I can’t post anything on these forums without getting my post removed. what is the definition of a contructive post? I’m really confused. I read all the rules, cut don’t understand if I voice an opinion which is what we are suposed to do in these forums then we get kicked off or our post yanked. Are we allowed to do or say anything on here anymore?
Can anyone give me any tips without insulting me please? I’m really trying, but am unable to say anyting on this forum at all. This post will prob be removed too. I this unconstructive as well?
I know I spelled CONSTRUCTIVE wrong - my “S” on my keyboard keeps messing up.
Take a look at the thread I posted. Thats a good example.
Ive lookd threw the intire enternets and I cant find the definition of contructive either.

my " S " button doesn’t work half the time. sorry
The last thread you made, shown below, was definitely not constructive.

There is nothing to discuss here and it is a waste of forum space. If you have questions about the update, then PM BS Angel herself.
Edited by Moderator - Please do not make nonconstructive posts.
*Original post, click at your own discretion.
Basically dont post anything with honesty, else itll get removed. Cuz in all likelihood your honesty/opinion will be negative towards 343, and thats all they’ve been hearing of late, and rightfully so. So instead of helpfully addressing your issues/concerns, theyll just block/remove your critique and concern cuz its easier. Yw
I’ve tried to pm someone before but they do not communicate with me, so I hope to get answers from posts. So what should I do?

Thanks, so is this post constructive? Or will this one be taken off as well?

That’s for the mods to decide.
A constructive post is one that seeks to get its point across without resorting to off-topic remarks of that point.
Once can easily relay their dislike/distaste of something in a rational way that does not involve inappropriate or hyperbole analogies. The choice of adding colour metaphors as adjectives and negative connotations to a point is choosing to be nonconstructive.
Rather than relaying and/or building a point, by use of off-point references, a post that is simply tossed around as means to vent, attack or cause dismay is nonconstructive.

ok, is this post nonconstructive then?

what does hyperbole mean?

Not necessarily. It was probably more suited as a PM to a moderator.
Just remember, it’s ok to have a an opinion. More often than not, it’s the antagonistic way in which an opinion is presented that gets people in trouble, not the opinion itself. So long as your post promotes discussion in a positive manner, you should be ok.

I don’t understand, I’ve tried to pm moderators and get no response exept a link to my post saying it’s unconstructive. So are you saying that if we post something negative on here we get banned? I’m just trying to understand the rules on here. I have read them, and trying to follow rules but it seems if we don’t agree with something that is not right abuot the game or waypoint we get kicked off of forums. I think this is constructive because a lot of people are getting booted from here for trying to give feedback to the company about what they like and don’t like about the game. That’s what we were told to do. But now all we are allowed to post are what’s good about the game. Please help clear this up for me and others on here. Again, I am not insulting anyone, just trying to get a more clear picture on how this forum works becsuse I have never seen anything like this before. I would just pm this to a moderator but nobody responds to me when I do. Thanks
Sweet, attack of the monitors!!! this is perfect actually now that there’s three of you, got your attention. Now maybe one of you guys can relay this to your superiors. In the spirit of being “constructive”, can one of you please ask for permission or request a 343i rep to directly participate in some of these more notable threads??? There’s several existing in excess of 50 pg’s and 100’s of favorites, regarding “skilled ranking” and “custom games”, you know what the massive ones are anyhow. All are screaming for “constructive” participation from 343 since day 1, and all have been neglected. It’d do wonders I promise, many thanks.
Ps. PM-ing them or msging them via twitter doesn’t garner a response either.

I should not have to sign up for twitter to get information. I will never sign up for that and it should’nt be required. I’m just trying to figure out what is constructive on here and what isn’t because it’s still not clear at all. This is so confusing.

It’s not WHAT you say but HOW you say it that matters. Plenty of people have posted “against” 343/Halo 4 (including some of the mods) but they aren’t banned. Why? Because they do so in a mature, polite, and respectful fashion without resorting to making outlandish accusations/statements that do nothing but provoke flame wars or negative discussion. And I don’t mean negative as in, “I think Halo 4 is bad and here’s why” but I mean negative as in doesn’t promote discussion in a healthy manner.

There are plenty of threads that discuss what someone may not like in a constructive manner which have not been locked. Again, it’s not the message, but manner in which it is conveyed that gets people in trouble. Know what I mean?
For example, this thread is constructive and promotes discussion. The user has described what he does like in a manner that is well thought out and he has provided reasoning behind his opinion. It is bereft of negative emotion and he does not chide others that have the opposite opinion as him.
So, it is possible to complain in a constructive manner and not get edited or banned. The forums are for discussion. Not for belligerently stating opinions as fact and attacking those that have different opinions.

I cannot speak for the other Monitors, but honestly, I don’t use twitter all that much, hence, I don’t include my hashtag in any of my information. I would much rather have an open point of contact I KNOW I will regularly check on a multiple-times-a-day-basis. I will ALWAYS check my Waypoint PMs and respond accordingly.
I’m also in the camp that Waypoint issues should be dealt with via Waypoint. Twitter provides a window into the personal for some, leading to inappropriate or off handed comments, much like ‘social stat-checking’ if you will.
