Not to question authority, but I have a question. Why restrict the people for this specific site to only one topic for Halo/Halo 3? As far as I read, the moderator simply did that because he was tired of seeing so many topics. Well, not to be rude, but that's not our problem. You're a moderator. From my own moderating experiences and from the whole idea of conduct, moderators are supposed to keep the peace and stop spam and flamming. But cutting off a source of debate that is sometimes logical is completely pointless. If it's the flaming and things you're sick of, then delete those replies. But by all means, that post you made was just the same kind of complaining that people do in the Halo threads. So, in short, Nephilim, don't restrict the people who can help add useful information. Putting it all into one thread would be even more confusion and chaos because of the multiple topics of discussion that would go on at once. If it calms your soul, then delete the pointless replies. You can't shut the public up because they annoy you. That's even more childish than the petty insults that are thrown in the threads. So I don't mean offense, but I have to voice my opinion. Shut me up if you want. But don't do it just because this annoys you.

I think you are both right.

There were way too many Halo threads, many of them very similar, but I think that it is very hard to collaborate information in an organised way in one massive Halo thread. There are many aspects of Halo 2/3 that people want to talk about (eg. storyline, realease dates, new weapons, characters etc.) and I think that a few more Halo threads should be allowed as long as they are dedicated to a specific area of Halo that no other threads are about.

Because there were 18 separate threads for Halo.

Damn right and I wasn't the only one.

You're right. It's my problem to deal with and I took care of it.

Good for you but this is AD, not whatever site you moderated.

Whatever that means. I didn't cut anything off - I consolidated.

I do delete them.

Your entire post is one big hypocritical complaint . You all have your dedicated Halo thread so you can chat away about it without inundating the entire forum with redundant Halo threads.

I never did. I made one place to find all the information.

So you think 18 redundant threads are less confusing? I think not.

Quote:

As I recall I'm the Moderator here so I make the calls not you.

Quote:

Another drama queen statement. I DIDN'T SHUT ANYONE UP. I CONSOLIDATED TO ONE THREAD. IS THAT TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

Quote:

You really have no clue.

If you have a problem with something I'm doing then pm either dRD or ketola about it. Don't start some stupid complaint thread that has nothing to do with the forum topic.

You'll have to try alot harder than that to offend me and I'll reiterate - you voiced your opinion in a completely inappropriate manner.

Quote:
Shut me up if you want.
Very tempting at this point.

Thanks again for trying to tell me what I can and can't do. Too bad it's in vain.



Let me make something crystal clear for you - if you have a problem with something I've done take it up with the Admins. If you start another off topic complaint thread like this I will deactivate you.
