I hate everything, but it's not my fault.
Oh jeeze, this topic again.

I remeber the days when I could say in the forums what was on my mind. No flaming, and no trolling. I would have people who agreed with me, and people who would disagreed with me. Thats what forums are all about.
Those days still exist if you aren't flaming. The good old days are an illusion caused by selective memory. Unfortunately, many people seem incapable of not flaming, so I have to hand out blacklists to keep the peace.
1. You will never under any circumstances disagree with Bungie.
Have you seen the Halo forums? Half of the entire forum freaking hates Bungie, and Optimatch is nothing but complaining. And yet the entire forum is not locked...I wonder why?
2. You will never under any circumstance be anything but a total pawn of Achronos.
Which is, of course, why I and many other members have disagreed with him. Some people are tools, but considering his position, Achronos is almost obscenely nice. Try looking at some of his posts in the Halo forums. Hey look! Disagreement!
3. You will never under any circumstance challenge a moderator or disagree with one, because they are always right and you pathetic members are inferior
Do have anything at all to back this up in any way? People disagree with me all the time. They are not blacklisted. I have never seen another moderator say anything like that.
Things really hit rock bottom when Shishka left. He understood the balance between strictness and "live and let live".
That's funny, because while he was still a moderator people disliked him because they thought he was too much of a hardass.
Now, many, NOT ALL, but many of the moderators will now just see a thread that has even the slightest problem with it, and they'll lock it; because they can.
Or because they think it violates the rules? Please provide some evidence, or stop insulting us with forum-drama conjecture.
So when I say that im leaving the Bungie.net forums Im not going to get alot of "Oh, well miss you," like he did. But he was right. The moderators have become to strict. Achronos and the rest of the on-line team has forgotten that this once wonderful Community is about the members, not about the people in charge.
As has been mentioned earlier, there have been a lot of idiots around, so keeping order is more difficult. Wouldn't it benefit me more if I just stopped caring about the rules and let everything be? Then I wouldn't have to bother clicking the Lock button or anything. And please, show me a thread that you think shouldn't have been locked and/or was only locked because of some sort of stupid powertrip. In fact, any time you think I made a mistake, please PM me.

I just think moderators have to much of a personality on the forums, acting like celebs or some thing. Not all of them are like this though, I will always have the upmost respect for stosh, Yoozel, GJJ, and a few others, but a bunch of the mods I just read their posts and shake my head.
So we're in trouble if we only lurk, and we're also in trouble if we post and show a personality? Sounds like we're in a tight spot.
That being said, egotistical behavior is not good.
