On a less pleasant note, there's been some abuse of the comments system in the fan fiction section recently. There's not a lot I'm going to do about this; the system wasn't built with idiots in mind, and policing it really isn't feasible. One writer suggested that if the abuse doesn't stop, I'd have to institute some sort of forum system and force people to register to leave comments; this isn't true. If it gets bad enough, I'll just remove the comments mechanism altogether. One of the things that makes this site interesting to a diverse group of people is the ability to contribute; artwork, music, fiction... and yes, comments on others' fiction. If it makes you feel good, or powerful, to screw up the ability of others to add to this community by forcing me to shut down areas I don't have full control over... well, maybe you need to get out more. Remember: this site is run completely on volunteer effort. We don't charge you anything, we don't force you to look at banner ads, we're simply trying to give you a place to share your love of Halo. Please - don't make it so hard for us that we simply remove areas that require policing. (Louis Wu 10:36:05 UTC) |
