would an annoying way to fix this problem be to make us login with our cd hash?

You know what?? im done with this place. you can all have fun in your constantly spammed, and get you freedom on the fourms lowered everyday. I mean whats next? avatars? come on.

uhhh we already lost custom avatars a long time ago supposedly, i heard at one stage we could have custom ones

The forum never allowed custom avatars. The avatar upload section was turned off and then removed because it was insecure and could be exploited.

my mistake then, i must have heard wrong xP

So...you are leaving?? WOOHOO!Just joking :)

Yeah, topic locking would be cool, but would that mean that the creator would be able to continue posting on their topic?

What is Donation Ban, anyway?

When people donate money to the site and tell who they want to get banned and the virtual money gets put on their head, like a virtual bounty and by the end of it, whoever has the most money on their head gets permabanned.

Ditto.

We should start a perition for it.

Oh my the drama... It's a game forum for kids. What do you expect? I opened it for ANYONE who wants to play or make maps for Halo CE regardless of age. That is why I have the cardinal rules that include no profanity. If the forum no longer suits your interests then that is fine and normal. There is no drama to be had about it.

:/ I don't think it requires banning. I already received my warning and am now trying to be a good boy. The only thing I wish there was here was common courtesy for the map-makers. I have never released anything, never plan to release anything, and probably never will. I am here because I love Halo CE, and I want to be up to date on the projects going on for it. But, honestly, all the people derailing threads and such are quite annoying, and the lack of courtesy for the map-makers (even though some are quite arrogant at times) is quit obnoxious. I think that what Dennis means is that he's not going to go all fascist on us, but, for gods-sakes, try to be courteous to other people.

I am almost 100% sure that it is not little kids.

Well, your a little kid, are you not?
I think we should be able to lock our own topic.

dennis wont allow non-uxb employee-people to moderate

Game ratings are guidelines not a hard fast rules. They are there to help parents make the decision to allow or not allow their children to play or not to play. It is the individual parents decision not the government's as to what video game you are allowed to play.
That is correct.

I have quit spamming.

Try to understand what people are saying before you go quote posting k?



I think these are all great ideas. New users shouldn't be able to post pictures for a little while because generally if someone just joined a community, they don't have anything to show anyways and probably will not miss the feature.

I am not going to re-design the Forum or put in special stuff because you all can't control yourselves.

The answer is much more simple but apparently very had for you to get; Just stop posting so many image spam as a response to something and type instead. All the other stuff you want, vote ban, number of images per post, no images until posting X times is more of a limit than what I am asking you to do and if you can't control yourselves then I just remove image posting or shut down the forum.

Simple really: Don't worry about what anyone else does, just worry about yourself and stop posting image spam. Why is this so hard to understand?

If image posting is removed, we can always post links to images. In fact, I like that better because of the fact that when an image is posted, it can make the actual page itself wide forcing us to scroll across to read someone else's message if they did not format it correctly.

I would.
Not Expensive! You have no idea. Go out and price what it costs to have the bandwidth for over 9,000GB of transfer a month with burst speeds exceeding 60Mbit/sec then tell me if you think it isn’t expensive.

Your opinions are miss-informed and based on incomplete information or experiences.

While opinions cannot actually be incorrect the assumptions you made to arrive at them most certainly are.

The Barron has a voice to be heard and listened to.

there are many ways to deal with these immature people.

1) use the "responsible awards" someone behaves well... award them.

2) just ban the people who are doing this.

3) talk to them about what they did wrong and how they can fix it

4) use some kind of privilege reduction system for people who behave immature

5) (my personal favorite) allow The Barron to put on his verbal slapping glove and teach the people a lesson and make there life on halomaps forum as miserable as possible. the pain of the verbal harassment would last for two weeks. if they commit the "crime" again. allow me to dish out the pain on them with my great vocabulary of hurtful words and phrases. i would enjoy this option so much.

6) (probably the best option) stick with you feelings. this is your forum(s). do what ever you feel is needed to stop this nonsense. your a person with a great mind. i believe the best solution is the one your going to make... not the ones that others make.

thats just what i think.

as much as these options appeal well with me, especially option 5 (but please, allow me xP ) I dont think they would be applicable / just dont work here for ethical reasons (?) but i feel they are overall good ideas

EDIT: ah yes i also forgot that it could be a real pain to implement and/or its just alot of work that probably does not need to be done, in the first place
Edited by Dhark on Jul 5, 2008 at 01:53 AM

in my opinion as i stated above. i think dennis would make the best choice.

Dennis got a question...

is it possible to ban somone from downloading maps from halomaps?
