    I don't come here much anymore anyways, and was considering requesting a demod myself, but I'll at least address this.

    Bans are between mods and the user alone, but evert ban you listed up there has at least one false statement regarding it.

    I locked the Halo PC thread because it was becoming completely OT, and all everyone was doing was flaming the new user. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear, I didn't think I had to. I was in a good mood so I figured I'd put a less serious reason in there.

    I'll continue reading.

    "why is it ok for biz to bump old threads. hes mod thread was bumped a few times by him."

    Anyone can bump old threads, just don't do it to get a +1, or reasons as such. If you have something to discuss further, add it in, or if you really think the rest of the board does too, give it a bump.

    "some of the things he has banned regs for is a bit questionable."

    As I said, fire's got mixed facts, but it doesn't matter if you're a reg or not. Everyone is subject to the same TOS.

    "A mod by the name of MidnightPanther used to be the mod that modded the Halo board on a regular basis."

    I miss him. :(

    "he just doesnt come off as someone being welcoming and friendly"

    Hey man, I grew up with two sisters and a minister/priest/church dude's son as a best friend. Do you really think I'm the most open of people? [face_tongue] It takes a bit for me to give a bit.

    yes, exactly. If you haven't read the TOS and you decide to post something that you know you probably shouldn't, then you deserve what you get. People have to think before they post. That includes OT stuff, too.

    I think he should be put on a probationary period where if he bans anyone for a stupid reason he should be demoded.

    well, That's why you have to think about what you're posting, GB. And use your best judgement. If it's an honest mistake, then that's what the warning is for, and it shouldn't happen again. The problem is that even when people have been given warnings, they continue to do things, and that's when they should be punished. People paid for insider... If they don't want some of it wasted by a ban, then they shouldn't do anything stupid.

    I havn't really been coming here too much since the school year started, but back then everything seemed to be going fine with Biz. All of you wanted him to become MOD, it's weird to see you all pull a 180 like this. Not that i am defending him, i am just telling my point of view. My guess is this thread alone would make him lighten up a little bit, so some progress has already been made.

    we all know in these coming months theres going to be nutty noob with halo 2 spoilers. true oz is a good mod but he isnt a regular here [or as much as we would like him to be] i would love to see biz remain modded but he need to chill somtimes. i will agree "in b4 da lock" is spam but let it slide once in a while. is it spam if its with a legit post as some of us do? and if we dont reply then how does that user know where to go or do? so i say lighten up of leave.

    Some of You guys are calling Biz irrational? He only does a couple of things that you do not like, and you immediately jump to demodding him? That's kinda hypocritical dont ya think?

    Anyway, i vote no to the de mod.

    Biz does a good job he has given us good information every now and again but over the past month or so i have been felling a disconnect between us regs and biz. That is why i would like to see a new mod to breath of fresh air into this board.

    Although I don't post much, I read pretty much every thread. I'm more of a lurker here. From what I see, Biz does a great job. I don't think any mod should be de-modded for one or two slip-ups (I'm not saying that he DID slip-up, either). The bans may seem questionable, but he did what he saw fit. My vote goes to keep him as a mod.

    We shouldn't have another mod, there's a contact mods button at the top for a reason... but if there were one, it would (should) be fireborn, durden or me.

    This board doesn't need a new mod. Biz is fine and in my opinion he is rather lenient. This board would be terrible if there was a mod that let anything and everything go.

Know that my brain has been cleared i can think clearly now. I was caught up in the lynch mob lol jk. Biz is a good mod now that i think about it sure he has some questionable bans but hey we would all if we were a mod.

    "i will agree "in b4 da lock" is spam but let it slide once in a while."

    I hate to bring him into this, so I won't, but I was IMed by a user just as I had opened that thread complaining about the past 2-4 days or whatever had so many of those threads. I DO let it slide once in a while, this was not once in a while.

    "biz is the guy sitting in the chair yelling yall don't know me."

    :^O

    "i think around HALO 2 release, IGN will be smart and send several mods over to give us a warning about spoilers and making up BS, so I would worry bout the new mod thing"

    See, you have to realize, mods are people, not bots you just order around. Sure, I have a few mod friends that I can ask to look after the board for a few hours/maybe days, but after a while they'll get disinterested. I'm here (mostly) because I want to be here, as is Oz.

    Midnight was mentioned in this thread, how many of you new guys know him? I wouldn't be a lot. He lost interest and no longer mods here.

    "Whisp would have made a great m0d"

    I was fully behind the Whisp moddage (sorry MC88), it's just too bad cuz he stopped posting.

    GM, no offense, but ur still pretty new here, so i really dont think ur mod material, like, at all. and for the ppl that dont think we need a mod, i beg to differ. u take a look at like Gamespot, and their Halo 2 board doesnt have a mod, and EVERY SINGLE THREAD TURNS TO SPAM. this is how a thread goes at Gamespot: a question is asked; the question gets an answer that nobody knows is true; then they go on talking about telekinetic powers, sex, and really retarded things; when somebody asks that they stay on topic, they get flamed and yelled at. now i believe that this board would stay structured for a while, but i think ppl would start to realize that nobody's watching us, and it would all go to hell

    Biz has done an alright job to my surprise. [face_mischief]

    If he must go though due to request or mad boardies convincing Big T he must I truly hope his replacement is the MasterChief88 John 117's long lost cousin!!! :^O

    Edit: However I also believe the Halo board could exist comfortably without a mod as I've seen you guys all making sure it stayed clean while there wasn't one. [face_mischief]
