...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.

As for "The wounds being fresh", the majority of people aged 11 and under might not even know about it, that's coming up to a whole generation of people already, it's not that recent a tragedy that making a joke about it is still "kicking you when you're getting back up". Did you know Genghis Khan has a 0.5% chance of being your ancestor, do you know how he died?
