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?

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

This seems inappropriate for the Community Forum.

I agree. I hate carpet bans, but this is necessary. Just end this already.

No carpet bans. Carpet bans are bad. How about locking threads and banning people who are posting leaks?

I support this, the Flood is out of control. Even if a few innocent people get banned, it's for the greater good.

Report and move on. Don't post.

[/quote] i agree that i am against them as well, but how else to prevent people from bumping what is obvious? we all have to do things that we dont like and this is one of those time, hell im even suggesting it. ive been in a few carpet bans while providing correct info to the OP. yorkie

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheSpiderChief I concur. A carpet ban or two would do some justice and perhaps send out a message.[/quote]

The culprits have been banned! This mess is being cleaned up as we speak. [Edited on 10.14.2012 4:24 PM PDT]

I have to admit I got but hurt to the point i recommended temporary death of the flood and locking the post rights of all normal members....
-
I would be banned if there's a flood-wide ban, too, but i don't care. We need damage control NOW.

[/quote] If you post in a rule breaking thread you're keeping it on top of the forum for everyone to see. There's no reason that thread should have been preserved that long. It just stayed up longer to spoil it for more people. Such a shame posters don't understand this.

absolutely not. carpet bans are -blam!- stupid their punishing people who do nothing.

It looks like the Flood is being cleansed. The carpet bans have been issued (took your sweet time didn't you Bungie/Ninja's?).

But I stayed away from posting in those damn threads. These idiots who were bumping the thread should have realised that they were enhancing the progression of the thread.

that is it mods, i am calling you guys out. I don't care what happens. You have done a -blam!- horrible job at damage control. Locking the thread and banning the user is not enough when the spoiler is the the title. You guys need to step the -blam!- up. I am disappointed in your lack of control. there is nothing you can do about the user names, but you can sure as hell change the title of the thread

I think that making a thread in response to spam attacks should warrant a ban. Because nobody's going to go, "Oh, wait... [b]don't[/b] reply? Y'know... that's a pretty novel idea. I'm going to go ahead and... what'd you say... [b]not[/b] reply? Is that what it's called? I'll try that out."
