Absolute Dog

For both of you please understand a few things. One, we are unable to ban your accounts. This is a community forum. There is no legitimate appeal system for bans. Second, I personally have created this OP, or thread, to draw attention to cases just like yours of genuine and honest players who are being caught in a faceless and unfair automated ban system. I truly understand and feel your despair and anxiety. I have only had one of my accounts banned before and it was a deliberate attempt by me to do so to draw attention to the failure of the system and loss of Bungie's interest in ranked play. Because of the sheer positive statistics of that account, my posts in their forum while they managed the game and what I was able to accomplish before the ban got me an invite to play and audience with an actual Bungie employee. Though there was no resolution to my concerns at that time, I respected the personal contact that I finally achieved. This thread will stay pinned in any hopes to draw further attention to your concerns. Thank you for allowing me to use your stories to gain notice to this issue.

Moved your post, my OP should have been closed, sorry. Please offer the suggested items in my OP to allow members to locate your maps.

Gamertag- GlobalHawk722 Maps- Primordium Flashpoint along with any that are listed as remixes of BTB maps like paradiso, hemorrhage, and ridge-line. I thought i did a pretty good job forging these maps and any input from others would be appreciated.

Okay....since you seem to have finally found the right thread now, I will close this one and Buddha should be happy.

This forum allows you to offer links for downloading of maps for member testing. Please offer a link for download, brief description of the map, game types it supports and any specific feedback you may like to have. Remember to respond politely with criticisms and comments.

This forum allows members to arrange forge parties. Simply post what type of map you wish to forge, your experience level and what times you are available. You may want to list your gamer tag to make it easier for members to send invitations.

This is the forum for offering you to offer your tips and tricks of forging to members. You may post your how to narratives, images and videos here to help your fellow forgers learn from the experience you have acquired. Be sure to give a full description of any video you post to allow the community to fine tune their search of this forum. Here is a look at the pieces inside of forge that you have to work with. These pieces may not look like a whole lot, but when combined together they can become some of the most enjoyable killing fields, incredibly unique structures and creative environments imaginable. As time permits I will post some of the more creative designs I have made, as well as those of fellow forgers.

You can do a walk through and just take some pics in theater later. Just position yourself in some good vantage points.

First off this is the wrong form and second we have a pinned thread here for Halo 4 forge. I am closing this OP. Please post in theOfficial thread.

We currently have three awards that are available as member voted awards! These are the awards and their meaning: Teddy Bear : For being the nicest member of the forum. ( This will be a monthly vote and winner keeps it) Beer Mug : For being the funniest member of the forum. ( This will be a monthly vote and winner keeps it) Tough Mod : For being the toughest moderator of the forum. (Three month vote and gets passed on) You are not allowed to vote for your self! The voting format will be in this manner, please copy this: Nicest Member : Funniest Member : Toughest Mod : Okay....so get to voting and let's keep the thread clean of off topic posts since it makes it much harder to compile the vote. The voting begins now and will end on Tuesday January 31st at midnight. Have some fun with this guys! (Anyone found using a second account for voting will be stripped of all awards)

Lester I could not agree and empathize more with your situation. I can see the patterns in play, game types and weapon of destruction overall and can see a true novice player on that account. I have a long history in my posts of being one who speaks out against the auto ban system not having the ability to discern between a novice, or inexperienced player, and one who takes advantage of the system. This game, more than any other in the series, was created with the novice player in mind and seems to punish the very ones they attempted to bring into the Halo "fold". We were all noobs and and mostly all could not hit the broad side of a Wraith from 10 feet away with a Rocket. I will again "pin" this a thread I created on behalf of players like your daughter and parents like you and DethDale and see if or forum members are willing to offer some support. You can select the word "story" I have typed in the color cyan for the link to the story. Please post your story again there as politely and with the same information so members and others may see what the ban system is doing to newer players. Thank you for your post.

Absolute Dog......"The Blue Team", saying......"Welcome to the forums!".

Imp........I am honestly glad you shared this publicly. It shows who one of the "children" are, at the very least.

Congratulations to RANMAN10 on winning the Logo Contest. The vote was close and the entries were all good.

16th of July and have 1512 posts.

Every time I read that I smile........

Eli I can safely say that most fans of Halo would love to be Beta testers for the Halo franchise and other games. Your best bet is to do dedicated searches of the web to find legitimate sources for Beta testing. Being a community forum we offer no direct access unless a member has a lead or contact to share with you.

That is a very obvious fake. Just throw it in the trash with all the other bs out there.

For the time being I will absorb Choot'ems' duties and AgentLofi has graciously stepped forward to help me with the Community Play Date. For the time being the position will be Choot'ems' and there are enough staff on hand for assistance. What Choot'em brought to the forum can not be replaced......his love for the community, raising community spirit, his challenges and his desire to give reward to responding members was what got him noticed and promote to where is now is.

Welcome to the forums Danny. There are a number of knowledgeable members here on all variety of topics. You can either use the shout box or post a question in the appropriate forum for whatever you need. Check out the Halo Universe forum for some straight forward knowledge.

I do forge Beast, but with work, the forums, friends and the most important thing to me.....I have little time to work there of late. I will look at any map and share mine with you whenever the time allows. By the way I appreciate the quote for your signature!

Hey Beast! Welcome to the forums. Please ensure that you are termite free because most of the furniture is made of wood!

Until we can sit side by side laughing and killing some noobs again.............keep good care of what means so much to you and your other family will always be here with open arms.

Congratulations Nut! As Agent Lofi would say, "Now with more nuts!".
