They need to shut down Waypoint. Seriously 343 just move to Twitter and Facebook.
That or fire all your mods and administers and start over with a thicker skin.
The minute MCC releases people are going to flood your forums. And then what Ban them all again?
Piss off a chunk of new and returning fans who in turn will just branch out and run your name into the ground on Neogaf, YouTube, and IGN comment sections?
Waypoint's forums are basically a hate machine that produces ill will and negative feelings for the brand. Better to shut it down and just use it for stats and lore information like it used to be.
Let twitter handle the faceless mobs bitching about God knows what. Gravity will simply pull that nonsense under the tides of millions of comments to be forgotten.

That yes, they do run their forums extremely tightly, leaving no room for grey areas, but that this isn't a bad thing. Lord knows that fans get heated in their "love" for their favorite franchise and shit can easily turn bad very quickly. And yes, I'm aware of some dubious moderation. Even Bungie isn't free of that.

Edited by DEZARATH: 6/24/2014 3:18:23 PMFrom how Microsoft want to run its forums it's counter intuitive to their corporate culture to really have an open forum. Forum fans run the gambit from wanting to be 4chan to lackeys. You have to run your board a certain way to keep a balance between the two ends of the spectrum. Waypoint runs out everything on the prior that can be considered a harmful review on the branding. Well an entire generation wants to act like parrots for Enyclopedia Dramatica at all given times when on the Internet. Sooooo it's not like it's going to get any better from those gamers. They would be better served to kick everyone out and just head to twitter and release the standard affair corporations spew using that service. It's not like 343 employees actually post on their own forums and engage the users there as it is. It's a waste of time for everyone involved, whether they know it or not.
