I have put together a list of questions I answer a lot and just other general stuff, enjoy.
1. This is not 343i's official site. That is Waypoint. This is just a fan forum.
2. If you want to speak to the heads of this site click on the "moderating team" button at the very bottom of the page and shoot one of them a PM.
3. Do not make huge signatures, I think this might be a rule as well, but having a signature that is 3 times larger then your post does not make people think that you are cool. It does quite the opposite and breaks up the thread.
4. Please check the last post date in a thread, if it is over a few months ago you should probably just make a new thread as to not create a zombie thread.
5. Bullet number 4 does not mean that you should go around making new threads that have the exact same topic as a thread that someone made yesterday. I'm looking at you drop pod and remake threads.
6. Also to add to the above two, if there is a thread that tries to organize a bunch of topics into one thread, use it. We don't need fifty threads about what you want in Forge when there is the "Official Halo 4 Forge Thread".
7. If you think to yourself, "huh I wonder what would happen if I do this", don't do it.
8. No seriously, don't.
9. Trolling and flaming is not cool. No one thinks your're cool for doing it, they just think that you are an idiot.
10. Ensamble studios was shut down two years ago so don't get your hopes up about HW2.
11. No I do not work for 343i.
12. The thread on member ranks is here http://www.343indust...nks-and-colors/. Just because you now know that you need so and so amount of posts to reach some rank does not mean that you can make crap posts. CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISCUSSION. "Yes I agree" does not cut it.
13. General discussion does not equal anything goes.
14. DO NOT DOUBLE POST. Or we will have to find you. But really just edit the first post, it isn't that hard. There is only one exception to this, and that is if you are bumping the thread.
15. If you are going to bump your thread, try to make it informative as in to make a new point or to point out that you added something to the OP, if not that at least try to make the bump funny. Also do not bump a thread if it is still in the top 5 or so recent topics. We don't need people bumping threads just because someone posted in another thread and now their thread is in second place.
16. Do not overuse the emoticons in the shout box. We do not need two lines of
17. Instead of simply posting "Yea this is a great idea", you could just hit the "like" button. That way the thread doesn't get jammed up with less then 10 word posts.
18. Do not screw up technical stuff around TwinReaper. Also unless you are either a hacker or work for 343i, I wouldn't try arguing with him either.
19. While on someones signature in a post an "X" will appear to the right side. Use this to toggle off that particular signature or all signatures. It removes the unwanted, garish, 10" long signatures and allows for an easier read of the material since a vast majority of the pages is eaten up by them. - Absolute Dog
If you think I missed anything post it bellow.
