Why can't we discuss illegal substances on Bnet?

Always been a bit curious about this. It doesn't have to be a thread necessarily condoning them, but one where they are just generally discussed.

  • >_> [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] edableshoe It goes more like this for Bungie: They want to give us what we want, because it makes us happy, and keeps us with them. They also want to look good while giving us what we want. So, to do this, they make rules for us to follow. The rules are pretty gray, and sometimes we can bend them, so for the most part, it isn't all that bad a situation. You see, the thing is, they had to make a couple rules that would make sure they didn't look bad. Now, of course, these rules can't be part of a "gray area" type situation like a lot of the other rules. It just wouldn't work, because these rules are going to make sure Bungie doesn't get into any sort of trouble with the law. One of these rules pertains to illegal drugs. Bungie is smart, and they know that anyone who is seriously into illegal substances are associated with trouble (for the most part) and are also very VERY smart. These people could use their forums as a means of communication about selling or buying, what is good product and where to get it. As someone who grew up around this world, I already know that Bungie would be at terrible risk, solely due to the fact that this web site acts like a social networking site. So, Bungie, also taking note of this, decides that, "let's cut our losses, and not risk ANYTHING at ALL, and ban discussion of any illegal substances." This goes along with the "better safe than sorry" approach any serious business should take when letting the internet dictate how this business appears. Now, I know, it's unfair, because when you were 12 or 13 you made an account, and now you really like it here, and ever since Jimmy down the street smoked you up with a J, you feel like you know everything about wide clef kush. But, you don't. This is Bungie Dot Net. If you can't get it in your head at this point that here is not the place to discuss these things, they it's probably best that you leave. I don't see it ever changing, and I completely agree. I don't wanna talk about this stuff with you dopes, you all know jack -blam!- about it anyway. To summarize, Bungie has a name to withhold in the public eye, and they can't have that stuff cluttering up what the public sees. Also, talking about the legalization of illegal drugs is considered political, and that's also against the rules, because THOSE topics always end with someone else breaking ANOTHER rule about being respectful to other users. So, put your big boy pants on, and go find another place to talk about all that Jazz. If it's too damn inconvenient for you, you must not have wanted to talk about it all that badly in the first place.[/quote]
