i really hate to suggest this but??? carpet ban???

in the flood there is a user that is posting the leaks of halo 4 in the title and then bragging he is spoiling it. for the people that are posting to it can there be a carpet ban in place for it? my reason for asking this is because it it posting to spam and with each bump it is allowing people that dont want to see this stuff at that top of the forum. i know some people are posting legit stuff in it but they know they shouldnt be. does this seem fair to everyone? this isnt ment to stop people from making the threads, this is to prevent people from bumping the threads. for an example. if you look in this forum you will see an act of what i am talking about we have users that are posting in a thread that the OP has been banned in. you cant see whats in the OP so what is the point of posting about it? you are only drawing attention so that it stay at the top of the forums so people are continuing to see it. OK NOW THAT THE CARPET BANS ARE IN. do you agree that this was the correct thing to do? what are your reasons and why do you have these reasons? yorkie [Edited on 10.14.2012 4:28 PM PDT]

  • I concur. A carpet ban or two would do some justice and perhaps send out a message.

  • no please don't because I posted in one after I realized what he had done out of anger, please don't ban me. I am trying to fix this as well

  • Agreed. Carpet bans for everyone who posts in spoiler threads. Even the "report and move on" people.

  • Ah, it must be Sunday night. That was quick. OT: Yes a carpet ban sounds lovely. [Edited on 10.14.2012 4:01 PM PDT]

Can you not understand my anger coming home from vacation and having my all time favorite game series spoiled for me? I meant nothing by it, I repent

  • I honestly would suggest just shutting the Flood down at this point. They'll only get worse. It was only a matter of time before the spoilers showed up in the user names.

  • I don't think carpet bans should ever be the default bans for situations like this. Just stay out of The Flood if you don't want to be spoiled. Better yet, you can just go dark in general. It's the safest option to stay spoiler free.

  • You people act like this is a new phenomenon. There will always be trolls out there posting information prior to game releases to mess with the masses. Like I said before, use common sense on what you are clicking. If you see a title that looks compromising, don't click it.

Otherwise, yeah, the only safe place is offline.

  • That's why a few members decided to go dark as this kinda thing was going to happen.

I just used the example you used in the OP. Nonetheless, The Flood is still the hot spot for spoilers for games this close to launch. Going dark is the best way for [i]anyone[/i] to stay spoiler free.

  • How about don't overreact because someone was "clever" enough to make alts and spam like a douche?
