How do we let bs angel know...

...that Waypoint is an intolerable hellhole, and things [u][b]must[/u][/b] change if they want to accommodate the full scope of the Halo community? No matter how "good" Halo on Xbox One is, Halo Waypoint will never be able to successfully take in nearly as many factions of this community that Bungie was able to cater to, which in my opinion was STILL not enough. Look, I know time and time again #Gaming is spent talking about Halo, Halo 4, Waypoint, 343i, and so on so forth way too excessively, but something seriously needs to be done about the inaccessible Waypoint community and website, and I think it's time action is taken. We need change. [quote][/quote][b][u]Update:[/b][/u] Before I head to bed, let it be known that I plan on making an official, well-written petition tomorrow. I'll contact a large multiple of users before publishing it. It's the best way we're going to let this issue be known, an issue that is unanimously agreed upon within the Halo community at large, not just on BNET.

    I frequent Waypoint a lot and I agree that there should be some changes. The layout, as it is, isn't very good. Bungie.net's layout have spoiled me for Internet forums everywhere. When it comes to something like moderation, I've been on the side of the banhammer before and it does suck. That said, I don't have as big of a problem with it as others do. Saying THAT, however, I do think a bit more uniformity on rules may help. Two example that spring to my mind regard a thread that came up after Brian Reed was promoted lead writer and the current thread discussing the Escalation comic. The Reed one ultimately came down to bans and warnings for "calling out" Reed despite the thread being up for quite a while and the Escalation one has had problems with what counts as leaks in regards to summaries of unreleased issues of the comics. Ultimately I understand why bans and warnings were issued, but I can't say I always agree with moderator decisions. I think we have to remember that the mods are just people though. Folks on Bungie.net love to talk about how awesome the mods are here, but they didn't always act as such. I've actually come to know a few of the Waypoint mods and play Halo and other games with them and they aren't terrible people. If moderating practices on Waypoint needs to change, I think the attitude of community members towards the mods should change as well. You don't have to kiss their asses, just act mature. Is that a reasonable idea or no?
