Just read the rules my bad guys wasnt a negative post just advice on what went wrong and caused people to leave but I did just read rules and 343 does not allow any negative talk about halo

For starters, there was never free speech on here, on Bungie or on most website forums unless there are no rules or you own the site which you don’t. They do allow negative criticism as long as it’s constructive which the majority of your post wasn’t. Calling things garbage isn’t constructive criticism. Lastly, discussing mod decisions isn’t allowed publicly which is mentioned in the rules.

If you actually read my post history, you would see that I gave plenty of criticism to 343 and I also didn’t say you were telling the truth either. There could be improvements, but I don’t think it’s garbage. Don’t worry, I hardly use the AR in my main Arena playlists, but I’ll still have fun despite you trying to use that as an insult. :wink:

Can’t say I read your other post, but have to say I fully agree with Luke.
And I don’t think he was ‘white knighting’.

Please consider the following:

  • This is a website run by 343. What do you expect? Do you expect them to allow a ton of people to crap on them without any shred of respect? If you ran a company with a product you wanted to sell, don’t you think you would want your own website under your control? - I’ve voiced dozens of posts where I criticize things in the game, but I do so in a respectful way, and usually try to offer solutions. - If you want to continue to break the rules, I’m sure that eventually you will be banned. Then you can join the ever growing list of other people who have been banned, talking on all of those other social media outlets you mentioned. If you care about the game and want your voice to be heard on the official forums - do it nicely, and follow the rules. You’re still allowed to be angry, you’re still allowed to offer your criticisms, just do it smartly. I think being respectful goes a long way in these things - and for life in general.


All right, first of all if one of your posts was moderated it’s because you broke the rules. Nothing else. Freedom of speech is the idea that the government won’t fine you or jail you for most forms of speech (Note I said Most.) What it isn’t is freedom from consequence for what you say or what you do. This is a privately hosted website and it has rules (linked in my signature if you need a refresher). Violating those rules will have consequences. You’ve essentially come into someone else’s house and they’ve told you what behavior they expect of you. If you can’t abide by that you will be shown the door.
