[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Halo biggest fan I see these comments in society a lot. If someone doesn't agree with you they are automatically inclined to be your enemy, and reply with their opinion on the subject; which is one of the biggest issues for flaming and insults on the Internet. The mods/Bungie can't do much to stop this, they aren't here to babysit every member and to make sure no one gets offended. Even if we had a small army of mods we couldn't do that. The only thing that you can do to these "offensive" comments would be to report them.[/quote] The only problem is they often go unreported as people would rather have "street justice". If you make the problem "A huge problem with this community" or act like it is, it can make it much worse. Sure there is flaming and trolling but it is not as bad as OP says it is. The threads he posted as evidence shows a contradiction in that we are improving. The strict policies have been abolished and the forums are not like what they were. I think a lot of this thread is assumptions and stereotypes from people who rarely use the flood and other cliches.
