Please, Bungie/Mods, just start banning people that make troll topics.
You want us to regulate the forums ourselves with mutes/reporting, but that obviously has not worked.
Yes, muting makes it so that we cannot see the posts, but they are still there.
If a new person came onto the forum and saw the Destiny thread right now, they would leave instantly with a bad image of Bungie in their head.
The punishment for trolling is not enough, you need to start taking action yourselves.

I would like to see some rules unforced, but banning wont happen because there's this notion that muting is effective, regardless of the communities opinion and the fact that a lot of this website is infested with troll topics, which is unfortunate. And I agree, it does make bungie look bad when you see some of the content that was posted here. This is the only forum I've been a part of that has this "moderators are judges" policy. Granted I do like to have control over what I see, it is pretty clear there isn't a deterrent for trolling. You have to keep muting and hiding certain things, but the next day you log on, the same content is there. New troll thread after new troll thread. All I can say is you better start clicking that mute and hide button more often, because I doubt there will be any significant changes.
