The Flood had some of the strictest rules of any forum I went to-- "no politics/religion" was the tip of the iceberg. [url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090203213919/http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=27309386]Here are the forum rules from 10ish years ago.[/url] Some blasts from the past: - no epic phail - no care cup - no leetspeak - no CoD4 vs Halo - no blogposting I think those rules did make discussion better, and these new ones are a good idea, though FWIW I also think the internet (including here) is a far kinder place today than it was 10 years ago.

    I believe RP's were also not allowed as they were "forum games". Oh, here's some beauties: [quote] Do not create "blog"-style posts unless they are part of a larger on-topic discussion. These topics do not encourage discussion and are therefore spam. What counts as a "blog"? A "blog" post is the original post in a new thread that merely relates a personal experience that another user can neither agree nor disagree with. In other words, it is a post that can result in nothing but other users "commenting" on that personal experience or relating similar personal experiences, rather than beginning a discussion.[/quote] [quote]What is "bumping"? "Bumping" is the act of posting in a thread solely to bring it back to the top of the forum. A general way to tell if your post is a bump is the following: if your reply is not an on-topic reply to another user's reply who posted after the last time that you did, your post is a bump. This is not an all-inclusive definition.[/quote] [quote]Parody or satire threads are a form of trolling.[/quote] And here's everyone's favorite: [quote]Any other post that does not contribute or encourage normal, intelligent, on-topic discussion as determined by any Bungie employee or moderator.[/quote]

  • Just goes to show how active the forums were then, that you could restrict that much content and still have a thriving community!
