Won't fix, by design.
Seriously, using homophobic slurs has never been okay. In the last few months, the only thing that's changed is that we made some fixes to the moderator tools that enable less of that garbage to be missed.
As to why that kind of thing is not allowed here - well, that's because that kind of hateful slur is not something Bungie wishes to host on our dime. You may be a homophobic person who thinks that kind of language is normal, or you may be an ignorant fool who thinks words have no meaning because you're posting them on the internet. We really don't care - we don't want that kind of garbage here. And before you ask, "its a joke between friends" is not going to fly as an excuse.

Hear, here.

Twink!

Clinton supporter confirmed, words hurt guys :'(

I don't agree with the OP's position on homophobic slurs, but got-damn you guys make yourselves so easy to dislike for how you talk to customers [i]regardless[/i] of ignorance, negligence, ideology or the like. If you interacted with actual customers beyond digitized mediums you'd see the inherent flaw of your scathing admonition.
-
Lol you're garbage
-
I cringed after reading this.
-
Thank you for updating those tools!
-
Right on
-
This was a well-articulated response. Well-done! Now how about fixing this imbalanced game? That would be awsome!

Which Tumblr post did you get that speech from?

#Savage LOL

What the problem is, is that you're more concerned about trash talking instead of fixing things like extreme lag in trials/ iron banner. How about removing these idiotic skill based match making rules and have matches be determined by connection? Then people won't have much of a reason to use vulgar language.

That's not part of the team that handles the forums. Folks who work on the game and folks who work at the forums are separate teams.

Truth haf bein spoken!
-
Ah, Vargo Hoat. Nice to see you here on the forums, and good job with the typing, I assume you used your nose
-
Who? I did that on perpose.
-
Get 'em! Get 'em all! Hey... can you fix the like button, i can only like this post once, and that's broken.
-
What if someone is referring to a bundle of sticks?
-
If I ever use it that's what I'm always referring to. Being called a pile of worthless sticks is much worse than being called gay in this day and age
-
Oh snap! Well said dude!
-
Well, you certainly don't see that kinda language on here much anymore.
-
Thankyou!
-
Well said. Although, I'm surprised you lowered yourself to our peasant level to inform this guardian of his foolish ignorance. Oh, btw...the heroics are still not giving marks.

I appreciate the fact that you don't tolerate hate speech and straight up called it garbage. Much respect.
