There was already a thread about MLG today, and how its influence would effect Halo 4, and why it should be considered, etc.
I skimmed through it and all I saw was a bunch of stubborn ignorance against MLG with little to no reasoning as to why it shouldn’t be in the game. I just assumed that this was partially because the OP wasn’t quite as clear as it could have been, so I decided to wait several hours until that thread fell off the front page to express my views on the matter with my own OP, which I felt was more clear and explained the pro-MLG (influence) stance in much more depth. When I checked back much later, the thread was gone and I decided to do just that.
About 2 minutes later, you mods took my thread and shoved it to the back of the other one with the (IMO) less-clear OP. My thread was meant to house a civil and clear discussion, and by merging it with that other one, you have successfully bumped an irrational flame war and name-calling session.
Merging threads is a joke. Please stop with this. We don’t have much to discuss in the first place, so if you would please just let us make a damn thread without having it disregarded and thrown to the back of a flamewar, it would be appreciated.
Please read the whole thing before you ban me for posting ‘spam,’ which you will probably wind up doing anyway.
May I ask why you posted a thread instead of sending one of the mods a message?

It doesn’t tell you which mod moved your thread.

Disagree 100%. I don’t want a bunch of monkey’s trying to tell 343i how to do their job, when they have no idea how maps are made. (Forge mode uses already completed maps, so doesn’t count.)
343i would be wise to avoid involving MLG into the map creation system…They have forge, go make their “competitive maps” there.

So, you ask one mod, that mod asks his/her mod buddies, and the right mod replies, a lot better than calling out the mods.

This thread isn’t about that. This is about my thread being moved. If you would like to discuss anything even remotely related to MLG, you apparently have to post it to the back of a 6+ page thread full of rampant ignorance.

It’s an issue that needs to be brought up anyway. I didn’t really feel like PMing a mod, the same way that mod didn’t really feel like not being a complete -Yoink-.
Merging threads is a good idea. They just go about it all wrong.
-
They miss heaps about the same things. All the “We want Halo 4 info” threads should be merged, all the “Stop complaining about no info” threads should be merged.
-
They should give the thread creator a message stating why it was merged, what it was merged with and which mod merged it.
-
You should be able to engage the mod in discussion as to whether it should be restored to its own thread.

The somple fact that thread is just spam and ignorance, kind of tells me, that we are not keen on this idea for MLG to come to the 343i Studio, and destroy their creative minds.
only thing MLG could do…would to give opinions.
> My thread was meant to house a civil and clear discussion
That was your first mistake. Trying to start a civil and clear discussion around here is about as easy as trying to circumcise a particular pissed off tiger.

The spam and ignorance is mainly from the people on your side of the argument, not mine. This thread isn’t for MLG discussion anyway. Please stop.
If you have any concerns, feel free to PM a Monitor. I’ve gone ahead and locked this thread since threads of this nature aren’t allowed, okay?
