BUNGIE AND THEIR BLACKLIST

[XGC BULLETHED]

recently i have been suspended from bungie for 1 week due to requesting everyday that they bring back clan list ranked btb and team snipers. Bungie never responded to the post but continued to lock out my non vulgar comments and questions. We as XILED GAMING need to set up a whole clan bombbartment of the bungie forum and request wat gamers want without being ignored or swept under the rug. Someone please help organize this so bungie will get the point and quit acting like nothing is wrong.

Not gonna happen, it isn't Bungies decision on whether or not their is a clan list.

Bungie mods are awful though, we at Xiled Gaming use a warning system to let someone know when they are pushing the envelope. At bungie they ban you for anything and everything. Recently I was blacklisted for replying to a thread which the user then changed the title to one asking for Recon armor which isnt allowed.

I was furious at their pathetic moderating.

I guess that's why I just stay off there besides checking my stats!!

The reason that those threads got locked and that you got suspended is because there are already threads dedicated to the discussion of bringing BTB and Team Snipers back.

There is also a rule stating not to discuss bringing Clan Matches back because Bungie has already said that they will never be coming back. Since Clan Matches aren't coming back, they believe there is no point in adding Clan Lists.

And, incase you didn't know, in the BTB topic thread, one of the Bungie employees said that BTB would become ranked sometime in January. Now I don't know if this will happen seeing as how January is almost over, but expect it to come back as a ranked playlist soon.

I thought they weren't bringing clan lists back because Microsoft said they were doing it 4 the dashboard. But thats just a rumor

well lets all hope that they can get everything fixed and NOT remove our clan lists!

They will not bring clan lists back for Halo 3. There are several reasons why, IF they were to add a clan list, they would do it via the dashboard:

As a company, Microsoft is looking to sell games, not consoles. Yes, the console is the first part of this equation, but (especially after filling warranty issues... heh) games are going to be where they continue to rake in the money. By providing a clan list in Halo 3, they would be encouraging people to stay on that game and not expand their gaming experience. They are also avoiding major cheating and glitching issues that they had in Halo 2, by bringing out new games - gamers move on to other games, and rank on Halo 3 is not the all-important status that it was over in Halo 2. This encourages GAMERSCORE pursuit... bringing us back to them wanting to continue to bring in revenue by selling more games.

Now, back when everyone was still crying for a clan list, a friend of mine had called XBox Live about issues that they were having. One of the things that they asked the person was whether or not clan lists would be brought back, and this helpdesk person said that they would be doing something about the clan lists.

This is the "Silver Tag" clan list as it stands now. They have provided people who really want some sort of a clan with the ability to organize clans. Major Nelson stated how to use this tag as a clan list. This is their solution to quiet people. They have provided what they are going to provide - cost of development and servers just to host clans on the dashboard is not going to make sense for them. They don't make money from clans (or so they think), and those of us who really want clans, can organize without them. They kill two birds with one stone --people requesting larger friends lists by creating the ability for them to look at other people's friends lists, and people crying for clan lists in one swift and relatively easy development move.

On the note of repeatedly requesting things in the same thread - we would do the same if you were becoming a nuisance on our forums as well.

No, they would be warned.

Not blacklisted for it.

 

[Acal]

He wasn't blacklisted. He was suspended.

 

[Jangles]

Is there a difference.

I'm pretty sure he just got slapped with a 3 day ban.

 

[Acal]

Getting blacklisted means getting permanently banned.

Getting suspended means getting temporarily banned.

wrong, I just had a 3 day blacklisting.

 

[Acal]

Then you weren't blacklisted. You were suspended.

A blacklist is something you are never taken off of.

 

[KoG STEALTH]

From what i read bungie anouncet that they will not bring back clan list they said after they split from microsoft that it is all up to microsoft to bring back clan list if they want to. As of BTB and snipers being ranked im pretty sure after awhile they will do that.

 

[Jangles]

Then you weren't blacklisted. You were suspended.

A blacklist is something you are never taken off of.

I really dont feel like arguing with you this much over something so trivial. Bungie blacklists people from their forums for various amounts of time. Whether or not they use the term blacklist incorrectly is their problem.

Im simply saying that by what their forum says and the message that comes up when I try to post is "You were blacklists on...... the ban will left on......"

Microsoft has talked about this since the beginning of time but they aren't going to do it.

Blondi, enlightening as usual, thank you. I do like to view friends list of other people but i am sure we all miss clanslist. As far as repetative threading that wasnt me, i just commented on others topic and when they got locked i started my thread. The minute i posted a thread gamers jumped on board mainly to support clan list and the old match list from h2, with a few nonclan replies. Bungie never warned, reponded, or even hinted that it was a sore subject and they will ban you for 1 week to bring it up and forever if you bring it up again. So just be careful requesting any changes on bungies website, the best way is to ask a simple pole question and not comment on your feelings about the issue under your gamertag.

 

[blondiizzle]

Oh, I understood that you were banned without warning, don't get me wrong.

We do ban after warning people.

I do have to empathize with Bungie, though, they have been dealing with this issue for a LONG time, and it is something that is basically beyond their control...

I was going to take part in an outcry on the bungie forums back in the day before the BETA even came out... lol
