Petition to have DeeJ address the spamming of Gaming, Community, and OffTopic.

Over the past few weeks, Gaming, Community, and OffTopic have had hundreds of Destiny topics spammed at them. While people posting the wrong topics in OffTopic is not as noticeable, those in the Gaming and Community forums are VERY noticeable. While I have been told that right now it is not considered an issue, I believe that to be bullshit. If the Destiny users don't know where to post now, why would they know a year from now? If anything, they'll become entrenched in their belief that ALL forums are for Destiny discussion, and OffTopic will become the last non-Destiny forum on the site; and even then, odds are this forum will get overtaken. Since the moderation team has told me in no uncertain terms that they are not going to do anything about this, I will. As good as Blonic's idea to peacefully retake the Gaming forum was, it clearly was an attempt to fix a dam with a Band-Aid. There are only three ways this will end: 1. The moderators (recruit temporary Ninjas to help them and) take the fight to the Destiny users, and begin moving every thread they see; and start giving Warnings telling the users posting in the wrong forums that they are doing just that: posting in the wrong forums. If they can do it with Porch Day and other spam attacks, they can do it with this. [u]Unfortunately, I have been told that this will not happen.[/u] 2. DeeJ needs to actually do his job and address this issue in either a Weekly Update, or make a thread in the Destiny forum (NOT COMMUNITY OR BUNGIE,) and tell the Destiny users that they need to stop posting in the wrong forums, and tell them where to correctly post their Clan/LFG topics. If he were to make a topic in Destiny or address this issue in a BWU, then this issue would be cut by half; if not completely. 3. The Webteam renames Clans, and changes the descriptions of Gaming and Community. Clans implies it is only for clan recruiting, and seeing as how the Destiny users don't even use it for clan recruiting anyway, it is now an irrelevant forum. It needs to be renamed to something that implies it is for game-hosting of any and all kinds. I recommend either Recruiting, the Classifieds, Matchmaking, Multiplayer. or something that better conveys it's purpose to the users of this site. Optimally, this will be done in conjunction with Option 2. Nothing will change unless something changes. If you agree with what I said, and support this; then please tell me so and I will add your username to this petition. No alts please; only sign once and preferably with your main account's username if you're currently using an alt. I'd like to keep the legitimacy of this petition high.

  • Although I admire the attempt, may I make a few suggestions? Firstly, you may want to rewrite some of your petition and remove swears and the second part needs to be cleaned up so you don't sound so condescending. If you really want this to be taken seriously, insulting Deej is just going to make him ignore it more (especially since he doesn't take what people say on the site seriously.) I know a lot of people, my self included, are upset with how things are turning out on the site lately. I've seen a few moderators say they've been trying to move as many topics as they could but there's too many posts at once, so I'm cutting them some slack. Concerning your idea for renaming #clans, I agree. I think #Recruiting works best. I believe it was Achronos who said before it's not called Classifieds because people don't understand that term/concept anymore (probably a misquote but close enough.) I also agree that the descriptions for forums may need a tweak. Bungie vets get what Bungie is going for but new users aren't used to the style I guess. I'd also suggest naming the app back to the Bungie app, the title Destiny is actually making this worse, people believe it's the only thing the app is for. Frankly, the title also seems exclusive, as if the whole community likes Destiny, which many have voiced they do not like it, so they may feel left out of the community now. Your suggestion for Deej posting notifications in the news and BWU on where topics belong may help. My only concern is how many uses actually read the news. You may also want to think about adding to your petition these announcements be posted to social media sites Bungie uses. Sticky posts would also help this situation, sadly Achronos has also said nobody really used/looked at sticky posts. Maybe guidelines should be posted in the Welcome Desk? Finally, maybe suggest new users have to wait a certain amount of time or post in topics a certain amount of time before being able to create topics. Sorry for the length and I hope it helps.
