You'd think someone in PR would have cottoned onto the concept by now, but apparently they all seem to think the best way to handle something like this is to fly into damage control and censor it all.

The issue is the publisher– Microsoft. They have the same policy with all their developers when it comes to handling leaks. They are quite aggressive, and demand that from the developer to be followed.

I had almost entirely forgotten about that blighted forum.

>90% of people on the forum yesterday got banned, and they're still getting banned.

Keep in mind that the mods ban you for discussing/linking Comic books that are released by the publisher until 343i officially posts them on the website.

There are maybe 1 or 2 mods there that aren't complete morons. I got banned by a mod for saying that some guy was just flame-baiting and people shouldn't fall for his bait, then that same mod kept falling for his bait for a few months until he finally got banned.

Was it actually 90%?
They can't be stupid enough to ban 90% of their active forum...

Seeing as how 9/10 threads were locked and every user in those threads was banned, I'm guessing 90%.
