Sure is cool to jump on the bandwagon, eh? Your post was irrelevant to the topic and served the sole purpose of instigating conflicts.

Your post was deleted because it was spam. Don't even start with the "Staff abusing their rights" crap.

Yeah tural basically removes anything with an opinion in it. I posted something about if the community thinks the moding community is closer or further apart then it was a year ago and their thoughts on these secret societies keeping information from the public. And he removed it. For a second I thought I was at www.hitlermods.com Then I realized I actually was :P

An objective viewpoint. You weren't doing anything wrong completely ignoring the discussion about the content and then trolling by calling out the people doing it. Obviously.

So Shadow LAG, since I'm doing it solely to abuse powers, tell me that it doesn't break any rules and is relevant to that topic. Tell me that, right now. You can't. Well, I suppose you could, but it would just be an ignorant lie.

Uh no. I named no one and trolled nowhere. I don't even see how you could say that. I was asking for the communities opinion on it.
Besides tural I don't think we are on the same page I am talking about me not leo.

Maybe they want to keep the information private because every time someone releases something that's unfinished or sloppy, everyone fucking bitches about it not being perfect and says that they only released it to say they were the first. I'd rather wait to get a finished product than get a thousand betas with extremely minuscule improvements each time.

You completely ignored the stickied topic where people were talking about it, you went out of your way to start a new discussion in an attempt to publicize the people doing it, while not giving them any opportunity to explain themselves. On top of that, you claimed they gave no reasons for keeping it secret, which is a flat-out lie. Kornman gave a specific reason for why he wasn't releasing the information, you said the reason was secret. That was a lie and you were using it to create a topic with the intention of calling them out into a new thread.

Another lie. You said "Yeah," you were agreeing with his point. You were talking about him.

Well see now that would be a just viewpoint under my topic but it never went that far. Besides its finished dude. The sole reason from the person I talked to is "It can be used for cheating" and we all know how just plain stupid and retarded that excuse is. Also the next reason was "the community needs to work for something for a change" as if discluding ones self from the community. All these are illogical statements.

1. EVERYTHING can be used for cheating, this is nothing new if we though like this back in halo 2 saying resigning maps and moding programs could be used for cheating halomods wouldn't exist.

2. If everyone apart of the halomods community made something. Then they could simply use the same arguement "The community needs to work for itself" So anyone making a discovery would then cut them selves off as a individual.

I know people would like to think their is just reasons behind why people keep shit under wraps but unfortunately from what I heard from one of the individuals I talked to that has this ability to mod. Said He actually thinks its kinda funny that hes the only one that can mod. Opinions are being shut off. Noobys are being degraded, the moding community has turned into a pack of wolves ready to tear each others heads off and to protect their own meat instead of sharing with everyone else. This isn't the halomods I remember I am sad to say.

Those were relevant to other posts which were part of the discussion. Your post was completely abstract and not relevant to the topic discussion. I related his post to the topic, you just posted a random post without any importance to the topic.

Have any better examples? Well, whatever. There you go, I removed my "spam" post.

And Shadow LAG, if you're angry with those people, talk to them. The way to accomplish something is not to make a new topic, citing false information, and now calling the reasons retarded. You're using me as a vent for your frustration towards other people. Your topic was removed on solid reasoning. If you'd like to rework it and make it less one-sided, feel free.

Thats the thing tural. I never took aside I left it up to the community to decide that which makes it a discussion. I posed more questions then statements so how could I be one sided? I asked for community thoughts. And there was no false information. I would like to see you quote something that I have lied about?

Also as far as "congratulations" and "welcome to halomods" I see no difference. Both seemed equally the same relevant or not. Leo felt like contributing his thoughts to the above post, as did you. Is it your job to decide which is better a blue dress or red dress? I find it very... Illogical and really based off ones own opinion.

Take this elsewhere, either PMs or IMs.

You are both in the wrong here. You both can show your maturity by solving this in other ways other than pointless arguments that won't get you anywhere.

For now, no more here. You're filling this topic with personal disputes, not rants. Any more posts on this subject after my post will be removed.

It really pisses me off how so many kids today are spoiled. So my screen on my iPod has some pixelation due to some scratching. A kid on my bus saw it, and he's like "Hey man, you should get a new one." Yeah, so I'll be like the rest of you and bitch to my parents or rich relatives for money? I've been saving for two months to get a new iPod, and due to some dumb luck, I'm to $80 out of $300. I'm going to ask for less stuff for christmas (my desires have been less and less, and now they're just for certain things) and ask for support (gift cards, checks, whatever) to help me buy the new iPod. I also know I sound like a jackass saying "Don't give me presents, just give me money," but I want something new that badly. My current iPod is a 1st Generation, 4 gig nano, and I yearn for something more.

Back to the kids on my bus, all of them have either the second-newest iPod nano or some other kind more recent than mine. And they're all getting the newest models like two months after they come out. Even my best friend, who is in sort of the same situation as me, has a video iPod with a screen stronger that a doily.

Being an atheist sucks as well. There's no religious event (things like CHristmas and crap like that doesn't count, those are just traditions) like first communion (presents galore) or a Bar Mitzvah (holy shit, my friend got like three thousand bucks on his). I feel left out.

I agreed with you until you complained about holidays or lack thereof you get for believing in what you choose to believe. What would you celebrate? Unless of course its just for a few days off ;p
