Your feels regarding the "big argument" threads on Bungie.ne(x)t
For a long time now, Bungie.net and the darkness has been a place that harbored Community discussion that was on par with the Bungie Community for the most part and Offtopic discussion that was in the guidelines of the Forum Rules and Code of Conduct.
With the Bungie.next beta stripping that all away, the ugly veil of highly debatable internet discussion topics have dripped into our walls. I am not here to complain, I am not here to give an opinion on what Bungie's stance, or your stance should be on these matters. I am merely here to see what all the members of the Community feel about these threads.
Do you think they're actually meant for true discussion? Reply whoring? Sticking it to the man?
What is your approach to these threads: [b]mute, hide, follow, like, dislike, reply, comment, avoid?[/b]
Personally, I don't go near them and don't really feel like they ever had a place in the public domain of Bungie.net. What are your feels?

Pointless really. I was just in one the other day about feminism. I tried to explain my experience with feminists, and all I was met with was "You're making generalizations! Not all feminists are like that!" When I clearly stated in my posts that I knew all feminists were not like this, it's just the [i]majority[/i] that [i]I know[/i] are like what I described. And it went on, people trying to tell me all feminists were not like how I described. I wasn't really trying to argue. I was explaining my experiences, and then it turned into an argument. Arugment threads are annoying because they don't go anywhere. If no one is open minded enough to change their opinion, which, a lot of us are not, then arguing is pointless. And it devolves into flaming.

I don't personally participate in them, but fully endorse the privilege for other people to do so. If people want to sit in a thread smash their face against a keyboard, I'm fine with that too. It's far too easy to avoid content I don't care about.

1 ReplyThe forums aren't really made for discussions so I don't really see any good discussions.

Eh, with the new posting system those threads are more just like tiny segmented arguments all contained to themselves and mostly just completely individual replies. There are no "big argument," threads anymore because they've been rendered impossible, or at least hugely inconvenient.

I avoid most of the controversial threads.

I like how Bungie really does listen to us and they are giving us more freedom, now we can selfmoderate (for now) but I bet there's more stuff to come yet, since this is just a beta and the tip of the iceberg. I can't wait to see what else Bungie is working to improve Bungie.next.
