like they use to be? In all super seriousness Flood.
Please guys, this forum is becoming toxic now! lets sway opinion here and let Bungie staff hear us.
Like this thread so it can be seen by someone who can do something about it
-
There was a reason they were banned in the first place. And if you look at the first couple of posts on The Flood, it wasn't always banned.
-
i demand a return to order
-
It's only "toxic" because of a few idiots. A lot of the discussion is conducted in an orderly fashion, free of insults. The actions of few should not be misinterpreted as the actions of many, so I don't see a reason to ban religious/political topics, just shut down the bad eggs.
-
Definitely.
-
Yes, definitely. This forum has shown time and time again it's not mature enough to handle these types of conversations.

No. Don't like it? Don't click it. Plenty of other threads to look at.
-
No. We have both mute and report buttons. The old way of moderating sucked. Let's not bring it back.
-
I completely agree. Yes, it should be moderated. For the past few months this forum has been terrible. Just a bunch of teenagers arguing about shit they know nothing about
-
This place would be even worse than it already is.

Edited by Spawn: 4/1/2013 1:08:30 AM[quote]this thread so it can be seen by someone who can do something about it[/quote] But... [i]you[/i] can do something about it. [quote]this forum is becoming toxic now![/quote] Then use the tools you've been given! I have absolutely no problem with political/religious threads in the forum, none, zero. Why? Because I choose to collapse them before I even look at them. I can tell just by the title and/or hashtags. I occasionally enter them to double check, but I don't care for these conversations on bungie.net. The best part is that the person isn't even notified that I did such a thing. Why do you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect something to change? [i]You[/i] have the tools, make the change, do something about it. The ninjas and webteam aren't here to do your laundry anymore. If you don't like a thread (for whatever reason) hide it. Another way to avoid it is alter your line of thinking. instead of eliminating things you don't want to see, search for things you DO want to see with the tag system. It can be anything.

Hell no. It's refreshing to see some freedom on a forum again.
-
depends on what it is and how the post is doing. if its a civil conversation then i dont see the problem but when it turns into a huge flame war where people are bashing each other then no thats not ok
-
You want to punish many for the acts of the few.

Bungie on this issue: [quote]hurr duuerrrrruhurr no u can mewt ppl[/quote]
-
While I'm not sure I have an actual stance on this question at hand, I want to say this: it [i]shouldn't[/i] have to be banned. People need to self-moderate. Most of the religion and politics topics I've ventured into have been mostly jackassery. I think it'd be neat if we could have occasional religion and politics discussion, but it's ridiculous how low quality ones seem to make up 60% of the first two pages. (And even if they were high quality, that wouldn't change the fact there's too many.) People need to lay off of it and find other things to talk about.
-
How sad (referring to poll results).
-
I like to think people are intelligent enough to have a conversation about a topic like politics and not start throwing feces all over the walls. This is the internet though.
-
I don't want the discussions themselves to go, but I voted yes because I'm tired of "ATHEEST MAZTOR RACE XD IF YU DUN AGREE UR DUMD"
-
No. In bungie.next we've been given the power to moderate ourselves. Use it. It's that simple.
-
YESYESYESYESYESYES, Kill the stupid political threads with -blam!-ing fire and banhammers.
-
Hell no, I like this new political awakening on the Bungie forums.
-
Why would we want to go backwards?
-
You are the moderator.
-
Should they be moderated? Not really. Not unless if someone is outright trolling. However, I feel like they should be moved to their own tag and out of #offtopic. They're not what I'm looking for in #offtopic and I hide about 90% of them.
-
@ people saying the forum is better now - lol no. The forum is trash now. I've basically avoided offtopic like the plague, coming here only because I'm absolutely bored right now (I'm at a point where I'm almost tired enough to go to sleep but not quite, but I don't want to get engaged in anything because I might want to hit the hay in the middle of it).
