I think some people just like conflict.

I personally believe that 25 guys running a site visited by anywhere up to two million people is pretty impressive. I think they do a great job. That being said, there are improvements that could be made, as we are none of us perfect. We also have a few members who could use a lesson in maturity and common sense, but what are you going to do? I'm gonna go eat a sandwich, but that's just me.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Just for the record, such "dramatic" posts don't amount to much. One less member isn't really much more than that.

Perhaps a better course of action would be to suggest changes, rather than point out flaws...

The point he was making was that whenever anyone makes a point, whatever the topic, they're immediately jumped on and instantly derided by people who think the light shines out of yours and Pezza's arse. Which, strangely enough, never happens when someone with another colour text posts.


Hey, don't bring me into it, I don't even know where I am.

Honestly though, people need to stop being drama queens about this. Shai was making valid points, but simply saying "the mods suck I'm leaving" proves nothing.

And if Bungie.net was as fascist and totalitarian as everyone claims it is, how com half the moderators themselves often make public their grievances with the issues on the forums? Need I remind you of the H3 beta or the playlist changes?

We lock stuff because it is violating a set of rules, not because we think a revolution willl develop behind it if we don't quell the free thinkers. I wish we could just have a single thread in here saying "The mods suck, post reasons here!" so it would take up less room. I'm in the mood for a scone.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Exactly! Just obey the rules and post and keep it clean. Yes an idiot will come along but that is wht the mods take care of. Mods just do thier jobs. If you have such an issue take it up with Achronos and see if you don't get shunned or even Blacklisted.

Thanks for cleaning that up Pezza.

Pezza and BobBQ are thrice the member you'll ever be. If anything, they should be revered, not insulted...

I find that post too lengthy to even consider ignoring. Instead, I jump in my time machine so I quite literally never see it again...

Because Alex's head is big enough.

And Pezza: I wasn't bringing you into it, i was bringing the flock of morons who quote your every word with sentences like "Thanks for clearing that up" and "I agree" after it. It gets right on my tits, almost as much as that flashin' avatar of yours.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

-50 points for using 'revere' and 'Pezza' in the same sentence.

(On topic:) I don't think I've ever seen anyone blacklisted only for arguing. And I've only seen a few locked threads that I questioned, but those aren't even the same threads you're brought up. Also, if you want to try to make this argument, you should give links to the threads in question. As is stands now, it looks like you're just over reacting, or maybe even making stuff up.

Because you have no scruples. Come on! You walked right into that, try to make it harder next time.

And there will be no more insulting of elmicker. None.

Oh ,and Pezza, glad you showed up to clear it up and make everything better, p.s. you're avatar is so freakin awesome.

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.

This is Bungie's domain, so if you don't like it you can make a suggestion. And Bungie is practically the only one that even listens to suggestions made by members of the community. So I fail to see how they are facists. Saying the mods are a bunch of self-centered bullys is ridiculous. It is one of the hardest jobs to decide whether the crap we talk about is appropriate or not. And in the end if they lock a thread you think shouldn't be locked you even have the option of PMing Achronos about the situation! Bungie goes through so many checks and balances to keep things fair around here so I really don't understand how someone can say they are going to leave because of how "unfair" the mods are.
