ehhh, every forum gets a lot of spam every once and a while. It would suck to have all those locked threads, but B.net would recover quickly as always. I wouldn't see it as a major war, I would see it as The Great Idiot Purge.

...I still dont like the idea....check the flood and new mombasa every day and you will see some threads already trying to incite a war.....

I hope there is a war. So I can just hang out on the side, and watch as dozens of idiots wash themselves away from the Bungie.net gene pool. Kinda like the Darwin Awards!

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

SOmthing should be done?


Just ban the offenders of the rules.

Thats all that will work. Asking people to stop or trying to make peace wont work. Alls some people understand is force.

So lets the mods tale the gloves off and handle things the Chuck Norris way.

Anyone who decides to lead some sort of half-assed raid on another forum will be banned, especially since the only way to "take over" another forum is to spam it.

Such stupidity won't be tolerated.

Well if it is a smart member that lost it for a second they can get a temp ban. And I just remembered that mods have the ability to delete threads so the forum would be completely purged and clean very quickly.

I honestly don't see how somebody can even wage a forum war nowadays.. theres a impenetrable spam filter, and any dicking around is already quite harshly punished already.

I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

I can't believe it, New Mombasa leaves, and now the Flood needs a new underling to pick on :P

The mods are well aware of it. Every invasion was handled pretty quickly, so I'm not worried about it at all.

How dumb do you have to be to work your way into a frame of mind that would make you think "attacking" or "warring" upon a forum is a fun thing to do? I mean, let's be cereal here...

The Flood needs a new underling to pick on? Please. I remember topics such as "the flood sucks" in the flood forum, but I don't remember any corresponding topics in New Mombassa. All I can remember in New Mombassa is the regular (albeit stupid) spam it normally recieves.

Chapter

Narwhallace Smithington: Gone, but not forgotten. Never approve of anything lil guy. <3
Furious George: The new -blam!-

It's not you who has been posting instigating threads. Someone in your group yesterday went into The Flood saying "Accept our challenge, New Mombasa will destroy you!" Granted, I don't think it's rude or trolling or anything (it can come across that way to some members, I suppose), it sounded to me like some little kid trying to sound like a Super Villain. Just keep tabs on your people, I suppose.

I'm not going to worry about it. The boys in white can take care of it.

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

Perhaps if we stop feeding the morons the attention they need to survive, they'll stop? Better yet, let the forum war happen. The fools will participate and be banned. The more desirable members will remain. Anyone remember how nice The Flood was after the 40 or so were banned for the quote pyramid? I do. It was swell.

My personal opinion is to let them have their war for a while and then have the Mods raid them.

Are you sure? You never know, the Flood could have a nuke to drop on New Mombassa.
