An important matter in the community: FORGEGATE

<mark>Do not call out individuals.</mark>

SUMMARY AT THE BOTTOM-
343 has roughly 20 people known as cartographers who are the mouthpieces of the forge community when it comes to the forge aspect of things. The mouthpiece of the Grifball community is Nokyard and the mouth piece of the race community is Ducain 23 (even though race isn’t in halo 5). However, a particular member of the cartographers (who I won’t name because I don’t want this locked) has abused his power, very, very much. The video that I have listed at the bottom summarizes the issue much better then I can on a simple forum post. What I believe though, is that we the community need the ability to impeach and control who becomes a cartographer, these people represent us to 343, why should they bad mouth other people in the community and be nothing but unbearably negative, and continue to represent us.
SUMMARY- we need the ablity to impeach forge cartographers who abuse their power and we need a say in who represents us to 343. Please watch the video for more explanation on what is being called the ForgeGate scandal. <mark>Link Removed by Monitor</mark>

Being a person who watched this earlier today, I’ll agree with the sentiment, despite not being a part of the Forge community (But loving Forge nonetheless.), yet I almost want to believe that FH might be a better place to find purchase in this endeavor.

I just want to spread the word around here because it’s already making its way in Forge Hub.

may you give me the gist of the video? and in case this topic gets closed, pm me. thanks.

I almost figured as much. Also, on second thought, considering that the CC group are the ones who dictate what maps we play in MM, I’d say this is relevant here.

I’m imagining a massive poll tourney (several brackets of polls, people vote on the maps they want, winners move on to next bracket.) that is comprised of a huge array of community-selected maps by everyone in various Halo 5 communities. I don’t know how huge of an undertaking something like that would be, but if done right, some primo maps would get selected and unknown Forgers would get some recognition.

EDIT: Even 343 has something to gain on this; if new creators are given recognition, then they develop their own following and continue bringing people back to places like FH and whatnot, it’ll extend the life of Halo 5 by having more content being given the limelight. More life in the game=more REQ money, because everyone needs some MM between a bunch of Customs.

A certain CC has abused his power and anybody who gets on his bad side strangely never ever gets anything featured on forge hub and they’re maps never get from getting their maps recognized by 343, this CC constricts the flow of maps going to 343 and he has been overwhelmingly negative toward s other members of the community, but I urge you to really watching the video.

This is a great way that Cartographers can be chosen as well, halo has this opportunity with forge to have an endless flow of maps and community made content.

Guaranteed cringe. And is that the music from Requiem For A Dream? Ugh. Whatever.

Oh yeah, that HFE thing went down too.

Anyone sent this to… IDK, who’s the CM at 343 now? Sounds like this system wasn’t the best idea.

Ha ha!
And if your asking who’s the community manager it’s bravo I believe.

I didn’t choose the music or the name, both are quite bad, but in all honesty, this needs to have some light shed on it.

Didn’t even notice there was music in that vid.

Relevant: I’d like to reiterate that this DOES affect everyone in the community. The people in question are directly responsible for the maps we all get in Matchmaking.

Yep. Gives impression of oligarcy.

But really, I wonder if Keemstar would take this story. Do you guys think the -Yoink- is petty enough?
