Can the mods please not let this happen again? (Concluded)
[quote][url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=74742264]My thanks to the moderators[/url]. With that said, this thread can be locked. It's purpose has been fulfilled.[/quote]
...and by "this" I mean all the horrible 9/11 threads that were made on the Flood last year.
Threads with hundreds posts of nothing but sick humored-jokes and images about 9/11 were thriving on 9/11/2011. The mods did lock a few threads, but threads that stood as a "main" discussion hub stayed alive, and the horrible posters were never punished for what they did. The mods basically did nothing. It got to the point where flamewars were being started over the issue of, get this... being able to make fun of it.
I know some of the mods will say that they did, in fact, ban people that day, but I know for a fact that the sick-humored posts within the threads were never taken care of.
For discussion value, what's your opinion on this issue? Not 9/11, but the issue of posters making fun of such a tragedy on the Bungie.net forums.

What? I'm not allowed to make jokes about tragedies now? What about jokes that have negative connotations? Or jokes that contain more vulgar language like 'darn'? Sure, spamming lame jokes just to get a rise out of people is bad, but conceptually there's nothing wrong with simply posting the lame joke in an appropriate context. They are [i]jokes[/i] after all. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Shanaynay If you think such a statement is true, why was [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=74443988]this thread[/url] locked? Yes, I did make that thread. So? It's not making fun of a national tragedy where [i]innocent[/i] people died. Your statement is ludicrous.[/quote]Why would you even make that thread? I'm not sure mocking someone's last words, regardless of crimes they commited in their lives, is at all more appropriate than jokes about recent tragedies. What, is it only morally abhorrent if the jokes are about innocents losing their lives? Are jokes about me throwing a wood chopping racist into a saw mill all right? [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Shanaynay [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Grimaldus [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Opt1mu5Pr1m3 15 13 minutes and I've seen about 3 threads pop up about 9/11 and all of them were locked and the creators banned. They're doing a good job about it so far. Haha[/quote]I approve.[/quote]=D Again, glad my thread brought awareness. In fact, I haven't found a single joke about 9/11 in any thread related to 9/11. It's still not "officially" 9/11/2012 yet though, so we just have to wait and see...[/quote]You do realise they're popping up early because of this thread? [Edited on 09.10.2012 11:20 PM PDT]
