[quote] I mean, seriously, how hard can it be to mute someone who is annoying you?[/quote] When the person has admitted to having dozens of accounts, isn't banned, and simply signs into a new account to continue messaging you? Hard.

Hard to click the button mute that takes literally no more than a second? I've been doing this with a lot of people who send me hate messages or hate responses, it's way to easy to mute.

Again, when it is daily, multiple times a day, it's get to the point where I'm not going to bother muting, because it's useless. It's like an alcoholic sitting in a bar, but getting beer taken away from him. You aren't fixing the problem directly, only pretending it's not there.

Your clicks to mute take a lot less effort than it does for someone to sign out and into another account. No response, just mute as it happens, even if it takes a thousand mutes, they'd be the one wasting more time. A permaban or IP ban wouldn't solve this anyway.

[quote]A permaban or IP ban wouldn't solve this anyway.[/quote] And simply saying there isn't a problem won't solve it anyway, considering they consider to abuse a broken system. Harlow had a great idea that I think would work.

You can still keep muting in the meantime. Reacting to it like this already fuels it. Fact is this problem is affecting you now, and this website isn't going to update that quickly. You can raise the issue and talk about it all you like and it might get fixed later. But until then just keep muting, stop responding directly.

You know, you have to click everywhere in your computer to do things right? I don't understand kids today find difficult to click a button this days? Seriously? Writing this whole thread takes 100 times more effort than actually click mute 10 times in less than 20 secs. You kids make such drama for the little things.

Okay?

The amount of time you waste with this kind of argument takes more effort than just muting a person in a second, even if that person created 20 accounts, it would take you no more than 40 secs. tops to mute him/her, that person will take way more time and trouble to make those accounts and actually write stupid stuff, that would take that person around 10 to 20 mins. of his/her time wasted, while it would take you no more than a minute to mute all his/her attempts to annoy you. Doing this thread and arguing with people that are telling you this is over dramatic takes more time and effort from your part than actually muting a person. You're the only one wasting your own time doing all this. This is why Bungie never addresses this kind of silly situations.

Alright? I don't see why you feel the need to continuing complaining about this thread when I am addressing an issue that apparently affects more than just me. I'm sorry that I'm not just going to sit aside and let it continue without trying to do something? [quote] You're the only one wasting your own time doing all this. This is why Bungie never addresses this kind of silly situations.[/quote] Someone didn't read the thread... [quote]Things everyone reading this should know: 1. We know there are still more things to improve with regards to the site's social functions (i.e., messaging/forums). 2. One of the these things was reporting users directly for things like inappropriate user names or the kind of garbage found in the PMs. 3. We do not have unlimited time and resources, so we prioritize. The change to how bans worked in early January was a result of finding a small window to make a few targeted changes. We had to limit the scope, so the profile/private messaging thing was left alone for now. 4. Unfortunately, in the near term, our time is focused on... other things. We can't constantly iterate on the forums to the exclusion of everything. We will get back to it, but not right now. That is the reality of software development - especially when the mute button is "good enough for now". It can be better, but it isn't like you can't do anything to help yourself right now. 5. In the meantime - use your mute button, and stop making threads like this. All you are doing is informing the sender of the messages that they are bothering you, and encourages them to continue, probably with added vigor. Hit mute, then be done. The person sending you these messages is clearly not worth your time, stop enabling them![/quote] They know the problem is there, they have more important priorities, but they know it is there. So, if you don't like this thread, stop posting in it? I don't know what to say to you.
