...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.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Grimaldus Proper context? Wat? All people do on that piss ass of a forum is illicit responses because they know they're well beyond hitting range. There's no real consequences here that will deter -blam!- behavior....bastards will be bastards. There is no "proper context" when joking about a tragedy...people keep saying that it's been 11 years and they need to get over it...okay, and how are people supposed to get over something if the scum keep opening old wounds... Point is that there is abso-blam!-lutely NO -blam!- reason we need to allow it here. [/quote]Ok I feel I need to phrase this another way. [url=http://www.picturesandjokes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/dinosaurs.jpg]Is it wrong to laugh at this?[/url] It's a joke about the extinction of a whole age of species, regardless of how you personally think it happened, how is a joke about that any more acceptable than a joke about any other tragedy?
